TheRus 0 #1 June 18, 2003 Ok, now I am curious to know what movies everyone else digs that were NOT major ones (or ones that might not be as commonly known). My personal favorites (along with their ratings): They Live Hell Comes to Frogtown Harold and Maude The Adventures of Baron Munchausen 5 Deadly Venoms (also released under the name Wu Du) UHF I'm sure more will come to me, but I am curious what other great movies are out there that never got the attention/respect from Hollywood they deserved. Yeah, it's fine, we'll walk down the line. Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine You my friend, I will defend... and if we change, well, I love you anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRus 0 #3 June 18, 2003 More I can't believe I forgot: Time Bandits Torch Song Trilogy Ice Pirates Jeckyl and Hyde - Together Again Many of these are prime candidates for USA Up All Night movies (which is where I saw most of them anyway).

Cava 0 #8 June 18, 2003 Vampire's Kiss Starship Troopers Blood And Concrete Sweet And Lowdown (Woody Allen's remake of La Strada) Zero Effect (dialogue contains a nice, concise explanation to a whuffo why one isn't afraid of skydiving) The Croupier Brazil (creepily even more relevant if you re-watch it now) Andy Warhol's Dracula and Frankenstein, two of the greatest low-budget camp films. Good luck finding them anywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #25 June 18, 2003 Buckaroo Banzi was bad? Actually, that had a lot of potential to be a commercial success, but at the very last minute a huge chunk of the commercial tie-in deals fell apart and then the entire promotion for the film sorta collapsed like a house of cards. Too bad, because I thought it was pretty cool and would have liked to have seen a sequel.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
