What movie do you like that most people never seen?

What movie do you love that most people never heard of or seen? Mine is a movie called "Evenhand". I first saw it on IFC, then ordered a copy from Amazon. It is about two policemen in a small Texas town. One is meek and kind while the other is hard. They form a unlikley friendship. It is more plot driven, with little violence. The writing is pretty good.

In the Pianist, (based on true WW-2 story) Adrien Brody was great too, even if it was directed by the pervert Roman Polanski.

I have read all of his books and then he up and dies, dammit its hard to get an author that is consistent in great story telling...The Sacketts was a great series of books.

Is that the movie where one guy dies as a shooting star —> “what a beautiful way to die”?

Yes, that's the one. The beach ball alien scene was by far my most favorite of the whole movie. Remember it tapping it's foot?

“Rolling Thunder” - William Devane and a very young Tommy Lee Jones kick some border slime azz.

The Steel Helmet - Gene Evans and Korea

New movie: Javier Bardem is outstanding in “Bitiful”

Robert Duvall is out of character in “Assassination Tango” but handles it well.

Breaking Away. A classic coming of age movie for local teens in a college town. Centers around bicycle racing. Nominated for 5 Oscars, and won for screenwriting. Rarely seen anymore.

Big Fish. Tall tales told by a father are an embarrassment to his adult son, but the stories turn out to be based on truth and the son understands their meaning as his father passes away.

The Miracle of Marcelleno also known as Marcelleno, Pan a Vino is a post WWII movie about an Italian orphan and a monestary.

It is about a little boy who wants to find his mom.

Makes me cry everytime.

No Way Out - Kevin Kostner

His best movie, IMO. Hard to beat the supporting cast, too. Gene Hackman and Fred Thompson are always excellent.

I am glad you mentioned the 1953 “Martin Luther.” I haven’t seen it in years. I need to watch it again.

I am thankful for the Joseph Fiennes version of Luther because it helped stoke my daughter’s interest in Christian history and theology.

You mean, OJ Simpson was an astronaut before he went to prison? ;-)

He was willing to go anywhere on his quest for the real killer ;-)

"The Edge"

Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin and Elle MacPherson

This movie works on several levels and Hopkins and Baldwin (yeah, I know you hate the guy) are both great.

both of those movies deserved to be far more popular. I actually bought “Big Fish” on DVD and that is rare for me.

“Breaking Away” was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

both had some great subtle humor. “refund! refund!”.

13 Assassins. If you can handle watching a movie with subtitles it is a great martial arts/last stand type movie. Imagine 300 with Samurai and a whole lot more blood.
