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.

Ang Lee's "Ride with the Devil" (1999) a pretty decent Civil War flick. Same goes for Kevin Costner's "Open Range" (2003) also a good western.
Just two off the top of my head. I'm sure I'll think of more.

The Fall: The setting is old-time Hollywood; a stuntman has an accident which leaves him paralized. He wants to end his life. He makes a friend of a little Mexican girl who is in the same hospital. An interesting movie. I found myself thinking a lot about it after seeing it in a little independent theatre & finally went & bought the dvd.

“The Duelists” 1977. Ridley Scott's first feature film, very beautiful like many of this movies. I think it opened in only a handful of theaters, being considered “arty”.
Harvey Keitel as the obsessed French Hussar is pretty good, although Mrs. Slim hates it when I call it “Reservoir Frogs”.

"The Shooting Party" which was, I believe the last film James Mason made. It's about a group of the English upper class gathering on an estate just before WWI. There is strong sense that their world is changing and their time is passing. I think it relates to today in many ways.
I also like "Blow Up" by Antonioni. It's pretty well known, but it was made 45 years ago and I suspect many have not seen it. Interesting look at London in the 1960s before the real drug and hippy aspects kicked in. It looks at art and our awareness of what is around us, and our tendency to be bored no matter what is going on. An amusing scene has The Yardbirds playing in a nightclub, both Jimmie Page and Jeff Beck playing guitar, and Beck smashing his guitar This, in 1966, was not common behavior. But everyone in the audience is bored to death. Just a statement on how humans tend to want whatever they don't have, and to be bored by what they do have.

“Jeykll and Hyde Together Again”
A comedy remake of the classic set in modern times. It is hilarious.

My favorite is called “Larry Sinclair’s Ride.”
It takes place in the backseat of a limo, and co-stars Senator Barry Soetoro.
The supporting cast includes a crack pipe.

The Station Agent is a sweet movie about folks who think they want to be left alone.
Equilibrium is a terrific movie about a controlled population, and how the desire for freedom is always there, bubbling under the surface. Nice eye candy for the ladies, too, with Christian Bale and Sean Bean. ;o)
Belizaire the Cajun is about a Cajun medicine man who is accused of murder; excellent performances and a great story.
And a chick flick, Enchanted April starring the marvelous Joan Plowright.

The Southerner, Jean Renoir, 1945 much better than Grapes of Wrath and it captures a long forgotten part of American culture in the 1930s.
Here it is free at youtube.
