Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm not talking about your blockbusters like Titanic or your Jurassic Parks, I'm talking about the movies that are little gems that have a small, or even a large following which weren't mainstream. Personally I go for one that turned into a big cult years after it had been released and is a hit amongst mostly all film critics. It was called Withnail and I, and was about two unemployed actors who take up the opportunity to go on holiday to a cottage in the Lake District, and turns out to be a disastrous holiday. If you know Richard E Grant then this was in fact his first acting role. 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, even though it took me a couple of times to really know what the fuss was about - I thought it was sheer brilliance! What about you lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorrificAttack Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Withnail and I is ludicrously popular. What next on your list The Big Lebowski? V is for Vendetta is also a MASSIVE film. Garden State was such a contrived movie, it tried so hard to be indie that it just felt like it was ramming it down your throat. For me, I watched Synecdoche, New York last night, it's not immensely well known and popular but it scores high with critics and it is absolutely amazing. I love these types of films though, I can't be bothered to list them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know too many people who don't what I'm talking about when I mention the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
