I can't remember the last time Planes, Trains, and Automobiles came up in a conversation.
It's not a fantastic film but I remember it being pretty good and very well received.
It always stuck in my mind because of the scene where they say "f**k" several times, earning it an R rating.
Just one random scene out of nowhere that got them adult rating.
IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS
To me, the best horror movie and one of the most notable works of Carpenter. I rarely hear it mentioned, and most people I know didn't even watched it.
SUPER TROOPERS
My favorite comedy of all times. I'm still in the mission of finding a single person in real life who actually likes it. I bet that, someday, one random and extremely boring stand-up "comedian" will steal a joke and launch the movie into a more wide audience.
VERY BAD THINGS
This movie is dark and hilarious, and most people never even heard of it.
VAMPIRE'S KISS
One of the best, if not the best, Nicholas Cage movie. I actually read people saying that it is "unintentional funny" when it's oficially labelled as a dark comedy, that's how far its obscurity goes.
ED WOOD
Even when reading lists about Tim Burton and / or Johnny Depp, you won't see this movie listed very often. I think it's because it's a little bit anti-Hollywood, with its message of "you won't become millonarie and famous in your lifetime, even if you try really hard".

I thought VAMPIRE'S KISS was hilarious.
ED WOOD? Martin Landau won an Oscar-so, I wouldn't say nobody talks about it...
I don't think the real Ed got screwed because he had no talent- Hollywood is filled to the brim with folks with no talent. But not with directors in the 1950's who open hired homosexual's, cross dressers, and a drug addled Lugosi. And wore angora sweaters on the set. Contrary to popular belief, Lugosi was aware of Ed's odd kinks, just as Ed was aware of Bela's drug habit. But they had a friendship based on desperation.
Here are a few:
THE CONVERSATION (1974) - Excellent movie with Gene Hackman as a surveillance expert who records a conversation that makes him question the morality of what he's doing. The supporting cast includes John Cazale, Harrison Ford, Frederick Forrest, Cindy Williams and Robert Duvall (uncredited).
THE WAGES OF FEAR (1953) and the remake SORCERER (1977) - Very suspenseful movies about a bunch of random guys hired to drive trucks full of nitroglycerin across miles of rough terrain in South America to blow out an oil fire. Both are great and I love the endings.
STRAIGHT TIME (1978) - This movie is based on a book written by Eddie Bunker (a real ex-convict who appeared in RESERVOIR DOGS). Dustin Hoffman stars as ex-convict Max Dembo, who is out on parole. His parole officer (M. Emmett Walsh, in one of his best roles) is a real a***ole. The supporting cast includes Gary Busey as a junkie, Harry Dean Stanton, Theresa Russell and Kathy Bates.
THE SILENT PARTNER (1978) - Elliott Gould plays a Canadian bank teller who finds out his bank is about to be robbed, so he takes some money for himself knowing the robber will be blamed for it. The robber (Christopher Plummer, a psycho in a Santa Claus suit) finds out and proceeds to terrorize Gould. The supporting cast includes Susannah York and . . . John Candy!

Me and Tiana watched FATAL ATTRACTION again about a week ago.
Glenn Close is nuts. " I will not be ignored!" :buggedout:
that was really the turning point
Great movie. Tiana is in love with Micheal Douglas...so we watch it at least once a year.
so am I. He made some awesome movies. the Game was insane
on borrowed time. i love this movie( thanks again to bob for helping me find a decent copy!) , and even the folks i know that love lionel barrymore have never heard of it.

Fatal attraction
I think this is one of the first movies I saw an "alternate ending" for.
Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (1974)
Robinson Crusoe (1954)
Tombs of the Blind Dead (1972)
Vanishing Point (1971)

Mister Frost (1990)
A wonderful little supernatural thriller starring Jeff Goldblum as a murderer who's been arrested and committed to an asylum. He claims to be Satan himself and given some of the strange things that surround him, he could very well be telling the truth. Even among Goldblum fans this is rarely mentioned which is a pitty because he puts in quite the performance.

It is rare but not forgotten and usually pops up in threads like this. Mr. Frost has been brought to the attention of indie labels many times, but it appears to be stuck in a weird right issues loop preventing a DVD or blu-ray release.
I've rented this back in VHS days and it used to be on youtube for some time. Great little thriller indeed.

NOBODY even talks about it...
THE SPIRIT(2008): A Frank Miller production featuring the noirish comic character by Will Eisner. The script is crap but the cast is great! Featuring Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johansson as supervillains just before their AVENGERS fame and Eva Mendes, who appears gloriously nude in one scene. Jaime King as appears as the embodiment of Death herself(but very sexy)
Done in black & white like SIN CITY, it was released Christmas of 2008 and dropped out of sight, but it's a fave of mine, nonetheless.

Yes, and its 1956 remake, Nightmare, with Kevin McCarthy in the lead, is unjustly neglected.

No. It was bad.
Good cast, nice visuals, but the movie itself was pretty horrible.
It also seemed to really miss the point of the comic. Will Eisner's Spirit could be Noir, but it also had a goofy style with a nice dose of cheesecake mixed in. The movie just treated the whole things far too seriously.

We've talked about it here once or twice...
That argument may apply to every movie mentioned in the thread.
Even among diehard B-Movie types, I rarely see discussion of so-called "Eurospy" movies of the '60s like "008: Operation Exterminate," "Deadlier Than the Male," "Special Mission Lady Chaplin," etc.

If you like that one I highly recommend the Deadly Fiends Collection and Blood Red Nights Collection from Pop Flix. Each has 4 giallos on them with great transfers. They sell for about $10 each on eBay. Death Laid an Egg is on one of them but I forget which one.

heard of those movies.

Hah! I myself only started digging into that particular sub-genre within the last couple of years. Prior to that I knew next to nothing about 'em either... but as it turns out, Eurospy movies are like potato chips, you can't have just one. :D
If you like the Connery-era James Bond, you might get a kick out of some of those knockoffs I mentioned.
I recommend "Deadlier Than the Male" in particular, cuz it captured Elke Sommer at her absolute
peak of hottie perfection.
