OK, basic idea of this thread is if you end up watching an offbeat movie not in the limelight that you think others will enjoy. Post the name, a imdb link maybe and quick overview and why you think others will like it.
I will start: Movie: Kenny IMDB Links: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822389/ Brief Overview: Australian movie about a port-a-pottie technician/salesman. If you enjoy English humor, you will love this. If you dont understand the English the English speak and have no clue on some basic aussie/english/new zealand/south african slang, maybe skip it, but all in all, I think everyone would enjoy this. This movie had me ![]() |

Being There
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/ In the right mood a truly funny movie. Ironic, metaphoric, sweet and silly. Being There is a 1979 film directed by Hal Ashby, adapted from the 1971 novel written by Jerzy Kosiński. The film stars Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, Melvyn Douglas, Jack Warden, Richard A. Dysart and Richard Basehart. Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and Sellers was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. This was the last Peter Sellers film to be released while he was alive. The screenplay was coauthored by Kosinski and the award winning screenwriter Robert C. Jones, winning the 1981 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Film) Best Screenplay Award and the 1980 Writers Guild of America Award (Screen) for Best Comedy Adapted from Another Medium. It was also nominated for the 1980 Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_There

I have two:
Windy City Heat http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383053/ A slow show business want-a-be is given the lead role in a Bruce Willis type action movie. Very funny, but kind of sad, however the subject Perry, was well paid to be in this film. Idiocracy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/ Two words: President Camacho! |

Went to Crash in the theatre back in the day w/my girl at the time not knowing what to expect. Weird and wonderful. Prompted discussion for the next month. Truly a strange movie.

I'm intrigued George. I'm going to have to search for it on cable or actually drag myself to the video store to find a copy.

In Bruges
Great offbeat British Black Comedy with a fun cast ![]() "Holed up in Bruges, Belgium after a difficult job, two hit men begin to differ on their views of life and death as they become used to local customs" Ralph Fiennes is HILARIOUS in this flick |
