I've recently rewatched some of my favorite lesser known movies, and I love them so much. I thought we should have a thread about our favorite movies.

I'll start with two that I think are very special.

Buffalo 66:

Lars and the Real Girl:

In Time:

In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage - a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.

How many quotes do you know from this movie?

The Princess Bride:

My name is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father.
Prepare to die.

Vizzini: He didn’t fall?! Inconceivable!
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I second the Truman Show, and also giggled at Howard the Duck back in the day.

Some of my current favorites are Pleasantville, The Negotiator, and The Game.

Two likely on no one else's list

Here's a baker's dozen. Some of my 'not-too-weird' favorites, in no particular order:

That should keep you busy.

Ah! A fellow horror-flick lover~!

Perhaps one of the best horror films I've ever seen:

I'm going to have to check out some flicks. There are a few recommendations up there that I've not seen, but sound good.

I'm not going to second much as there are too many good ones above, but +1 for Cube. Great flicks.

Just to name a few...

I didn't even know that Old Boy was released outside Korea.

It's perhaps one of the more disturbed movies out there. Deeply disturbed...

+1!

That bit of movie strangeness left my brain agitated for a day or two after I saw it. Very disturbing movie. It outdid the cult classic Videodrome for leaving you in a weird state of mind afterwards.

That's precisely why I liked it. I like movies that make my brain feel like it was caught in a bug zapper. When trying to recall some that maybe not everyone has seen before, Old Boy was the first to come to mind.
