dunno if I'd classify this film as "overlooked" but if you haven't seen it, it's a good one.

Re: Highly Recommended (and overlooked) Movies

funny you bring up Sexy Beast. I was just watching a trailer for 44 Inch Chest a couple of days ago here:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/44inchchest/

And it mentioned the writers of this flick also wrote Sexy Beast, so it is on my to-watch list

It looks good from the trailer, also some great actors.

Time Bandits (1981)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081633/

This is an old Terry Gilliam flick. I don't know how many times I watched this on VHS when I was growing up. Very surreal and awesome movie in the Gilliam style. Also Sean Connery is in it a bit, and John Cleese as Robin Hood which is pretty funny. Also David Warner (who is always awesome) as the evil baddieCheck it out.

Not the easiest film to watch but well worth it if you can make it to the end.

Room for Romeo Brass (Eng w/ Paddy Considine)

Yeah i love that line in it where Morell (Paddy Considine) threatens Romeo's dad saying "I will go dark on you" as Romeo's dad kicks the shit out of him

Paradise Now looks interesting I've added it to my list

No shit. When I first saw this back in 1997 half the theatre left with his board and nail act.

Good call - it's a unbelievably good documentary, but not for the faint of heart.
