Great Movies That Most People Haven't Even Seen

^^^dude...i loved it too=D its so bad its good :)
also i love brian de palmas CARRIE. thats fuckin classic.
 
Not sure on the percentage of people in here who are Australian.....but i think there is a great deal of aussie movies that are pretty great, and i'm sure that alot of them have not been viewed by the masses in USA, Europe etc...

Chopper --------- One of Eric Bana's breakthrugh roles; He played a selfstyled crimefighter (one way of describing fucking up drug dealers to get their cash). Gritty, very violent and often hilarious

Romper Stomper ------- Russell Crowe's first hit, another aussie classic about skinheads waring with the asian population( sure crowe may be a fuckhead but he can act!!)

The Castle -------- Aussie comedy......very australian in the sense that it is self deprecating and very ironic.....not sure if many yankee moviegoers would understand the humour...
 
Some good foreign films are:

Y Tu Mama Tambien

The Spanish Appartment

Intimate Strangers


Others:

Swimming Pool

Birth

The Door In The Floor

Straw Dogs ----> very strange movie.
 
Straw Dogs was awful. The way that movie treats women is pretty abhorrent.

Man with the Movie Camera
Blood for Dracula
Mona Lisa
Faces
The Red Shoes

Saw that the other day...interesting, quirky flick.


Some others:

The Tao of Steve

Kissing Jessica Stein

Old School pick: Little Big Man----a young Dustin Hoffman plays the (fictional) half-white, half-native American sole survivor of Little Big Horn from the US side. Made in the early 70's during the height of Vietnam anti-government sentiment so subversive anti-imperialist overtones are palpable, but the flick is satirically funny as hell in large stretches, with the flashbacks of Hoffman's life including scenes with Wild Bill Hickock, a goody-goody revival preacher's wife turned prostitute (played by Faye Dunaway), a gay Indian who wants to be his squaw and another ultra-competitive "keep up with the Joneses" member of his tribe.

Maybe it's because I'm young, but, regarldess, every time I talk about classic movies most people give me a blank stare. I'm afraid that the classics are all going to die :( so, my apologies for those who think that everyone has seen these films, because people my age or younger seem to have not.

Life with Father

This IS a great list.

I would also add The Razor's Edge (1946), All About Eve, and the aforementioned Stalag 17.

I'll try to check it out. What did you think of it? In terms of Herzog, the only films I've seen are Aguirre and Stroszek, and I liked them both very much. I've been on a bit of a Bergman kick lately, reviewing a few of the films I watched in school. I definately appreciate them much more these days. It's also interesting how some of Woody Allen's movies parallel his work, especially the similarities between Crimes and Misdemeanors/Deconstructing Harry and Wild Strawberries (apart from the fact that Allen stole Bergman's cinematographer).
