Underappreciated flicks

And that was by far his biggest role before "Hiding Out."

Three years later he was reduced to playing "3rd Frat Boy" in "Penn and Teller Get Killed."

 

Loved his beard in that movie. Funniest thing in it.

 

if you were in school when pretty in pink hit the big screen, it was fucking awesome. i watch it now and giggle a little bit, but i still can remember its awesomeness.

 

The Boondock Saints
Two Days in the Valley (Greatest. Catfight. Ever.)
True Romance


Not that these are obscure, but they're on my personal fave lists.

 

I watched Clockers again the other night (I heard the dude the played Wee-Bey in The Wire was in it and I wanted to see who he was) and I forgot just how good it was

 

Silent Partner. Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer.

The Taking of Palarm 1-2-3. Robert Shaw. I think Karl Mauldin.

Conspiracy Theory. Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts.

Three Days of the Condor. Robert Redford.

For the comedy inspired
Kelly's Heroes. Donald Sutherland, Clint Eastwood, host of others.

 

Has anyone mentioned "Southern Comfort" yet?

A dozen or so Louisiana National Guardsmen get lost in the swamps in the early 1970s, run afoul of the local Cajun population, and are hunted down one-by-one. A not-so-thinly-veiled Vietnam allegory.

Great performances by Keith Carradine, Fred Ward and Powers Boothe, with Brion James as a one-armed Cajun trapper.

I heard Brad Renfro was really good in "The Client."

 

How about some love for "Nothing To Lose". Yeah, it's a tried buddy formula, but the whole "You shut the fuck up" scene is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen.

 

who?

 

You know, this guy...
