what are some other hidden gems only you know about?
What are some other hidden gems only you know about?
criminally underrated
Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds
Mel Gibsons Apocalytpo
Neighboring Sounds.
It's stupid to say that only you know about it you know. But underappreciated yes
Some more based underappreciated movies:
Fail-Safe (1964) - a must watch, far superior than Dr. Strangelove
The Imposter
Dog Day Afternoon
Children of Men
The Conversation
In Bruges
The Hunt
PURE NORN IRON KINO LADS
None of these are underappreciated and some of them are grossly underrated. Go shave.
Are you for real?
There were memes about Jesse James on here, we just stopped talking about it

>only you know about?
>the Assassination of Jesse James
Are you new here?
it's the opposite, all of them are rated just fine but they are all mostly underappreciated
for example fail-safe has only 14K ratings on IMDb while Dr. Strangelove has 350K, just try to tell me that most people know about it
>Children of Men
>underappreciated
It's "appreciated" to the point of it being overrated to Hell and back.
Just re-watched this last night.
>In the 19th century, a bizarrely disfigured harpooner named Iguana Oberlus (Everett McGill), suffers abuse from peer sailors on board of a whaling vessel. One night he escapes and continues to live on a remote island of the Galápagos Islands. There, he proclaims himself the ruler of the island and declares war on humanity. Anyone who happens to find himself on the island faces the cruel tyranny of Iguana. He enslaves shipwrecked sailors, and Carmen (Maru Valdivielso) is forced to become his mistress.
Any film starring Brad Pitt is far from being hidden.
Upstream Color
I recently saw Fail-Safe. You may prefer it to Strangelove, but it is in no way superior to Kubrick's masterpiece.
>brexit
>fertility diseases (zika)
>allahu ackbar
>immigration crisis
>false flags and terrorism
Children of Men might be the best future predicting movie there is
>that epilogue scene
literally the best thing to come out of modern cinéma in the past 10 years
The Cure
Underrated as fuck and I'm surprised it isn't a cult classic.
makes me nostalgic
Deer Hunter
This film is NOT underrated. It is highly rated by just about everyone who watches it.
Lesser known =/= Underrated.
Never met anyone else who has seen this. I saw it late at night on SyFy I think (back when it was still Sci-Fi) and thought "By the people who did Blair Witch? This will hopefully be so bad it's good." Turns out it was actually just legitimately good. Includes some amazing gore effects in it as well.
Maybe not in technical terms and budget wise, but I think Fail-Safe tackled that subject with much more precision.
And brilliant direction of Lumet who pulls 110% from every actor on set. Focused on point dialogue. Perfect pacing and clean editing.
Dr. Strangelove is ofcourse great too, but doesn't have the same qualities I listed above for me. It felt like an episode from an old series to me, not a movie.
Invasion of the body snatchers
>64% on RT according to "top" critics
Are you sure it isn't underrated?
I wouldn't call a movie of 5 oscars underrated. Maybe kidz theez dayz don't appreciate it, but it sure as hell was appreciated back then.
No fucking way, I thought I was the only one on Sup Forums who has seen this film. Love it.

At least I have never heard anyone talk about this documentary. I'm sure Sup Forums would love it.
Yeah well old people like you don't matter anymore.
If OP thinks the assassination of jesse james is a lesser known movie then he won't know about Deer Hunter.
wut?
This is in no way a hidden gem. It is a highly-rated documentary with a Criterion release.

The Return
The Decalogue
Oh. Soz.
if you like david fincher's grittier movies, especially se7en, or any dark thrillers like Prisoners or 8MM you should check this out.
It's about a rookie cop, played by Al Pacino, who is sent undercover inside the NY-underground S&M gay bars to find a serial killer who is targeting gay men.
Unfortunately it's a mostly forgotten film by now, apparantely Al Pacino doesn't like to talk about it, but the atmosphere and the visuals are really outstanding, you get a creepy feeling throughout the whole film.
Not to mention the god-tier soundtrack:
youtube.com
Fight scenes are streams of pure, continuous kino.
I was intrigued until I heard your "god tier" soundtrack.
If it's like that throughout then no thanks.
...
I rarely see O Lucky Man! discussed, even though it's much better than If...
As for really hidden movies, Little Wars (1982).
the soundtrack doesn't really define it, this is the only song that sounds rockabilly-ish... the rest is mostly new vave and punk stuff that was playing in the bars at that time...
ITT critically acclaimed films
a western with Kevin Costner, where there are two family fighting eachother .. don't know the title
>hidden gem
>highly popular film
normies get out
Legit kino.
Which one? 1956 or 1978?
There's also Body Snatchers (1993) and The Invasion (2007)
>ron pearl man
I had to fucking look twice at that picture
78. rest are shit
...
I thought 56 was okay
Caught it on Netflix once. Wasn't bad.
...
