Great Movies Nobody Saw?

The Brotherhood of The Wolf. Foreign film with great fight sequences about a town filled with “wolf creature” worshipping fanatics. When the King sends a group to investigate the murders going on, they find tons of witch craft, gypsies and a giant wolf beast.

The special effects were decent as well.

Miami blues. Came out in the late 80’s,starring Alec Bladwin. Super badass movie. 11:14 was pretty good. To whoever mentioned Gummo, I went to school with a kid who was one of the main characters. That movie is all kinds of fucked up.

I also liked the movie. Primarily because of Vincent Cassel (That’s the lucky bastard that is married to Monica Bellucci).

Le Rivières pourpres (The Crimson Rivers) and especially La Haine (Hate) are also awesome movies starring Vincent Cassel.

Yes X, that was a pretty damn good movie. I really liked the main characters side kick the Native American guy. He was a fearless bad ass character. The main guy was cool to.

That guy was an awesome actor and fighter (assuming he actually did most of that himself…there were few cut aways during the sequences). I had never seen him in anything before that or since.

Ya i always fuck up the T/S.

Dont know if its been mentioned but green street hooligans.

Good call on The Brotherhood Of The Wolf :slight_smile:

The lead actor is French actor Samuel Le Bihan

&

is the name of the guy in The Brotherhood Of The Wolf who plays Mani (great martial arts scenes)

He now hosts Iron Chef America, IIRC

Also Last Man Standing w/Bruce Willis, The Quick & The Dead was decent (Sharon Stone at her apex of hotness next to her role in the Specialist)

& another nomination is the recent movie Derailed, which had a pretty good cast working it - Vincent Cassel as mentioned above, Jennifer Aniston, Clive Owen, Xzibit & RZA

Miami Blues was friggin’ awesome.

12 Angry Men

A little on the old side, but a great law flick. Entire movie was filmed in one room.

Being John Malkovich.

Dobermann.

Another Vincent Cassel movie,I loved it.

The Descent (Get past the accents and the chick dialogue…it actually holds your attention)

Excellent film! The soundtrack was genius as well. I bought that soundtrack just so I could creep myself out as I worked at night listening to it. lol

Coincidentally, two other “cave” movies with similar premises were released that same year as The Descent. Critics pretty much panned the other two.

The Descent is on my top ten list of best horror films. However, my best friend and his girl friend found the movie more hilarious than frightening.

But I guess to really enjoy a horror film you have to:

  1. Watch it alone. Especially any smart ass making comments about logical fallacies in the plot, making jokes about the monsters,… is killing the fun.
  2. Watch it at night.
  3. Watch it with a beamer.

John Carpenter’s The Thing

Absolute bomb at the box office and excoriated by the critics, but one of the best sci-fi/horror pieces ever. Even after all these years.

That movie deserves a sequel even though I know they could never do it right.

I can’t believe it got bad reviews when it first came out. That was before I knew what a movie was, but after seeing it years later, especially on DVD, it is one of my all time favorite horror movies.

Critics clearly don’t know shit.

I didn’t know he was in that much shit. That movie is now one of my all time favorites now that I know he actually did most of that himself.

Short of Undisputed 2 (with Micheal Jai White), there are few movies that actually showcase what looks like “damn close to real” fighting like that.

He should have actually had a larger role in the movie…but I can’t complain too much.

It’s good, but Football Factory is a more accurate representation of the dynamic of football firms. Plus, not matter how many times I watch GSH, I have a hard time believing Frodo Baggins is a badass.

Anybody else see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang? The dialogue between Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer (who needs more work!) is hysterical.

District B13 was a cool French flick with lots of parkour and ass kicking.

It was lambasted as a mindless over the top gore fest that only the lowest level of moviegoer would enjoy. That flick was brilliant and broke all kinds of new ground in special effects not to mention the thoroughly butt puckering claustrophobic tension it created. It probably is too late for an effective sequel. Russel is thirty years older and it would have to take up where the first one ended in my view.

You should also check out Crying Freeman starring Dacascos.

Kentucky Fried Movie for the comedy department. It boggles my mind that almost no one has seen this movie and it’s one of the greatest comedies ever made.
