what are some good under the radar movies?

decent western style flick w/ L gosset jr    el diablo   

Apocalypto was a  movie I couldn't turn off, and it was a struggle to get through the first ten minutes, but the shit got kinda intense after that for absolutely no English words spoken in it.

See it if you haven't yet. 

Requiem For A Dream

No film could make doing drugs look any more unglamorous and ugly.

Creepy. 

If you haven't seen it, everyone should at least once, kinda how I feel about the flick Trainspotting......

for you soccer heads

mean machine w/ jason stathom & vinnie jones pretty funny

football factory w/ danny dyer  enjoy

The Damned United was a really good movie with a soccer/football theme about Bryan Clough

Pandorum (2009) SciFi action thriller film with Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster (played the character of Steve McKenna in "The Mechanic").  IF you liked the Alien-Aliens series, you would probably like this. had excellent action, some good "startle" scenes and a really wierd "unexpected twist" at the end. ONLY problem I had with the movie was the sound track was kind of "arty-smarty" recorded and the dialog was hard to understand at times.

was on ENCORE a few times recently. hopefully they will screen again in the near future

Jade

Linda Fiorentino was hot as shit in Jade....

The Beautician and the Beast (1997) just happen to watch on Cinemax one night and it's pretty funny for a "chick flik". has almost a Marx Brothers  feel to it with a lot of back and forth between Fran Drescher as beauty school teacher Joy Miller (the beautician) and Timothy Dalton as the small eastern european country dictator Boris Pochenko (the beast). also had a bunch of pretty funny sight gags. a fun movie to watch  

it's on Cinemax again Wednesday Jan 11th @ 8:40 am pacific (east) and 11:40 am pacific (west) IF you want to watch or record.

From the first page, Running Scared with Paul Walker is a trip. Very under-rated movie.

City of God is one of the best movies ever made. Some scenes are so real it feels like your watching a documentary.

Russian movie Nightwatch. I got it in English but you can get it subtitled. Russian graphic novel with some vampires but not Twilight much more Bladerunner. A lot like Bladerunner.

Tis easier for a man to extinquish the light within then to fight the darkness that surrounds him.

The King's Speech (2010). watched on Showtime last night and was as good as the hype IF your into pure English historical drama and acting. had more of a stage play than movie feel to it.

only criticism I can come up with is that Timothy Spall who played Winston Churchill didn't look or sound anything like the man. would have been better off casting Ian McNeice who played Churchill in some Doctor Who episodes.

it's on Showtime numerous times this week. ref >>> https://www.sho.com/site/movies/movie.do?seriesid=0&seasonid=0&episodeid=140163

  

OOPS!!! WRONG THREAD!!! The Kings Speech is obviously NOT an "under the radar" movie

LRR   

 "13 assassins" a takashi miike flick looks interesting. I have liked the genre going back to Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai"

yojimbo a couple modern ones you will like "when the last sword is drawn"  &  "chocolate" 

DAMN. how MANY movies have been made with the basic plots of "Seven Samurai" OR "Yojimbo"? just off the top my head, "Magnificent Seven", "Fistful of Dollars", "Last Man Standing"....

too many to count!!! you have sukiyaki western django, the warrior and the sorceress, lucky number slevin, even belushi's skit from SNL "samurai futaba" have branched off in one way or the other from these two films/director!!! you know what they say?!? if it aint broke!!! 

Wild at Heart

the fifth element

for love of the game
