Office Space...

Do not underestimate how funny this film is and if you work in an office you need to watch it.

American Flyers

Rocky on a bicycle

12 Angry men.

One of the best scripts ever

jonnybadd

Yes office space rocks

Id say the last broadcast, made a couple of years before the blair witch but there similar ideas, have never met anyone who has seen this film and am dying to talk about it,i cannot tell people how excellent this film is.

4 rooms is the name of an other film, i think its the name anyway, 4 different stories about people in a hotel, and the common character, the bell boy,Tim Roth, Quentin Tatintino wrote/produced one of the stories i think and Robert Rodriguez wrote another one, and what was he later based spy kids on. Very dark but ultimitly brillient movie

Seconded. The piano duel is spectacular and the film is worth watching just for that.

Baseketball is good. Rudy is also a rarely seen show.

Is that that Sean Austin Romp?

Before Sunset is one of the worst, most pretentious films I've ever seen. If you see it in a video shop (unlikely, it's Arthouse ****) spray it with Mace and leg it.

it seems that women need to be notified about a certain little movie called:
Ferris Bueller's Day Off!!!

i say this as only one girl i have ever mentioned it to has seen it (and she was american so doesn't really count)

trotter_inc

The Royal Tenanbaums - seen this months ago and thought it was hilarious, but hardly anyone Ive mentioned it to have seen it!!

Van Hellsing

best film i've ever seen!

Ong Bak :Simply the best martial arts movie i've seen in years. Keep in mind when you're watching it that there's no CG and no wirework, all the stunts are done in camera.

galactus

Withnail & I

humanji

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - Steve Martins finest hour!

and

Fail Safe - There's 2 version and both are great, but the 1964 original is better. It's all filmed on a sound stage and is more like a play than a film, but it is very powerful.

A.S.H.

The Hitcher - great horror from the 80's with Rutguer Hauer
Evil Dead Trilogy - hopefully most have seen it but still many I mention it to haven't

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC FILM

I'll second the vote for The Killing and Paths of Glory which was mentioned earlier

A sh!tload of film noir (anyone else a big fan of this genre) like:
The Asphalt Jungle
The Big Sleep
D.O.A.
Double Indemnity
Out of the past
The Set-Up
Sunset Boulevard
Sweet Smell of Success

And some more modern films:

Bang Bang, You are Dead - like Elephant but better
Dirty Pretty Things
F#cking Åmål
The Iron Giant
Lantana
Memories of Murder
Network
Roger Dodger
Sleuth
Dead Man

Buster Keaton - The General
Charlie Chaplin - City Lights


I'd better stop there before I just basically list my favourite seldom seen films.

I really felt that About Schmidt starring Jack Nicholson deserved more attention. Much of the criticism I heard was along the lines of:

God, that was awful depressing!

or

He was still Jack, I suppose, but he wasn't being his usual Jack the Lad...

There is humour in this film in spades. And Nicholson is brilliant.

Also, check out Sexy Beast, starring Ray Winstone. It was directed by Jonathan Glazer who I think directed Radiohead's "Street Spirit" vid. The film is:

Fandabadozee- tastic

greglo23

O Brother Where Art Thou. outstanding Coen Brothers film.

Excellent movie, it's an absolute classic.


Em...
the ones I'd recommend seeing that most haven't would be;

Crazy / Beautiful
The Breakfast Club

And recently, the Garden State, bit different but I really liked it.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

is_that_so

The Straight Story - David Lynch, a gem of a film
Freaks - 1932 film, if you can find it - disturbing but excellent

EDIT: and of course Narc ,superb film
plus most of the lists people have come up with so far.

Ms Beanbag

"this boy's life" is brill. it was on rte1 last fri.
released over 10 yrs ago- '93. excellent film. DeNiro is a legend!

jonnybadd

Just watched the 25th hour, recommend it muchly, hope it fits into this list

Jonathanpbk

The film "happiness" is brilliant... although slightly disturbing!
Also "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" is great (though it may have already been mentioned)...
The rest of mine have already been recommended!

jonnybadd

Didnt see it on the list and it arrived on my doorstep just now, Life is Beautiful, an absolute masterpiece in my opinion, truely one of the most bittersweet films ever made

Well for those, like me, who like sexy tanned men having it off with one another, presque rien is a must

Sorry forgot it stated 'rent' in the title. As you can guess I didn't rent it! :rolleyes:

Do when it comes out though

Eternal Sunshine was good...a bit over rated though, i think anyway.

tSubh Dearg

Some Like It Hot - Rent it now. It's just such a Classic film.

Add serial Mom in there....haha hilarious
