Good films few people have seen

Deep End (1970)

 

Tale of obsessive love based around a London swimming baths. Notable for a young Jane Asher in the buff and a great sequence around Soho to a Can backing track.

[Guest MMMMMM]

Restless Natives

 

Two scottish lads on a motorbike holding up tourists (in Edinburugh?) with a gun from a joke shop. No outstanding plot/funny lines/soft porn bits but I used to watch over and over as a kid...

Once Upon A Time In the West - Henry Fonda plays the bad guy and Charles Bronson the harmonica.

Southern Comfort

Once Upon A Time In the West - Henry Fonda plays the bad guy and Charles Bronson the harmonica.

 

that movie is just perfection in its true form. Leones ultimate masterpiece

 

"Fresh" is also a great film

 

Sam L Jackson co-stars, basically it's about a little kid selling drugs in Harlem NY. Can't believe it's as unknown as it is

La Haine

 

french b&w stylish as fuck very very cool film

[Dermot 1]

Cube, a low budget sci-fi flick, there are a sequel and prequel to it that are quite good, but the original is the best.

pi very mad film about 3.142

[Vincent Vega 5,452]

The Wicker Man made by The Hammer House Of Horror team and starring Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee at his very best. A very influencial film for The League Of Gentlemen, with many lines from the film familiar to episodes from the show.

 

Available from Play.com for £7.99 and worth every penny:

That was a superb film as well, and the theme tune by Big Country was superb.

Rockers - a rasta version of Robin Hood - hadn't seen it for years and bought the DVD the other day - cracking soundtrack and spot the 80's reggae legends doing walk on/smoke on cameos.

Orphans,

 

A very dark comedy based in Glasgow.

Not sure if few people have seen them but here are a few foreign films which are well worth a watch.

 

"Intacto" - Anglo/Spanish film about using your luck to compete in mad games and trade your luck for even more luck.

 

"Symapthy For Mr Revenge" - Korean film (I think!)- brutal, but gripping

 

"Old Boy" - by same director of above "Sympathy for.." a guy is kidnapped and held captive for 15 years. Gets out and seeks answers and revenge on his captors.

 

"Motorcycle Diaries" - think this one is quite well known, but worth a mention because of how good it is. Follow a young Che Guevra around South America.

[chorlton 5]

Symapthy For Mr Vengence i thought?

 

Oldboy is awsome.

 

Haute Tension or switchblade romance as its known here is good. A very well made slasher movie basically.

 

As for unseen classics, i'd nominate State of Grace.

[Rex 0]

If you liked "Old boy" see "Sympathy for Mr Revenge" - I promise you won't be disappointed. Same director as "Oldboy" - gotta warn you though some horrible shit goes on

[chorlton 5]

Are you sure its not called sympathy for Mr Vengence?

That is an ace film, there are rumours that they are remaking it.

[chorlton 5]

no rumours, they are, pissing nicholas cage and a cult which is entirly women, its gonna be awful.

 

Hills have eyes remake however is buy the fellow who did haute tension.

[BatChainPuller 90]

A Sense of History - short film directed by Mike Leigh. Its written and acted by Jim Broadbent. Might be the funniest thing I've ever seen. I've got it on an old vid but I think you can see a streaming version here:

A Sense of History

 

A total gem. If you haven't seen it you can thank me later.

[Vincent Vega 5,452]

It can't be remade. It's whole appeal is the Hammer House Of Horror done on the cheap. And there's not an actor in the world who could play Lord Summerisle the way Christopher Lee did.

[chorlton 5]

what about an actress?

[aws 7,984]

Barbara Windsor would bring a new angle to the role.
