Default 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

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

Off the top of my head:
Rodger Dodger
The Barbarian Invasions <-- I give this one 5/5 stars. /edit i guess that might be an exageration, but its really good.
Horseman on the Roof
Bon Voyage

I got Netflix a few days ago and posted two of my three DVDs at 4:30pm yesterday. 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! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, here's a few underrated or under-appreciated flicks from about ten years ago:

Red Rock West
One False Move
The Last Seduction

I'm getting Sleuth next and remember enjoying that when I saw it many years ago.

The Ogre. Malkovich as a kind of anti-Forrest Gump Frenchman during the German takeover in WW2.
