-- Good movies that no-one knows about (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=23032)

Groundhog Day
The Boiler Room
The Man Who Knew Too Little

Bill Murray has made some good comedies, Groundhog Day was probably one of the most underrated comedies of the 90s.

Everybody knows about Groundhog Day.
I liked it, but got tired of the same humor over and over by the time it finished.

Its about a former drug dealer who starts a new life but his past catches up with him. Lots of blood and gore but well directed!!

Versus:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0275773

This one is kinda horror action move that invovles zombies,but its also well directed!!

Meet the feebles:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0097858

Its one of peter jacksons first movies. It all puppets but really funny and weird. Definitly worth a watch in my opinon.

i cant think of any others right now but let me think over night and get back to ya. But if u havent seen these movies check them out asap.

a friend told me to rent a movie today so i did, just watched it and it was really good. i had never heard of it and i dont recal anyone ever talking about it but its called The Experiment (Das Experiment) its a german movie

too bad it wasn't dubbed in english but if you dont mind the subs you should check it out and besides its the kind of movie where the dialog isn't too important cause what you see is pretty much self explanitory

and its also based on a true story (i love those)

... there are more good movies out there than you can think of, it's a sad thing most peeps dont know how to read subbies or understand film from pre-1990. you only limit yourself.

Nice selection....

I just prefer not to read subs, it can spoil the experience of watching a film if you have to sit there and read at the same time.

[Edit]

Of corse, subs are always prefered over dubs.

How about Ringu, Original jap version of 'The Ring'
Cult Horror films.. there is also a Ringu 2 and more recently a Ringu 0 which is actually a prequel to the original.

Dubbed english is usually pretty horrid and can botch the enjoyment of a film. For example, I was watching Intacto last week, and while I wanted to watch with subs, I was out-voted and we had to watch it dubbed. The voice acting was terrible and was the only drawback of the film, which I would have otherwise been thoroughly caught up in. If you can't handle subs, because maybe you can't read or you have problems doing more than one thing at a time, then by all means cheat the integrity of the film by dubbing in poorly acted voice-overs.

I actually love subtitles. So much so that I'll watch normal TV with closed captions turned on. They help a lot when you miss something that someone said due to accents, sound effects, music, someone sneezing, etc.

i hate this new fuckin trend of calling Ring - "Ringu". nobody called it "Ringu" until the remake was made, so why change its name just so less idiots are confused?

i don't see westerners talking about Batoru rowaiaru (Battle Royale) so why call ring "Ringu". you're not japanese.

1. Thats what it said on the DVD cases
2. It is pronounced Ring in english but spelt Ringu because of the simple fact that it is a japanese film and thats the way it was chosen to be spelt. (yes, i pronounce it ring)

And if you don't believe me, check imdb, the official titles are spelt with the u on the end. Since they are japanese films, ill spell em with the official and japanese titles.

And they subbed not dubbed, i hate dubbed films.

Settle down Mr.pHo
