Lesser known but good movies?

Strange Brew!

I personally like My Bloody Valentine, both versions, but with the edge going to the newer.

Perkins 14 was also pretty good.

In Bruge!

The howling 3: The marsupials

I must recommend this to everyone. Oddly enough noone has taken me up on actually watching it though....

Hell Comes to Frogtown was only better than its progressively worse sequels.

They Live

Executive Decision (Steven Segal gets killed in the first important scene of the movie, woot!)

 

[Kirk Freeman]

One movie I always recommend is "The Original Gangsta's".

Why does Jim Brown need a gun? He can just crush the forehead of the bad guys with his hand(s). The dude must have Michael Jordan-sized hands.

I saw a very funny (dark) comedy last weekend, The Beginner's Guide to Endings.

Harvey Keitel, 2010:

Here are a few under-recognized classics....use your Google-Fu for details:

Thief (starring James Caan)

The Gambler (also a Caan movie)

Pope of Greenwich Village

Bubba HoTep (Elvis in a nursing home with JFK, pursuing an evil Egyptian Mummy...a true classic)

A Boy and His Dog (very early Don Johnson TEOTWAKI movie with a killer ending)

Moon
American History X
Sunshine
Ronin

They all were better than I expected, and I don't think they were widely seen.

I've heard several mentions of samurai movies, but nothing about Shogun Assassin.

 

[drysdaleg]

Rampage - it's on Netflix.

 

[Benny]

Rampage ain't bad.

 

[Audie Murphy]

Dear Wendy.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

This movie called My Way is available online for streaming from Netflix. I watched it the other night and it's really good.

This fact-based wartime drama follows two young men, one Korean and one Japanese, whose athletic rivalry ends with the start of World War II. Captured by the Soviets, both men escape but are separated, only to meet again in the D-Day invasion.
