Good but lesser known movies...
2004-03-13, 4:00 AM #1
Ever since that 10 best gunfights thread i had no idea about "equilibrium". It is a damn good movie taking ideas from farenhight 451 and 1984, with a matrix twist. I was wondering if you guys know of good movies that noone talks about.

It's a comedy with a serious ending, by Charlie, back in 1940 I think it was made. Really funny, he plays Hynkel the Dictator, and The Jewish Barber.
Quote:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Since Adolf Hitler had the audacity to borrow his mustache from the most famous celebrity in the world--Charlie Chaplin--it meant Hitler was fair game for Chaplin's comedy. (Strangely, the two men were born within four days of each other.) The Great Dictator, conceived in the late thirties but not released until 1940, when Hitler's war was raging across Europe, is the film that skewered the tyrant. Chaplin plays both Adenoid Hynkel, the power-mad ruler of Tomania, and a humble Jewish barber suffering under the dictator's rule. Paulette Goddard, Chaplin's wife at the time, plays the barber's beloved; and the rotund comedian Jack Oakie turns in a weirdly accurate burlesque of Mussolini, as a bellowing fellow dictator named Benzino Napaloni, Dictator of Bacteria. Chaplin himself hits one of his highest moments in the amazing sequence where he performs a dance of love with a large inflated globe of the world. Never has the hunger for world domination been more rhapsodically expressed. The slapstick is swift and sharp, but it was not enough for Chaplin. He ends the film with the barber's six-minute speech calling for peace and prophesying a hopeful future for troubled mankind. Some critics have always felt the monologue was out of place, but the lyricism and sheer humanity of it are still stirring. This was the last appearance of Chaplin's Little Tramp character, and not coincidentally it was his first all-talking picture. </font>

One that's good but only if you're into really deap psychological stuff is 'ExistenZ'. it didn't get very good reviews (actually it got horrible ones, but whatever), but its a good movie if you spend the time to watch it a few times and understand what's happening.

Anouther one that i don't think is all that unpopular, but i've really never heard much about it past an add in a movie store is 'The Cowboy Bebop Movie- Knocking on Heaven's door'. its a really good movie, especially if you already like Cowboy Bebop.

And 'Gods and Generals' is good, if you don't mind the long speeches and discusions of military strategy (I was supprised my newspaper took points off because they discussed strategy. I mean, its a war. what else do you expect?).
