I want some good movies people haven't seen - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'd love to talk about some movies.

I'm looking for some underappreciated movies.

I have over 2,000 movies in my collection and now there is nothing I want. I`m hoping some people know of some real gems of movies that might be overlooked. So low budget, great acted movie that just flew under the radar. Any suggestions would be welcome!!!

Here is my list of movies you need to watch but probably haven`t.

The New York Ripper
Freeway
Hard Candy
Bubba Ho-Tep
The Experiment
Fido
Pink Flamingos
Filthy World
SLC Punk
Zero Day
The Boys From Brazil

Here are movies you should have seen but if you didn`t you need to watch them

Blazzing Saddles
Robo Cop
Hotel Rwanda
Unforgiven
Aclockwork Orange
Schindler`s list
Jerimiah Johnson

I`d love more feedback and get your opinions

Lesser knowns-

That Little Monster 1994-A girl gets a job babysitting for a strange couple, and their even stranger baby. Very David Lynchian.

Eyes Of Fire 1983- Surreal and atmospheric horror-western about a preacher leading a group of people in search of a new home. What they find instead is a haunted valley, and evil spirits.

Static 1986- A factory worker invents a device he claims can show images of heaven.

Poison For The Fairies 1984- Mexican horror film set in the 60's. A new girl at a boarding school befriends another girl who wants to be a witch. They soon begin to play deadly games together.

The Spirit of the Beehive 1973- In 1940's Spain, a 7 year old girl after seeing the movie 'Frankentstein' believes the monster is real and sets out to find him.

UFOria 1985- Quirky smalltown inhabitants prepare for an exterrestrial arrival.

The Reflecting Skin 1990- During the 1950's a boy becomes convinced the widow who lives up the road is a vampire.

The Quiet Earth- 1985- One morning a man awakes finding he may be the only person left.

The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey 1988- A group of people wanting to escape The Plague during the 14th century, dig a tunnel and find themselves in a modern day world.

Trust 1990- A pregnant highschool dropout meets a much older troubled man who carries a grenade

Beyond The Valley of The Dolls-my favorite film. You wont see anything like this ever.

Carnival of Souls-just watch it

Shadows-John Cassavetes first film as a director and takes a look in the life of three black siblings. Ahead of its time

Faces-another Cassavetes film that looks at a marriage thats falling apart

I love Russ Meyer movies. Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, as weird as it is- is probably Meyer's most "normal" movie.

I like showing Freeway to people who have never seen it before, and only think of Reese Witherspoon as little miss goodie-two-shoes, and watch their reaction.

Freeway 2 on the other hand, what a stinkfest.....

Has anyone seen Voyage of the Rock Aliens? I had never heard of this movie until yesterday when I found 2 sealed copies at Goodwill. This one stars Pia Zadora and I found out that it's considered a cult classic and not easy to find.

I have it on VHS. I like collecting these offbeat 80's comedies- to me it fits in the same mold as Surf II '84, Lobster Man From Mars '89, The Jet Benny Show '86, The Wizard of Speed and Time '88, Hyperspace '84, Remote Control '88....

Rock Aliens is a wacky silly musical comedy. It also has Ruth Gordon and Michael Berryman. It makes for a great double feature with Surf II as both poke fun at the 60's beach party movies.

and I'm on the hunt for The Fertilichrome Cheerleader Massacre '89

The courtroom scenes are such a riot. So many quotable lines from that movie.

Atlas · 08-12-2009, 11:45 PM

For those of you that haven't seen "Hard Candy" Go get it. Great movies with basically only two people in it.

Check it out.

I saw that. I thought she was crazier than the pedophile...

There's another great movie I saw with a very small cast. It was Richard Linklater's Tape (2001).

The movie is just Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Robert Leonard in a motel room talking. Really good.
