Very good films that never made it very big.

I saw disconnect the other day, which I had not heard of before. I thought it was very well done along with being currently very valid.

Chicken Run. Did quite well upon release but doesn't nearly get the attention it deserves these days. Wonderful film.

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.

Ridley Scott's 1977 directorial debut The Duellists is a particular favourite of mine.

It has a stunning cast and the visuals are breath taking, especially the climactic duel sequence.

It helps if you are interested in the Napoleonic Wars of course.

Two crew members are stranded on a spacecraft and quickly - and horrifically - realize they are not alone. Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can't remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission? With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking, deadly secrets are revealed...and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined.
