Hmm, I'd like to post something on here but I think it would not be worthwhile. For me to post a "forgotten classic" then I would need to think of something that nobody on here has seen, otherwise I will be berated.
Nope, I'm going through the most obsure things I can think of. Holden Pike has seen everything and likes people to know it. I had gotten a better impression of you from other threads Holden, in this one you come across as quite rude.
**edit**
I'll add a couple anyway, I'm sure not everyone has seen them:
"Duck, You Sucker" (Sergio Leone, 1971) - aka "A Fistful of Dynamite" and "Once Upon a Time...The Revolution". While it may be a Leone film, it is certainly his least well known. Most people think of the "Dollars" trilogy, "Once Upon a Time in the West" or "Once Upon a Time in America" when they think of Leone movies but I think this is excellent too. I can watch pretty much anything with James Coburn in, here he plays an IRA terrorist on the run in New Mexico who teams up with a mexican bandit (Rod Steiger) and start robbing banks together. Like most Leone films, it gets better with each viewing.
"Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia" (Sam Peckinpah, 1974) - Warren Oates is outstanding in this film, possibly my favourite Peckinpah movie. The way he seems to descend into madness after his girlfriend has been killed and he talks to the dismembered head in a bag on his passenger seat is amusing but kind of sick at the same time. It stars off slowly like most Peckinpah films and descends into a complete bloodbath of action in the final third of the film. Most of the people I speak to have never heard of this film but love it after I have sat them down to watch it. Peckinpah said it was the only film he made where he had complete creative control to do what he wanted to do. In my top 10 movies of all time.
Also thought about putting in "The Conversation" - Coppola's most overlooked film, Gene Hackman is typically brilliant. Has he actually aged in the last thirty years? He still looks just like Popeye Doyle today.
