Overlooked Movies

[Gene K]

Do you have a movie that you particularly love that's never drawn big attention?

For me it's "Finding Forrester" (2000) with Rob Brown and Sean Connery.

Year of Living Dangerously

+1 Vangelis soundtrack.

Not sure why LA Confidential did not appear to be a hit.

Valley of the Dolls.

Uncle Buck
While You We're Sleeping
Witness

Manhunter from 1986. Michael Mann as Director and William Petersen as Actor.
The first movie ever made with a Hannibal Lector story. Pure 80s.
The soundtrack is also extremly good.

It Happened on Fifth Avenue​

1947.
My mother and I watched it every Xmas... Not much Xmas at all in it.
Just a great quaint movie.

It's A Mad, Mad World .... killer funny with many of the 1960s comedians.

It's A Mad, Mad World .... killer funny with many of the 1960s comedians. My two boys just about smothered laughing
as young teens when I watch that movie with them.

I watched that so many times that I don't think I could again but it was great and long..

I was looking for a VHS to rent at the video store, anyone remember those? I had seen a trailer for Finding Forrester and thought it sounded worthwhile. The girl at the counter told me it was a basketball movie. I almost put it back. It was a basketball movie like While You Were Sleeping was a furniture movie. I have both on DVD now, along with Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Blazing Saddles.

My wife and I loved Just Friends. I laugh my ass off every time I come across it on cable. But it seems like no one else has even heard of it.
