Movies You Love That Aren't Well Known

"The Gods Must Be Crazy" (or something like that). I can't believe I just thought of this one, as I haven't seen it in over 20 years. It's a very funny story about an African tribe that finds an empty Coke bottle (thrown out of a plane) and the absolute chaos it reeks on their small village. Doubt most video stores would even carry it. Anyone else ever seen it?

Hollywod Knights - Robert Wurl, Tony Danza, Michelle Pfeiffer

Diggstown - James Wood and Lou Gossett Jr.

Cheyenne Social Club - Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart

American Hot Wax - with very young Fran Drescher and Jay Leno (very small parts)

 

Diggstown is a great flick. I used to watch it all the time back in the day.

I'll add a couple more of my all time favorites, that I'm sure many have not heard of.

 

Roman Polanski's Pirates

The Burb's

Translyvania Twist

Transylvania 6-5000

Nothing But Trouble

A Perfect World, featuring Kevin Costner

Clue

 

 

Love that movie.

Vision Quest. Good time of the year to watch it since it's a wrestling movie.

 

Music Box with Jessica Lange. Didn't expect the ending.

 

My whole intention to logging on this thread was to add this to the collection. Nice pick... :thumb:

Netflix has it, and it's hilarious, IMO. :lol:

 

A Bronx Tale- Robert De Niro made his directorial debut with this one.

 

I own that one. I love it. I love how "dark" it is...I mean really, the filming seems almost monochromatic.

 

Clockwork Orange. Kinda strange, but a good one.

I figured everyone had seen this one. :lol: The first time I saw it was in my high school AP Psychology class.

 

Here are some that I like. The first three are in my all time top ten.

 

Cidade de Deus

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

Dogville

Very Bad Things

Magnolia

Boogie Nights

Malena

Swimming Pool

Amores Perros

Dirty Pretty Things

In America

Irreversible

The Magdalene Sisters

21 Grams

 

There are probably plenty more.

 

To the bolded, all very good movies. I figured a lot more people had seen Boogie Nights, so I didn't mention it. 21 Grams is another movie that, like Dogma, I rarely run into anyone who's seen. Considering both movies' casts I don't understand that. As well, they are both absolutely GREAT movies. Magnolia was one I had to watch more than once to appreciate. The first time I saw it I was like Huh?? :lol:

What about The Saint, with Val Kilmer. It's probably my favorite Val Kilmer movie...and I like 'em all. :lol: Heat is my second favorite.

21 grams and Dogma are both great movies. Like you, I'm always surprised that more people haven't seen Dogma. It has a great cast.

What about The Piano. Has anyone seen that? Or The Green Card?
