What movie do you love that most people never heard of or seen? Mine is a movie called "Evenhand". I first saw it on IFC, then ordered a copy from Amazon. It is about two policemen in a small Texas town. One is meek and kind while the other is hard. They form a unlikley friendship. It is more plot driven, with little violence. The writing is pretty good.

The kicker for me was the Ku Klux Klan Rally. The music and choreography - breathtaking. Reminded me of the witches palace guards marching in Wizard of OZ

Anyway, Ring of Fire (1960) with David Jannsen and Joyce Taylor. Local sheriff versus two bit punks. The forest fire with the old locomotive & cars evacuating the townspeople. After everyone is saved, the loco, the cars and the entire trestle crash into a huge ravine. Boy that one jerks me back a few decades!
How about this one.
Dark of the Sun (1968)
The Mercenaries (original title)
A band of mercenaries led by Captain Curry travel through the Congo across deadly terrain, battling rival armies, to rescue $25 million in uncut diamonds.

Although not a box office movie, I always liked Walt Disney’s “The Horse Without A Head”.

An older comedy, Adventures in Babysitting....

Dark Star - 1974, a very low budget first film from John Carpenter and Dan OBannon that is proof you don't need to spend millions of dollars on special effects when hundreds will do. Lots o laughs. I nearly bust a gut on that film! The first "smart bomb"! The beach ball alien!!! I even bought that one though it was hard to find.

Directed by Don Siegel. “The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.”

I’ve seen many of the movies commented on in this thread but bookmarking for others I haven’t for Netflix.
Gaslight is one I DVR’d this morning actually. It is not my favorite movie of all time, but I do like it, and most of my friends have never heard of it.

I think that was a Louis L’more book....a lot of his stories were made into some good westerns....

It stuck in my mind because of the emotional impact; I have a terrible memory not entirely due to getting older. Short term. Good. Long term. Bits and pieces. Well, that describes aging but I was always like that with books and movies, not so much life events. All I remember about that film was that tank which ran rampant which was the centerpiece of the film IIRC (think the villagers finally got the better of it) and poisoning the water supply. But it was so intriguing for some reason, think it was the tactics on both sides.
I guess I didn't pay much attention to the cast either (usually I do that with the main character(s) at least), those names aren't familiar. In light of history, that one would be good to see again or a must see for anyone really into the Afghan war.

The Brest Fortress (2010) is an awesome movie. Saw it a few months ago from a FR thread. Worth sitting through subtitles. Entire movie is available on You Tube at this link;

Those were the Sirens, three temptresses that sang to sailors to call them to their doom. Odysseus, who had the rest of his crew stuff their ears with wax, was tied to the mast...

“White Heat”, starring James Cagney. A very old gangster movie, brilliantly acted, about a psychopathic criminal on a rampage. If Cagney didn’t win an Oscar for that one, he should have.

***I haven’t seen it, but the title reminds me of an obscure but fun movie called “Brother from Another Planet”
