Would you all actually recommend the films you're listing?

For example, the movie Cryptic Road only has 25 IMDb votes. But also I would not recommend it to anyone. (Well, not to anyone I like as a person).

Yeah, was about to say this. I thought the film was excellent.

Not all. That's why I mentioned on my first list that the first three weren't really good. Trying to put something for each film I list.

Using the "less than 1000 IMDb rating" criteria, some possible Halloween viewing:

@Rockatansky Since you're talking about Halloween films, have you seen this obscure film called Nightbeast? You might like it.

Most of them are foreign, but a couple US rarities as well. There are a bunch of duds there, but highlighted the ones I felt more strongly. The other ones could go either way, depending on your tastes and tolerance.

Note: I think that @Takoma11 was the one that recommended Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts, but I might be wrong. I also think that @ThatDarnMKS saw 10 Rillington Place.

I think crumbsroom has already seen this one, but more people need to watch it. I rewatched and reviewed it a week or two ago and it held up really well.

I did! For one of your monthly challenges. And I second the recommendation.

Speaking of @ThatDarnMKS, I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that we did an episode on my podcast on "hidden gems" and little known films that we feel deserved more attention, so allow me the shameless self-plug.

The Movie Loot 37: The Hidden Loot

For a while, it was my most downloaded episode, but it's #2 right now :shifty: :D

Re: What films have you seen that you think most people haven't seen?
 

Of the above post by @Rockatansky I've seen two. Satan's Slave isn't too hot and I prefer the remake/sequel by Joko Anwar. The Strangeness is an OK little horror with some cool stop motion effects.

When I watched Overboard starring Cliff Robertson and Angie Dickinson, I had to create the Letterboxd entry myself. Since then one other person has logged it! That's my contribution to society.


Also, dozens of B-movies from the 30s and 40s. Started a real deep dive when the lockdown first started that continues to this day

The Policeman, an Israeli comedy from 1971. It has a little over 700 IMDB votes and only 20 reviews on Letterboxd. I highly recommend it, although I'm not sure how you'd see it. I watched it on a bootleg DVD that was recorded from Israeli TV.

Most guests at the wedding were perturbed by Torgo's highly eclectic gift registry.

LOL. Some people register with Crate & Barrel. Others, Target. I'm a bootleg DVD guy.

That awkward moment when two people show up at the gift table, both with a DVD that is half Transformers filmed off of a television set and half a Mr. Belvadere marathon.

Can't say I have. ;)

This now has me wondering which movies I've seen has fewest IMDb ratings.


Ninja Busters (1984): 128
Andy Milligan's Nightbirds: 199
Andy Milligan's Blood (1973): 281
Ogroff: 284
Son of Dracula (1972, with Ringo Starr): 372
Rat Man (1988): 814


I'm sorry for those people who have seen Son of Dracula and Rat Man. The others have their worth and I actually do enjoy Ninja Busters.

School in the Woods, 2010
616 Paranormal Incident, 2013
Paranormal Asylum: The Revenge of Typhoid Mary, 2013
The Ouija Exorcism, 2015

I've seen at least 50 50's sci-fi films, and I reckon some of them haven't been seen by many people even here.

I don't think many people here would watch stuff like Barbie Starlight Adventure, so I'll throw it in, and I'll also throw in the Dora movie.


Edit: Oh, and statistically, I doubt many people here have also seen Zyzzyx Road.

Kudoes to all that has participated here, for I haven't heard of a single film in this thread.

Is this good, or bad?

From the movies Thief mentionned, you might want to watch Colossus: The Forbin Project. Absolute top shelf sci-fi. I don't think I've seen anything else. I'd have to double check with my watchlist.
