"I'll be your huckleberry"

I was also going to mention Buckaroo Banzai, but it's pretty quirky; most of the people I have recommended it to haven'tliked it. It is a good place to see some real stars at the beginning of their carreers, Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Loyd, Clancy Brown.

And a girl named John.

My favorite "unknown" movie is "Scorchers". It starred Faye Dunaway, James Earl Jones and Kirstie Alley's Ex - boyfriend. The movie is set in Louisiana and is about a prostitute, a newlywed and a woman whose husband is cheating on her. It rocks.

I can't believe anyone else has seen this movie. My brother and I probably watched that movie a hundred times when we were teenagers. Christopher Walken is awesome in that movie. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The old mexican man is great. I can't believe someone else loves it as much as we do.

Army of Darkness is also hilarious. Have you seen the Evil Dead movies that come before it?

I love a Room with a View. You guys have awesome taste in movies.

I love "Local Hero", "A Walk on the Moon", "Avalon", "Empire of the Sun", "Hope & Glory", "The Wedding Banquet".

Circle of Friends with Minnie Driver, Chris O'Donnell and a wonderfully sleazy Alan Cumming.

My Brilliant Career with Judy Davis (I believe it was one of her first films) and Sam Neill

Some of my all time favorite "unknowns"...

The Great Race w/Jack Lemmon & Tony Curtis - this is a family favorite!

Duct Tape Forever - from the Red Green show

Porkys

"Somewhere in Time" Jane Seymore and Christopher Reeves
"Paper Moon" Ryan O'Neal and Tatum O'Neal

Another great (e.g. cheesy) 80's movie -- Midnight Madness

 

[outstandinfarmer]

Disney's The Kid
Nothing to Lose

And I'm sure you've seen this one but. . .

What About Bob

I have other favs, but I tried to think of ones that everyone probably hadn't seen

Another really funny one- albeit somewhat obscure was Crazy People with Dudley Moore where he's the ad exec who has a mental breakdown and wants to tell the truth in his ad campaigns-
Jaguar... for men who want Hand J*bs from strange women they barely know.
Volvo- boxy but good.

Another vote for Tombstone and Waking Ned Divine.

The Matchmaker...has a little of that quirky Irish humor that Waking Ned Divine has....love the tanning bed part!!!
