Best (forgotten) movies ever?
 

We all have our favourite movies that seem to come to mind whenever we're talking about favourite movies, but what are some of your "forgotten" faves? Movies that make you go, yeah I remember that one... what a great flick!

Here are a couple of mine...

1950 - Sunset Boulevard
(Gloria Swanson was incredible in this)

1979 - Being There
(Peter Sellars last movie... you gotta see this...)

Matt Dillion in RUMBLE FISH

I agree with Aly
 

That was one funny movie Aly.

My favorite movie of all time was North and South.

Kind of long, but you can't agrue with a Clark Gable movie.

Fäbojäntan....an old swedish classic adult movie from the 70´s :)

Got to love that one.

Fast Time At Ridgemout High

The Pink Panther
Sterile Cuckoo
To Sir With Love
A Hard Days Night
Yellow Submarine
Duck Soup

oh, can't forget Pale Rider

Cool Hand Luke
The Jericho Mile

UHF

Oh, and please don't take that seriously... I hate Wierd Al.

I love going here: http://us.imdb.com/top_250_films to find out all the oldies that are highly rated and then download/rent the movies. I just never got into the pre-80's movies until recently. Just saw Citizen Kane this year.

It amazes me how they rate Shawshank Redemption as the #2 movie of all time. I really loved it, but c'mon - #2?

hershie.... I had a look at that list and I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it.
Some good movies in there, but the order is questionable.

I watched "The Crying Game" last night. Hadn't seen it since it first came out. Great movie....

If you grew up with dorky parents like mine you got a lot of quirky British movies from the 50s and 60s.

Tom Jones (actually won an oscar for best picture!)
The Wrong Box
Papillion
The Great Escape
The Longest Day

Some forgotten movies from the last 2 decades:

Wings of Desire
Until the End of the World
Hamburger Hill
Once Were Warriors

Good stuff! I saw some of Kentucky Fried Movie on cable and it was pretty hilarious. Airplane! was on Comedy Central last night as well.

These two movies were excellent. Some other ones :
Top Secret
Z (I saw that one a couple years ago, I HAVE to see it again)
Predator (don't laugh, it's fucking great hehe)

Full Metal Jacket
The Breakfast Club

Anyone at all remember a move titled "the hills have eyes"?

Keep on Rockin'

isn't it an old horror movie where the bad guy is really fucking ugly and bald and skinny ?

The Great Dictator
Charley Chaplin

Why would anybody laugh? That's a kick ass movie.

You know, I hate Arnold Republicanegger, but he's made some of my all time favorite movies... Conan the Barbarian, Predator, Total Recall, The Running Man, Terminator... all great fuckin movies.

JAWS, 1975! Shut up! I LOVE this movie! :blush:

That's the movie that placed Steven Spielberg on the map, and it won the oscar for the best picture in 75, not bad :)

Anyone else like war movies?

Remember Kelly's Heros? It was mostly a comedy, though...
But a forgotten classic!

I'm going to have to rent Kentucky Fried Movie now... hehehe

always with the negative vibes, Moriarity


great flick for sure. Was actually an anti-war flick as Vietnam was raging at the time. A couple other good war movies in that era were Catch-22 and M.A.S.H.

Sarge.... don't call me "Barbara"! It's BABRA! :)

History of the World and The Holy Grail do it for me ;)

You had to go and start another movie thread didn't you! :D

Le Guerre Des Tuques !
hehe

PErsonally, I like Amazon Women From Mars

a funny b-movie which whenever it plays (and it does rarely unfortunately) I always get around to make sure I watch it
:bonk: :bonk:

You mean Amazon Women on the Moon?

Oh God! Part Two

:cool:

WHA?!?!?OH great now ya got me confused. I can't remember and it's gonan kill me for the rest of the day. Trying to remember what the title was. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!


hehehehehe:D :bonk: :D

The Shining !

I guess I'm not old enough to have seen movies that I've forgot about already. hehe

Luke, as long as you think young (and I believe you do)... you'll be all right... LOL

Hey anyone remember "Them"? A low budget sci-fi about giant ants attacking the world?

I just love "Wag The Dog" and "Shining"

really great actors...

Anybody ever seen that old horror flick Demons? THAT's a good forgotten movie... about a bunch of kids who get locked up in a movie theater while everyone is turning into demons. It's great.
