I love movies that slipped by the masses. Here's a few I love wink










But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away

One of my all time favorite movies. Produced by a good friend of mine

. Good Movie. From what I recall it didn’t get much if a theatrical release. I think I saw it on video

It did receive a theatrical release, but it was limited and brief, sadly. The issue was largely attributed to Trimark Pictures, which folded a couple of years later. This is why many low-budget movies fail to receive the recognition they deserve, as they often lack adequate funds for marketing. Even a successful independent studio is always going to be the underdog in a game where the majors control the field.

And that's also why this thread is necessary. There are so many unbelievably good movies out there that never got the proper dues because of these aforementioned facts and others wink

Yeah, Phoenix is one of my all-time favorites. I especially loved the performances of Ray and LaPaglia. And Brittany Murphy! wink

Another one of my favorites! J.T. Walsh's performance was epic

Another independent gem. This one was done with a micro-budget, but it was so well made that it developed a bit of a cult following

Michael Mann's Manhunter was largely overlooked during it's time, but it has gained some traction in recent years

To me, Class was the first Brat Pack movie. Loved Jacqueline Bisset's performance. Never a dull moment

This is not a well known film and I haven't seen it in years due to a lack of blu-ray release but THE CURVE (renamed DEAD MAN'S CURVE for some reason), was a solid little film with a great cast (Matthew Lillard, Michael Vartan, Randall Batinkoff, and Keri Russell) and a nice curve at the end (see what I did there).

The most underrated great movie of the Eighties is "True Confessions," starring Robert DeNiro and Robert Duvall, including great performances by Rose Gregorio, Charles Durning and Ken McMillan.

E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
