Roddy Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 From the mid-80s, this is probably what you might call a 'cult classic'. Starring Jon Voight (big call, I know, but probably a career best performance), Eric Roberts and an extremely un-glamorous Rebecca De Mornay. No special effects, crashes, explosions, gunplay or anything of the like whatsoever, but an utterly absorbing action/human drama film nonetheless. About as gritty as Hollywood gets. It even has an existentialist side as well! Amazing movie. Wadda ya think? I give it 9.5/10, one of my all time favourites.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 THE PARTY with Peter Sellers. Anyone that has seen this, I'm willing to bet, likes it or loves it. And anyone that hasn't seen it, needs to rent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticklah Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The Best obscure movie would definitly be The Crazies or Monkey Shines. Both by one of my favorite directors Goerge A. Romero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Images have stuck with me. Good film. The scenes I always remember are when the two trains crash into each other, and when John Voight is crawling between train cars and he gets his fingers pinched off in the couplings of the two cars....that musta hurt.
