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.
In the Pianist, (based on true WW-2 story) Adrien Brody was great too, even if it was directed by the pervert Roman Polanski.
Bronson fan, huh? Then I recommend
Mr. Majestyk
Yes, that's the one. The beach ball alien scene was by far my most favorite of the whole movie. Remember it tapping it's foot?
“Rolling Thunder” - William Devane and a very young Tommy Lee Jones kick some border slime azz.
The Steel Helmet - Gene Evans and Korea
New movie: Javier Bardem is outstanding in “Bitiful”
Robert Duvall is out of character in “Assassination Tango” but handles it well.
Big Fish. Tall tales told by a father are an embarrassment to his adult son, but the stories turn out to be based on truth and the son understands their meaning as his father passes away.
The Miracle of Marcelleno also known as Marcelleno, Pan a Vino is a post WWII movie about an Italian orphan and a monestary.
It is about a little boy who wants to find his mom.
Makes me cry everytime.
The Pentagon Wars
His best movie, IMO. Hard to beat the supporting cast, too. Gene Hackman and Fred Thompson are always excellent.
I am glad you mentioned the 1953 “Martin Luther.” I haven’t seen it in years. I need to watch it again.
I am thankful for the Joseph Fiennes version of Luther because it helped stoke my daughter’s interest in Christian history and theology.
Gardens of Stone
Aloha Bobby and Rose
How the West was Won
He was willing to go anywhere on his quest for the real killer ;-)
Governor to aide: “If we ever get this thing worked out properly, I will see to it that you work in the post office for the rest of your natural life!”
Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin and Elle MacPherson
This movie works on several levels and Hopkins and Baldwin (yeah, I know you hate the guy) are both great.
Comedy - Bowfinger
***Waking Ned Divine
both of those movies deserved to be far more popular. I actually bought “Big Fish” on DVD and that is rare for me.
“Breaking Away” was one of the best movies I have ever seen.
both had some great subtle humor. “refund! refund!”.
13 Assassins. If you can handle watching a movie with subtitles it is a great martial arts/last stand type movie. Imagine 300 with Samurai and a whole lot more blood.
The Mad Woman of Chaillot with Katherine Hepburn
In the “The Ballad of Cable Hogue,” Stella Stevens is the sexiest woman who ever lived. MAAAAN!
