Lesser known but good movies?

[hacksawfg]

Brotherhood of the Wolf (bonus points for Monica Belucci, who IMHO is the hottest thing to come from Italy since Sophia Loren)

Mystery Men isn't bad superhero comedy

Idiocracy.

Kung Fu Hustle

And if you're looking for something really, really, really different (and believe me, I could add at least three more 'really' there), check out Rubber.

Love that movie

The scene where the little dog whizzes in the sleeping guys face is priceless.

Dead solid perfect. A golf movie from the eighties starring Randy Quad.

The Castle. An Australian comedy about The Man wanting to level a subdivision and the neighborhood fighting the good fight

Fortress (TV 1985) - IMDb No, not that horrid Christopher Lambert space prison flick. This one is about an Australian school teacher and her remote village school class that is kidnapped into even more remote environs by some lunatics and how they bond together to survive their captivity. It's a very gun-friendly movie.

Shoot to Kill (1988) - IMDb City clicker cop follows a modern mountain man into the wilderness in pursuit of a bank robber/murderer. "*chew* Marmot? What's a marmot?"

Last of the Dogmen (1995) - IMDb Tom Berenger playing essentially the same character as in Shoot to Kill, but this time in search of a lost tribe of Indians.

Rubber most definitely is a different movie. Interesting and not all together unwatchable.

Lords of Dogtown

Last of the Mohicans- Danial Day Lewis
Eddie and the Cruisers
I watched Last of the Mohicans again last week and I DVR'ed Eddie and the Cruisers watching it now. Young Tom Barringer in this one.

 

[CathyInBlue]

OMG! Last of the Mohicans! I love that movie. That's the movie that got me hooked on period pieces.
