Jan 2014

so I've seen a lot of indies and foreign films that never got big releases. Here are a few I would recommend, in no particular order:

Red Rock West
The Last Seduction
The Last Butterfly - a concentration camp story
Truly, Madly, Deeply
The Commitments - a r&b band in Ireland
The Rapture - what if the rapture really happened. Mimi Rogers and David Duchovny. BTW, I'm an atheist and I still found it fascinating.
Anything directed by John Sayles
Hear My Song
Pastime - really good baseball movie
Citizen X - an HBO film about the first Russian serial killer
Heavenly Creatures - early Peter Jackson film with a young Kate Winslet
The Grifters
Dream Lover - 1993, when James Spader was sexy
Local Hero
Any film directed by Hal Hartley, especially from the 80's and 90's

BTW, you can watch a lot of classic films here: http://www.openculture.com/freemoviesonline
