Someone else said "Dead Again" and I have to agree.
Another person said The Jerk... some movies are so funny you laugh every thime you seem them.
Whale Rider. I think a lot of people have seen this since Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Oscar.
Another one is Daddy Longlegs.. Fred Astaire and Lesley Caron dance the Slew-foot while the Ray Anthony Orchestra plays... now that's a great movie moment.
It troubles me how many less then 30-year-olds there are out there who have never seen the original Planet of the Apes.
A really good movie is The Magdelene Sisters (top awards at Cannes, Venice, and Sundance) you MUST watch this movie and watch the documentary the movie was based on, which is on the DVD.
I am going to rent the Magdalene Sisters. I know it is a true story and very sad. That kind of puts me off.

Dead Again is one of my all time favorites too!
Teen Wolf, Just One of the Guys, The Toxic Avenger, Benny and Joon
sliding doors... ranks up there with memento in creativity and originality... and gwyneth paltrow rocks!!
Pleasantville is one of my favorite movies of all time but almost no one I've meet remembers it.
I loveThe Ritz also, boobs. That is an hysterical movie.
One of my favorite, little known movies is Twin Falls, Idaho.
Garbo Speaks was wonderful.

From The Ritz:
CHRIS: They're called "Chubby Chasers."
GABE: Really? We had a guy like that in the army. We just called him "Get Away From Me, Claude!"
From The Jerk:
NAVIN: "I'm picking out a Thermos for you..."
Regarding SOMEWHERE IN TIME: There is a huge cult of (mostly) middle-aged women who are obsessed with that movie. They dress up in period costumes and make annual pilgrimages to Macinac Island, staying at the Grand Hotel and re-enacting events from the movie.
I was just waiting for you to say Xanadu, Mister Matt.

Favorite Sci-Fi, not very known movie- Avalon.
Most of the people I talk to also don't know that there was a movie version of "Much Ado About Nothing". They heard that Keanu was in it, asked to borrow the DVD, which I refuse to do if it's only to see him, since his acting makes me laugh, it's so bad.
Has got to be Mambo Italiano. My favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas, but now Hot Topic has that dumb craze and now everyone's obsessed with it. Grrrr.....
