Best Movie that no one's ever heard of

[ricardogp]

Downloaded Strange Days recently... Enjoyed it in the 90s and want to watch it again.

Also downloaded Existenz which I think I enjoyed better in the 90s. Probably because the premise has been redone a few times now. But back then it was new and fresh.

The 13th Floor is just as good with a similar premise.

Very good movie. The date at the end of the movie is pretty awesome too

Did you inherit the contents of a Blockbuster store after they went broke

Two small films that I like... Not sure if "No-one has heard of" though?

Let's just say the 90s were awesome for cinephiles!

The Straight Story (1999)

An old man makes a long journey by lawnmower to mend his relationship with an ill brother


Gattaca (1997)

A genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.

Gattaca is pretty good. Luckily we haven't truly ventured down the road of genetic class divisions.

The Bag Man (2014)

Robert De Niro, John Cusack, Crispin Glover.

Flawless movie in terms of story, acting, and pacing. Riveting mystery/thriller from start to end. You dont realize youre holding ypur breath thruout, never sure what's going on and where it could end. Shocked how few people (or no people) know this film, and shocked by the mediocre reviews of it on imdb etc.

Challenge anyone to see it and not love it like i do.

That was filmed in Bermagui, on the NSW south coast!
