Indeed, but I wouldn't consider it a lesser known film. it won an Academy Award and Golden Globe, and there was a TV series based on the film.

I would say it's lesser known among the youngsters on this board!

Yes, breaking Away is incredible. I left that off my list, even though it's in my library, as I assumed it was "well known".

So, a couple of additions, which I feel are 10s, yet I just don't know if the younger forum participants are aware of:

The Committments
Jeremiah Johnson
Flight Of The Intruder



Let's go downtown...



Tribes.

Very good film. And I believe, a "made for TV" movie.
Darren McGavin (and he was great in The Night Stalker)
Earl Holliman
Jan-Michael Vincent




And then the greatest movie ever (Hank Hill agrees) :

The Great Santini

I'm not aware of any academy awards for these films...

Night Shift (1982) directed by Ron Howard. Stars Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, and Shelly Long. Very funny movie.

Probably well known but it is worth R.E.-watching

Waitress (2007)

Loved this film.



And then... read up on Adrienne Shelly. Yikes and so very sad.

City of God

Haven't seen either of these yet. I need to remedy that...


Gotta continue to beat this one over the head... City of God is INCREDIBLE. Must watch asap.

Just watched The Age of Adaline on a recommendation. Very good movie. If you liked The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, definitely worth checking out.



Also, watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona thanks to this thread. Not bad.

Meant to write "choices" instead of "predictions," which obviously doesn't make sense.

All apologizes. See you tomorrow evening.

Tell me what you think when it's over. It's not for everyone, but personally, I loved it. I just couldn't believe they effectively pulled off an entire movie that takes place in a single car ride.

Just watched Goon, liked it a lot. Good recommendation. I'm a Seann William Scott fan, his career never took off like I thought it would.
Going to watch Blue Ruin next.

That Prisoners trailer is very spoiler-y. Still need to watch Nightcrawler, and i have a Google Play credit waiting to be used. Gotta make it count!

Watched Blue Ruin on Netflix over the weekend and will be catching more recommendations here.

Good thread, OP.

Two off the wall picks I recommend.

This Norwegian disaster movie. It's crazy over the top and the English dub I watched wasn't always great, but it's a pretty great and tense disaster movie.

Coherence is great.

I'll throw out The Man From Earth. Similar movie.
