I’ve been on a bit of a movie kick lately. Recently for the first time I’ve seen,

Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
Gattaca
Kingdom of Heaven

What are some other movies that I should get around to watching that aren’t all that well known? I’ve also seen Primal Fear and Gangs of New York though those are really well known

a. Any specific genres? Your list is kind of all over the place. Or maybe I should ask what genre(s) do you NOT want examples from?

b. How weird do you wanna get?

It doesn’t matter the genre. I’m just looking for some I haven’t seen yet. I’ll watch weird ones if it’s recommended as a good movie and worth watching.

If there was a national sport in the world of Mad Max, this would be it.

My suggestion every time this comes up:

Cadence (1990)

Charlie Sheen
Martin Sheen
Larry Fishburne (what he went by then)

Charlie Sheen is a white prisoner in a military prison in an all black barracks. Martin Sheen is the warden.

It’s fricking EXCELLENT.

Age? That would let everyone know what you probably haven't seen.

Well, you're gonna get a ton of great suggestions here, so you might want to list a genre or two that are esp interesting to you.
