In Reply to: Re: How about a short list of obscure movies which are great. posted by grinagog on May 23, 2005 at 19:28:29:
"Where's Poppa" - 1970 jet-black comedy which could never be made in today's PC background. Carl Reiner, George Segal, Trish VanDever, Ruth Gordon, Ron Leibman."The Missouri Breaks" - An Arthur Penn directed eccentric western with Brando, Nicholson, Harry Dean Stanton, Randy Quaid, Fredric Forrest. A minor masterpiece. Another film which would be impossible to reproduce because of animal rights violated in spectacular "stunts". Brilliant performances.
Follow Ups:
At th3e top of my list of the worst westerns ever made. A good friend and I were dying to see it when it came out, given the talent. We were incredibly disapointed.
OK. I must be mistaken. I won't watch that one anymore, yielding to your superior taste and judgement.
Vice Squad, the nastiest, grittiest little police thriller you'll ever find and one that introduces one to a "pimp stick" and an exceptional character actor, Wings Hauser; Hollywood Shuffle, a hilarious, brilliantly written and acted film about the travails of talented Afro-Americans trying to break into films: many future stars got their first role in it (introduces one to the term, "hocakes").
Hidden, though it's become a cult classic of sorts is definitely worth seeing: an alien addicted to punk rock music and Ferraris? Yeah!
