Highly Recommended (and overlooked) Movies

[floridaorange]

Now is a great time (imo) to catch up on many of the older and lessor known movies, including foreign.

Here are a few movies I really enjoyed that I doubt most people have even heard of:

- Love Liza (Philip Seymour Hoffman)

- State and Main (Excellent writing, perfect for a Sunday afternoon)

- Life is Beautiful (Very enjoyable film)

Tzameti (13) - see it before the remake comes out. Slow to start, but once it gets to the house, the movie reveals a really twisted sense of simplicity.

I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK - Chanwook Park (director of Oldboy) made a kinda romantic comedy that crosses One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Brazil and shades of The Terminator.

The Long Good Friday - British gangster film that was wicked before Guy Ritchie got things hip again.

Stander - Thomas Jane portraying South Africa's most famous bank robber who happened to be a cop.

This should start you all off nicely.

Meet the Feebles One of Peter Jackson's early films, which is best described as an episode The Muppet Show written by a meth tweaking and very horny 14 year old. Hilariously bad taste and kind of astonishing that it came from the guy who made Lord of the Rings.

^^ This movie has got to be one of the sickest most enjoyable puppet movies ever to be made.
