Films that hardly raised a stir which you rate very highly.

Don't know if they've been mentioned but buffalo 66 and beautiful girls for me. Along with Festen. My fave film of all time. Dark as f*** is that film.

GREAT shouts, as is Box Of Moonlight mentioned earlier in the thread.

Festen is a stunning piece of work (and that's coming from a guy who hates the Dogma films).

Anyone seen A Town Called Panic.

Totally fruit and nuts!!

I walked out of the cinema watching that film. F***** awful. Each to their own though.

School of Rock.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

That IMDB is shite,Ievery shit film I watch seems to get a high mark and every good film gets a poor one.don't bother looking what the dick heads on there have to say now.

The debt, recent release seems to have slipped under radar, Helen Mirren , Tom Wilkinson, Sam Worthington, Ciarin Binds. Great film.

Another vote for 21 Grams for me. Also City of God and Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead.

I don't think a low imdb rating means a film didn't raise a stir. Twilight is rated 5.3 but that was a movie event. imdb ratings are just about how much people who use the site liked it.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Also, Matilda and Little Vampire.

 

[BadFish]

I am going to chuck in Dig a documentry about The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Brilliant! Sorry if it has already been mentioned.

Festen really is amazing. Stunning acting by all involved.

Glengarry Glen Ross and Syriana: Two great 'political' films.

Great thread btw, really helpful - thanks.

Another vote for

I saw it on DVD quite recently and it was easily the best film that I have watched over the last year or so.

Got through half of it on Film 4 the other week but it was so long I had to order it on DVD. Also pending to watch in the CM household are:

Sophie Scholl
Pusher 1
Elite Squad 2
Max Manus
The Flying Scotsman
The Round Up
All About My Mother (HADDOCK!!!!)

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Oh and forget the shite cover/tagline on this Danish WWII resistance flick, it is an excellent watch, very well done and based on true life events.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I rather liked Accidental hero starring Dustin Hoffman,Andy Garcia and Geena Davis.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

I have no idea as to how much of a stir it caused when it came out, but I can't recommend:

highly enough.

It is an earlier one from Alejandro González Iñárritu, director of 21 Grams and Babel.

Just got round to watching District 9 which has been sitting on my SKY planner for a while. Thought it was an excellent twist on the usual 'Aliens come to earth' plot line although i admit there is a rather obvious apartheid allegory.
