+1 - terrific cops'n robbers movie.I've mentioned this before in these threads -
The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer
- Peter Cook acting out his fantasy of manipulating your way to leading the UK. Very dated, but so prescient. Also a fab scene of a Jensen Interceptor sweeping up Downing Street and our hero parking outside No10.
Sightseers is another offbeat UK comedy. Quite dark.
young guns - total classic
The Sure Thing - Cusaack and quotable lines...
Excessive Force - Thomas Ian Griffith "was" due to be the next big action star but for some reason it didn't work for him
Special Forces - subtitled but brilliant desert rescue film diane Kruger, Djimon hunsou - the recent film with Mark Whalberg - Lone survivor also very good but a similar premise without the kidnapping.
Shogun Assassin - no-one I know has seen this film - total class.
strange days - terrific little fillem
The firm - "YETI!!!!"

Little remembered, fantastic story and a cast like an Oscars night.
Favourite line? Repeatedly... "My voice is my passport. Verify me."
Best moment? Deliberating how to best to get through a keypad protected door.

The Super - comedy with Joe Pesci as a slum lord sentenced to live in his own building. Some great comic moments.
Another Pesci film that went under the radar was 'The Public Eye' - brilliant film noir set in the 1940s with Pesci playing free-lance photographer Leon Bernstein. Definitely worth a watch for fans of the genre.

Strange Days, came across it a few years after it came out - straight into my Top 10.
Oh yes, great film. Has anyone seen an Australian film called Bad Eggs? I saw it on TV when I was over there and found it hilarious, but almost nobody else seems to have heard of it and I can't find it anywhere. Very low budget and very silly. It's a bit like a Super Troopers style spoof of cop shows.

Somewhere in the loft I have:
Run Lola Run (1998) which is a great German film showing three different versions of the same incident. I need to re-watch it.
I also have:
Dog Soldiers (2002) which is a fantastic British werewolf movie with Sean Pertwee and a few other faces you'll recognise "from somewhere."

Jean de Florette and Manon de Source. Both excellent.
Brilliant shout.Considering they aren't comedies, the scene in Manon de Source in the town hall when the geology expert from the water board comes to meet the residents to discuss the sudden loss of water is one of the funniest things I've ever watched.
Has anyone mentioned Cinema Paradiso?

(Not seen Cinema Paradiso, sorry!)
Here's one I can pretty much guarantee no one else has seen.
manta manta.
A late eighties / early nineties German film about Opel mantas. I owned an Opel manta GTE at the time and found the film on RTL completely by chance whilst channel surfing.
Without subtitles it was difficult to make out a lot of the plot, but the main drive seemed to be installing a red top into a manta with a massive body kit. There was lots of street racing action too.
You could say it was like the fast and the furious, only with no budget, and Opel mantas, and better acting.
some very quotable lines too. For years afterwards if anything went wrong the remark "ach nien mien manta!" Was used.
