Fantastic movie. Absolutely fantastic. Hadn't thought about this one in a while. Should rewatch it; have only seen once but was blown away.

I wonder how many of the old classic movies have been seen like M and Double Indemnity etc.

The Duellists springs to mind (Ridley Scott debut)
ETA: Runaway Train seconded
Layer Cake (if that's too main stream then Get Carter - the original)
ETA2: If Get Carter is too well known perhaps Festen ("The Celebration") might suffice even if it did win the Cannes

Very good question. I know i need to get better at watching more classics.
I always try to get people to watch Kubrick's The Killing.

Good question. I don't think many people my age have seen them, but my dad is a film buff and made sure I saw the classics. My favorites are North by Northwest, The 3rd Man, Sunset Blvd and The Apartment.

I'm in my mid 40s- and same... my folks would take me to see classics in the theaters (often times in college theaters) when they were shown. Bergman & Kurosawa were go-to's for them. Caught a lot of noir on my own... The 3rd Man is a top 5er for me.

People might not know the movie, but they've surely heard the hit song "Pop Music."
Don Quixote

I went through a Weimar film phase... M, Metropolis, The Last Laugh, Nosferatu, Pandora's Box, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Faust. I'm sure there are others I'm leaving out. I own a few of them, but I need to go back and rewatch.
Haven't read through the thread, but my entry is 1971's A New Leaf - with Elaine May / Walter Mathau; he plays a rich guy who has spent all his money. Finally came out on DVD a couple of years ago and it is hilarious. Apparently it's been under the radar for so long due to May's disagreement with the studio's handling of the final cut; she wrote and directed.

The Celebration was the Danish movie, right? I remember seeing it and thinking it was great, but can't remember many details about it now.
Sounds interesting.

Nosferatu is terrific. Aside from M, Metropolis and Faust (which I could never get into), I haven't seen the others, but I think they just made my list.

I was also thinking Hopscotch.
never seen or heard of New Leaf.... good info and will
for future watch. Mathau was great- and that was in his prime
Don Quixote
Footballguy
Caligari is my favorite silent. Definitely worth a watch if you like silents. The set design is peak German expressionism.
The cinematography in The Last Laugh was ahead of its time (the first tracking shot in cinema).

wasn't Celebration the first of the *official* Dogma movies?The Celebration was the Danish movie, right? I remember seeing it and thinking it was great, but can't remember many details about it now.
Sounds interesting.
I remember being kinda underwhelmed by it, even if the idea of Dogma was interesting to me.

Here are some flicks I seem to love that no one seems to have ever seen in my circle of friends.
1. Once Upon A Time In The West - IMO Serge Leone's true western epic masterpiece. Charles Bronson was great, but Henry Fonda played the biggest SOB that ever picked up a six shooter. It was a brilliant casting decision. Each character had their own little theme song...the opening credits and scene was a super slow burn and pure western bliss.
2. Battle Beyond The Stars - In a time of Star Wars knock off's this Sci-Fi flicks take on the Seven Samurai was a cool little movie that has a huge cult following.
3. The Groove Tube - If you have ever seen this....Cramps Vegitable Shortening, The Dealers and Koko The Clown. Nuff said.

I completely missed that one.... here's stuff from Wiki:
Similar, but smaller budget- Darkstar (which I've just discovered was by John Carpenter), kind of a low-key humorous mashup of 2001 and Dr Strangelove, IIRC.

Not a very good movie but it does feature the first motion picture score of James Horner - he of scores for films like Glory, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Titanic, etc.
In it you can hear most of the major motifs that he used in some way or another for the entirety of his career.

this is like a behind the camera version of a movie with people before they were famous. Sayles, Cameron, Horner...Not a very good movie but it does feature the first motion picture score of James Horner - he of scores for films like Glory, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Titanic, etc.

"M" is a great silent film.
I said before that Double Indemnity is a better film noir film than Maltese Falcon.

Rated R back in the day. Has nudity, drug and sexual themes.
Super low budget and Chevy Chase's very first movie (he does not say a word).

Indeed. Although, much as I in general revere Raymond Chandler, Hammett's book is better

Ah yes. It's coming back to me. Great choice. I'm surprised Floppy didn't like it.
Great choice by the person mentioning Once Upon a Time in the West, too.

This thread reminds me a little of those FF threads where people talk about sleepers and then someone jumps up and says that Player X would have obviously been drafted, or drafted by the 5th round or something.People have not seen 'Once upon a Time in the West'???
I will say that OUATITW is probably the only movie I have ever liked Henry Fonda in, really, really liked his performance. I think he was naturally a mean guy. Actually I also like him in My Darling Clementine for that reason, though Hollywood hadn't quite graduated to that level of realism that Leone would later give us.

I'm still getting over the fact that there are people here who haven't had falafel. This seems tame in comparison.People have not seen 'Once upon a Time in the West'???
