U - turn. JLo in a fab movie with loads of twists.

[blueeyedlass]

amores perros a kind of strange foreign film but a very good one.

[yeahyeahyeah]

color purple! a brilliant moving film!

[Philtaz]

Probably Enemy Mine with Dennis Quaid.  Other than that some of the 'kids'(under 25's) in work look at me daft when I talk about classics like Ice Cold In Alex or Lawrence Of Arabia so it's hard to determine 'not very well known'.

"en plein coeur" or "les diaboliques" thanks to french A-level & BBC4. both are fantastic films of different sorts.

"en plein coeur" is incredibly watchable, full of intrigue and emotional links as well as a unique set of characters and some strange relationships & interactions between them

"les diaboliques" is very well directed and fantastically written (up to the last 3 or 4 scenes) unexpected plotlines, definitely worth watching

'The Tennent' directed by, and starring Roman Polanski. If you don't know what the word 'paranoia' means when you go in to see this film, you will when you come out!

'Raining Stones', a Ken Loach film from the mid-nineties.

[nicola_red]

Baise-Moi, a French feminist film.  I can't describe any of its contents on a family site!

[bernardo]

"Sex Mission": a low-budget comedy from Poland.  Two men wake up after being in suspended animation for 50 years, to find a world populated entirely by women.  They have to escape and re-populate the world with both sexes by contaminating the baby-factory with their sperm.

"Cria Cuervos", superb spanish film, well worth a look.

[butter1]

Foul play - with Goldie Hawn and Chevvy Chase.  love it.

Dot in the Outback - A cartoon girl in Oz befriends a real life kangaroo and they go an adventure to get her home, they meet a platypus and loads of other animals, and the kangaroo has a baby Joey that looks like a slug.  It was well shot for it's years.  Keep meaning to buy it - somebody managed to name it for me on here a few weeks ago as I couldn't remember it or find it anywhere.  All children everywhere should watch this film!

Dot and the Kangaroo - I got the name wrong.

[greenfingers]

Murphy's Romance starring James Garner and Sally Field, and a strange little wartime film by Michael Powell and Emric Pressburger called A Canterbury Tale.

[spudqueen]

greenfingers - I also love a Canterbury Tale and another of my favourites is the Search, which found me sobbing so much I had red eyes. Also the Mission of the Shark (or something like that) with John Boy Walton.

[GucciGal]

I have two - Requiem For A Deam and Run Lola Run, two fab films!

[MargeB]

psshhht bah psssshhhht bah
Yes. Requiem for a dream is awesome.

[MargeB]

SECRETARY! loooool

[fairman]

-THE ENIGMA OF KASPER HAUSER, a German film, I think about a boy who has been isolated from other humans until his late teens and is then unleashed on the world! True story I believe from the 19th century
-HAROLD & MAUDE, What can I say, quality wierdness
- ??? - If any one knows a film with Elliot Gould in it, Involving shooting people in the park from his apartment, pretty wierd black comedy, but I remember thinking it was pretty darn good at the time
