good overlooked movies
Was just thinking in lieu of the video thread that I'd start one listing overlooked films I love..
The Legend of 1900: easily one of the best films ever made The Zatoichi "Blind Swordsman" series (not the recent remake) City Of Lost Children Gummo Soldaat van Oranje Last edited by Jared at Pelican Parts; 01-13-2006 at 08:45 PM.. |

Definately not overlooked, but a much oved film is this one.
http://www.brickfilms.com/filmview.php?filmID=1497&redirect=true The beggining is a bit hard to watch, but they where very good at what they where doing from then on!

Tears Of The Sun
Kingdom of Heaven The Beast Of War - Saw this one just tonight. Probably not destined to become a classic, but a pretty good movie just the same. Randy

I do have to add, anything by the "Marx Bros" because I think they are getting overlooked as time moves forward. Ensemble Comedy at its' best, recycled in the many sitcoms, Movies....etc. Like a Boomerang, everything comes around.. and around...

Manhunter is a great movie...better than the follow-on Lecter movies.
