Lesser Known Movies Worth Seeing

[reveal]

See, for my generation, that movie was Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Not that that caused me to fear anything... like phone booths, or military school's in Alaska, or anything like that. But we all quoted it to death in High School.

Bill and Ted was my generation too. But I still watched, and loved, Dazed and Confused.

I'll also chime in with a couple of others:

I'll second Run,Lola,Run and The Red Violin.
I'll add:
The King of Masks
Central Station: Amazing performance by Fernando Monentegro
The Musketeer: Kinda cheesy, but a great popcorn flick!!
Children of Heaven
The Emperor and the Assassin

And going back a ways:
The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover
Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
The Wedding Banquet

Same here. And my older brother -- of the Fast Times at Ridgemont High generation -- loves Dazed and Confused even more than I do.

Examples?

Their hair is too long (at my school the boys couldn't have hair past their ears until 1977)!

 

[Simplicity]

Cube
Cube Zero
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (too popular for the list?)
Event Horizon
Kentucky Fried Movie
Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist (Great once you realize they're remaking a movie by super-imposing some schmoe over old Kung Fu movies)
The Hudsucker Proxy
The Last Supper

I'll also second (or third)...
Dark City
Run, Lola, Run
Shawn of the Dead
Titus

The Last Supper

Thank you, this was the movie I was thinking of here.
