Hey. Do a lot of movie collecting (yeah. That seems like a 'safe' way to put it) and always looking out for movies that don't get a lot of press or marketing or just miss the limelight completely.
If any of you guys have seen movies that are recent (i.e last few years), are pretty good and that aren't mainstream can you let us know as I'm always looking for good movies to consume and hate 90% of the tripe coming out of hollywood.
Here's a few films you guys might be interested in I've seen that didn't really get a lot or any attention out here. I'll list them from what I consider best to worst.....
Rocknrolla - DRAMA - A Guy Ritchie film that is better then Snatch and Lock Stock put together. Has the best character in a film since Tyler Durden.
Frequently asked questions about time travel - COMEDY - Exactly what movies should be. A low budget, fun, engaging and funny story set in a British pub with 3 mates. Probably the best and easiest to consume movie on this list.
The Damned United - DRAMA - Great movie about Brian Clough's reign as manager of Leeds United. One of those British movies where the drama, comedy and wit all blend perfectly.
Hot Rod - COMEDY - If you like Will Ferrell you should love this movie. If you don't, you'll hate it. He was originally slated to play the role of a young terrible stunt man who needs to raise enough money to pay for the surgery his step dad requires.
Attack The Block - SCI-FI - Aliens attack a residential council block in South London and a few of the thug teenage residents take them on.
Alpha Dog - DRAMA - A young drug dealer has an enemies brother kidnapped. Based on a true story. Makes it even scarier.
American Teen - DOCO - A documentary made about life in a mid-west high school from the perspective of the queen bee, head jock, alternative freak and nerdy dork.
Fix - DRAMA - A young idealistic guy, along with his girlfriend, documents the day he transports his junkie brother to a rehab clinic.
The Mist - HORROR - Based on a Stephen King book. Pretty low budget. But it works. Especially the ending.
The Story Of Anvil - DOCO - About a metal band who were expected to be massive but never hit the big time. Contrived in many parts. But still interesting enough.
Boy - DRAMA/COMEDY - A kiwi film set in the 80's.
Eagle vs Shark - COMEDY - One of those black comedies that you'll either love or hate. NZ Movie as well with the dudes from Flight Of the Conchords. Has the most un P.C fight scene in history.
Take Me Home Tonight - COMEDY - Light rom/com to watch with the girlfriend if watching another Kate Hudson movie will make you want to kill someone. Set in the 80's, about a college grad who goes back to his home town to work in a video store while trying to figure out what he'll do with his life.
The Combination - DRAMA - Aussie movie caused a lot of problems and got taken out of cinemas after fights. It's about lebanese. Wasn't that bad. Especially compared to alot of the crap Aussies make.
