obscure MUST SEE movies

Torrente el brazo tonto de la lei part 1 ,2 and 3

[Losing all]

Yes, I like most of Mamet's work. I only saw spartan a couple months ago and I had already forgotten this was one of his. The only things I remember about the movie: The acting was bad, really bad. I like Kilmer, but not in spartan. The plot sucked, I hated it. I kinda recall a very lame action scene?

I seriously hate this movie more now that I know it's a Mamet. Compare spartan to Spanish prisoner and try not to vomit.

a documentary on the failed attempt of don Quixote by terry guilliam. awesome cause you can see terry guilliam working with the eyes of a little child and composing an awesome movive with a great casting, and pretty frustrating at the same time since the movie is dead.
Was pretty obscure in france.

Should Tom make like his thuggish father or pursue his forgotten dream of becoming a pianist like was his mother?
the title itself is a good reason to look for that movie, everything is great in that movie.


Many people mentioned the city of the lost children, which is a great film but Delicatessen is even better, less international but if i had to pick one of those 2 delicatessen would definitly be the cult one, many scene are really awesome : the concerto on the roof with the clown playing music with a saw, and the one with the butcher rythming the whole building life with the sound of his spring mattress while screwing his wife will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.
Anyone who liked amelie and/or alien 4 gotta watch both anyway.

^ I'll second that. Delicatessen is great and hilarious.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars

I highly recommend Beau Travail. Hard to describe film, but beautifully shot and compelling despite having very little dialogue and a sparse plot.

"Sexy Beast" with Ben Kingsley - great flick.

"Mulholland Falls" with Jennifer Connelly - bad movie, but it's from 1996 (pre-boobjob) and there's one scene she's bent over nude getting it from Nick Nolte.

one I haven't seen anyone mention so far is

Amores Perros

A huge second here. Similar style but better than Pulp Fiction.

I added another ten movies to my Netflix Q before I realized this is an old thread I already took part in.

While I'm here I'll add What's Eating Gilbert Grape with Leanardo Dicaprio, Johnny Depp, & Juliette Lewis.

Also The Piano Teacher which shouldn't be confused with "The Piano" or the 2002 version of "The Pianist". Darkly excellent but you may want to kill me for suggesting it.
