1One of my favorite guilty pleasure movies but nobody seems to have ever heard of is Zero Effect.
Another would be One False Move.
What are some movies that you’d recommend that no one else ever knows about when you mention it?
I’m sure this thread has been done before, but I searched to no avail, and figure it couldn’t hurt to start anew.

WWII: A young flier is parachuted into France and ordered to assassinate a Frenchman believed to be a double agent. But is the target really guilty?
Based on a story by Donald Chase Downes, a former American intelligence operative who also acted as technical adviser to the film. This is a gritty, detqailed look at spying and killing, surprisingly directed by Anthony Asquith, who generally specialized in veddy refined things like Pygmalion. Features a superb performance by actress Irene Worth as the French contact and a scene that would later be semi-imitated by Hitchcock in Torn Curtain.

on 1/9/21 at 9:13 pm to PublixSubsZero Effect, which you mentioned, is a nice little Holmes-style detective story which is a lot of fun.
I’m having trouble coming up with my own recommendations because a lot of what I like is “cult” to the point where it is acclaimed and has a good following.
Like “The Long Good Friday” has a lot of respect from British film fans but is fairly unknown in the US these days if you weren’t a Criterion Collection watcher. London gangster Harold Shand (Bob Hoskins) has invited several American mobsters to town in preparation for a huge business deal but things go sour starting with his car being bombed and one of his top men and friends getting killed at the swimming pool. Harold starts looking for answers and none of the usual suspects appear to be involved.
“Angel Heart” is another one generally overlooked in which a private detective is hired to track down a crooner named Johnny Favorite which takes him from NYC to NOLA in the process. It was mainly known at the time as “that film that got Lisa Bonet canned by Cosby.”
And then there was “1-2-3”, which was a farce about the border crossings in Berlin, which had the Berlin Wall go up between filming and release. A Coca-Cola executive who has spent years overseas with his family is under heavy pressure to return to the US from West Germany. At the same time, a top executive in the company sends his daughter (18-ish) to stay with him. it turns out she has been crossing the border into East Germany, met herself a boy, got married in secret, and is pregnant. Now he has to think of a way to fix this mess.

quote:The unjustly forgotten Morgan was a brilliant radio comedian, the Letterman of his time -- he was doing a Carnac-type bit long before Carson or even Kovacs/Steve Allen. The film inventively plays with cinematic conventions such as freeze frames and subtitles. The scene where Morgan attends a clumsy Broadway play is hilarious.
So This Is New York is a 1948 satirical movie comedy starring acerbic radio and television comedian Henry Morgan and directed by Richard Fleischer. The cynically sophisticated screenplay was written by Carl Foreman and Herbert Baker from the 1920 novel The Big Town by Ring Lardner. Foreman was blacklisted soon after.
It remains the only film in which humorist Henry Morgan plays the leading role, and the material was tailored to showcase the cynical persona Morgan had developed for his radio show.
Curious side note: features a very rare non-Dead End Kids/Bowery Boys performance from Leo Gorcey as a jockey.

It always annoyed me when I mentioned Kicking & Screaming people thought I was talking about that stupid Will Ferrell soccer movie.
