Rec - the original spanish version.
basically a voodoo zombie outbreak in an apartment building, where the inhabitants, tv presenter and cameraman, a policeman and a fire fighter run around trying to get out cos the governments blocked them in.
doesnt end happy 
Memento is great. Anyone seen In Bruges?
The more I think about it, the more I think “Fuck me that movie’s good”.

In Bruges is a good pick! I’ve been meaning to watch that one again.
Layer Cake is a another good one that comes to mind.
Bottle Rocket is good too.
Bubba Ho-Tep -
Bruce Campbell plays Elvis Presley: in the movie, Elvis got tired of fame and allowed a double to take his place. It was actually the double that infamously died on the crapper…
Ossie Davis plays a black guy confined to a wheelchair who claims to be JFK: he says that the FBI changed his appearance as part of a huge conspiracy theory.
Anyway, Elvis and JFK team up to battle an ancient Egyptian mummy who is stealing the souls of the residents of a retirement home, where they both live.
What’s not to love?
Oh - did I mention that the mummy has a penchant for Stetsons and cowboy boots? If you like quirky movies, they don’t come much quirkier than this.
All based on a cracking short story by Joe R. Landsdale.
Love Object - the best movie about plastination I’ve ever seen.
eXistenZ.
Enough said.

I love that Peter Jackson used to make this stuff. Have you seen Bad Taste? I think you’ll like it.
Intacto - a very unique Spanish thriller that focuses on a group of people with ability to absorb the luck of others (needless to say, the unfortunate luck donors soon meet a sticky and premature end). They try to determine who is the best - or ‘luckiest’ - by participating in a form of ‘super russian roulette’.
One of the games they play is to run at full sprint through a dense woodland while blindfolded. It ain’t pretty…
Primer - basically Memento for scientists. A complete headfuck of a movie, but one that is best experienced (and figured out!) over multiple viewings.

Dude, one of my faves. “If 'cilla was here…would she wanna fuck? Or would we merely just talk about it?”

It’s an undiscovered classic, for sure. I once recommended Bubba Ho-Tep to a self-described ‘movie buff’. As soon as I told him what it was about, he turned his nose up and refused to watch it… I was stunned, because I thought the premise was genius the moment I read it…
Not sure if this is considered a no name movie, but BETTER OFF DEAD with John Cusack is a favorite 80’s movie of mine. Some classic good lines in that movie.

“A Boy and His Dog” with Don Johnson.
Good pro-rape entertainment. See also: Zardoz[/quote]
He does the right thing in the end.
Hard Candy. Outside of my old roommate, I don’t know anyone else who has seen this movie and I think they’re all missing out.
It’s about some dude meeting up with a 14-year old girl he met online, taking her back to his place and… she drugs/tortures him in an effort to prove he is a pedophile resposible for a missing girl.
Coupla “oh, come on!” moments, but an intense watch nonetheless.
LOL at Dead Alive, Better Off Dead, Bubba Ho-Tep, and Bad Taste… goddamn classics.

Brick (2006) - Another movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt that I liked a lot. JG-L’s character gets a desperate call from his ex and then gets involved in investigating what happened to her. It’s really a throw back to older, film noir movies.[/quote]
Another Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie that’s well worth watching is Mysterious Skin. Very different from Brick, but just as good. Not an easy movie to describe, but you could call it a ‘coming of age drama with a twist’. The guy sure knows how to pick his roles. Hope he keeps it up with G.I. Joe…
Let the Right One In- Swedish vampire movie. Horrific and touching by turns. Pacing is very slow but it’s worth a watch.
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist- A movie so stupid, so braindead, so head hammering DUMB it’s pure genius. Watched this with a packed crowd on opening night. After fifteen minutes, EVERYONE had left the theater except me and my bro. We were too busy laughing our asses off to care.
Red- Brian Cox turns in a hell of a performance as a lonely old man whose only companion, his dog is killed in front of him by some teenagers. He tries to reason with the parents of the boys but is rebuffed. The rest of the movie is how he gets even. Really great film that completely slipped under the radar.
Movie people have seen these but a lot of people havent seen them, which is very troubling…

13th Warrior- Don’t know why they chose a Spaniard (Banderas) to be an A-RAB, but o wells. Its about an A-RAB sent (but more like exiled) to the north to be an emissary to the north men (aka Badass Viking dudes). Basically a witch-like lady says that 13 warriors must team up and defeat these guys who wear bear skins and eat the ded. its a pretty sweet 90’s sword-fighting movie.
Lord of War- I don’t know how peeps haven’t seen this, but Cage is an arms dealer and thats pretty much all the movie is about. very solid and entertaining. o and dont worry, cage doesnt have the bird on his head for this one (if u dont know wut im talking about see NeeleyDan’s avatar on pg 1 of this thread).
No seriously, watch eXistenZ.
Jude Law at his finest.

It’s also Ellen Page’s first movie. I remember watching it back when it first came out and thinking that she was going to be someone to keep an eye out for in future movies.
I’m just happy that there’s someone else out there besides me that’s seen Bad Taste. Most people don’t have a clue as to what I’m talking about when I bring it up.
