Directed by William Friedken and great snapshot of mid 80's LA and that damn car chase... unbelievable.

City of god isn’t unknown by any definition

That said but it’s a 20 year old foreign language film so easy to overlook

To live is also fantastically depressing Chinese movie

Road to Perdition

Nobody I talk to remembers it, but it's always been a favorite of mine.

Lots of great suggestions here I concur with;

Lucky Number Slevin
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
In Bruges

I'll add Men at Work (1990). Stupid goofball comedy but Estevez/Sheen have great chemistry (as expected), Keith Davis is hilarious, and there are some great overall lines.

This is fairly recent but thought Shia Lebouf did a great job. Its a little bit of modern Huck Finn. I thought it was entertaining, endearing, and bonding of friends.

"Peanut Butter Falcon"

I agree Tom Hanks early comedies was good stuff. Burbs, The Money Pit were great. Castaway he was great in.

Thanks for starting this, there are a lot of movies I need to see.

Europa report


It’s a well-made Indy space/sci-fi movie that was made sometime after 2010.

A few well-known actors with the storyline is just really well done for some movie You don’t even hear about too much.

So are

The Money Pit

At this point, it look like we were just throwing down Tom Hanks movies

I was a fan of Nothing in Common though, I know not everyone likes that one.

If you ask most people if they saw A History of Violence, you would probably get a lot of blank stares.
