If you haven't already, the second rec is actually rather good for a sequel.

Enjoyed 1 and 2, they were nicely linked. Now 3 is still an ok movie, but an ok silly tongue in cheek horror movie which does not fit thematically at all.

House Of 1000 Corpses is one of my favourites - seems to be forgotten a bit as a horror film. Good music, gory, funny, and there's a couple of fitties in it too.

Brazil.

An amazingly crafted dystopian fantasy, with a beautifully imagined 40's styled future. Terry Gilliam's best work, superb performances from Di Niro, Ian Holm, Jonathan Pryce, Bob Hoskins, Jim Broadbent, Michael Palin.

Is hugely lauded.

The Castle, brilliant film from makers of The Dish.

Locke starring Tom Hardy. One of the greatest acting performances ever filmed . About 12 people saw it. Absolutely stunning film.

Of course. The thread is 'very good films that never made it big'. It is rightly lauded as a very good film, but is it big?

Sleuth

The original that is.

I've seen a stage version too, with Gerald Harper and Tony Anholt- great tension, with just two actors.

The original film batters the remake.

desprateseagull · Feb 19, 2015

Others that went under the radar..

Major League.
Inside Man.
Eden Lake.

Prince Monolulu · Feb 19, 2015

Ida. Excellent film.

HantsSeagull · Feb 19, 2015

Dark Star by John Carpenter - brilliant space/sci fi spoof

and Shawshank redemption was a box office flop

Recently, I had very low expectations for The Counselor (2013) as it has some poor reviews - but I really enjoyed it.

CorgiRegisteredFriend · Feb 19, 2015

Surveillance directed by Jennifer Lynch daughter of David is a good if violent thriller from 2008

Agreed, saw it at the Phoenix Film Festival last year.
