it's a cult classic, a movie you are more likely to discover in a college class than on TV

All I'm saying is that it doesn't get the attention it deserves. I'm well aware that it's not a Polish silent film from the 30's.

It's a great movie . Might need to watch it again to brush up on it though.

Völler hit me with some suggestions.

Kind of random, but Before Sunrise (and then Before Sunset and Before Midnight). The best romance films I think I've seen - because it feels real. And really, it's just two hours of two people talking. Or maybe something more manly like The Raid 2.

What are you looking for?

 

[Nzoric]

Anything. I'll check the three love stories you posted. Perhaps we can meet pver a bottle of Pinot and talk them through when Im done?

The Raid 2 was good.

Id love a drama like Dallas Buyers Club if youve got anything in store?

I can't really think of anything really good close to Dallas Buyers Club. Actually, Network or A Clockwork Orange if you want to see people fight the system.

Type "go fuck yourself" and see what comes up.

Cult classics are by definition overlooked, no?

Nizzypuff for life.

not really, maybe overlooked when it first came out(like big lebowski) but i wouldnt say thats a rule, like i said that movie is so admired and rated that it is part of a lot of college syllabi

Agree with the cult statement. That being said, a lot of shit is taught at college and just because a specific class shows the film doesn't mean it's not overlooked by the public.

Probably cause most of us saw it years ago.

coffee is... and FYI by public i mean people in the US, hard to find someone whos into movies and hasnt seen it

So this weekend I watched Godzilla and Philomena.

Thought Godzilla was decent. It had some great action sequences and a decent set up. But not enough of Godzilla.

Philomena is awesome. Steve Coogan and Judy Dench really make a great duo on the screen.

This meme is a internet phenomenon too:

How many that knows the meme do you think has seen the movie?

 

[GordoDeCentral]

irrelevant, since it's not a meme nor an internet phenomenon

 

[bongraider]

The Grand Budapest Hotel- a masterful piece of cinema.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Casablanca - Brilliant.

Grave of the Fireflies - ...

How is Google suggestions not just that? Also, the film flopped at the box office. It only earned $10 million in the US with a $12 million budget (that's low in the first place). Rule of thumb is that it needs to earn double the budget domestically to be a success. For a great film with such an insane cast, I'd still argue that it's overlooked.

Saw Guardians of the Galaxy. Was one of the worst things I've gone out of my way to see. Terrible.
