Movies From Under The Rug..

[smalls kenobi]

have you ever seen a movie that you randomly stumbled uppon that you loved to death but almost everyone around you has never seen or even heard of?

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHARE!!

I'll Start it off with two movies that have unique cult followings that I'm a BIG fan of:

"Phantom of the Paradise" Praised for being ahead of it's time, and from what i understand in Canada it's the equvilant to Rocky Horror Picture Show in america, i own the soundtrack(which was only Destributed in France) and the Special Edition DVD, it had poor reviews, but to me, and many other followers this was an amazing achievement.


"Miracle Mile" is an amazing movie!! it's about a young man that is late to a date with a girl he just met, on his way to pick her up he comes across a ringing phone booth. he picks up and hears the horrible news that he has about an hour before nuclear missles reach Los Angels. it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie as he tries to find the girl he loves, and escape the city before the nuclear fallout. was it all a joke? or was it actually happening?

i have never heard of those. That second one looks pretty good.



I loved this one. Just watched it a few months ago.

A movie with Gary Busey as a killer gingerbread man, classic.

A move about a car tyre that gains consciousness and goes on a murderous rampage throughout a small town in America? Yes please.
Rubber is an amazing movie and, despite my brief summary, is really good. It is an homage to movies that don't make sense which makes it what it is (thats really good btw).
The opening monologue is amazing as well. That in itself is worth a look.




Mr. Brooks is another movie I love which is relatively unknown amongst my friends and sadly not well reviewed. It has a great cast including Kevin Costner, Demi Moore and Dane Cook (he's actually ok) plus many other faces. It has similarities to American Psycho in the fact that Kevin Costner is a wealthy businessman who is also a serial killer. The final scene is amazing and the music throughout is awesome. #9 on my all time favourites list as well.

Here's a movie I discovered on a deployment and enjoyed... why it never made it to theaters in the states is beyond me.

I loved Mr. Brooks. This was the only time I saw Dane Cook in something I didn't mind him in. However, I still think someone else could have played his role better. But still, an amazing movie.

I know what you mean. I thought he was good in his role on the count of the fact he didn't annoy me!

OH MY GOD!! Cruz and Hayek!!!! SIGN ME UP!!

Yeah, from what I remember, it's a slight comedy, action flick. My guys were stoked when we saw the cover... which looked different than the DVD art you see here. Apparently, this movie was released only in European theaters. Not a great movie, but it could've made some dough if it was released in the late summer season for us Americans.
