Re: What's your favorite film that isn't too popular?
Goodness...so many...I'll stick wit a war film or two...
1st that comes to mind is Thin Red Line. Love that movie. Tense, well made and says something about the duality of mankind. Also loved Hell in the Pacific with Lee Marvin and Japanese Star _____________________. Two high strung pilots who are living out the war as shot down pilots on the same out of the way island. The two enemies come to trust eachother in order to save themselves. Interesting ending. I'm a former netflix guy and current $5.99 bin hunter. Love those obsure, well made titles that noone will ever see.

Gonna have to rent this. I really like Lee Marvin (I just got Paint Your Wagon for xmas). The plot sounds somewhat similar to the sci-fi classic Enemy Mine.

Two movies I've seen recently that stood our were Good Night and Good Luck, and Capote. Both were far better than I even expected them to be. Older movies... True Romance is a classic - go out and rent it right now if you haven't seen it already. It's basically a Christian Slater/Patricia Arquette love story. And Elvis makes an appearance or two.  And The Usual Suspects wasn't very big when it was released, but got a lot of life after it came out on VHS/DVD. Brilliant movie.

Re: What's your favorite film that isn't too popular?
I have to agree with Labyrinth, Donnie Darko, Office Space and Cube. All fantastic films when taken for what they are (cube for example was shot on a budget of about $300,000CA and all in one room). Bubba, if you have not seen Cube Zero it's worth a look.
The two films that I think should be in the best all-time list but have hardly been recognised are Clockers and Trespass (the 1992 film, not the new one). Both have gangs at their theme, but very different stroies to tell. The first is a gritty adventure of how a young gang member (played by Mekhi Phifer) tries to survive in the drug game, and I still think is amongst Spike Lee's best work. The latter is a fun 'gang-spoof' film that is a modern remake of a Charlie Chaplain classic called Goldrush. Very fun with superb touches all over the place (like Ice Cube in a very bright cyan coloured long coat).
