Good films you have seen that nobody else has...

The Lives of Others.

Now on Netflix I think and well worth a watch.

Have you seen 'The Dish'?

Malcolm?

[Brigand]

I Come With The Rain - Bit of an arty private investigator movie set in Hong Kong, so lots of cityscape shots and neon lighting. Oh, and a fair bit of Radiohead music as well.

"Mad Dogs and Englishmen". Saw it on TV ages ago. Didn't get the best reviews but I was gripped. The twist at the end properly knocked me for six. No one else I know has heard of it.

There was a quotable line in it that made me laugh , something along the line of " I normally charge 200 but I'd kill you for free " or something like that , correct me if I'm wrong .

'Age of Consent' is a seldom broadcast romantic film with a young Helen Mirren. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Consent_(fi...

I would suggest:
Primer

I would suggest Primer too. Watched it. Watched it again. Waded through various online explanations only to get more confused.
It reminds me of this remark made by the devil in reference to Fermat's Last Theorem...


"Do you know,” he confided, “not even the best mathematicians on other planets-all far ahead of yours-have solved it? Why, there’s a chap on Saturn-he looks something like a mushroom on stilts-who solves partial differential equations mentally; and even he’s given up.”

It's still a remarkable film made on a microscopic budget and worth a viewing.

I would also suggest "Death Note"

I'm a big fan of this bloke http://sensesofcinema.com/2009/great-directors/aki... one of my favourites is



I love everything about this film, the beautiful monochrome cinematography, the utterly deadpan humour, the obligatory rock and roll band (there's generally one somewhere in every film he makes, whether the plot demands it or not) and the morbidly sullen characters that somehow you can't help but warm to as the story unfolds.

I used to love watching those quirky films on C4/BBC2 usually introduced by Kermode or that other film weirdie.

A lot of great indie sci-fi out there.


The Keep
A Boy and his Dog
Laputa: Castle in the Sky

I have the Arrow BR release of Night of the Comet!

I would buy The Keep if it were available..

Another odd one is a 1986 B-Movie homage, Night of the Creeps, which I ordered on BR from the US, as it's still not available as a UK release!

Must be my circle of friends but...

Two-lane Blacktop

I've seen that, but other car-interested mates have never heard of it.

"King of the Mountain" is one, about the LA street racing scene.

Absolutely. It's about as far away from a Hollywood film as you can imagine and all the better for it.

Bubba HoTep

'Elvis and JFK, both alive and in nursing homes, fight for the souls of their fellow residents as they battle an ancient Egyptian Mummy'.

Great film but it's not everyone is it or am I thinking of a different film? Particularly liked the ending.

You're thinking of the right one but was trying to avoid giving too much away...

[blearyeyedboy]

Sneakers.

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.
