10 movies i love that you've ( probably) never heard of

[clydepepper]

I tried to get it down to only 10 movies I thought were mostly unknown, but could not get lower than eighteen...all of which I love and highly recommend.

Leon: The Professional
Prince of the City
The Lost Battalion
Zulu Dawn
Reign of Fire
Ravenous
Dead Man
Tom Horn
Zelig
Bingo Long and the Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings
61*
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Robin and Marian
Cannery Row
The Life of David Gale
Being There
The Prestige
Cool Hand Luke






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

In no Particular order.

1. The Last Detail (underrated Jack Nicholson Movie.

2. In Harms way (John Wayne)

3. The Enemy Below (Robert Mitchum)

4. Corvette K-225 (Randolph Scott)

5. They were Expendable (Another John Wayne)

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.
