Saw this a while back, had huge expectations. I mean a tire going around killing people, how could it ever not be awesome? Oh right, if the tire kills with psychic powers.

Moon - Amazing Movie, Amazing Soundtrack!

[Veyne]

Stay (2005)

I love Mindfucks. I had been searching long and hard for a good mindfuck for ages when I stumbled upon this one a few years ago.

While I don't believe it compares to traditional "great films," It's a great movie, with great atmosphere, and a decent twist.

beat me to it, I talk about it alot though..usually involves the phrase "I can't believe the Academy fucked Moon over..."

Waterword for me. As i see it that movie gave us the most likely post apocalypse...A nigh neverending ocean not a super desert.

Waterworld is famous for being bad even O_o

[QUOTE=Altrec;19669689]The Illusionist
In my opinion at least. I don't think a lot people have seen it let alone talk about it. It came out the same year as The Prestige which got most of the praise, but I thought The Illusionist was much better.[/QUO

Definitely concur

Some more known, but still not talked about so much movies -

Training Day. One of my personal favorites, this movie is remembered by most as "the one where Denzel Washington won an oscar." But the writing in this movie is freaking awesome. Very deep themes. All the actors do very well, and the pacing is excellent.

Children of Men. Nobody ever seems to mention this, but its probably the best movie I've ever seen. Everything about it is amazing.

Some lesser known movies few people have heard of -

Drive. Great movie. Would recommend it to anyone.

The Road. A few of you may have seen this, but its still not talked about as much as it should be. Very well made film.

... No, everything about it is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

[Revik]

I can think of a few.

Excalibur - One of my personal favorite movies.
Infernal Affairs - Everyone talks about Departed but no one talks about the movie it basically copied. The real joke is that it won an oscar for best original screen play.
Primer - One of the best time travel movies you'll likely to ever find.
Blue Velvet - One of the more straight forward David Lynch movies that was full of cool scenes. Plus it has the late Dennis Hopper at his finest.

Delicatessen.

[Kreyzor]

Oldboy - Dude is locked up for years and years in a motel room, get let out one day, awesome fight scenes ensue

This. Just recently saw it and is one of the best movies I've ever seen, yet nobody I know has even heard of it (probably because it's foreign but w/e).

[Neetz]

Pan's Labyrinth is amazing and I've seen it a few times. When speaking to people the movie subject always comes up and one I always mention that nobody has ever seen is 'The Color Purple' - such an amazing movie, and the first movie that I cried to many years ago. Well... I say cried but I literally balled my eyes out ;p

[Jackmoves]

Well people talked about this one, but it's still one of those I like to watch every now and then.

Cidade de Deus(City of Gods)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of...282002_film%29

And as always in film threads I'll have to say La Haine, I think a lot of people miss it/overlook it anyways. Black and white movie. Full movie with subtitles is up on Youtube btw. GO GO GO!

La Haine(Hate)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Haine

Always loved this movie, menacing as hell. Vincent is great in it to!


Tag line.
"Heard about the guy who fell off a skyscraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept saying to reassure himself: So far so good... so far so good... so far so good. How you fall doesn't matter. It's how you land."

Just thought a couple more movies:

Pi - Precursor movie to Requiem for a Dream
Swimming with Sharks
Memento - quite possibly Christopher Nolan's best movie.

[Libram]

A.I.

One of my favorites. I thought it had a pretty good ending too, somthing that's been on a decline in more recent movies imo.

[Harry Botter]

Requiem for a Dream is very overlooked. If/When I mention it when talking to friends almost nobody seem to heard about it. And if they did they have not seen it.

Darren Aronofsky FTW!!!! This movie and another he made, Pi.

The Machinst. What Christian Bale did to prepare for that movie and to know just a few short months later he was filming his first Batman movie.[COLOR="red"]

Maybe it's just me being sleepy, but how is Pi a precursor to Requiem?

[draynay]

love Excalibur

love Hot Rod too but it is also bad

and people talked plenty about Waterworld, but their faces were twisted into screams and most of what they said, yea it was pretty much screaming, that movie was awful

[Deleted]

Shelter(2007), Prayers for Bobby. I guess those two are no wonder because, yeah, it has "gay" scenes and I wouldn't admire myself if it got overlooked by a lot of people, especially the second one since it didn't went on the cinema and it was premiered on TV instead.

Asides from that The Help, Let The Right One In and City of God.

That's all I remember now or think that is kinda overlooked.

[Sanavi]

Just saw this on TV the other day, can't believe I've never seen it. Watch it. Now.
