Films that slipped through the net

[Dogbark]

"Cactus Jack" aka "The Villian". 1979

Kirk Douglas as a hapless cowboy bad guy.. Hard to explain, but think a live action Road Runner filum.

Also features Arnie, so terrible he's good.

Full filum, and in decent quality...

Amazing acting talent by arnie there

The Codfather?

 

[Cypher]

Cheers mate I know who he is, but I meant in game of thrones? I can't find him.

I read it somewhere once but having looked it up it's looks like he isn't in it. I've never seen it.

The Guard. Another cracker which slipped under many radars.

Same as ‘The General’ too. Another great film with Brendan Gleeson in it.

 

[Junior Birdman]

Election is amazing.

 

[Motor City Cobra]

The Dish
The Castle

Two excellent Aussie films that don't seem to get the praise they deserve IMO

animal kingdom

 

[General Zod]

The Codfather?

Is that the one starring minnow-na Ryder?

 

[Bakerlooline]

Awkward but...
I went to see one about some Paras caught in a minefield, Kabaldi or summit it was called.
Great film and made even more special by only having 1 showing in Pools and the place was full of old Paras wearing their berets and badges on the blazers.

They weren’t all Paras.

'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' gets great reviews but is relatively unheard of. I still haven't watched it.

The Quiet Earth.

Few people have said the same thing. I'll get around to watching it eventually.

 

[Wise Man Says]

Magic. Anthony Hopkins plays a ventriloquist. Really good horror film, I rarely see it mentioned

Some on here don't like it as 'nothing happens'.

Edit: Buried starring Ryan Reynolds is in a similar vein and also excellent.

I adore Tom Hardy but this 'movie' is absolute garbage. It may pass as an 'acting tour de force' as a radio play, but as a fillum? Do me a favour.

Alex turner does the tunes

This looks tremendous. I'm going to download it.

seconded, terrific film that pretty much made Hopkins' reputation in Hollywood IIRC
