Movies, that you love that are not blockbuster hits.

[DerickVonD]

What are some of your favorite movies, that were never really big in the box office or aren't all that popular with the general public? I'll go first some of my favorite non-blockbuster movies are: Bil and Ted (both of them), and The Cable Guy. My favorite movie of all time is Terminator 2, which obviously doesn't count in this thread since it was a major blockbuster hit, but it's been my favorite movie since I was 6.

For some reason the old "B' movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space has always been a fav of mine.

Just saw Quarantine yesterday. Pretty good... in a creepy way.:surprised:

 

[suncloud]

boondock saints i don't think it qualifies as a "blockbuster", though it is a cult favorite.

[silverSurfer]

I laughed through Quarantine, but liked it.

My favorites include but are not limited to: dreamcatcher, puppet master, the prophecy, ninja scroll, the adventures of milo and ottis, juno, gosford park, the prodigal son (kung fu flick), ...

Dogville is 3 hours long and filmed on a stage like a play but if you can get beyond that it's a great story.

Unbreakable - Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson

NOOOoooOOOOooooOOOOooo! :chairshot:

Fight Club would be one for me for sure. Not a commercially successful film so it counts.

Props to everyone who mentioned Boondock Saints - also to the guy that got The Prophecy in there and the other dude that mentioned the new version of Dawn of the Dead.

Thought Mr. Brooks w/Dane Cook & Kevin Costner was an awesome film too.
