Reccomend some great recent "unknown" films.
I recently picked up The Machinist, and the DVD included a trailer for what looks to me to be a fantastic flick. Just by seeing the trailer, I knew that I had to go out and find it, and buy it. After looking up reviews for the DVD and the movie itself, it looks like I'm right in thinking I should look into it.
The movie I'm talking about is Mean Creek. What other "unknown" gems that have been released in the past few years do you think that I should check out? I saw a trailer for Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself last year, but I still haven't picked it up. Have any of you seen that one? I'll get this started with a pick of my own: Interstate 60 |
well regarding meen creek
Spoiler:
|
Interstate 60 was my pick also. Fantastic movie.
|
I rather enjoyed two movies no one ever seems to mention in threads like these: <b>The Settlement</b> with John C. Reilly and <b>Chasing Sleep</b> with Jeff Daniels. Both on DVD, check 'em out. :up:
|
I've never seen The Settlement, but I have seen and own Chasing Sleep. It really is a fantastic, weird, film.
Another one I loved, and it is talked about a little bit but not as much as I think it should be, is Tape. If not for the film itself, then at least see it for the concept. |
<b>Tape</b> made me think of another one, <b>Final</b> with Denis Leary. I thought it was going to be some douchy indy sci-fi thing but it turned out pretty good.
|
You may enjoy a movie called "The Jacket"
http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=WBD033685 I liked it, it's a different take on the theme of the movie, i'm not going to say much but check it out. |
I've never heard of final.
I own The Jacket, but I haven't watched it yet. :) |
I thought Wilbur was a really good movie. A few other movies that you may have missed that I would recommend:
The Return I'm Not Scared Noi The Mother Oldboy - This may not actually be out just yet In My Country more well received, but very highly recommended from me would also be A Very Long Engagement |

One of the best "small" movies of the past year was <b>UNDERTOW</b> - well-crafted and suspenseful all the way!

Twenty Bucks just came out on DVD and its a swell movie.
|
Holy crap, I've been waiting for that to hit DVD for a long time. How come no one is talking about this release? Are there any reviews for it anywhere yet?
*goes off to find the best price for the DVD* |

*goes off to find the best price for the DVD* You posted in that thread too. Have no idea why there are no reviews out for it that I can find. As usual, DDD seems to have the best price. http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemid=COL004975 It actually appears to have been given a decent release with a couple of commentaries/featurettes. |
I totally forgot about that thread, it's been so long ago.
I bought Mean Creek off of eBay for $10/free shipping using Buy It Now, and I got it today. I'll sit down and watch that one pretty soon. |
Ive heard really good things about Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself but havent seen it yet, either. I will probably buy it blind just for the hell of it.
