![[image loading]](http://mandylaiii.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/love_me_if_you_dare_ver1.jpg) J'eux D'enfants / Love Me If You Dare - Without a doubt one of the best LOOKING films as far as cinematography, effects, and the rest goes... A kind of offbeat story with a neat way of looking at romance, some of the funniest/most memorable scenes, and great acting (obviously). The story does have a few jumps in it that are strange, but it's forgivable. Watch it with your loved one, or alone. A great experience either way. | ||

Especially if you were awake! I'm still working with that whole thing. I don't really watch too many movies, (3-5 a year) especially action ones, mainly because of all the "bad ones" out there. This my explain my lack of movie mind. | ||

And some trog even mentioned an Adam Sandler movie.. wtf. Lets analyse the op's post then. I have bolded the parts that you and several other people seem to have completely missed. Surprisingly good films/Hidden Gems Have you ever sat down to watch a film, and been surprised at how good it is? I don't mean you watch a film you thought would be good, and it was great. Rather a film you thought would be just alright, but it turned out to be a good film. Or any hidden gems you know of? Films that are good but not many people have even heard of? I recently watched Welcome to the Jungle (The Rundown) staring the Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and a film with him just sounds lame. But it was a good film, not just good for the Rock, but a good film! Very surprised by that, and I really enjoyed it. I also watched Big Nothing staring Simon Pegg, and I had never heard of it before and it sounded a bit lame, but again it was a really good film. By hidden gem I mean films that are hidden from the audience that will enjoy them. The film could be hidden because it was relatively low budget, and had little to no advertising. Or because it's own advertising/promotion/actors/synopsis shrouded what the film truly was. I don't mean simply hidden from main stream. So what about you? Any surprisingly good hidden films you know of? | ||

Saw it by coincidence on television sometime. Somewhat a parody on star trek, but remains intelligent. | ||

This film is absolutely awesome. Buckaroo Banzai is a sort of super hero, doctor, singer, guitarist, racing driver, best friend of the US president, scientist, and with his friends, he saves the world against almost everything (including communism and aliens). The evil guy is a drug man who is totally in love with... Electricity. Yeah, that's that kind of film. Strongly recommended, if you have one or two buddies with you. :p | ||

Has some fairytale type elements and is loosely about dreams. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1071804/ A lot of decent suggestions in this thread I'll check out. I'd like to second the following (maybe you can figure out if you would like Ink) Pi, Moon, Pandorum, Pan's Labyrinth, Machinist, Serenity, Requiem for a dream, Clockwork Orange, Existenz, Gattaca, Shallow Grave, Buckaroo Bonzai, Lola Rennt | ||

Bridge to Terabithia Why it's hidden: It looks like a stupid kids movie, esp. from the trailers and marketing. Why it's good: It's anything but stupid, elegantly telling the situations that we might associate with "a simpler time" with surprisingly complex feeling. The child actors are brilliant. This is one of my favorite movies, I've watched it quite a few times and I'll watch it more. He Got Game Why it's hidden: It defies the expectations of the sports movie genre. Why it's good: See above. The depths that it reveals, especially regarding the role sports can play in how we relate to others, both people close to us and the outside world, is striking. It makes sports mean something, and I don't mean the standard "our town is in a depression/we are from the wrong side of the tracks, but we really pull together as a team and this win/championship means something". SubUrbia Why it's hidden: It's hard to find/see, I only caught it once on Encore or something. It's not on DVD (supposedly in the works, but has been for a while). Why it's good: Strikes right at the heart of the late-teenage to adulthood transition in life, the seeking of purpose. The characters are amazing, the conversations remind me of the kinds of things real people I know would have. I have never seen anything come close to capturing it the way this did. I am dying to see this again. Edit: Oh wow, found it on youtube: Renaissance Why it's hidden: Experimental-ish, foreign, not much acclaim. Why it's good: The visual style is unique and is the main draw. It fits perfectly with the straight-forward but exciting sci-fi noir story, creating a memorable experience. Recommended if you liked things like Avatar or Hero. If you didn't you might not see anything in this. | ||

Musashi Miyamoto Totally epic person and an epic 3 part series is what such a person deserves. This it my favourite Samurai movie of all time. It's really more like 1 long movie split into 3 parts, lord of the rings style than 3 separate movies. Definitely a must see, I'm considering re-watching it now. | ||
