Good movies that no-one knows about

We all know about the normal good movies...the blockbuster smashes but what about the Foriegn/Limited/Small movies that no one has heard of? This may be a dupe, but I was just looking for some good movies to watch that are maybe a little different or something cool that I had never heard before

Better Luck Tomorrow. It got so little publicity, and yet manages to be so good.

If I've got my head straight your talking about that MTV sponsered movie which got a lot of publicity on MTV, VH1, etc, so at least those 5 million teens that watch TRL and other shit know about Better Luck Tomorrow...

Well, Interstate 60 comes to mind. Limited release, but a perfect 10/10 in my book. One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Better Luck Tommorow was awful...I really found the movie stupid and boring...

And if nobody knew about the film, how would they know if it was good or not?

Equilibruim
Battle Royale
Donnie Darko


there are plenty...I can't think of anymore

There are a few films in recent years that I had only heard about through word of mouth and on the internet, so I don't think they were really advertised...

May
Requiem For a Dream
Donnie Darko
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Poolhall Junkies

There are a ton of others, but those are all I can think of at the moment

The only film so far that i have not heard of is Y Tu Mama Tambien... any good?

For fairly unknown films, check out some of the limited release films groups put out. Films such as Tape which is very different from your average flick and quite good in my opinion.

Tape, Spun, Lockdown, Just A Kiss, Final, Lovely & Amazing, Tadpole, ZigZag, Playaz Court... just to name a few.

Not all overly unknown or neccesarily films i would recommend, but everybody has different taste so thought id list a whole range. But what most of them have in common is the limited releasing and very different styles they are done in.

I have a huge list of my limited/foriegn releases that are fairly unknown somewhere as they are the type of movies i usually go for. I'll post some more, perhaps better, films if i get the chance.

Putting the fun in fundie

Cube is on the border of mainstream/obscurity and is a great flick.

As for REALLY obscure, but great: Child's Play

IMDB listing

No, not the one about the Chucky doll, but a really cool "what the hell is going on here, and what is this all about?" flick. It was a Hammer house of Mystery and suspense made for TV job, but it still stands out as one of those films that had me glued to the screen.

Y Tu Mama Tambien was great, probably one of the best coming of age movies I've ever seen. I like Om3n's mention of Tadpole; it had a set of nice laughs and situations...

Twas a tv movie...on FX, right? I remember seeing ads in Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, etc...so it had a bit of advertising.

I think a lot of people know about 100 Girls...

if you like cheesy 70's and 80's horror films, check out the Sleepaway Camp Trilogy and The Lost Boys.

Whale rider started off fairly unknown screening around film festivals, and im not too sure about other countries. But here in Australia the Partick Rafter Foundation screened it pretty much nationally at the begining of the year as a fund raiser with1/3 price tickets. So i'd say that was a pretty well know film.

Pretty well made movie, One New Zealand should be proud of.

haha a lot of people hated May (or at least hated it up until the last 30 minutes or so), I loved every minute of it, it's a great film.
