    Zone Troopers, but I'm a sucker for bad B movies, My Life Without Me is so sad but really beautiful, and I love Empire Records, never gets old, but everyone's heard of it.

    Neither are exactly unknown, but neither are particularly lauded over either:

    Clue - funny as fuck.
    How To Get A Head In Advertising - better than Withnail & I, whilst still containing Richard E Grant.

    Fallen Angels is a great movie from Hong Kong, that most film-type people probably have heard of, but which is not so mainstream.

    um, has anyone seen Bad Boy Bubby? The one of the funniest movies EVER (in a sick way). It's a fantastic movie, i really liked it, once i'd gotten over the initial shock of some of the subject matter.

    Has anyone seen the documentary Baraka? Great footage and cinematography of nature and people.

    Hey Goldberry I have.
    I loved that wordless montage journey around the world with ambient
    music, great stuff. Never forget that scene in the jungle with all the
    men praying to their God, with their hands waving all over the place
    in unison while they chanted out strange noises.
    Glad you have seen it, I loved it loads.

    If you liked Baraka, check out Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi these films are truly beautiful.

    ^ That reminded me of "Night on Earth"
    I can't remember if I liked it or not, but there was one scene that had me suffocating with laughter. When Roberto Begnini is talking about having sex with a pumpkin. :eek:
    This is great... I haven't heard of any of these movies (except a few). Problem is, I seriously doubt I'll ever find them at the Blockbuster. o well.

    we should start a "movies no one's ever heard of swap" people who own the movies could trade with eachother and then send them back and do it all over again with a different person. Could be fun.

    Satyajit Ray's was a master film maker. Any of his films are well worth seeing, but I think his best was Charulata. While you're at it, see Devi, The World of Apu and The Stranger also.

    If you like Bob Dylan, then you have to see Masked and Anonymous.

    I own copies of Dead Man, Withnail and I, and How To Get Ahead In Advertizing. I am not quite sure why, but they remind me of Harold and Maude.

    Oh yeah, the guy who made Love Object, Robert Perigi, is a close friend of a close friend. I have talked with him a few times. And yes, of course, he's a little quirky, in an interesting kind of way.

    And I just love Baraka. If you like this film then I would also suggest you see 1 Giant Leap. I also loved What The Bleep Do We Know?, I Heart Huckabees and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
