"Lucky Number Sleven" is one I own. Love it. Another one with Bruce Willis
along the same lines, you may like, "16 Blocks"

As far as obscurity... An older film called "3 Days in the Valley".

I'm not much for most Chick Flicks, but "Diary of a Geisha" is a good one.

Others on my favorites list:
Open Range
Clear and Present Danger
Cold Mountain
True Grit (original and remake)
True Lies
Fifth Element
A Few Good Men
Australia
A Time to Kill
and many more.

only reason why I don't mind Lucky Number Sleven is because Bruce Willis doesnt say much... :thumb:

Frailty was great.

Bronson is one of my favorites.

I'll add to the list...

White Lightnin' (Jesco White story)
Something The Lord Made (Everyone should see this. Today.)

Oh, and about Bronson...

I wouldn't watch it if you have issues with extreme profanity and/or full frontal male nudity.

You've been warned.

thought of a couple more over lunch

Wild at Heart http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100935/
Back when Nicolas Cage was still cool

The Hidden http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093185/
If you can get past the 80's soundtrack you will be missing the whole point of the movie. Alien taking over bodies rocking to 80's death metal

The World According to Garp http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084917/
IMO best Robin Williams flick, and best use of a Beatles tune

The Virgin Suicides http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159097/
Sofia Collola's first full length

After Hours http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088680/
maybe one of the least known Martin Scorses films

I should of mentioned that about Bronson, but half of my picks warrent some form of warning

The Vanishing - The original European version in 3 languages, not the crappy hollywood remake with Keiffer Sutherland.

For those who can understand French: Elvis Gratton (the first one)

:popcorn:

Roper of Goats. Old ones.
I seem to gravitate towards movies based on real events. Here's another one, suitable for any age...

Fly Away Home

Amy is only 13 years old when her mother is killed in an auto wreck in New Zealand. She goes to Canada to live with her father, an eccentric inventor whom she barely knows. Amy is miserable in her new life...that is until she discovers a nest of goose eggs that were abandoned when developers began tearing up a local forest. The eggs hatch and Amy becomes "Mama Goose". The young birds must fly south for the winter, but who will lead them there? With a pair of ultralight airplanes, Amy, her dad and their friends must find a way to do it... ​

Fantastic cinematography directed by the same guy who also did the movies Wind, Never Cry Wolf, and The Black Stallion.

You need to understand that, in producing this movie, they had to duplicate with real geese what the original people had done.

Despite the occasional bits of hokey dialogue, this a wonderful movie...


If you manage to get the right DVD edition, there are also some great bonuses, including some very cool in-flight footage shot by the people on whom this story is based. Its fascinating stuff.

Another great bonus is a selection which allows you to watch the entire movie with only the musical soundtrack along with an interspersed voice-over from Mark Isham, (also did Never Cry Wolf) who wrote and produced the music. This is a very interesting insight into how music is developed for movies as well as other trivia. For instance, did you know that the song "10,000 Miles" sung by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and used to great effect in the opening and closing scenes, has no time signature?
