Name your favorite movies that we may not have heard of

List some movies that you love that most people probably haven't seen or heard of and tell us why we should watch it. I am looking for some good "overlooked" movies, so gimme some.

Here are a few movies that I love that the casual movie-goer might not have seen or heard of. These are all great flickssssss. If you click on the titles, it will give you more info on them, either their IMDb page or a topic I already posted.

Ken Park - The most sexually graphic non-porn movie ever. They show everything. A guy eating an older woman out, a guy masturbating til he cums, a stepdad sucking his stepson's cock, ETC. It's not that great plot-wise, but hey, it's entertaining to watch with a group of people who aren't easily offended. From the director of Kids.

Bully - Also from the director of Kids. Based on a true story. Naive teenagers plot to murder one of their own, who has been too much of a bully to them.

Freaks - A woman plans to marry a sideshow midget and murder him for his money. The other "freaks" find out and plan their revenge.

Funny Games - A family moves into a cabin and two young guys decide to torture them for their own amusement.

In the Company of Men - Two guys decide to play a cruel joke on a deaf co-worker by both pretending they are in love with her.

Welcome to the Dollhouse - Dark comedy. Insightful look at an unattractive 7th grader as she struggles to cope with un-attentive parents, snobbish classmates, a smart older brother, an attractive younger sister, and her own insecurities.

Happiness - The best movie EVER. Just a bunch of really messed up stories intertwined.

Storytelling - Todd Solondz, director/writer of the two movies above. College and high school serve as the backdrop for two stories about dysfunction and personal turmoil.

Show Me Love - A shy girl is in love with a popular girl at a high school. I love this movie so much.

Lilja 4-ever - Most powerful movie I have ever seen. A young girl is deserted by her parents and her life turns to shit.

Together - From the director/writer of the two movies above. Basically, the lives of a group of people all living together in one house in the 1970s. So good.

Eraserhead - Creepiest movie ever.

Paths of Glory - Most powerful war movie ever. When soldiers in WW1 refuse to continue with an impossible attack, their superiors decide to make an example of them.

And Justice For All - Young Al Pacino. When a corrupt judge is charged with rape, Arthur Kirkland must defend him. Kirkland has had problems with the judge in the past.

Blood Simple - A rich but jealous man hires a private investigator to kill his cheating wife and her new man. First Coens brothers movie. Rules.

Barton Fink - In 1941, New York intellectual playwright Barton Fink comes to Hollywood to write a Wallace Beery wrestling picture. Just a weird, weird movie.

Living in Oblivion - Steve Buscemi plays a director trying to make a low budget movie but everything goes wrong.

Bound - Wachowski Brothers' first movie. Corky, a tough female ex con and her lover Violet concoct a scheme to steal millions of stashed mob money and pin the blame on Violet's crooked boyfriend Caeser.

Abre Los Ojos - Original movie that Vanilla Sky was remade from.

You Can Count on Me - A single mother's life is thrown into turmoil after her struggling, rarely-seen younger brother returns to town.

Amores Perros - A horrific car accident connects three stories, each involving characters dealing with loss, regret, and life's harsh realities, all in the name of love.

Y Tu Mama Tambien - In Mexico, two teenage boys and an attractive older woman embark on a road trip and learn a thing or two about life, friendship, sex, and each other.

Straw Dogs - A man moves to England to escape the violence of America, but finds it even more violent. He is pushed and pushed by a group of guys, and eventually fights back.
