    [Movies] Great movies that nobody seems to talk about?

    I don't know why, but I got to thinking about Pan's Labyrinth today. For some reason, nobody ever seems to talk about it, yet I actually consider it among one of the better, unique movies I've ever seen. It's definitely strange, and DEFINITELY not a "feel-good" movie, but it just really left an impression on me, for some reason.

    What are some other great, but often-overlooked movies? Something that either never got much exposure, or that "everyone's heard about, but nobody's ever seen"?

    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.

    I really liked the movie "Moon," but no one seems to have heard of it... it's part Castaway, part 2001: A space odyssey.

    Blood In Blood Out. The acting is really cheesy at times but It's a really good movie. I only know one other person that has seen it or even heard about it.

    Oh and, The Station Agent. It's the movie that launch Peter Dinklage's career, awesome little indie film.

    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.

    I watched it when it first came out, because i love 30 Seconds to Mars. The movie is great and deserves more attention.

    I'm guessing most people haven't heard of a movie called Hesher. Best movie I've seen in a really long time.

    OT:

    Brick, with Jospeh Gordon Levitt, it is quite hilarious, refreshingly unique, and idk it just grabbed me.

    you didn't like galaxy quest, that movie is great! I also only found brick to be just ok, like its just a noir movie in color and in high school.

    I luuurrrrvvv Children of Men. It's the only movie I've ever cried during.

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

    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.
