In the last year:
“Lars and the real girl”
“The bell and the butterfly”
and, although it won an Oscar, most people haven’t seen it “there will be blood”, which is about 100x better than Juno, gag.
Someone mentioned Boondock Saints. I don’t know, I for one thought that was the worst movie I have ever seen (right up there with The Avengers, any Zach Braff movie, and Mission Impossible). It’s like a high budget movie made by middle schoolers, characters have no depth and the plot I can’t even remember after seeing it twice. Maybe it just had too much hype in my circle of friends before I saw it, I dunno.

All good movies (don’t know about “PCU”), but the thread is “Great Movies Nobody Saw”. While “PCU” might fit that, the rest of them have been seen by a lot of people.
Brotherhood of the Wolf: Great mention by Prof X and the other guy that I forgot.
Equilibrium: Cheesy and Gay to me.
The Thing: Fucking great. Not only is that movie underated, so is Kurt Russell.
Movies people should see:
Fire and Ice: An ex-Ranger told me about this movie. Great movie. Art by Frank Frazetta with good voice acting and good fighting considering it came out in the early 80’s. Kind of like Heavy Metal.
Escape from New York: Snake Plissken. The Fuckin Man.
Soldier: Kurt Russell again. “Fear and Discipline. Always.”

Endless Summer… wasn’t that Jan Vincent? These guys are surfers and worried about getting shipped off to Vietnam right? If so, I remember that flick.

No. It was more of a documentary of surfers following the summer season around the globe, just to be able to surf year round. Great flick!

“Frailty” Its a Bill Paxton flick, I don’t know if it was in theaters, but a coworker of suggested it and all I can say is wow. Its kinda dark, but a great movie overall. If someone watches it let me know what you thought during the movie.

I have this movie. It’s pretty good, but it did come out in the theater.
Anybody else see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? The dialogue between Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer (who needs more work!) is hysterical.

It’s my favorite comedy of all time. The first time through I completely lost the story because I was laughing so hard the entire time. I’m am now a diehard fan of both actors.

Thank you, kind sir, for posting that.
I had no idea what to expect when I fetched it yesterday, but having finished viewing it, I can safely say that it’s one of the most inspirational piece ever made. Plus, the fact that I didn’t know the outcome kept me on the edge of my seat till the last minute.
Anyone seen “Dog Day Afternoon” and “Cool Hand Luke” ?
I love movies by Abbas Kiarostami, especially “Khane-ye doust kodjast?” (Where is the Friend’s Home?) and “Bad ma ra khahad bord” (The Wind Will Carry Us). Another favourite filmmaker is Ingmar Bergman; I love his “Persona” (the 1966 film), and “Det Sjunde inseglet” (The Seventh Seal).
