Favorite lesser known films

Malcolm from 1986. Don't know how I missed it then. Should be very popular with the DIY crowd.

My wife and I were watching "Idiocracy" on cable last week. The real commercials were a near reflection of the movie.

It's got what plants CRAVE!

I'm convinced that "OW My Balls!" will actually be on next year.

I posted about this movie a year or so ago and a good friend of mine reported that he couldn't get through 15 minutes of it, he hated it so much. Ah, well.

Wipeout.

The doctor scene is so awesome!

Mike Judge needs to work on pacing or something for appealing to the mass audience - it is a problem with Office Space as well.

Haha! I love wipeout!

Tell me about his pacing. What's wrong with it?

I hope he never does. These films were both absolute gems. There's plenty of other film-makers churning out product for the citizens of 500 years hence; it's nice that there's at least one guy making some intelligent fare that doesn't need to be paced like a Tex Avery cartoon.

Palookaville 1995 with Vinny Gallo

Saw last night this one. You only find this kind of bizarre, grotesque, crazy humor in some Italian movies. I'd like to know why. It's the weather, the pasta? Maybe there's still some Roman blood flowing there.

I watched "The Saphires" The Sapphires (2012) - IMDb the other week. Really enjoyed it. and I think it is a good one for anyone into audio

Tony.

In that vein, Italians as seen by Arcangela Felice Assunta Job Wertmüller von Elgg Espanol von Brauchich: Swept Away.
And another movie that dwarfs the American remake: Spoorloos.
And another: Shutter.

Yes, Pasolini. Another transgressor. By the way, I watched this one the other day. Not bad.
