Do you have a favorite movie that no one else has heard of?

I'd have to go with Dead Alive or Bad Taste by Peter Jackson. I haven't met too many people who have seen these movies, but they're very excellent. Better than his Lord of the Ring movies, easily.

If you want to see Zombies giving birth, and vomit being eaten you should check out these movies.
 
Torpedo Run.

It's about a US Navy submarine in WWII that hunts down a Japanese battleship protected by civilian transport ships.

Too hokey to be considered a serious war movie.
 
Bad Taste was hilarious - Klos, you should also check out 'Meet the Feebles', Jackson's R rated Muppets rip-off.

Pi and Dead Man come to mind, but I don't think they qualify as seen by no-one.

The Italian Job....the original one!

I cant find it in any of the video rental stores around here!:(


I have seen it before, but check Walmart. The ones around us have it.


My movie:
The Emperor's New Groove. Not many people see it because it's supposedly a kid's movie. I laugh at that. :D
 
I wouldn't call them my favorite but they were pretty funny typical 80's movie. I think they were movies? I just happen to catch them on late night t.v

The Specials

I Love You, Don't Touch Me!
 
I don't know if these qualify as "no one's ever seen them", but here goes:

Dark Star - space weirdos whose job it is to blow up "unstable" planets have to catch an alien beach ball loose in their ship, and deal with an existentialist bomb

Evil Dead series - stupid but funny sendup of horror movies

My Dinner With Andre - I didn't think a 90 minute movie of a real-time dinner conversation would be interesting, either

Head - the Monkees movie. Better than the show, even, and features a cameo of Frank Zappa telling the Monkees that they really need to focus on being musicians more

Brimstone and Treacle - a great movie starring Sting in a really disturbing role. Made before his awful preformance in Dune; in between he must have suffered a head injury and totally forgotten how to act, but in this one he's great - and I hate Sting

Raising Arizona - the movie that gave us Nicolas Cage, Molly Hunter, and John Goodman, truly hilarious

The Bedford Incident - honest-to-goodness, gripping drama made in the early '60s about a Cold War duel between a US cruiser and a Soviet sub

Koyannasqatsi - not sure if I spelled it right. Atmospheric Phillip Glass soundtrack flows through a plotless, dialogueless movie that sets time-lapse images of modern urban humanity against images of third world poverty. Blunt and heavy-handed in its indictment of Western culture, but visually compelling nonetheless

That will do for now.

[edit] Hey, Boom - I saw Billy Budd! Is that the original black and white version with Terence Stamp?

That's a true classic, I got it recorded on vhs. Countrymusic all the way throughout the movie.

When talking about Peter Jackson, don't forget "Braindead". At the time it was launched it had the world record of most amount of fake blood used in a single scene.

[edit] I'll throw in "The Rutles" Quite funny 70's parody on Beatles w a few of the Monty Python members

I havent seen ANY of those films but they sound pretty interesting !! Has anyone seen

the cube?​
 
Since we're talking about samurai movies in another thread, I'll chime in with Akira Kurosawa's Shichinin no samurai (Seven Samurai), 1954.

Its the story of a small Japanese village that hire a group of master-less samurai to protect them from a group of bandits intent on pillaging their town.

This film is a true masterpeice. Filled with beautiful cinematography, a moving story and unforgettable characters. Forget Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick. This is the way to make a samurai movie.

Also excellent. Unfortunately it's a fine line in this thread between "movies no one's ever seen" and "movies that used to be famous but no one under 30 has ever seen".

Damn, that generation gap. Those young-un's are missing out.

I've seen The Cube. It was a pretty cool movie. :)


I'm sure plenty have seen it, but I just love In The Army Now. Hilarious. :D

Me and my little sister watch Meet the Feebles almost everytime we spend time together.. Why that didn't win 8 Oscars is beyond me :lol:

That's the alternate name to Dead Alive. Or the other way around.

It's called Dead Alive in the US, and Braindead just about everywhere else.

Ok that explains it. I thought it was strange that noone mentioned it.
 
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I loved this movie when I was a kid, and I still love it. Very funny flick.
 
Ahhh... Yes, "He's kicked the Bucket." and "It's under the big W."

As for favorite movies that no one has seen, My wife still wonders why I love watching "Big Trouble in Little China"

man i saw this film years ago.....the scene where they pass about the bowl of alien vomit and have to drink it is funny...especially when the guy likes it and starts to drink it all instead of passing it on...

the special effects are dire though....but its funny as hell and tragically crap....


i like Gothic by Ken Russell....anyone seen it?
