Underappreciated flicks

"Diner." Seriously, I know no one who saw it in the theater.

One of my all-time favorites is "Local Hero." Love that flick.

 

Great flick. My roommate in college punched the mustache off a guy at a bar. This local's only offense? Calling "Diggstown" a "gay, B-movie."

 

Saw Tombstone the other night for the first time and I was pissed that I hadn't seen it yet. I don't usually like westerns but I liked it a lot.

 

My last film I suggested is among my three favorites.

But, to me, another underappreciated film was "Life As A House." Proof that Hayden Christiansen can do much more than Anakin Skywalker. Kevin Kline was outstanding as well.

 

NIGHT. OF. THE. COMET.



"Daddy would have gotten us Uzis."

 

I'll throw in another Scorcese film that is widely ignored - "After Hours." One of my favorites.

 

Loved Big Fish.

 

I want to second "Murder by Death" mentioned earlier. I saw that as a pre-teen on cable TV with my friends and we all loved it. Saw it again on cable when I was in my 20s and it was just as hilarious as I remembered.

Re "Tombstone": I never thought of it as underappreciated, but it is my favorite western by far.

 

But, Pencil, it quickly became a cult classic, in the early days of HBO and premium channels. An amazing cast with great dialogue.

Kevin Bacon/Fenwick: "We pulled over on the side of a lonely road. I told her, 'Fuck or fight.'"

Michael Tucker/Bagel: "Always a dreamer, eh, Boog?"
Mickey Rourke/Boogie: "If ya ain't got dreams ... you got nightmares."

Tim Daly/Billy, confronting a drunk in the lockup: "You wanna fight? You wanna fight, you sonofabitch? I'll hit you so hard, I'll kill your whole family."

Paul Reiser/Modell: "You know a word I'm not comfortable with? Nuance. Now gesture, that's a good word. You know where you stand with gesture."

Great flick. Ellen Barkin doesn't hurt, either.

 

good call. I love this movie
