The Best Movies You've Never Seen: Vol. 1!

[@shmooveyea]

My top 5 films you probably haven't seen: 1) The Nolan Batman Trilogy 2) Return of the King 3) Captain America: Civil War 4) Guardians of the Galaxy 5) Avatar Check these out guys! Real indie picks.

[@pekostar7682]

Every guy has seen those movies

[@terence92able]

+Mayank Narang and he took the bait

[@willdd]

+Mayank Narang omg do you not understand sarcasm

[@Mrk_021]

That's the joke ..........

[@willdd]

+Mayank Narang you really are too young to be on youtube

[@seahawk124]

Gattaca with Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. Produce by Danny DeVito!

[@Aylass84]

Watched it, many, many years ago, great movie.

[@FlynnTaggartGuy]

Great film.

[@ethanspotts542]

They play this movie in High Schools all across the U.S. It's hardly an unknown movie.

[@paulallen412]

Believe it or not, movies are shown OUTSIDE of the US. I've never heard of Gattaca and thanks to seahawk124, I'm looking into it.

[@OriginalEric]

Good call, that is a genuinely great flick on multiple levels

[@koujow]

"Thank You for Smoking" is one of my favorite movie that does not have 'star' or 'wars' in the title, but I have never met anyone else who has seen it. And after I badger people into watching it, they always love it. It is so good!

[@TheErnstkare]

huh, I thought it was moderately popular

[@crystalcvt]

great film!

[@SynchronizorVideos]

It got a lot of buzz when it came out, as I recall.

[@moogyaka8940]

Yesss! One of my faves too

[@spencerc6]

koujow Thank you, stars, for smoking wars. There.

[@umidontno040394]

What about "Night Falls"? Pretty good movie starring De Niro in one of his best peformances of all time. A very short cameo from Pacino, many people don't even know that it happens. Alot of back and forth, there's a crime ring. It almost got nominated for an oscar.

[@dynamitejimi]

Seven Psychopaths is one of my favorite films hardly anyone talks about..

[@youseemerolan]

yes!!!

[@KillerBotFilms]

One of my all time favs

[@Simonlikescake454]

I much prefer Martin McDonagh's other film In Bruges, definitely check it out if you haven't, it's on Netflix.

[@xepfeon]

i picked it up on blu-ray, just because of the name...great movie

[@Mo-gg9cv]

AAAAAHHHH YES! FINALLY!

[@brandyrea2242]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang..one of my most favorite movies ever and it feels like hardly anyone has seen it

[@H3len50]

Brilliant movie, I loved it.

[@Mixppmix]

First hated it, then I was told it deals with hollywood cliche and after that I "get" the movie

[@arlosmith3075]

Agreed. I watch that movie all of the time.

[@jimtreebob2096]

Brandy Rea Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is fantastic!

[@farhanibrahim7919]

The writing is just amazing

[@moosemush]

With the superhero crowd, you could probably just name any film that isn't in the English language.

[@tomboz777]

Or anything pre 80's that isn't Scorsese

[@SerbStar2011]

suicide squad best movie 2016 10/10

[@hedvig872]

I love your profile pic! :D

[@justatnight1103]

yeah, sadly but true.

[@gabzz72]

Or anything that was nominated but didn't win best picture...

[@bdeangelis14]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is too damn good

[@AndyCigars]

Oh Hell to the yes! Great movie! Val Kilmer and RDJ at their best.

[@TheAurgelmir]

I should watch that again!

[@julied8356]

Yes! That movie is awesome and pretty unknown

[@danrg26]

I just put one bullet didn't I

[@AndyCigars]

danrg26 " *8%!? Who taught you math!* " haha That was f'ing classic!

[@KevinSheppard]

Very few people know about a movie from 1999 called The Matrix. Awesome action scenes and interesting story.

[@zabuzanoa3328]

agreed i thought i was the only one to know about that movie

[@KevinSheppard]

Zabuza noa It's a rare gem

[@hannahalexis6741]

I hope that's sarcasm lol The Matrix is quite popular

[@ElectricIguana]

Along, those lines, many people haven't seen Equilibrium, with Christian Bale, which should be available on Netflix.

[@KevinSheppard]

K. M. Although some would regard it as a guilty pleasure, I enjoyed it very much.

[@Audrey_T]

What We Do In The Shadows is my ultimate hidden gem. One of the funniest films I've seen in a long time.

[@anti0918]

Not really hidden though.

[@Gravitynaut]

+brian0918 I dunno, its never talked about on larger channels like these, despite being the funniest film in years.

[@anti0918]

Gravitynaut I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned on Movie Fights several times, especially with the director also working on Thor: Ragnarok.

[@Audrey_T]

There's films on the list way more known and have grossed more than What we do in the shadows but that's doesn't negate the fact they're hidden gems for the average movie goer

[@littlekasino]

+Audrey T Considering how Aussie and Kiwi films tend to be neglected by American distributors, I'd say it's a good suggestion.

[@AvatarRishi]

You guys should put the movie names in the description.

[@forrestcampbell3572]

Then people wouldn't watch the video

[@AvatarRishi]

I would still watch the video for their opinion and the small glimpses of the movies but in case I missed some movies, I could just refer back to the list in the description

[@izlikethat]

here you go: Shattered Glass (2003) The Last Seduction (1994) Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007) The Killing (1956) Ace in the Hole (1951) The Rules of Attraction (2002) Sullivan’s Travels (1941) That Thing You Do (1996) Dogtooth (2009) The Player (1992) Payback (1999) Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2011)

[@CherryyBombs]

+izlikethat which one is the one with Hayden christensen?

[@turkeyman0773]

They should put the titles in the description. I've seen all but one of the films they spoke of. If they listed the titles, it would have saved me some time

[@SNSWoTClan]

"That Thing You Do" is one of my favorite movies! Especially the longer Director's Cut.. The extra scenes, although not really necessary to the plot give you so much added depth to the characters .... LOVE IT.

[@insurgentgaming5635]

Dredd is a true gem that no one has watched. If anyone is confused it's also called dredd 2012 or dredd 3D.

[@4besideyouintime]

everybody has watched that. or, at least, heard about it. the marketing campaign was never ending.

[@HelgaCavoli]

Dredd 2012 is SO good! Haven't seen it in 3D but I can see which scenes deserves it.

[@anomaly108]

i have no idea why critics hated Dredd. replay value is off the charts

[@littlekasino]

Dredd was brilliant, but they already cast it as #1 in their list of best film adaptation from comic books in an earlier episode of SJS. And I agree.

[@daniilashurov135]

Watched it in movie theatre)

[@yoyothriller]

I like Hayden Christensen. He's the scapegoat for the prequels, but he was not what was wrong with those movies. If anything should be the scapegoat, its Lucas' bad directing.

[@JefeTheSituation]

It's almost more bad writing. He made all the actors say lines that Daniel Day Lewis couldn't even make sound believable.

[@cumberlandbills]

Bad lines and bad acting. Sorry but he was awful and i think Jumper proves it. Every Actor has had at least one good role, Shattered Glass might be it for him.

[@15luisrivas]

Life as a House, even if the movie is not brilliant is another great performance by Christensen. I think

[@sriharsha5036]

good in Awake

[@007Kiristo]

He was fine in Jumper. I think the only thing he's been terrible in was Star Wars, otherwise, he's a fine actor.

[@isaackitchel6354]

My hidden gem is "In Bruges", a wonderfully scripted and acted dark comedy about two Irish hit men trying to lay low in a small Belgian town. It is arguably my favorite movie, yet few people I know have ever seen or heard of it (despite it being readily available on Netflix).

[@AndyCigars]

"The World's Fastest Indian" ...great, feel good movie with Anthony Hopkins in a heartwarming role.

[@The_Lunatic_Fringe89]

I actually saw that movie on an airplane lol. And it is really good. I think it suffered from having a bad title.

[@_koschwarz]

Agreed.

[@mikelife9731]

I'm assuming since we didn't kill him it was about the first Native American to build a Casino? Sorry I never saw it.

[@The_Lunatic_Fringe89]

Mike Life That's what you would think right!? But no. It's actually about this guy from New Zealand who set a land speed record riding a motorcycle. See what a bad title it is lol.

[@mikelife9731]

VoiceofReason1989 lol is that what it's honestly about? That's pretty cool. I'm gonna have to check it out.

[@MonkeyMagicSCG]

Cinema Paradiso. First foreign film I was able to watch. Such a beautiful homage to classic cinema.

[@cinemaniac78]

Many years ago when I was a child, my grandfather (who was Italian) showed this movie at a family gathering. I didn't really appreciate it at the time, but having seen it again later in life, I now finally do!

[@JustForTheTunes]

Not entirely sure how unknown it is, but I just recently saw "In Bruges" (2008) on the recommendation of a friend and it completely surprised me in a fantastic way. Definitely worth a viewing!

[@jonathanpeck6112]

My hidden gem is After Hours.

[@halrudnick]

Excellent flick.

[@krzychuka]

Mine too !

[@FrancoisDressler]

Needs a Blu Ray release asap

[@jacobharris4838]

One of his masterpieces

[@jacobharris4838]

awesome420ication a little bit yeah

[@samuelshaw7730]

You gotta have Alicia do this next time. This is right up her alley

[@anti0918]

Yeah, Alicia should've been the star here.

[@mosesclyne9860]

I'd like to get right up her alley

[@decenthumans]

Giggity! Surprised it took two comments

[@godrimode298]

ɷɷɷ I Haveeee Watched Thiss Movie Leakeddd Version Here : - t.co/N5bJ1ncxVk

[@richardgurney3160]

Thank goodness. PLEASE make more videos like this! Thanks for introducing me to new movies (instead of reminding me of already popular movies with the honest trailers)

[@Pantherblack]

Payback is, in fact, one of my favorite films. One film I felt flew under the radar yet was an undiscovered gem was Michael Mann's Collateral (2004), featuring Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise.

[@elizabethphillips7838]

Yes Jamie Fox & Tom Cruise really worked in Collateral

[@SirSly420]

"The counte of Monte Cristo " the newer one with guy pearce and Jim Caviezel . one of my favorite movies that most people I recommend it to have never heard of .

[@TraceVandal]

A great movie.

[@egeorgiades93]

Love this movie.

[@niallh4194]

Forgot about that one. So good.

[@RJay207]

The thing I love about this movie is that it has almost nothing to do with the book (it's one of my favorite books). And I mean almost NOTHING. But the movie is still great regardless because the theme is so strong, and the movie is just that well made and written.

[@erasphira]

Just saw it with my brother, he never saw it before, he went bananas for it. I love that movie it's just a nice told story, and the motivation that Edmund has is just intense, love when all of his enemies start falling into his traps.

[@32SamMoore]

1. Dogma 2. Death Proof 3. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 4. The Living Daylights 5. Undercover Brother

[@DPMAce]

the Living Daylights was my favorite James Bond movie. Now it's Quantum of Solice

[@csm101000]

this is joke I presume

[@elpaco25]

undercover brother a true masterpiece ahaha. But seriously what other movie do you get Neil Patrick harris and dave chappelle. great cast

[@effinchad]

Undercover Brother is super fly!

[@JDirkfilms2]

The Living Daylights is excellent man!!!!

[@RandomTXDude210]

Oh, man! Payback! One of my favorite movies. When it came out I was crazy about this movie. And it'll always have a special place in my heart because it turned me on to Richard Stark the author whose works this movie was based on.

[@alexsc7187]

screen junkies needs more stuff like this. feels more appropriate to the channel

[@LeeGinSing]

Just as a fun experiment, I decided to see if I could watch any of these on my Netflix Streaming (web) account. Here are my results: Shattered Glass (2003) NOPE The Last Seduction (1994) NOPE Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007) NOPE The Killing (1956) NOPE Ace in the Hole (1951) NOPE The Rules of Attraction (2002) NOPE Sullivan’s Travels (1941) NOPE That Thing You Do (1996) NOPE Dogtooth (2009) NOPE The Player (1992) NOPE Payback (1999) NOPE Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (2011) NOPE I miss the days when Netflix service used to have... you know... movies. :(

[@kieranl5249]

They have a really weird selection. They have this French film from 1971 that's like, 12 hours. They also have a random Bertolucci movie, The Conformist (it's fucking amazing).

[@MeatMiddleton]

The Killing, Ace in the Hole, Sullivan's Travels and The Player are part of the Criterion Collection, so you may be able to see them on Hulu.

[@littlekasino]

Maybe that's how they came up with these titles as hidden gems, they weren't available on Netflix! ;)

[@3DaiYo4Kai56]

What about "Stay"?

[@negrochifladorivera1008]

+littlekasino ... lol

[@CRokkan]

I had no idea Payback could be on a list like this. I was 12 when it came out, but I've watched it since and it really holds up. Love it.

[@arpitbharti6245]

so many people haven't seen Her(2013)

[@arpitbharti6245]

she is an AI

[@gaypudding2315]

+Milos Pantic You're thinking of Lucy

[@Hampeeng]

my favorite movie. it's amazing

[@jaykparikh37]

your thinking about under the skin, she goes full nude!!

[@ZeroSum23]

+Milos Pantic you're thinking of *Under the Skin* +Gay Pudding you're actually thinking of the "I Love Lucy"

[@ThePabloCraft]

That French film the untouchables with Omar Sy is one of the best films I've seen and I bet the vast majority of people have never seen it

[@joeryan7306]

it's actually fairly famous

[@BrysonHowe]

+joe ryan probably the most famous foreign film I can think of other than the raid

[@DarkCyberElf]

Pan's Labyrinth

[@FreakieFan]

that is like the other guy said, indeed one of the most famous foreign films

[@tails512]

I think City of God would also generally be more famous.

[@rasnac]

Come on guys! Battleship Potemkin is not some obscure art house movie; it is a cornerstone of cinema history for crying out loud. It is like Godfather, Metropolis or Citizen Kane! And it is much more well known than any movie you put on this episode.

[@drcrowlee]

Honestly expected to have seen most of the list, but have only seen about 4 of them! Thanks for the additions to my watch list! Loving the focus on more artistically valuable films!

[@gerardrokosz1543]

Anyone ever hear of a movie called "Equilibrium" with Christian Bale?

[@mossadon]

Gunkata for the win ! The muzzle flash choreographed scene is brilliant. Good call,sir.

[@MonkeyMagicSCG]

I hated it when it came out, seemed like a bad cash in on The Matrix. Much better watching it back now.

[@mukke9728]

I actually watched that. It seems to be inspired by Matrix, but I like the story and the action scenes. :D

[@TheNetrunner888]

It was a nice watch. Spoiler alert: Sean Bean dies in it..

[@mossadon]

TheNetrunner888 hah hah hah hah... a Sean bean spoiler alert would be: "Spoiler alert; Sean bean DOESN'T die in it" hah hah hah If he's in it, he's dead If he isn't....it's a shocking twist we never expect. heh heh heh heh

[@reigyst]

Matchstick Men would be a pick of mine. It lets Nick Cage be crazy, and has a twisty enough plot to be interesting for repeated views.

[@Parker-D]

My all time favorite movie that not many people have probably seen was Snowpiercer. Such an amazing movie.

[@anti0918]

Everyone has seen it. And it was terrible.

[@bobbywrtm]

the most 50-50 good or bad movie i've seen

[@elpaco25]

tell me right now how was snow piecer terrible? My favorite film of 2013 by far.

[@anti0918]

elpaco25 Watch more movies. Stiff acting all around, bad dialogue, cliched plot with stereotypical, unrealistic characters. Oh, and the cherry on top was the completely idiotic twist at the end.

[@elpaco25]

in my opinion the movie had none of the things you just listed except maybe the twist? are you referring to the explosion? the bear? I can see why some dont like the ending but to say "Stiff acting all around, bad dialogue, cliched plot with stereotypical, unrealistic characters" just shows me that you either havent watched the film and are trolling me (by the other comments ive seen you post i think this is a winner) or you are very very biased for an unknown reason. can i have some examples of stiff acting please? because all i saw was a great fucking cast who all did outstanding jobs (two oscar winners and one two time nominee) plot was fine please tell what you found so cliched? I was surprised with ever new train cart they entered. Especially near the end i did not expect those trippy drug cars. Dialogue and characters are all preference so i cant fault you for disliking those, but some examples would be nice if you actually have any.

[@raziel7148]

Gattaca, is my hidden gem

[@anti0918]

Not hidden but is a gem

[@agustinorero1668]

totally agree. A GEM

[@wienerschnietzel8983]

Just looked up on what some of my favorite lesser known movies are. There are a lot of 60's to 80's Samurai movies and other Asian movies. I'm going with: Seppuku (1962) Fish Story (2009) The Ninth Configuration (1980) Demon Knight (1990) [Don't let the Tales from the Crypt branding fool you. It's amazing.]

[@bobbywrtm]

1. Tampopo 2.Kon-Tiki 3. La Grande Bellezza 4. Singham 5. Prisoners 6. Moon 7. Son of Saul

[@bobbywrtm]

and Hodjegerne

[@kieranl5249]

I'm convinced Son of Saul will be one for the history books, it looks completely different from everything released in the last 16 years.

[@alekas8402]

I LOOOVE Prisioners! Everybody was great on that movie! I've watched many times. I love Moon too, that's the movie that made me fell in love with Sam Rockwell! Haha.

[@leartistiquecinemadekino7392]

The Great Beauty is amazing

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

My hidden gem that I can almost guarantee nobody has ever seen (probably not even ScreenJunkies): The City of Lost Children

[@jc2367]

i seen it. remember looking at the bo cover at blockbuster video when i was young but didnt watch it until a few years ago when the HD version became available. the french put out some odd but good stuff.

[@Goolss666]

That was a good movie! The weird thing is that Alien: Resurrection was directed by the guy who directed City of Lost Children and even had many of the same cast members.

[@lightningbugtriathol]

Ron Perlman is always great in anything.

[@StolenPvP]

The director of Amélie. It's a great movie.

[@4besideyouintime]

+Jessica Lamont i used to agree, then i heard about in the name of the king...not even pearlman escapes the uwe boll curse

[@melissaanne5636]

My go-to hidden gem (although I don't know how hidden it is) is Brick - the 2006 high school/noir genre mashup. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, it was his debut film and a really enjoyable movie. Since he's a screenwriter for the next two Star Wars episode installments, revisiting his earliest feature film 10 years after its release might be a fun trip for those looking to discover (or rediscover) a solid flick.

[@deathtone1614]

Hard Candy

[@seanbirby]

Great pick!

[@elisepatterson7869]

Yes! this movie was rad

[@yann0710]

awesome pick!

[@rare2b]

awesome movie

[@AndjelkaDjukic]

Great movie!

[@colaptimus2920]

The Man From Earth. The whole movie is a group of college professors talking in a cabin while one of them packs up to move. Description sound boring? Just go watch it.

[@stondexx7381]

Fantastic movie.

[@kissmyasthma3155]

Great movie, although it could have been better if it had a bigger production budget.

[@Audrey_T]

Loved it. Stylistically not the best but the made for TV quality definitely added some charm to the film in my opinion.

[@florand]

The dialog is great in that film. The ending could had been less dark or sad.

[@ObsceneVegetableMatter]

If you liked The Man from Earth, i recommend Coherence. Low budget sci-fi with big ideas, and very well executed.

[@FJD894]

This is a fantastic idea for a series. Please way more of these. Always exciting to discover new movies!

[@alextapia91]

I love "That thing you Do"!

[@Kinnacat]

Warning: That song will be stuck in your head for at least two months. Still worth it.

[@rickycarrillo7821]

Attack the block is the ultimate hidden gem. It's Shaun of the dead meets the worlds end meets kingsman. Dan would absolutely love it.

[@benturner1138]

Great shout, brilliant movie

[@anti0918]

I'm sure he's seen it. It's not really hidden.

[@rickycarrillo7821]

+brian0918 well neither was anything else on this show

[@C.Dat.guyoverthere]

Attack the Block is awesome!

[@littlekasino]

He's seen it, I remember it being mentioned either here in the SJS or in Movie Fights. But yes, great film, and definitely launched that kid's career into now being in the Star Wars franchise.

[@SaritaLuna]

Flipped. It's one of my absolute favorite films. Not many people I talk to have ever heard of it, but those who have are in love with it.

[@Lmaoh5150]

The big three I can think of are Synechdoche, New York Stalker Children of Men

[@anti0918]

I was just thinking about SNY yesterday. I think it was mentioned in a CineFix video and I started remembering all the crazy plot details.

[@Lmaoh5150]

Jon Snow I don't see many people talking about it.

[@Lmaoh5150]

Jon Snow I don't see many people talking about it.

[@Lmaoh5150]

Jon Snow Yeah true.

[@ctsteelers97]

Right there with you Children of Men is AMAZING. One of the best films of the decade

[@bennettsolomon2881]

Synecdoche, New York anybody????

[@anti0918]

YES!

[@halrudnick]

I love that movie! Good call.

[@old3nglish_234]

now that's hands down PSH's greatest movie/performance.

[@Martvandelay]

Yes, yes, YES!!!

[@tcdahn7]

Trippy flick

[@RR-ir6ss]

A lot of people haven't seen Amadeus. That movie has an terrific screenplay, amazing performances, and wonderful directing.

[@Kinnacat]

Sadly true. But I have to love this one, I'm a sucker for classical music and the strange people who wrote it. Embellished history can make for some great watching.

[@littlekasino]

You're right, I've been meaning to see it for the last twenty years yet still haven't got around doing so...

[@johndowns4161]

Agree

[@joebrown8379]

The kings of summer!

[@danfielding6896]

yas

[@joebrown8379]

I just watched the trailer for that one. IT LOOKS SO GOOD thanks for recommending it

[@aob505]

Noticed it's on Amazon, I'll have to check it out thanks.

[@DTC_95]

Sing Street is a great hidden gem movie !

[@gopalkrishnan4526]

agree

[@_koschwarz]

Sing Street is the movie of the year for me.

[@diegopachon8051]

It better gets the Academy Award for Best Original Song!

[@WarSwan]

Begin Again was great also

[@redhood9042]

In Bruges,The Guard,RocknRolla

[@berniedavej]

Payback is brilliant, I remember really liking it when I saw so many years ago. My picks would be: - Monsters - amazing sci-fi, it's Gareth Edwards' first film, who from a special effects guy became a director, now directing SW: Rogue One! - S1mone - by the same guy who did Gattaca and wrote Truman Show, I believe the topic is quite relevant nowadays in a digital era. - In Bruges - I think a lot of people seem to know this film, but I just had to mention it, it's a flawless black comedy. - Horns - I really enjoyed this film recently, it captured this weird North American mysticism.

[@NicTube777]

Sunshine would somewhat fit into this category for me. One of my all-time favourites.

[@coandc]

Nicolas González great soundtrack for that movie

[@cjwrench07]

It was an Amazing movie until the third act. The burnt-crazy-nihilistic-religious extremist bad guy came out of nowhere for me, and ruined the feel/atmosphere of the movie. I truly believe if they didn't bring him in, and went some other way. The movie would have been a huge financial & critical success

[@donuttime2507]

@@cjwrench07 100% agree

[@neiltemple123]

Lee Marvin, Robert Carradine and Mark Hamill star in The Big Red One (1980). Simply put, it is one of the best WWII films ever made and most have never heard of it.

[@mysteryshrimp]

Good one, probably the best Hamill live-action outside of Star Wars. I probably wouldn't have heard of it except that I was a huge Star Wars fan growing up.

[@sebastianlindner8178]

This is why I love Screen Junkies. All these Comic Book related episodes started slowly to get on my nerves, but once in a while you guys show me why I got interested in this channel in the first place. This is awesome, just 3 three cineasts talking about good movies. Well done! My favorite unknwon movie is "Waltz with Bashir". This animated movie about the First Lebanon War is an incredibly haunting experience that will make you look up all the facts about this historic event right after the film ends. One of the most real and unsettling war depictions out there, even though the whole film is animated in a cartoon style.

[@christopherdeland3934]

Two under seen comedies: Noises Off (1992) - Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, many many others great slapstick and physical acting State and Main (2000) - Phillip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, many many others so quotable I'd throw in a couple other David Mamet movies: Heist (2001) with Gene Hackman and Danny Devito and Spartan (2004) with Val Kilmer.

[@kiamau3358]

Noises Off is hysterical

[@joeb2487]

The Wrong Guy (1997) is hilarious too. It stars Dave Foley and may have been as big as Dumb & Dumber if it wasn't shelved by the production company which was going through a change in ownership at the time. For that reason, the movie never had a wide release and basically went straight to VHS.

[@daniilashurov135]

One of my favourite comedies!

[@titaniumteddybear]

Dude! You are so right. Not just for the comedy but because it's a movie about how to make a play. That film has some DEEP shit to say. Yes, I know it was a play originally. You should still watch the movie.

[@jakehowell699]

HONEST TV TRAILER FOR STRANGER THINGS

[@Callidous]

Just now I was looking at "The Rules of Attraction"'s imdb page and noticed under "people who liked this also liked": Sullivan's Travels, The Last Seduction, Shattered Glass, Before the Devil Knows You're dead, The Player, That Thing You Do and Payback. That's six more movies from your list! I guess you've already made a measurable impact, lol.

[@highcroccropkick4]

Perfect blue is my hidden gem. Couldn't even find a way to watch it other than on a site because it isn't in print any more. Amazing film, draws you in, it makes you feel and disoriented as the main character then boom the twist is fantastic. A lot of after thought on the movie too

[@cinemaniac78]

Wow, nice one. I didn't even think of many animated films for my list, but I second that, and also several others by Satoshi Kon: Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, and Paprika.

[@johnnmaldo]

This movie scarred me as a child.

[@Gravitynaut]

Satoshi Kon is an underappreciated master.

[@romanfox5368]

Perfect Blue is really great. One of those animes I think should be enjoyable for people like myself who hate anime.

[@highcroccropkick4]

+William paprika is even the inspiration for inception. All fantastic stuff but I feel like perfect blue was his best

[@KyleStoughton]

Please do more of these! I love hearing about great movies I didn't know existed! Here are a few of my own: Moon Sneakers Synecdoche, New York Edit: Another one I thought of is Primer, which has probably the best concept of time travel I've ever seen in a movie. Also, heard so many good things about The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford but never seen it. It's on my watchlist.

[@halrudnick]

Love Synecdoche!

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

Unbreakable (2000) the best Superhero Drama and M. Night Shyamalan best movie. The Terminal (2004) Steven Spielberg most underrated movie of all time, i saw it this year and i loved it so much Top 3 Tom Hanks movies for me.

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

i love Moon.

[@JefeTheSituation]

+Marcos Acosta I feel like a TON of people have seen and love Unbreakable.

[@vincentadultman8527]

I loved Sneakers as a kid.

[@gatoconbotas66]

I'm a professor of Introduction to Film and History of Film at the University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla Campus, and find your video quite illuminating. Although there other great unknown or mostly forgotten films, the ones you have mentioned here are quite enjoyable and amusing. Thanks for refreshing our minds as well as souls with these selections and comments. You have a 10 in my book.

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

Tucker and Dale vs Evil. Its one of those fantastic twists on the horror comedy genre

[@anomaly108]

awesome but probably more popular than we think

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

Christopher Allen True actually.

[@romanfox5368]

That one seemed pretty funny.

[@vacsad]

In that genre I'd mention Zombeavers too, it's a hilarious one.

[@anomaly108]

vacsad zombeavers was kinda hilarious. I give you The Perfect Host

[@gavinhodges6497]

1. Hard Candy (not for the faint of heart) 2. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (a horror mockumentary) 3. Series 7 (a satirical "reality" show before they became common) 4. Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead (for those who enjoy Hamlet)

[@kiamau3358]

Rozencrantz- yes

[@Kinnacat]

I love #4. Two-love, match point!

[@gavinhodges6497]

Jacob Oehlenschlager I don't think any male can sit comfortably through that movie.

[@vacsad]

OMG Hard Candy is such an awesome movie.

[@arindam_sen]

Do more of these! One of the best Screen Junkies episodes yet.

[@sriharsha5036]

The fountain....anyone?

[@jc2367]

me, love the movie and soundtrack, but tbh its a flawed film. It was suppose to be a trilogy and teh studio wasnt having it so the director crammed 3 stories into 1 film. One of the first blu rays i ever owned.

[@ethanspotts542]

While the film may not be mainstream, it comes from a popular director, I don't really see how it would be considered unknown.

[@kevinb2743]

excellent movie by one of America's great directors

[@kevinb2743]

+Kevin Hammerstein good choice in film Sri

[@Chozodianemissary]

One of my all time favorites!!

[@StefanS-ig2rm]

When will somebody give Screenhunkies the news that there are also movies made outside of Hollywood?

[@JefeTheSituation]

A lot of these movies don't fall under the Hollywood category.

[@StefanS-ig2rm]

+Harambe But made in Hollywood nonetheless

[@FatumAlpha]

Dogtooth isn't a Hollywood movie. Also, what percentage of movies isn't made in Hollywood?

[@priya9194]

+fatupha a lot actually. Hollywood is just the most popular.

[@somecanadiangirl1]

+fatupha Hollywood is only the 3rd largest film industry in the world.

[@AnthonyChats]

MUST do more of these. Agreed with a bunch of these, especially Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

[@thatguycalledisaac3367]

Did they just spoil most of the movies they recommended?

[@FreakieFan]

no not at all

[@StolenPvP]

Yes

[@jordanleach4937]

I had to cover my ears when he was about to tell the twist ending from Kill Bill cause I still haven't seen it yet

[@GeloKuhsang]

+Jordan Leach Yep he totally spoiled it

[@trav_9830]

Also....the pussy dies

[@playbois4736]

Throwing a few out there: 1. Resolution 2. Big Bad Wolves 3. Faults 4. World of Tomorrow (It's only 17 min and you can find it on Netflix. I promise it's worth your time.) 5. The Dirties

[@austin12923]

I really enjoyed Big Bad Wolves.

[@jacobharris4838]

It's Such a Beautiful Day is even better than World of Tomorrow

[@blakebonecutter]

World of Tomorrow was incredible! Definitely that guy's best work.

[@samuelshaw7730]

Love world of tomorrow. Actually I kinda love all of don hertzfeldt's movies. It's such a beautiful day is also on Netflix. I'd definitely recommend it

[@Gravitynaut]

World of Tomorrow is a fantastic short. I was devastated when it was snubbed at the Oscars this year. Don Hertzfeldt's It's Such a Beautiful Day trilogy (he compiled them together to make a full hour long film a while back) is possibly my favoritd film ever made.

[@jrinredcar]

Rules of Atttraction is amazing. The soundtrack is fantastic too, especially in the suicide scene.

[@gregsky01]

There was a film came out in 2003 called Phone Booth that I don't think a lot of people have seen. It stars Colin Farrell and Kiefer Sutherland and the whole movie is shot in real time as Farrell is held hostage in a phone booth. If you haven't seen it, I absolutely recommend it. It's dark, it's suspenseful and it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

[@arty223s]

My Top 5 movies you probably haven't seen Wolf of Wall Street Shawshank Redemption Captain America Winter Solider Whiplash Avatar The Last Air Bender

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

The Last Air Bender movie is one of the worst movies of All Time don't see it.

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

I haven't seen Shawshank Redemption or Whiplash i do want to see them.

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

Unbreakable (2000) the best Superhero Drama and M. Night Shyamalan best movie. The Terminal (2004) Steven Spielberg most underrated movie of all time, i saw it this year and i loved it so much Top 3 Tom Hanks movies for me.

[@JefeTheSituation]

Don't forget about Deadpool!! Such an underrated gem!!

[@markthetopfabricator6047]

Deadpool is not underrated is one of the best superhero movies of All Time Top 10.everybody loves that movie.

[@EnsignUhTea]

Thank you, thank you for leaving the list in the description!

Ever see the rivers edge? Fucked up ass 80s flick.

[@anomaly108]

+Howdy Dowdy honorable mention. that movie stuck with me for weeks

[@anomaly108]

+Imperial stats haven't seen it what is it?

[@dirty06maggot]

great movie!

[@TheDevilDinosaur]

The War of the Roses, probably Danny Devito's best film

[@psisky]

That's in my top 10 movies of all time. Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas are epic together.

[@worstcaseofcrabsever5510]

"I've got more square footage"

[@voltagedude1]

I honestly got the most excited when they mentioned Bret Easton Ellis. I only knew "Rules of Attraction" (movie) because of a friend a few years after it came out, but recently my manager at work turned me onto his writing, and since then I have read rules, american psycho, less than zero and glamorama. They are all great, glamorama is pretty dark an twisted as well as hard to follow at times, but my favorite part is they are all the same universe. I recently picked up one of Bret's newest books, "Imperial Bedrooms", i have not started it yet but as far as I know it is a sequel to "Less Than Zero".

[@Palmieres]

You guys need to explore more movies from outside the US. Subtitles aren't poisonous, you know? Start with Best Foreign Motion Picture Oscar nominations and go from there.

[@cjwrench07]

Dan and Roth are huge for advocating for foreign movies. Nothing Warner Bros has ever made, has *ever* stood up to Japanese SpiderMan, nor the *Best* SuperMan:Turkish SuperMan.

Oh yeah. and Predestination 2014 -- sci-fi I think it was under the radar... maybe? Also, Dog Soldiers 2002 -- classic horror

[@ProgJester]

great picks!

[@oldmoviemusic]

great list, but you should see more classic film!! start with Billy Wilder -watch Stalag 17 (it's here on youtube i think) or sunset boulevard. another film called All About eve is on netflix, it's great too.

[@moogyaka8940]

For "let the right one in" you should try "Morse", it's the original swedish movie (the other one is a remake)

[@duckhorse4351]

"let the right one in" is the original though. (I see why you used quotes now, awkward title for a sentence :):) The remake was called "let me in", and it certainly wasn't as good. Those 12 year old actors in the original were brilliant, and so were the FX. I tried to look up Morse and found one reference, saying the title was Morse (Låt den rätte komma in). Every other source I found just called it "let the right one in". Confusering.

[@Hockeyluke1042]

White Heat is a great James Cagney movie that so many people quote all the time without even knowing what they're quoting. Honestly a true classic.

[@jhunt5578]

Hidden Gems: 1) Old Boy [Original] 2) Anomalisa 3) The Lobster 4) American History X 5) Intouchables 6) Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels

[@anti0918]

Everyone has seen most or all of those.

[@Gravitynaut]

+brian0918 You underestimate the average moviegoer. Yes, every serious film fan has seen at least two or three of these films, but your standard audience member won't even have heard of any of these films.

[@anti0918]

Gravitynaut When I meant "everyone", I thought it was clear I was referring to the people who watch videos like this. Obviously the general public hasn't seen any of these. We're just talking films that screen junkies probably haven't seen or bothered with.

[@jhunt5578]

I saw people recommending films like Snatch and Her. So I figured these films would be obscure enough. Two of these are foreign language films as well but I guess that doesn't cut it. Oh well, everyone's a cinephile.

[@Gravitynaut]

+brian0918 I'm pretty sure people who have seen these movies don't go to only ScreenJunkies for movie reccomendations.

[@Ben.Hubble]

Another film that a lot of people haven't watched is stalag 17 . Brilliant.

[@jordanevans7710]

I'm so glad you included That Thing You Do! I think you are absolutely right, that it is "pure joy." Some critics (Siskel & Ebert) knocked it for not commenting on anything like music, or trends/fads, or the 60's or whatever. But that's because it was too busy having fun with likeable characters, funny banter, and a love of music--all while servicing a good story. Really enjoyed the segment!

[@misshellaj]

My favorite is Oscar. It was made in 1991, directed by John Landis. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen and in my whole 33 years of life I've only met one other person who has seen it. It stars Sylvester Stallone which is why I think many people haven't watched it but if you like comedies like Arsenic and Old Lace then you will really like this movie. I would also recommend Big Trouble starring Tim Allen. It was released in 2002 and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Has a big name cast but is another of those movies that I seem to be the only person to know about.

[@mysteryshrimp]

Love Oscar.

[@ViviNyc1]

I've seen it, and love it!

[@whutzat]

Good!!

[@Starbits7]

great movie!

[@Mina-nk8pg]

It's a remake of a french film starring Louis de Funes, which in itself was based on a play by Claude Magnier. As american remakes go this one is, in my honest opinion, one of the best ever made.... and that is a high praise since they usually ruin the original material. I suggest you give the original one a try if you can, it's a classic and one of Funes's best works :)

[@LeePlaysLife]

Thanks for having me, and nice to be here had a baby 0:44

[@NeonCinema]

Screen Junkies should continue with this, breath of fresh air from the typical Marvel and DC

[@dolamitic]

In Bruges and Nightcrawler. Watch both.

[@foxybingo1112]

Everyone's seen Nightcrawler, great film, and In Bruges is brilliant.

[@imnotwatchin]

Edge of Darkness, anyone ?

[@anomaly108]

yep

[@LookAtTheBacon]

yup

[@josephgood2704]

That's not even 10 years old. Had a massive budget with tons of commercials. and made over 100 mil in box office. It's underrated but doesn't fit in this category.

[@TheLobster99]

YES! Rules of Attraction is one of my all-time favorite films!!!

[@danielstoner7807]

I dunno how "hidden" it is, but "Sleepers" is incredible and not a lot of people have seen it.

[@Kez_h]

Daniel Stoner with Brad Pitt? that was a really good depressing movie. RIZO!

[@DiscoveringMusic]

My hidden gem : Harold and Maude

[@anti0918]

Very well-known film

[@shazang0]

The ultimate white people movie.

[@sitcomsTV]

Take color out of it.

[@DiscoveringMusic]

Sorry guys, i really know only 1 person who has seen in :)

[@liamhoward2208]

There’s something about Mary ( 🎶 )

[@all_n_sai]

DEFINITELY ONE FOR THE BOOKS!!! If you want a great adventure movie with a bit of other genres added in-between, I'd highly recommend the 2002' version of "THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO". My girlfriend and I seriously may have watched this movie 50 times and it never gets old!!!

[@dedcaesar2325]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Sunshine Snowpiercer Road to Perdition

[@jc2367]

sunshine, very good.

[@redhood_96]

Snowpiercer is probably Chris Evans's best movie in my opinion.

[@SNIP3INAT0R]

I freakin love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

[@aabidamn]

Snowpiercer is really bad. The action and premise aren't plausible.

[@elpaco25]

obviously the train and engine are pretty fictitious but whats wrong with the action?

[@NeonsDwelling]

Would Spaceballs fall under this category?

[@kendlerj5357]

Not sure. But I've seen that movie so many times and have it on my quotable list of daily impactful quotes lol

[@AndjelkaDjukic]

Aaaa love that you mentioned Before the devil knows you're dead, it's the move I always recommend and then talk about it with every single person that has seen it! Also - Killing is amazing!:D

"What we do in the shadows" does anybody like it? Cause I really like to watch it.

[@NabrocMajere]

Perfume (the story of a murderer) Bronson Boondock Saints Equilibrium Dark City Swiss Army Man

[@mysteryshrimp]

I was in a convention panel that eulogized Alan Rickman and David Bowie. When I started talking about Perfume, there were exactly two reactions from the crowd: "Oh my god that was the greatest movie/book", and a blank stare.

[@NabrocMajere]

Indeed. Perfume is a wonderful film that suffered from under exposure and bad marketing. I happened to see a poster in the theater for it and was one of the lucky few who got it's trailer in front of another film. I was captivated and couldn't wait to see it. After waiting and waiting for it to be released I finally checked online for its opening day only to find out it was already in and out of theaters. After buying it and finally seeing this masterful cinematic experience, I have continually lent out my copy to introduce this virtually unknown treasure to others. I have yet to get a bad review back.

[@Kez_h]

Nabroc Majere perfume was insanity! it was so great though.

[@shoujokakumei39]

Boondocks saints? That's too popular for this list. Perfume had a good built up and then a fucking weird ass ending I thought.

[@lukeLawz]

This was a great episode. It's so refreshing to see you guys talk about films that aren't massive blockbusters.

[@EduardoMartinez-po6bt]

WOULD GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS COUNT???

[@mysteryshrimp]

In America it certainly would. Great fish-out-of-water movie.

[@Kez_h]

mysteryshrimp Fish Tank as well. my Bff is from in his own words more "common" parts of England. He was amazing at how accurately the rougher side of England was portrayed. the rough kids and housing. he was like "this is what real england is like" and he didn't mean it proudly lol

[@hollyroxy25]

I saw the rules of attraction in the theater when i was 15 & my idiotic cousins just did not get it at all. They HATED it & were pissed i took them to see it. They're the kind of people that love mindless dumb movies like transformers.

[@cinemaniac78]

I saw it with a friend who didn't appreciate it, and I think he also blamed me for choosing the movie.

[@littlekasino]

It's a layered film, I saw it on DVD in my early twenties but I doubt I'd have appreciated it in my teens.

[@hollyroxy25]

littlekasino well I was 15 but my 2 cousins were 22 & 27

[@littlekasino]

+Holly Roxy OK, I'll admit I'm all out of excuses!

[@hollyroxy25]

littlekasino I stopped trying to make excuses for them years ago, sadly they're just not very intelligent lol. Sounds mean to say but it's true
