Obscure Movie Recommendation Thread8941

This was only in the theaters about 2 weeks and it had a very limited release. I think only one theater in Atlanta showed it. I made a point to see it in the theater. Idiocracy (2006) Private Joe Bauers, the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes five centuries in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive. |

If you're into that spaghetti western life... Good luck finding a complete English language copy of The Big Gundown. Whoever edited that for a North American release should have been fired. One of the best non-Leone spaghettis made. The Great Silence is amazing. It takes the silent anti-hero to a new level, and swaps out deserts and dirt for mountains and snow. |

Equilibrium is one of my favorites. Hobo with a shotgun was pretty wild too. Poor guy just wanted to mow yards and live a simple life. | ||

@Jesse_O You are most welcome. I wish I could help on your other film, but the amount of snake women out there is more than you might think. =( |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O I remember watching this one. Saw it on HBO, YEARS ago. I remember enjoying it, but not sure who was in it. There are two low-budget but fantastic sci-fi movies I'll recommend. The first is Moon, with Sam Rockwell. Don't watch the trailer first, it gives too much away. The second is called Primer, which is a time travel movie and extremely well done. I also really like Safety Not Guaranteed. Mostly because of the premise, but it was also done well. Based on an apocryphal classified ad that reads: "Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 91 Ocean View, WA 99393. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before. " |

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. | drchaos private msg quote post Address this user | |
Primer is one of the greatest time travel movies ever made. | ||

@kaptainmyke I’ve seen most of those. A lot of Tarantino influences in there. And ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ is one of the greatest Westerns I’ve ever seen. It’s not a genre I usually like, but that one is great. | ||

@kaptainmyke "The Princess and the Warrior" is a great movie! I have a lot of Franka Potente movies in my collection. "Once Upon a Time in the West" is one of the best westerns ever made. Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Jason Robards all have great parts in that movie! "The Good the Bad & the Ugly" is also one of my favorite westerns as well. |

Once Upon a Time in the West is my #2 western ever. Behind The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. I love me some John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, but there is something about Sergio Leone. The guy was a wizard behind the lens. My favorite scene in cinema is the opening scene. Three guys waiting for Charles Bronson to get off a train. Minimal dialogue, all stage direction, sound, camera angles, but the tension is built all the way up to the harmonica. | ||

You guys have to watch "Thriller: They Call Her One Eye". It's the inspiration for Elle Driver. Also, Lady Snowblood was the inspiration for O-Ren Ishii. Tarantino just has good tastes in film and chops them up to his liking for his own re-imagined take. Reservoir Dogs was borrowed from "City Under Fire". I love Water Hill, Jack Hill, Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci, etc |

The Candy Snatchers was based on a true story too so that movie will make you cringe. | ||

Just a follow up on Frankenstein's Army. It's all the vision of director Richard Raaphorst and checking out his fabulous artwork is a must see. http://www.richardraaphorst.com/ |
