[Phenom]

Boondock Saints

Great Movie!

 

[Another Steve]

Haven't seen it, will wait but sound it may fit what your looking for. Have heard it is really good.

Capote

 

[neverteaseit]

i have heard capote is very good. i tried to get a copy in iraq before i left but they were out. so i will be buying it once it is released.

has anyone seen the new jennifer aniston movie derailed?

 

[rrc]

Derailed was a great book but I heard the movie was average.

Certainly not obscure, but get Crash if you haven't seen it yet.

 

[betz]

some of the better, not quite as mainstream movies that i have seen recently:

broken flowers
the constant gardener (not really about gardening)
the woodsman

just watched walk the line tonight, top notch flick

 

[DR STRANGELOVE]

crash

 

[Joey Dee]

Derailed was average/above average if that helps

 

[SixFive]

a few Korean flicks that are really good but certainly not mainstream

Tae Guk Gi (The Brotherhood of War) ::War/Action/Drama

Oldboy:rama/Mystery/Thriller Quite a twist here

Join Security Area ::Mainly drama/Thriller

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance::drama/action + uniqueness that's hard to describe

Clay Pigeons

Has Vince Vaughn & Joaquin Phoenix

One of my favorites.

 

[Paydirt]

Amores Perros(Foreign)

Station Agent

Life as a House

These are three pretty good ones

 

[selkirk]

Six Five listed a movie that a friend gave me, told me it was a little intense.

Oldboy:rama/Mystery/Thriller Quite a twist here

wether you like it or hate, the movie grabs you from the start. after watching 4 hollywood large budget films and comparing them to this film, now know why the North American box office is struggling.

thanks

[Mjolnir]

if you want to see a movie about psycho chicks, gotta see Audition. japanese flick. will seriously think about the girls you date.

zathura was a very entertaining movie.

 

[AR182]

the spanish prisoner with steve martin is a very good movie......it's about grifters....


i thought the constant gardener was very boring...

 

[gardenweasel]

nightwatch...with ewan mcgregor,nick nolte, josh brolin,patricia arquette and the broad from the gilmore girls....

atmospheric and creepy...

 

[lay the wood2]

layer cake

great movie that hasnt gotten much exposure , same type of movie as boondock saints and snatch. european gangster movie that went way under the radar.
you won't be dissapointed..

[kosar]

Not recent but a fairly obscure dark comedy:

Very Bad Things with Vince Vaughn, Jeremy Pivens...etc.

Hooker gets accidentally impaled while getting banged in a vegas hotel bathroom during a bachelor party. Hilarity ensues.

 

[LAPURE]

JUNEBUG-MATCH POINT& EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE FOR SKIN

 

[The Boys]

History of Violence.........is A+

 

[smurphy]

Sounds like "The Salton Sea" would fit into this group pretty well.

Hey AR, speaking of grifter movies have you seen "The Grifters" with John Cusack? That was pretty trippy.
