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.

Here ya go.

Duane Eddy - Ring of Fire (Soundtrack Version 1961)
“THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY”
Funniest movie ever!
“Take him the the helicopter!”
“Aiii yaiii, yaiii, yaiii, yaiii,!”
“I don’t want to talk about it!”
My son & nephew watched that time after time one summer and memorized most of the dialog.
“How did the Land Rover get in the tree?”
“I don’t want to talk about it!”
“Did you know that she has flowers on her panties?”
“So THAT”S how the Land Rover got in the tree!”
[not exactly what you are thinking]
“That’s a wait-a-minute bush! You must not mess with a wait-a-minute bush!”
I was always scouring the rental places for period films, foreign films, and anything that piqued my interest. For some reason, Oriental never appealed to me, but I liked the Bridge over the River Kwai.
“Brazil”. Anyone who says it’s a comedy is in denial.
Primer.
Excellent indie
Won Sundance
Made for about 10K
all about computer engineers
What’s not to like?
Watch it with friends.
You will need to talk about it and see it twice.
When I saw this thread, I thought of “A Man Called Peter.” My all-time favorite western is “The Ballad of Cable Hogue.”
Eclectic choices.
The Three Burials of Melquiades - Tommy Lee Jones, Barry Pepper and Dwight Yoakam
Snow Walker - Barry Pepper, Annabella Piugattuk, and James Cromwell
Luther - Joseph Fiennes, Peter Ustinov, and Bruno Ganz
Winter’s Bone - Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, and Garret Dillahunt
Bloodworth - Val Kilmer, Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam, and Hilary Duff
Tomorrow - Robert Duvall, Olga Bellin, Sudie Bond, Peter Masterson, and Johnny Mask
Intruder in the Dust - David Brian, Claude Jarman Jr., Will Geer, and Juano Hernandez
A more current pick would be “Goodnight, Mr. Tom.”
Is that the movie where one guy dies as a shooting star —> “what a beautiful way to die”?
An epic classic!
“The Gods Must be Crazy”
Mpudi: [looking at Steyn in a suit] And why are you so beautiful?
Steyn: I’m going to the school to give her these.
Mpudi: You gonna look like that?
Steyn: Like what?
Mpudi: Like it’s a funeral. You’ve gotta smile and tell her she looks good.
Steyn: How are you an expert on women?
Mpudi: I got seven wives. How many you got?
Steyn: Why aren’t you at home with them?
Mpudi: I know how to marry them. Nobody knows how to live with them.
Steyn: So, what did you marry them for?
Mpudi: Someday I have to tell you the facts of life...
“Yessir that’s my baby”
Great movie. Classic Robards.
I’ll add “The Great Santini”. Duvall chews up the scenery, but it’s still a classic.
The Jacket with Adrian Brody.
Excellent movie.
My Aunt and Uncle knew him fairly well. When my Aunt joined her husband and Price for dinner, she chatted and was distracted. Eventually she smiled her delightful smile and asked “Well, Mr Price what do you do for work.” Price was gracious and depreciating and after about ten minutes it came to Auntie that this was Vincent Price. She blushed and stammered sweetly and it was all fine.

I agree, was fairly factual too. The Russian defenders at Brest threw a monkey wrench in Hitler’s easy victory for that segment of the front.
In the initial invasion (Operation Barbarossa) of Russia, most all other defenses quickly collapsed and troops surrendered by the hundreds of thousands. But not at Brest, they literally fought to the last man.
