Three movies that I believe should be classics.

Margin Call - a great movie with a well known cast. It takes the sub-prime crisis and makes it tangible, interesting and suspenseful.

In the Loop - a movie about politics that is as funny as it is disturbingly authentic.

Breaker Morant - a war movie that has perfect moments throughout and touches on many issues that come to bear in the 20th and 21st century.

I remember seeing the previews for Brotherhood of the Wolf when I was in college. My roommates and i were jacked to go see it not realizing it was a foreign film. As soon as we saw subtitles we walked out.....young and stupid...I regret that now because I heard it was good but I've forgotten about it til now. Will watch soon!!

Mentioned it on here a few months ago but it's not real well known.

Would frailty qualify? It was a big release type movie but I know very few that have heard of it.

Fraility and Coherence qualify, especially the latter. I should have included it.

Also, I did fail to mention the best horror film of all time, from a massively underappreciated director: Picnic at Hanging Rock.

For those that enjoyed Primer: Timecrimes.

Junebug and Sunshine Cleaning for lighter fare.

Wow

Allow me to plug Sunshine again. This is the best sci-fi movie of all time, and I very much mean that. Boyle almost broke himself mentally making it, and was not given enough credit for this truly great product. I'm glad it turned into a terrifying slasher at the end. The true end point of good sci-fi is nihilistic horror, and an accompanying moral point by comparison. Read E. Michael Jones, Monsters from the Id.

Sunshine is excellent!

Religious themes:

Doubt
There Be Dragons
For the Greater Glory

Andy Garcia, one of my favorites, is very good in his passion project Lost City, and City Island was a decent comedy.

Calvary is excellent for those who appreciate Irish humor, which I do.

Black Sea is very interesting for those who believe this former lake adds some historical weight to the Noah story / myth, as I do (read Anne Catherine Enmerich if you truly want to stay up all night in terror and awe).

Also:

Shallow Grave

Tell No One

The East

Trance

Rover

Night Watch

Animal Kingdom

The Worlds Fastest Indian

Blowout

The Walker

Miss Meadows

And yes I know some of these have been discussses before here.

Forgot about Blowout. Good Travolta movie.

One of my favorite movies. Bill Murray was great.

Finnish dramedy, The Man Without a Past. Nominated for an Academy Award, but I find few who know of it. Part of a trilogy, it rides on dry wit and characters you care about. One of my family's favorites.

The Descendents
Plus

Pelada
A great humanity piece

Someone earlier mentioned Hunt for the Wilderpoeple. Loved it, but Boy is also a really entertaining film by the same guy.

Ponette. Yeah it's French. But having gone through something similar, it really got to me.

El Diablo
Band of the Hand
The Last Dragon
Ruckus

Amazing Grace and Chuck

If your answer to this is not We've Never Been Licked you're a bad Aggie.

I once asked for it at Hastings and was told "We don't have movies like that."

Call me a bad Aggie, but that is not a good movie.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

The Apostle with Robert Duvall.

Fantastic movie

The Night Flier

Kissed, staring Molly Parker. Ain't for the faint of heart.

The Stalking Moon. Gregory Peck, a Western.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Not as good as the book, but good.

Great movie. I to have found many people haven't heard of it. If anyone is interested the bbq joint where he beats up the teenagers is right outside of Pflugerville in Cele.

The hi/lo country. Kind of a western.
