1. Rabbit Proof Fence

2. Hobo with a shotgun

3. Cinema Paradiso

   Old boy (original)

   Delicatessen

4. “What we did on our holiday” indie British film with David Tennant and Billy Connolly.

5. Greasy Strangler

6. Two Lane Blacktop – Warren Oates is outstanding.

   Spring and Port Wine – kitchen sink drama set up north.

   Two completely different films – enjoy them.

7. Slingblade. Heartbreakingly sad, yet optimistically beautiful at the same time. An absolute gem of a film.

8. Pusher 1996

9. *Once*, a 2007 film about two people making music in Dublin. Small and beautiful.

10. Session 9

11. Short Eyes – 1970s prison film where a nonce is placed in one of the roughest prisons in New York. Things unfold from there. Terrific acting plus Curtis Mayfield more or less cameos as himself.

    Bullhead – Tense Belgian crime film with Matthias Schoenaerts

12. Shot caller
    (7.3/10 imdb)

    A newly released prisoner is forced by the leaders of his gang to orchestrate a major crime with a brutal rival gang on the streets of Southern California.

13. Maybe not a film that isn’t too well known, but also I ask people and it seems that nobody really watched it.

    In Bruges.

    First film from Martin McDonagh, who directed Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri.

    Also an added bonus. A great TV show called Utopia. Don’t watch the US version, it’s probably shite, but the UK one is amazing.

14. Rubber, the murdering tyre.

15. I don’t know if it’s as amazing as I remember it but when I was younger and still living with my parents I stayed up late. About 3am a film came on with Michael cera and kat dennings, 2 actors I quite liked at the time.

    Nick and noras infinite playlist. I have only seen it the once in a relatively sleep deprived state but I remember thinking it’s incredible and I have never watched it again as I’m afraid it might actually be mediocre or even shit and my fully awake brain will know it.

    It’s better in my memory, no need to risk finding out its awful.

    That or Tucker and Dale vs evil. Lots of laughs there.

16. Dave made a maze

    Dead Man’s shoes

    Farming

    —— some films that I liked, that are ‘lesser known’

17. Stranger Than Fiction. For the first half an hour I thought it was rubbish, now I think it’s amazing

18. The plague dogs, Watership downs oft forgotten but equally terrifying cousin.

19. It’s reasonably well known among sci-fi fans – but Primer (2004) is one that a lot of people won’t have heard off. One of the most ‘realistic’ takes on time travel every done.

20. Brick

21. I’m sure a fair few people on here have seen some of these, but I rarely meet anybody irl who’ve seen any of these, and they’re all spectacular.

    – Farewell My Concubine (1983)

    – Lilja 4—ever (2002)

    – City of God (2002)

    – Confessions (2010)

    – The Skin I Live In (2011)

    – Metro Manila (2013)

22. Happiness of the Katakuris. If you like musicals and zombies, this one’s for you.

23. 30 days of night, I only know one other person who’s seen it

24. Lars and the Real Girl – a gem I don’t hear anyone else talk about

25. The Imposter (2012) is an amazing documentary, which I am always disappointed at how few people seem to have seen it.

26. Place Beyond The Pines
