Unpopular must see films

fairly unpopular must see films.

donnie darko - about a skitzo kid who has to save the world

boondock saints - awesome movie about two irish brothers protected by god that go on a crusade.

waking life- movie about people and their different beliefs about life and conditions surrounding humanity, incredible movie if you're really into philosophical conversation.

barton fink- movie about a guy trying to make it big in the 1950's as a screenwriter but stumbles onto something that changes his life, its kind of like a david lynch film (he did lost highway, mulholland drive) its good if you like that genre of film.

post some movies and give brief descriptions people, i need new films to check out.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

g0dzer0, I once again agree with you.
The Boondock Saints is a must see movie, especially now that a sequels coming out to continue the story of the McManus brothers.

Also
Tigerland- Ive noticed that not many people know about it.

Almost everyone I have spoken to who saw Donnie Darko absoloutley loved it. Just because something didn't do well at the box office [not that I know how Darko fared] doesn't mean it is unpopular. There is a difference between being unpopular and not finding an audience, even an unhappy one.

I`ll nominate Election.
A superb dark comedy, that has no doubt suffered from a lousy DVD/VHS cover.

Pups!
Its a film people hardly ever see, because of its direct to video
release. The acting was brilliant, especially from new comers Cameron Van Hoy & Mischa Barton.

2 Days In The Valley
This is another direct to video film, but once again, is really brilliant. It follows the trend of Pulp Fiction & Snatch, and is nearly of the same high standard!


Can't think of any more right now, will post more soon!

I could've sworn that was a theater release. I liked it, but not nearly as much as Pulp Fiction. You could tell it was hanging on some coat tails.

Both Pups and 2 Days in the Valley had U.S. theatrical releases, though Pups was only an arthouse run and 2 Days was a bomb barely breaking $10-million - one of the many Tarantino-lite projects that the public rejected.

But I assume Liam meant Australian theatrical releases, and since both films were already financial failures by then, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the studios decided to go for video-only releases in some of the other markets.

Pi was, ummmm, very intersting movie hahah. You should check it out. Donnie Darko VERY good movie, i like the part where hes talking to the insperational counsler. Mad Max movies, all of them, hopefully the new one wont suck. Anyone remeber the Pest? if you do i would like to hear your thouhgts on it. One more that i wanna know aboot....eye of the Beholder was that a very well known? you know with Ashely Judd and Ewan McGregor.

That movie had so much promise, then it fell into a standard cliche. Ho-hum ending also. Too bad, I thought I was really going to like it too.

"The Traveller". Bill Paxtons directorial debut. I really enjoyed it, and I've yet to hear anyone EVER mention it. Mark Wahlberg also stars in this crime noirish underwatched film. Watch it, let us know what you thought.

"Chuck and Buck". A really interesting dark comedy.

The comment in IMDb was: "Pups" tells of a 13 year old boy/girl couple who attempt to rob a bank with Reynolds playing the on-scene FBI honcho. Total rubbish, poorly acted, with a terrible script, awful acting, lousy direction, and no sense at all of police procedure, etc. this flick has no entertainment value, is a new low for Burt Reynolds, and is generally a complete and utter waste of time.

People sure have different taste for movies....well..i gotta see myself to give my opinion

A definite must-see movie is Fight Club. I don even know people who haven't seen it yet

I remember seeing this movie a few years back that was just eerie, shockingly cool, nobody i have asked has ever seen it... it was called nightwatch, about a newly hired nightwatchmen working in the city morgue and a cop that loved corpses a little too much, if I remember correctly it had pratricia arquiete.

Also Dark city and city of lost children were good and not very popular.


And last but not least I think I am the only person in the world that actually liked water world. go figure
