Dead Man - a very surreal Johnny Depp western.

Topic is moot because Redstone always already saw it and thought it wasn't diverse enough.

I agree with Mr. Brooks. Amazing.

Two others with big name actors that flew under most folks' radar:

Drive
- Won best director at Cannes in 2011.
- Ryan Gosling

Fracture
- Go watch it. Movie that plays out like a great legal thriller novel.
- Not a hipster indie choice but one nobody mentions, similar to Mr. Brooks in that way.

I loved that movie as a kid and still watch it off and on today.

Black Robe

I show scenes from this when I teach. It's very accurate and brilliantly shot.

The King of Kong: A Fistfull of Quarters. A documentary that is so hilariously on point, I thought it was a mockumentary. couldn't have been done better by Christopher Guest. And this was real! Love this show.

Holy ***** Just watched the trailer. Now I have to watch it.
I was hooked with the line "No matter what I say, it draws controversy. Sort of like the abortion issue."

From the OP, didn't Whiplash win an Oscar?

Reign over me was fantastic but hard to be under the radar with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle.

I will throw a few out there off the top of my head:

Ruby in Paradise. Ashley Judd in a true low budget independent movie that takes the time to actually explore characters.

Spring summer winter fall spring. This movie has almost no dialogue but tells an well formed story anyway, it's a Korean film about Buddhist monks who live on an island in the middle of a lake. Amazingly shot.

Monsters. I think the whole movie was made for less than 500k or something crazy.

Not sure if Whiplash won an Oscar or not. I know it won some Sundance Film fest awards. All I know is when I ask people about it, they've never even seen it.

Fracture, (mentioned above) is AWESOME!!

The movie Anonymous is great. Especially if you have any interest in Shakespeare.

The Castle

An Australian film about a lower-middle class family whose back yard butts up against a major airport. When the airport wants to expand, the town forces them to sell their house through eminent domain. The father of this family of lovable losers fights the city and takes it all the way to Australia's equivalent of the Supreme Court. It's freaking hilarious but extremely moving & touching at the same time.

J.K. Simmons won an Oscar for Best Actor.

I only knew about the movie from the thread here, which convinced me to Redbox it. Great movie. Excellent suggestion.

Apparently there are a lot of best picture Golden Globe/Academy Awrd nominees that qualify as under the radar.

If the radar is Michael Bay films, then everything I watch is under the radar.
