Re: obscure MUST SEE movies
Oh I forgot:
Documentary team follows serial killer who slowly involves them in his "jobs" I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has figured out "Mulholland Drive" it's just...strange |

Re: obscure MUST SEE movies
What do you get when you cross The Conversation with Memento?
You get a twisted controversial film from 1980 called BAD TIMING, directed by Nicholas Roeg, starring Art Garfunkle, Theresa Russell, and Harvey Kietel (steals every scene he's in obv.) As the story unwinds, you're never sure if you're watching a love story, a murder mystery, or something else entirely, but in the end it all comes together in a sort of inevitable conclusion that you never saw coming. It's a great example of a director and screenwriter using every tool of the craft to tell a story, without just relying on dialogue. |

Art Garfunkel? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, he was in Carnal Knowledge too, which would also qualify in this thread. |

Re: obscure MUST SEE movies
How come nobody's bumped this since my last post?
Werckmeister Harmonies Very profound, slow-moving Hungarian art film. Gorgeous black and white photography and maybe my favorite scene ever in a film. Definitely not for everybody as it is very weird and the scenes are mostly done in one shot, rather than the typical edits. |

Re: obscure MUST SEE movies
I'm always surprised when I mention Paths of Glory and no one seems to have seen or heard of it. A 1957 Kubrick anti-war movie starring Kirk Douglas as a Colonel in WWI whose troops are in an impossible situation.

[ QUOTE ] This thread is murdering the definition of obscure. [/ QUOTE ] Funny, though perhaps I'm among the most guilty. [ QUOTE ] Val Kilmer's late career renaissance has been completely ignored, but each of The Salton Sea, Wonderland, and Spartan are easily worth a Netflixing. [/ QUOTE ] The Salton Sea is terrific. Besides Kilmer most of you would enjoy Vincent D'Onofrio playing a deranged dope dealer in perhaps his best performance playing someone deranged since his role as Gomer Pyle in "Full Metal Jacket". Spartan got decent reviews on Rotten Tomatoes but Wonderland for the most part got trashed. But the way it was trashed makes me really want to see it. Some examples: "More than a film flirting with unwatchable, the music video sexiness of Wonderland is dangerous." "...real bottom of the barrel stuff, a scummy story about scummy people" "Along with their tickets to Wonderland moviegoers should also be given a moist towelette. That way after the film they won't have to stand in line at the restroom to wash off the slime." Netflix was made for movies like this.
