I'm sure I have a handful, here is one.

Re: Favorite Movies With Less Than 1,000 IMDB Ratings?
 

this is the best thread this year

Nice thread!

This one comes to mind:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5474522/?ref_=nv_sr_4

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...4,1000_AL_.jpg
IMDB users says: 6,9/10;
I say: 10/10. One of the best of the decade. Very simplistic indie movie that deals with the fade of the moral in modern society.

That's been on my Watchlist for a while - just haven't had luck finding it, and I don't have a credit card to buy it on YouTube..... I almost watched a different movie with Segal, "Where's Poppa?"

I seem to have 41 such entries rated but as we're talking about favorites I probably stop there.

Girlfriends (1978)

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/...2ODc@._V1_.jpg

I saw this because it was mentioned as a movie Kubrick liked.. Then it was a bonus that she played the runaway in my favorite movie, "Harry and Tonto"


I liked it.. Gave it a 7.5/10 I think.

I guess i watch a lot of relatively unknown arthouse movies, because i could keep on naming movies with less than 1000 ratings. Anyway here is a short selection of some avantgarde and arthouse movies definitely worth watching if you are serious about being a cinephile:

Are you referring to this?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2167430/


Before I clicked on it, it had the title of "Rolla"... Do you remember how you found this? I read the short description and it seems like something I'd give a try. Thanks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01gAdjBUXpw

There's a ton Terayama on youtube for whatever reason.

I did a quick search on IMDB and kept reading sub-categories with words such as "male nudity" "male frontal nudity" -- doesn't seem like something I'd watch, despite being 9 minutes long. Thanks anyway.


If you know any of his other movies on YouTube that I might like, I'd appreciate it.

Lmao, I think those tags are overselling it a bit but, as much as I love this piece, you're not missing anything earth shattering by passing on it.

I've sadly not gone through as much of his shorts as I'd liked to have but one of his most well-known features is up with english subs (Pastoral: To Die in the Country)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJyDF1mNtsU
It's a pretty great film from what I remember but its a bit esoteric.

If that's not your jam he also did this boxing movie that I haven't seen yet but looks pretty tight.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2TmwyC_E6o

Thanks, added to the "Watch Later"... If I have time tomorrow, I'll try to check it out. Appreciate it!

Roselyne and the Lions (1989) 6.1 rating.
455 votes on IMDB. Found it on Filmgrab, and it had some nice still pictures.
https://film-grab.com/2019/09/22/ros...and-the-lions/

Highball (1997)
674 ratings at a 5.9 on IMDb.

An early, and super low budget Noah Baumbach movie made with most of the cast of Mr. Jealousy. Obviously made in their off time, it’s a charming little movie that no one ever talks about. Very quotable (everybody Felix!), and quite funny. Sloppy editing, but easy to look past.

Re: Favorite Movies With Less Than 1,000 IMDB Ratings?
 

The easiest way for me to do this was to create a playlist in my media centre which sorted my ratings out for movies on IMDB that had less than 1000 votes. Pretty sure it didn't pick them all up, but here's a sample, it's not the best image quality but just about viewable:

https://s3.gifyu.com/images/under-1000.gif

Those Redheads from Seattle (1953)
IMDB ratings: 226

Seen this last night, a really fun and unique film. It was the first 3D western musical! Agnes Moorehead gets to star, the only time I've seen her play a leading role. And it's the only feature film of Teresa Brewer who belts out several awesome songs.

Here's the easiest way.


https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?t...y_ratings,desc

Yeah but that only brings up 3 films as I don't use IMDB to rate my films. Good feature though.

Re: Favorite Movies With Less Than 1,000 IMDB Ratings?
 

Term of Trial (1962)
Desire Me (1947)
The Great Moment (1944)
Verboten! (1959)

I guess Whispering Pages is the first on my list. I'm a bit surprised it has little fanfare given that it's the best movie I've seen from a pretty well regarded director, and the best emblem of his style of delirium.

That movie hits me on so many levels. Not to mention the overall look of it. You know how much of a sucker I am for films with that grainy, hazy, dream-like...look. There just aren't enough of them.

Re: Favorite Movies With Less Than 1,000 IMDB Ratings?
 

Off the top of my head (with quick cross-referencing to IMDb):


Frozen Scream
Runaway Nightmare
Skin Flicks
Corruption
Long Arm of the Law

Re: Favorite Movies With Less Than 1,000 IMDB Ratings?
 

Some good ones that I have watched recently and rated an 8/10 or higher:

I Wouldn't Be in Your Shoes (1948)
Strange Victory (1948)
Rhubarb (1951)
Black Tuesday (1954)
Blaze Starr Goes Nudist (1962)
Regrouping (1976)
Salt on the Skin (1985)
Hay alguien allí (2013)
Island of Lost Girls (2022)
Pumpkin Spiced Musical (2022)
The Slumber Party (2023)
The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed (2023)

Salt for Svanetia (1930)

Nr 10 in my all time list. Given 5* by Peter Bradshaw. 100% on RT.
Has 906 votes.

Voices Through Time (1996)
37 on my list and has 403 votes

The First Echelon (1956) 135 votes

Trust (and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves to Sleep at Night) (2017)

Not one of my top films, but it's charming. Sort of a modern take on 'disaffected teen' movies (Slacker, Dazed and Confused, etc).

It currently has 15 ratings. I gave it an 8/10.

Another good one is Fire Tripper (1985). It's got 192 ratings.

It's a direct to video anime by Rumiko Takahashi, of Ranma 1/2 and Inu Yasha fame. For the unfamiliar, they're fantasy action comedies, with a lot of misunderstandings, and girls slapping men for being perverts.

Fire Tripper was more serious than her usual faire, and I enjoyed it. It's a time travel romance with some action thrown in. Another 8 out of 10.

Or Hallucinations. It's only got about a hundred

Re: Favorite Movies With Less Than 1,000 IMDB Ratings?
 

It has 4,500 ratings on IDMB, but Varda's La Pointe Courte (arguably the start of the French New Wave movement) doesn't have a critics' rating on RT, having only 4 critics' reviews.
