That flick was a trip. Kept on trying to turn it off but just couldn't.

When I was a kid I liked Time Bandits...

Showed it to my 3 kids not too long ago and the pacing on older movies just isn't the same so they didn't stay interested the entire way...

I played this for my 2 on Saturday. I've shown them some of my other childhood favorites and they loved them. Time Bandits however, I ended up finishing alone. Just doesn't seem to translate to today....

The Ice Harvest:

Great flick! Love most of what John Cusack does. This is set in Wichita, Kansass, btw.

Didn't go through the thread, but I would suggest 'The Royal Tanenbaums' and 'The Life Aquatic.' I guess they were fairly popular, though.

So what you're saying is you like Wes Anderson movies.... me too.

Have you seen Moonrise Kingdom yet? Cool flick.

Is "30 Days of Night" to main stream?

I'll go with "The Train" with Burt Lancaster.
a 1964 movie about WWII French resistance trying to stop a train loaded with stolen Nazi treasure.

i have said this movie on every top movie thread:

Mystery team

Great comedy with donald glover

 

[Chef99]

Continuing in the Burt Lancaster vein, i'll go with 1968's "The Swimmer". Guy decides to swim to his home via his neighbor's swimming pools. Turns out he's got some real problems. Go figure.

Been a very long time since I saw that, but I remember that it was very unusual and that I enjoyed it.

I don't know how many people have seen it or liked it, but I think that "The Claim" is both at least somewhat obscure and underrated.
