What would be a good movie?

Question

What would be some good movies to watch that aren't that well known? Any genre is fine except for romance, not a huge fan of romance.

Answer 1

"Road House" with Patrick Swayze

Answer 2

The Count Of Monte Cristo. The Usual Suspects. American Me. Blood In, Blood Out. Brubaker. Shawshank Redemption. Murder In The First. Stir Of Echoes. Manhunter(which is based off the book Red Dragon and is actually the first movie before Silence of the Lambs and had a different Hannibal-not Anthony Hopkins). Johnny Handsome. The King Of New York. The Elephant Man.

Answer 3

These are good, not great, just good...
Birthday Girl (nicole kidman is a Russian mail order bride)
Nothing (two weirdos wish the rest of the world away)
No Man's Land (great, actually. two soldiers from opposite sides must decide about a third soldier who's laying on a live mine)
Tadpole (a 15 year old brilliant kid is into 40-something women)
The Luzhin Defence (very good film about an almost autistic-like chess genius and his one romance).

I almost forgot--Series 7: The Contenders (filmed on video, to add to realism, I guess. Like the show "Cops," only these people have to kill each other on tv.)

Answer 4

I recommend Cemetery Man (a.k.a. Dellamorte Dellamore, a.k.a. Demons 95, a.k.a. Of Death And Love, a.k.a. Of Death, Of Love) with Rupert Everett. You can find it at your local Blockbuster, and although it has elements of romance, it is a weird Italian zombie movie with some pretty funny parts. Here's a synopsis form IMDB:

This movie is based on a novel of Tiziano Sclavi, and it always reflects the "sclavian philosophy" diffused by the most succesful comics in Italy: Dylan Dog, the detective of the nightmare. There is the duality between love and dead (in Italian "dellamore" means "of love" and "dellamorte" means "of death"), a duality that Dellamorte feels in a really hard way. He is the guardian of the cemetery of Buffalora, a little town in the north of Italy, in which, we don't know why, corpses rise from tombs and Dellamorte has to destroy them. Dellamorte seems not to ask to himself why this happen, he shoots and loves. But at the end he wants to leave Buffalora... Written by Bruno Iannazzo {[e-mail]}

I really enjoyed it. Hope you do too!

"Creep" - A British film about a young woman who falls asleep at an underground train station and misses her last train and finds herself locked inside and eventually running for her life from a sadisctic, cannibalistic killer who lives in the underground sewers of the station.

Answer 6

Any movies from the imdb top movies are pretty safe. Browse through them or pick a type of movie you're looking for on the left hand side and you'll see some of the top movies listed.

Answer 7

Saving Face is a great newage comedy. Whale Riders is a very touching drama. Equilibrium is not a known sci fi action but it beats the matrix.

Answer 8

Coen Brothers movies- such as Blood Simple and Millers Crossing. Fargo's also a classic.

Answer 9

Glory-an excellent movie about the civil war and and the black regement of soldiers, it will make you cry.

Amadeus-about Mozart and his life and death, if you like classical music it's a great movie and another tear jerker.

I wouldn't say Stealth is all that great though, it was pretty weak.
