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?

The Dark Knight

i dont know if these count, but here's a few:

 

ghost world.

everything is illuminated.

garden state.

v for vendetta.

uuuh, there's more. i just can't think of any at the moment.

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.

Only ludicrously popular with those who have actually seen it. I know too many people who don't what I'm talking about when I mention the film.

Trainspotting! It's considered a cult movie isn't it? :)
