Robin and Marian
Cannery Row
The Life of David Gale
Being There
The Prestige

There are others, of course, that I also cherish, but they are much more well known.

Cool Hand Luke ??? How is that an unknown? That's a CLASSIC.

Just came across another "somewhat" hidden gem last nite, Glen Gary Glen Ross. Excellent cast, always been an Ed Harris fan, with a classic Baldwin pep talk scene. The entire movie is shot in only 3 or 4 different places and just seems to touch a nerve about the working man and being under the gun. Give it a chance if you can !

I'm not into the old B&W movies or foreign films. My go-to timeframe is the late 90's/early 2000's. Here's 10 of my favorites from then that I consider somewhat obscure:

1. Grosse Pointe Blank
2. Zero Effect
3. Falling Down
4. Mumford
5. Permanent Midnight
6. Bulworth
7. Go
8. Stigmata
9. The Thirteenth Floor
10. Standing in the Shadows of Motown

True - but I'd bet a lot of you youngsters never saw it.

Well we sure did. Our dad had us watch that when we were young(er). I to this day still watch it every once in a while

Stigmata is a great movie! Forgot I lent that to someone?

Another movie I just watched the other night, which I forgot about, was Stir of Echos. Seen that years ago and forgot how good it was.
