Re: Interesting movies to watch?
Never mind, RedQueen--I just saw in another thread your list of the 5 films you'd watch over and over, and we're worlds apart in our movie preferences. The younger members are more likely to come up with suggestions you'd favor.

Re: Interesting movies to watch?
That's alright rufnek, I do enjoy a wide variety of movies and I don't normally watch horror movies, but really are just horror movies gory? not really, so if everyone could keep that in mind that would be much appreciated :D thanks again for everyone who has mentioned something already :)

Re: Interesting movies to watch?
OK, most of these are mainstream, but I'll start with them:
Excalibur Back to the Future trilogy Dragonslayer Westworld Coma Animal House American Graffiti Willow King Kong (2005) Less well-known/mainstream: The Silent Partner (1978) Mischief Dazed and Confused Diner My Father's Glory Le Boucher (1970) The Innocents I'll come back with some more if you like any of these. |
Re: Interesting movies to watch?
Renaissance Man (1994) - A dramatic comedy.
The Quiet (2005) - A dark drama/thriller (that's not gory). Match Point (2005) - A very thought-provoking drama. |
Re: Interesting movies to watch?
2001: A Space Odyssey
Twilight Samurai |
I really don't know what exactly you're looking for, but I'll throw out five titles that I feel deserve more attention:
Wild Tigers I Have Known The Element of Crime Keane All the Real Girls Crimes of Passion |
Following (Christopher Nolan) - guerilla filmmaking style about a lonely's man's
attempt to connect to society by following random strangers until he follows one that will changes his life forever.. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...ts/9505381.JPG A Way Of Life (Amma Asante) - racial drama depicted the life of a single mother in Wales who lives in a council estate and her interactions with people from other ethnic backgrounds and cultures. http://auteurs_production.s3.amazona...10043/wl01.jpg I'll post more when I can think of them. |

^I've never heard of any of those movies. Thanks for finding the obscure

Re: Interesting movies to watch?
I find it hard to believe that you've never heard of The Wizard of Oz or The Dark Knight or even Pinocchio. Not to mention the fact that most of those movies are far from obscure.

Anyway, back on topic. Here are ten interesting, non-mainstream (and nothing too gory, of course) films that I'd recommend (that haven't been mentioned already...) Naked (Mike Leigh, 1993) After Hours (Martin Scorsese, 1985) Kikujiro (Takeshi Kitano, 1999) Thunderheart (Michael Apted, 1992) Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick, 1978) The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949) Altered States (Ken Russell, 1980) Glengarry Glen Ross (James Foley, 1992) They Live (John Carpenter, 1988) Sunset Blvd. (Billy Wilder, 1950) |
Re: Interesting movies to watch?
I find it hard to believe this cat hasn't heard of any of these movies. I must ask:
How old are you, Chimpo? If you consider stuff like Spiderman and The Wizard of Oz obscure... Well I don't know what to say! |
