Three Seasons

Hedwig and the Angry Inch

World's Fastest Indian

I think a lot of us on here have seen it.

 

[jwb]

Have not seen your third choice. I like the other two (although yes, they aren't things most people would have seen.)

Mine would be:

1. Carnival of Souls (1962)

2. The Virgin Spring

3. Cure (one of the better Japanese horror movies that hasn't been remade... yet)

I'm sure many here have seen some (or all) of these - but they aren't very mainstream.

spank the monkey - IFC classic

Paths to Glory

But I Am A Cheerleader

The Others

 

[Morton Muffley]

mine are all well-known, but older and not as often seen as I think they should be:

Barry Lyndon - one of Kubrick's best and least appreciated

The General - Buster Keaton classic that everyone should see, but few modern audiences have

Sweet Smell of Success - Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis in a alternate take on film noir

 

[Timmay]

[Joe_Mama]

The Lighthorsemen: (Great Aussie WWI flick--that charge on horseback--notice I didn't say "cavalry"--is magnificent.)

Lagaan: This isn't just your routine Bollywood period piece. It's a great movie of historical fiction--kind of the Rocky of cricket. Make sure that you're willing to read subtitles.

The Band's Visit: What happens when an Egyptian band is stranded in a Jewish settlement for awhile. Some poignant and funny stuff here. Oh, yeah...more subtitles.

Did you want to comment on the movies, or did you really take the thread title literally?

Seriously? That move is a cult favorite.

I think a lot of us on here have seen it.

I'm sure a lot of you have, but it wasn't a widely released movie. Never came to my town.

spank the monkey - IFC classic

Soundtrack is all Morphine

Sweet Smell of Success - Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis in a alternate take on film noir

agreed - love this movie.Lots of really good silent films go unseen. Nosferatu, Metropolis, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, tons of Keaton's and Chaplin's stuff (just to scratch the surface.)

 

[Nick Vermeil]

1. Cold Fever

2. And God Spoke

3. The Shooting

 

[Al Czervik]

Most movies I've seen are pretty mainstream.

However, here is a good independent film staring the late David Carradine: Permanent Vacation.

 

[Hellfire Snail]

Freak Talks About Sex. One of Josh Hamilton's finest performances.

True, but IFC ran it for quite a while.

Which proves my point -- it's an indie.

I liked but didn't love Dreamlife of Angels. We've talked about Heaven before--oooo, maybe I should take Blanchett or Ribisi as Mr./Ms. Irrelevant in the GWD.I'm really happy to see someone else who saw and loved Yi-Yi.

Ichi the Killer is very similar but, if you can believe it, more violent and shocking. Like I said, they're both great movies. I know Oldboy has been discussed a lot on this forum.

Hangin' With Mr. Cooper: The Movie

 

[Postradamus]

Wit - based on the play by Margaret Edson starring Emma Thompson, it's a heart-wrenching story about cancer.

Smoke Signals - Sherman Alexie is one of my favorite authors, definitely my favorite Native American writer and this film does his stories justice for the most part

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum - a funny reworking of some of Plautus' classic comedies starring Zero Mostel

I made it about a half hour in and couldn't stand it anymore. And not because it was wrenching my heart.
