Looking for good 'little' films to rent

Tools    





Anyone have ideas for DVD rentals? We're looking for offbeat 'little' films, any genre except horror. I am completely out of ideas....

Don't know what you mean by "little films", and if you're stuck renting from Blockbuster you may not be able to find much on the shelves anyway, but some you might not have gotten around to or heard of that I really like are...

Last Night (1998 - Don McKeller)
The Red Violin (1998 - François Girard)
Cookie's Fortune (1999 - Robert Atlman)
Chinese Box (1998 - Wayne Wang)
Normal Life (1996 - John McNaughton)
The Pledge (2001 - Sean Penn)
Six-String Samurai (1998 - Lance Mungia)
Goodbye, Lenin! (2004 - Wolfgang Becker)
Men with Guns (1997 - John Sayles)
Limbo (1999 - John Sayles)
City of Ghosts (2003 - Matt Dillon)
Touch (1997 - Paul Schrader)
The Squid and the Whale (2005 - Noah Baumbach)
The Butcher Boy (1998 - Neil Jordan)
Box of Moonlight (1996 - Tom DiCillo)
Waking the Dead (2000 - Keith Gordon)
I'm Not Scared (2004 - Gabriele Salvatores)
Junebug (2005 - Phil Morrison)
In the Realms of the Unreal (2005 - Jessica Yu)


Those are some from the past ten years to get you started.

Thanks!



Well I'd recommend "Hard Candy"... Not what I'd call a "Horror", more of a psychological thriller...



Another vote for Hard Candy...also Notorious Betty Page and The Devil and Daniel Johnston



Make that 3 votes for hard candy, you could try Elephant, That's not a bad little film,

or click here and see if you can get any inspiration from my own collection

Watch 'Dead Man's Shoes'. It's amazing, pretty dark though. Amazing soundtrack !

Yeah, fa sho, The Butcher Boy, it's good stuff. And, Six String Samurai, it's kooky. Asians are crazy.
