EPTAnyway, reading a synopsis of it will probably make you think it's a bad frat house movie, but it's really a solid comedy, narrative, and emotional story, with a side of social commentary. Plus part musical.

It was hillarious and serious at the same time. Not sure how hidden it is. (Only 34 000 voters on IMDB) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341167/?ref_=sr_1 | ||

I had never heard of it and didn't expect anything of it. I was on a documentary watching spree and it was just one of around 20 random documentary movies I watched recently and it was easily the best of those 20. ![[image loading]](http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/banksy-exit-through-the-gift-shop-limited-movie-poster.jpg) | ||

The one with the Joker (Jack Nickolson) was allright but "Batman returns" with the Penguin and Catwoman was so amazing that I couldnt believe it. So many great ideas, so much emotion (feeling sorry for the deformed Penguin). Its one of my favorite movies now. Of course its not a serious movie, its a big crazy fantasymovie; one that makes your deeper parts in the brain rotate (those that try to stabalize your reality). crotesque and funny! I especially love the part, when the Penguin remotecontrolls the Batmobile, while sitting in a kids toy version of the Batmobile himself! other better than expected movies: the Hobbit Gamer Thank you for smoking (why do so few know this one? its so amazingly good) Deep Rising btw: does anybody know good but unknown Anime-Movies? like "spirited away" | ||

When I came to this thread I expected to see independent, or amateur staff, some relic from the past which can be only found on private trackers, or a neat documentary with limited circulations - not godfucking Lost In Overappraisal. Couldn't agree more..99% of what I've seen in this thread I am pretty sure is very well known/acclaimed on some level, not saying it's a bad thing they're all great movies but there is a movie thread for that.. | ||

its a great thread for people who dont only want to see the IMDB 200 but movies that satisfy alternative interests and arent totally braindead (braindead is an awesome movie too btw). also the hidden gems you are talking about are probably only for art students that talk about how well cut the movie is. all in all this thrad is a great inspiration. lets keep it going plz | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.dolph-ultimate.com/gallery/universal3/Universal-Soldier-3.jpg) Really good, especially if you've seen universal soldier 1, completely different tone in this one though. If you're new to the universal soldier movies you don't have to watch and of the previous ones to get this movie, it's probably not even meant as a direct sequel. My advice is to skip the second and the 4th movies and watch 1 + 3, Dolph has the most amazing psychotic breakdown in this one leading up to a good old universal showdown  | ||

Have you tried reading? My patience with uneducated scum is like you is running low. To see what this thread is about read page one post one. Since I am sincere I will quote it for you. Page 1 Post 1 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. The Rundown Big Nothing 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? EDIT: When posting a film, post it with an IMDB link if at all possible. Edit: In case you have comprehensive fails, it basicly means that you can post movies that turned out better than you expected (regardless of how mainstream) AND movies that are less known but still were decent and might be interesting to a certain group. If you for example thought that Fight club was a movie about boxing, than you might be surprised by it and (if) liked it, then you can post it here. I hope you can understand now. | ||
