Ok, I figured I was fairly up on recent films but recently Ive stumbled across two excellent films Id not heard of before. These were:
Boondock Saints (1999)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144117/
Two Irish brothers accidentally killed mafia thugs, turn themselves in and are released as heroes. They then see it as a calling by God and started killing the evildoers of the world. Willem Dafoe plays an eccentric detective trying to figure out the killings, but as he works on the case he is forced to ask if killing the worst members of society is really a bad thing.
Constantine (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360486/
Constantine is an exorcist who has been to Hell and back, and whose soul is sentenced to hell. He has been deporting demons to get on good terms with God, yet God wants self-sacrifice. After the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, detective Angela Dodson goes out in search of the truth. Together, Constantine and Angela battle the demons on Earth.
Im basically looking for some other recommendations for obscure yet excellent films. If you havent seen the above (especially Boondock Saints) then go watch them. You could search for "boondock saints installment" on youtube and you might just find a low res version ;)
Im not looking for films like se7en, american psycho, etc which are well known underground movies but instead stuff youre more than likely to have missed. Boondock for example was only released in 5 cinemas in the US and not shown globally as its release coincided with the Columbine shootings. Blockbuster then took it straight to video where its become a cult favourite.
Constantine (2005) is a exellent film, I ripped it to DivX, when I first got it.
Ill watch Boondock Saints.
Lord Of War (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399295/
Is Lord of War any good?
I thought about going to watch it when it first came out but never did then I was going to get it on DVD but never did bother, am I missing a good film?
how are they hardly known?!
Constantine was a cinema hit. Boondock saints is a famous as the big labowski. :D lol.
Lord of war is also a cinema hit here. Nicholas Cage in it, yeah its alright, not fantastic but alright :)
Quote from: M3ta7h3adhow are they hardly known?!
Constantine was a cinema hit. Boondock saints is a famous as the big labowski. :D lol.
If you dont see the difference between boondock and films that had big ratings at the cinema then Im not sure what else to say...
Hopefully most of the other readers of the forums will understand.
Go ask 10 people if theyve heard of the Boondock saints and I bet most havent seen of it. The Big Lebowski wouldnt be a terrible suggestion for this thread actually in much the same way as Clockwork Orange, Fear and Loathing, etc would work. Personally, Id say those are a little too successful/well-known but theyre on the right lines of what Im looking for.
While you may indeed be a guru of films, I suspect a lot of people on here dont tend to hear about films that didnt get released at the cinema or have big studio/advertisement backing. I dont believe describing the ones above as hardly known is an unfair statement tbh.
Off the top of my head - more general known ones would be:
* Battle Royale
* The Cube
* Taxi
* The Prestige (that probably is too well known)
This isnt a challenge to find the most obscure film in the universe. Its to suggest slightly unusual alternatives for people to check out. :)
Google these films, they are all good & obscure.
"Equilibrum"
Post civilization-fall police state controlled by special officers who are highly trained martial arts weapons skills.
"Battle beyond the stars"
Peacful colony under threat from pirates, sends their best son to recruit mercenary heros. Cheesy but classsic imho
"Bullet proof monk"
I thought we were posting little known films?
Rashoman is good.
Milwakee Minnasota.
Dark City was really good http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118929/
Slackers was pretty cheesy but it made me laugh http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240900/
I thought this thread was for Hardly Known films :shock:
Goodbye Lenin
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301357/
The film is set in the East Berlin of 1989 . Alexander Kerners mother, Christiane Kerner, an ardent supporter of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, suffers a heart attack when she sees Alex being arrested in an anti-government demonstration and falls into a coma shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall. After eight months she awakes, but is severely weakened both physically and mentally, and doctors say that any shock may cause another, possibly fatal, attack. Alex realises that her discovery of recent events would be too much for her to bear, and so sets out to maintain the illusion that things are as normal in the German Democratic Republic. To this end, he and his family revert the flat to its previous drab decor, dress in their old clothes, and feed the bed-ridden Christiane new, Western produce from old labeled jars. For a time the deception works, but gradually becomes increasingly complicated and elaborate.
Baise Moi.
La Haine.
Jobs a good un.
Quote from: SteveFHopefully most of the other readers of the forums will understand.

Ill agree about Boondock Saints I think that classes as an unusual film but Constantine? It was a huge film and a commercial one too. Nominated for 4 awards, even won one. A quick google (you cant hold it against me Im being honest yes I used it lol!) suggests it took $230m worldwide. I mean come on its got Keanu Reeves in it it was never going to be an unknown was it? :D
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360486/businessThe Big Lebowski really needs to be watched by the whole world though - fantastic film! "Shut the f*ck up Donny your way out of your element"
Quote from: RivkidQuote from: SteveFThe Big Lebowski really needs to be watched by the whole world though - fantastic film! "Shut the f*ck up Donny your way out of your element"
Every film by the Cohen Brothers should be watched by the whole world imo, TBL as you say, Fargo, Hudsucker Proxy, etc.
went on a cohen brothers spree a while back - Raising Arizona is still one of the best IMO.
Quote from: SmugsIs Lord of War any good?
I thought about going to watch it when it first came out but never did then I was going to get it on DVD but never did bother, am I missing a good film?
Yes. It was one of the those films I kept meaning to see and finally got around to it and wondered why I didnt see it before.
Other films I enjoyed.
The Ladykillers (2004)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335245/Hero (2002)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299977/(This will either bore you to death or amaze you)
Keeping Mum (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0444653/
Theres a whole world of Asian films that are lesser known that you should watch, Hard Boiled (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104684/) is a classic, along with A Better Tomorrow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092263/), both by Woo.
Ive seen a few of the older asian movies, inclusing some rediculous slapstick I keep forgetting the name of. Ah I remember....
Kung Pow: Enter The Fist (2002)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240468/
Some of the older ones do really bore me though, ones like Jet Li, The Enforcer.
Lord of war is a Fantastic film, its true.
I was and am lucky in the Film department, years ago my last job was working from home and my Local private Video shop had a excellent daily
offer going, 3 films £1 before 6pm, I was a daily customer, I got to know everybody, even the owners, they drop films off for me now, so over years I watched every film, now days my health severely limits me, so I watch films, I watched 3 yesterday, 1 new and the transporter films again, I love Jason Statham, Ill watch Snatch again today and LS.
Hmm while some of these may not be hardly known (some are just outright classics) they may have been fogotten...well at least by Steve ;)

Ive never understood Very Bad Things low rating, I think its one of the best black comedies out there, so Id suggest screw the rating and watch it because I loved it.
See what you think of those... Ive focused on Drame, Crime, Sci Fi, Black Comedies, but if you like those then Ill recommend some others out the 500 remain I have ;)
Some good films there Kunal.
If no one has seen it yet, I suggest, Hannibal Rising.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367959/

Seems others in here are of the opinion that people are giving quite common film names. Was just an observation after all.
If The Cube interests you, then check out: The Cube 2: Hypercube.
Shooting Fish... or is that too well known?
To be politically correct Ill bomb the Forums with another thread, titled

When the get out, they decide to pull off "The Big Dirty" which is to steal a large amount of coins because they are untraceable and quit their life of crime forever.
Hotel Rwanda (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395169/)
A true story of a man who fought impossible odds to save everyone he could and created a place where hope survived.

In my opinion, the best film in this list by quite a margin is My Sassy Girl.
I watched Lady in the Water this week, I normally like M.Nights work but I found it a self infatuated film on his part. He films his own kids book and he is "the one". Add me to the I didnt like it list.

The film is set in the East Berlin of 1989 .

seconded, brilliant story, sad yet hilarious at the same time.
Little Miss Sunshine didnt get the screenings i thought it would, another great movie to see, Steve Carell is hilarious :D
Reign Over Me anyone?
Ive not seen it being mentioned much, definitly worth a watch with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle.
Zwartboek (Black Book) is another one to watch, a brilliant story of the Dutch underground resistance during WW2 and a story of betrayal, loyalty and love.
Soldaat van Oranje (Soldier Of Orange) is along the same lines, another must see :)
The science of Sleep. Fantastic film by the man who directed Eternal Sunshine
Big Fish
This Is England
Kids
Quote from: SwissToniReign Over Me anyone?
Ive not seen it being mentioned much, definitly worth a watch with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle.
Thats not out legally yet.
Sandler should stick to more proper acting.. which leads me onto my next recommendation....
Punch-Drunk Love
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272338/Barry Egan (Sandler) owns a company that markets themed toilet plungers ("fungers") and other novelty items. He has seven overbearing sisters who ridicule him regularly, and leads a very lonely life punctuated by fits of rage. In the span of one morning, he witnesses a bizarre car accident, picks up an abandoned harmonium from the street, and encounters Lena Leonard (Watson), who he later learns orchestrated the meeting after seeing him in a family picture belonging to his sister Elizabeth (Mary Lynn Rajskub), a co-worker of Lenas.
we really should set up a private film network or something. Flash videos and tubes (http://www.tubesnow.com/) perhaps.
Obviously this would only be for sharing content we own and not sharing films ;)

"Equilibrum"
Post civilization-fall police state controlled by special officers who are highly trained martial arts weapons skills.
One of my favourite films that, seemed like it should have been longer though. I liked it for the religious themes more than anything.
*Edit - The missus says Quills is a good film, very dark etc etc.
Oh dear my poor net connection will be suffering for weeks because of this thread. ;)
