Ten of the Most Underrated(and underseen) Movies (I done seen)

  I don't how many of you folks know this, but I'm a bit of a movie buff and I reckon this here's a nice list of movies y'all ain't never seen before.  But you should, cuz they's awesome.

In no part'cler order:


 Dead Man- (deerected by Jim Jarmusch, Starrin Johnny Depp)

 It's one of them westerns shot in the purtiest black and white you ever saw. It's a very deep movie about life and death and such, kinda like that there existentialism.




Juggernaut (directed by Richard Lester, Starring Richard Harris)

 It's one of them excitin thriller's from the 70's, takes place on a cruise ship and there's bombs involved. not a lot of action, but a shit ton of tension.


Suspiria (directed by Dario Argento starring Jessica Harper)

 It's the king of 1970's Italian horror movies, it's all about the beauty of violence and is one of the last movies shot on that old timey 3 strip technocolor process. It don't make no sense,  but man is it purty to look at and full of creepy atmosphere.




Manhunter (directed by Michael Mann , starring William Petersen)

 First movie to feature Hannibal Lecter and I reckon it could give Silence of the Lambs a run for it's money.  Great performances, kickass villain, a great performance of Lecter by Brian Cox too. Check it out.





Point Blank (directed by John Boorman, starring Lee (fuckin) Marvin)

 Lee Marvin is pissed off and he wants his money....... that's enough to wanna see it ain't it?




Bronson (directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Tom Hardy)

 Hardy plays the longest servin prisoner in Britain (based on real feller) and he is a big time badass,  one of those all time great actin performances that got lost at Oscar time.  It's brutal but boy is it a good movie.




Life is Beautiful (directed by and starring Roberto Benigni)

 Yeah , he won the Oscar for best actor for this movie, but I reckon not many folks have actually seent it. It'll make ye laugh, it'll make ya cry, it'll make you love the movies again. It's a wonderful wonderful film.


The Ballad of Cable Hogue (directed by Sam Peckinpah, starring Jason Robards)

 It's kind of a western, but it's really just a fun movie that makes ya thank bout yer future and how to live yer life to it's fullest. (hell I made the best batch a corn liquor in 20 years after watchin this here flick)   It's just a great , small little film that I happen to really like a lot.




Wild at Heart (Directed by David Lynch, starring Nicholas Cage)

 Many of my older readers mighta seent this'n already,  but if you haven't run right now out and by it (or watch it on that Netflicks)  it's the Wizard of Oz....kinda....via David Lynch and Nick Cage.  It's a freakin whirlwind of awesome wrapped up in a big ole ribbon of holy shit



and last but not least...........

Reanimator/From Beyond/Dagon (all 3  directed by Stuart Gordon)

 Stuart Gordon is an underappreciated pitcher maker.  All 3 of these here movies are damn good entertainment, he doesn't just make scary movies, he doesn't just make gory movies, or funny movies,  he makes good movies that happened to be scary gory and funny!!  Most of his movies are good, but these 3 in par'tickler are my favorites.








Watch any of em, and let me know how ya liked em!!! (and looky there, ya thought you's gettin 10 movies and I threw in 2 more for free!!!!  enjoy!!!!


see ya at the fishin hole!!
