Unappreciated films

[Mailfuckoff]

I am watching Clue for the first time. Tim curry is amazing in it. Its made me proper laugh out loud a couple of times.
What other old films have been forgotten that I might enjoy? I need some light watching :-)

There is a film called Lawless Heart with Douglas Henshall that I love.

One day, my Dad rang me up describing this fantastic film he had watched at random the night before, and it was the same one.

It's a low key little number about the fallout after a sudden death. It's beautiful. Highly underappreciated.

Two slightly offbeat, daft, comic and sweet heist movies - Malcolm (1980s Aussie film) is wonderful if you can get hold of it. Best use of Penguin Cafe Orchestra ever.

In a similar vein is Palookaville, starring a before-he-got-really-irritating Vincent Gallo.

oh and if you want some really good ones.hallmark movies!

The Way, Way Back with Toni Collette, Alison Janey and Steve Carell, a bittersweet drama, though it is a child that’s the main character, bit sad but ultimately uplifting.

A river runs through it
A walk in the woods

Muriels wedding and bridge to terabithia I think are generally unappreciated films

Yes, A River Runs Through It is great, and another Brad Pitt film is Legends of the Fall.

Oh and Strictly Ballroom, it’s usually on the BBC every year before the new series of Strictly.

War On Everyone

The Castle, a fantastically odd Aussie film. It's the vibe.

Oh god I love Strictly Ballroom. I remember going to see it over and over at the cinema as a teenager. I still watch it, it drives dd crazy.

Another vote for I Married an Axe Murderer.

One of my all-time favorite movies that flopped HARD was Oscar. Sylvester Stallone in a campy comedy about 1920s gangsters. It's amazing. And TIM CURRY IS IN IT! His Dr. Poole in Oscar is one of my favorites of all his roles.

Flashbacks of a Fool - of all the films Daniel Craig has ever made, this one hardly gets mentioned yet it's brilliant.

Ooh nothing to add ( sorry that’s rubbish I know!) but thanks op for starting the thread - I’ve saved it for reference for those times when you fancy watching something but don’t know what!

I work for a lady who went to theatre school with Tim Curry. I literally fell to my knees saying "i'm not worthy". Clue is a fucking excellent romp of a film.

DH and I are watching Severance, he's never watched it before but I love it! I've warned him not to expect too much!

Inside I'm Dancing with James McAvoy. Gorgeous, hilarious film.

Another vote for Pleasantville

I had Drop Dead Gorgeous on video 😂
Jerry Maguire is never on telly any more but I seem to remember liking it despite my intense dislike of Tom Cruise. Also likely to sink without trace due to the Spacey effect but American Beauty is a classic, for me.

Birdy - Nicholas Cage and Matthew Modine. I loved this film so much I went to the cinema twice to see it. Nobody I know has ever heard of it.

Cutthroat Island. Hilarious, cheesy tosh. So easy to watch.
Strictly Ballroom and To Wong Foo, thanks for everything. Julie Newmar.

I loved the castle. 'Tell him he's dreaming' is one of my sayings but no one ever gets it
