The only two movies that come to mind are : Into The Wild & 50K and a Call Girl. I'm sure some more will come to mind that I'll post later.

Ludo, I'll check out the Outboy and Ruble Fish. Tried watching Wet Hot American Summer but was so tired I fell alseep. Need to get back to it. Other two, I've seen...just okay, imo


Spx, not watching those

50k and a Call Girl trailer:

I tried watching Into the Wild just a couple of months ago. It was okay, but I didn't love it.

When it comes to that particular genre I preferred. . .

Anyone have any underrated movies that most people have never seen/heard of? If I had to name 5 they would be:

1. Rumble Fish- One of my all time favorite movies. Just check out that cast.
2. Clerks- Not nearly as obscure as Rumble Fish, but if you aren't from in or around the Tri-State area, you may not have seen it.
3. Oldboy- Not the shitty 2013 Spike Lee rip off version, the 2003 cult classic. This movie will fuck you up a little bit, and change the way you see the world.
4. Wet Hot American Summer- Netflix just did a series based off the movie, and if you're a fan of slapstick comedy you'll love it.
5. Empire Records- One of those movies I saw when I was young, and never stopped liking each time I could find it(rarely, I might add) on tv.

Discuss.

1. The Dirties - Movie about a fictional school shooting. Two friends get bullied and plan to shoot up a school. One friend thinks it's just joke talk while the other is taking it seriously.

2. What We Do in the Shadows - A parody on vampires.

3. Fury - Not an unknown movie but one that I feel didn't get a lot of credit. Personally thought it was a phenomenal film.

4. The Babadook - Also not as unknown and this one did get a lot of credit but just putting here in case anyone hasn't seen it.

5. It Follows - See description for Babadook. Thought it was the best Horror film I watched in a loooooong time.

I've heard good things about What We Do in the Shadows, but haven't seen it yet. Same for Fury and The Babadook. It follows was great and has a fucking KILLER soundtrack.

I haven't even heard of The Dirties but it kind of reminds me of Elephant. This trailer is weird, but the movie is worth a look.

It's been compared to Elephant, I believe. Watch it, man. It was great. At least imo.

I'll put it on the list, thanks!

I've seen Wild. It was good but not better than Into the Wild. Fury was good, too. I like Brad Pitt

Almost started Babadook the other day. I'll watch it now . Haven't plenty of movies to check out now......and plenty of people to neg if they suck

[Luke]

Speaking of negging, please refer to the new sticky thread

[SPX]

I've seen Wild. It was good but not better than Into the Wild.

I am actually reading the book the movie was based on.

I want it on record that Babadook isn't everyone's cup of tea. The rest are pretty fantastic though.

[SPX]

I've heard that about The Babadook. Some love it, some think it's overrated.

I might actually watch it tonight. We'll see.

I am actually reading the book the movie was based on.

I read a lot about the guy after I first watched the movie. Didn't realize there was a book

[Luke]

Movies I had on my Amazon Video list to watch:

Scent of a Woman
The Crow
12 Angry Men
Dark Days
Coherence

Thoughts on any of them? Never seen any of them, yet

I meant I was reading the book Wild is based on, not Into the Wild. But Into the Wild is also based on true story, for which a book was written, which I have also read.

In case you're unaware, both movies are based on true stories and books.
