Great Films that not many people have seen
Just watching NARC with fat Ray Liotta and got me thinking not many people would have seen this film not particually well known it was the first film we studied in film studies.
Anyone else got any particually good unknown films?

Anyone remember when Ray Liotta came onto the pitch before Spurs away a few years back? Bizarre moment.

Bunny and the Bull.
Surreal roadtrip by the director of The Mighty Boosh. Worth watching just for Julian Barratt's portrayal of a dog loving, eastern european tramp.0 -

Funny Enough Messerine is on my stack of DVD's to Watch (near the top so looking forward to that one.
La Haine was the 2nd film i studied and one of my all time favirotes. Vinz Casell in both great actor.

'Primer', if you like Sci Fi. 'Brick', if you like off-beat comedy-drama.0

The Duellist.
I was a bit underwhelemed by Restrepo, brilliantly shot, undoubtebly emotional at times, but the narrative is Junger's the guy's a bit hyperbolic on emotion and masculinity rather than nuance and a bigger picture. Junger does some interesting things, but scratch the surface and he doesn't bring much focus. Restrepo well worth watching, for me not a patch on The Anderson Patrol.

One of my favourite films and my favourite actor.0 -
Innocent Blood with Anne Parillaud and Anthony LaPaglia is brilliant but only available in this country as a US import for some bizarre reason. Also Badlands with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. Domestically the Long Good Friday showed that Bob Hoskins really can act (sometimes).

Whilst maybe not a gem, Martin Sheen reminds me of one of the best accidental comedy judges ever seen on.... Dead Presidents. A time when he was coming out of a period of piss poor TV movies and shit films.

Got it for my birthday a little bt back and watched it over a couple of nights. You simply cannot go wrong with Cassel.My favourite Woody Allen film is 'Take the Money and Run' which no one else ever seems to have seen. The scene when he plays the cello in a marching band still has me in stitches. Why can't he make good filsm any more???

I think perhaps Woody Allen deserves a thread of his own. I'd go for Bananas or Sleeper though.0
