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

But JFK is only there after the CIA dyed him black

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.

The Keep

I've got that on VHS somewhere. Must dig it out. Superb Tangerine Dream soundtrack.
It ought to be released on DVD as a "Directors Cut". The original was 210 minutes long but was cut to 120 then to 96 by Paramount. It leaves the film with plot holes and an altogether wrong ending.

I'll add...

[easytiger123]

Owning Mahowny (based on a true story)
The Believer (very early Ryan Gosling, also based on a true story)
Frailty
Happiness
Hard Eight
Heartbreak Kid (the original version with Charles Grodin)
Nil by Mouth
The Man who knew too little
Love and Death on Long Island

Cell 211, spanish prison film, very tense even though you knew it would end well.

Agree, great film.

I've always found "The Quest for Fire" to be interesting, especially as there isn't a single word said in the whole film

Buckaroo Banzai!

Last Train To Freo.

Caught this one insomniac night and thought it was excellent, filmed in real time all in a train carriage.

Will search out some of the other suggestions in this thread, these acclaimed well kept secrets are often the best.

The Gods Must Be Crazy.

A terrific, little South African film from the early 70s.

Fantastic isn't it.

As a teenager I loved Kung Pow: Enter The Fist, but I'm not sure if I'd still find it as funny now.

Rubber.


I like the stuff that's released by Magnet, like Rubber. Some others mentioned already, some not. Troll Hunter, Tucker & Dale vs Evil, God Bless America. A few I haven't seen too (yet) like In Order Of Disappearance, Hobo With A Shotgun... http://www.listal.com/list/magnet-films-complete-l...

I was going to put Primer as when I first posted about I couldn't find any mention of it on here, but since more or less everyone else has mentioned it. I will say.

Quite possibly the best killer tyre (called Robert) movie I've ever seen!

The Bothersome Man
Incendies
22 Shots of Rum
Hidden
Rampage

All foreign, all very good.

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

Moviedrome on BBC2, presented by Alex Cox, he was a bit weird but, in my view utterly absorbing and his insights were usually very good.

Unfortunately I don't think it was Moviedrome which introduced me to Akira (mentioned above), wife was working Christmas nights around 1989/90 and I had the schedule to myself and I picked it out of the Radio Times late night viewing as possibly worth watching - it was!
