Will you share a few movie titles of films that you think are excellent but you think few people have seen?

I've not seen it but have heard good things about it.
:)

Thanks, Nanoose! I only skimmed your answer because I think I saw somewhere in there your mentioning the end of the movie. I prefer to know nothing about a movie before I see it and I've not seen "Road Kill."
:)
 Ha!

I just goggled it and found that there are lots of other movies with the same title so I found the right one and will post a link to more info about it. Cheers!

Guess which one of those is the only one that I've seen?
;)

I need to catch up.

No.  It's just that these movies are too NORMAL for you.   That's all.   You rock with those extreme indie type movies, Welby.

I saw Agnes of God, one of the weirdest movies ever.

I was intrigued by Indochine because I liked that name, but never saw it.

The other one?  No clue.

Hi Thrifty.

Indochine....Indochina (SE Asia).  It's wonderful but you have to read subtitles.  

Agnes of God stayed with me in a strong way.  It's like I just watched it last week, but it's been years.

Hello friend.  Hope you are happy and healthy these days.  :)

I don't mind subtitles at all.  Hardly notice them.

It's like reading a movie.

Hello friend,  I am doing okay. I am living alone now and loving it.  I am not used to having a job I can depend on and taking the reigns of my life again.

Hope all is very well with you.

That sounds wonderful.  I"m so glad your job situation is good.  You worked hard to get here.  :)

And I've seen two of your choices.
:)

("Indochine" --  I always find Catherine Deneuve great --  and "Babette's Feast")

I liked both.

Which two of the ones I picked have you seen? I think once we might have mentioned "Strangers in Good Company" at some point in the past. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at July 10, 2018 10:01 PM MDT

Yep, that one and Frailty. 

"Frailty" blew me away. I really liked it. Well, obviously from my question, I like all three movies I used in my question.
:)

I actually saw most of those

All but the first one.  Oh man, I saw them.  So cool.

First one is a comedy and the last two were just really old movies that I figured not many younger people would have seen.

It was such a random selection and remote.  I was amazed I has seen them all except that first one.

It's not like I am a movie-goer or watcher as of late.  Like the last decade, I am not watching movies.  I am not even reading books.  So, it was amazing that anyone even remembers Roan Innish.  That was a good movie too. 

How about Dancing on Lun .... I have to find it.  Hold on....

Here it is.  I would have butchered the spelling of that Celtic word.

Anyway that movie just appeared in my mind. 

It is very remote.

The story, based on the award-winning play by Brian Friel, tells of the five Mundy sisters, who live in a cottage in rural Ireland in the 1930s. One has an out-of-wedlock son, Michael. As the film opens, they receive a visitor: their older brother, Father Jack, who has returned in retirement after years in Africa. He is not quite all there; his eyes wander and he loses the drift. The equatorial sun and the lure of African customs (shown in the movie's opening credits) have worn down his Catholic beliefs, and after inquiring about his young nephew's father and discovering there is none of record, he suggests cheerfully, "I'd like you all to have a love child!" This does not go down well with Kate Mundy (Meryl Streep), a schoolteacher, firm and unyielding. It becomes apparent that the five women and the boy have been living in such close quarters for so long that only silence and routine make it bearable. One sister smokes all the time. Rose (Sophie Thompson), simple-minded, moons for a married man. Christina (Catherine McCormack), Michael's mother, waits too patiently for periodic visits from her dashing lover Gerry (Rhys Ifans). He roars up on a motorcycle, charms her, dazzles his son (Darrell Johnston) and then roars off again--to fight against Franco in Spain, he explains.

The Bellboy with Jerry Lewis?  

I'm sure that is what he means.

OLLDDD

Yes ... the first silent movie after they stopped making silent movies.  (sorta)  :)) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at July 10, 2018 10:54 AM MDT
