Saw this sitting in my parents DVD rack for the longest time before I decided to watch it, really amazing war film. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was amazing as well, a lesser known film from Miyazaki, but really amazing and beautiful. | ||

Also about big fish.. if you already say it's one of burton's best movies, that means that you generally like his movies.. which means that again its not a surprise or a hidden gem.... | ||

Stalag 17 William Holden is an enterprising solider in a Nazi POW camp. However he somehow gets pinned as a Nazi spy by his bunk mates while the real spy is left free. Really a great comedy. | ||

I'd say hidden qualifies as something you haven't heard of (IE wasn't commercials on TV) or something that had commercials, looked like crap, but was actually really good. Recommendations that fall in that category are the Pixar type films (I'd never watch "How to Train your Dragon" without being recommended) or chick flicks that were good. Because most people here are guys and wouldn't ordinarily want to watch them. Just "good" movies go in the Movies thread. Especially something like V for Vendetta... if you lived through the Bush Administration and were semi aware of the world- you enjoyed this movie. The timing was just perfect and was well advertised. Wasn't even that long ago. edit: I watch about 3 movies or less a year over the last 8 years so I'm really not someone who considers myself a "movie guy". This thread has me wanting to watch some more unusual ones though. Thank you. | ||

It is a cult hit among those who enjoy shoot'em ups. It also is one of the few movies that has a similar feel to The Matrix. Most ppl know that it's fairly cheesy. But as a shoot'em up and sci-fi dystopia film that isn't particularly well-known and did badly in the box-office ... it's quite good. | ||

If you found a move to be surprisingly good, then I think it fits in this thread. On topic: Let the Right One In really surprised me as a good movie. | ||
