FILM: Overlooked Movies
FINALLY I get netflix. I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of crap that I've put off becuase the wife forces me to watch "Sylvia" and junx rather than some random Brazilian 60's spy flick or whatever.
I'd love to hear some people's favorite obscure and rarely-viewed or rarely-discussed movies. I've seen just about everything made in the 90's but either way, thanks in advance. My top 5 Completely Underrated Movies: 1. Deathwatch 2. Roadracers 3. Amongst Friends 4. eXistenZ 5. Angel Heart |

Re: FILM: Overlooked Movies
Criterion finally just released Mike Leigh's NAKED, one of the best films ever made. 1993, won Best Director at Cannes. I'm obsessed.

I was amazed to see that they already got these two DVD's back and will be shipping the next two in my queue today. Sort of wonder if they pick up directly from the post office!

Re: FILM: Overlooked Movies
this movie is not as "underground/indie" as most of the ones mentioned, but Requiem For A Dream is overlooked. most ppl i know have not seen it and that's a crime!

Re: FILM: Overlooked Movies
It's not that simple.
Netflix customers are handled more slowly if they rent a lot of movies per month. I have waited a few days for Netflix to acknowledge films sent back, and days more to get new ones sent out. They REALLY penalize you after a while if you use their service heavily. I have had Ninja Scroll at the top of my movie queue for about five or six months now. |
