Underrated/Unappreciated Movies

[Losfer Words]

Emir kusturica is a spectacular director who just didnt seem to hit in the US.
Arizona Dream
Black cat white cat
Time of gypsies

He has a surreal touch and sometimes his scenes keep growing unexpectedly ending in chaos. He can flip from lighthearted to world weight heavy on a dime. A gem of a gypsie artists imo.

Time of the Gypsies (will somebody please work on a 4k transfer & release a quality bluray of this fucking masterpiece already?!) & Underground are supa hot fire phenomenal. Kusturica is one if those rare contemporary filmmakers who have a very singular style & vision that can only be attributed to that specific filmmaker. nobody is going to watch a Kusturica film & mistake it for another’s or get a fix on a cornucopia of progenitors. dude is a 2x Palme d’Or winner & for some reason well beyond my grasp most of his best work can’t even get a proper bluray release.

So legit. It's like a period piece/detective story/action film with Matrix/Crouching Tiger type influence. What's not to like. Ultra badass movie with a cool plot.

Lumet made so many good ones. Legendary filmmaker. But this is easily one of my favorites. I think Serpico is largely touted as the better film and is certainly the better-known film, but I like the similarly themed Prince of the City substantially more. Really well-written, well-crafted, and with great performances. It is long but very compelling.

Shinjuku Incident

Tomb Raider (2018)

I never hear anyone talk about these movies

Moon starring Sam Rockwell

Good Time starring Robert Pattinson

Gonna have to Give Brotherhood of the wolf, Ghostbox Cowboy, Shinjiku Incident & Taboo a whirl.
All look intriguing.

Good call on Moon.
Forgot about that one was a good watch.
Rockwell was solid in conveying that role, one could relate.

So basically every action thriller of the past 40 years?

Great Movie

My go to movie for something like this is Kiss of the Dragon with Jet Li. Also watched "The Invitation" about 6 months ago and thought it was done very well. Not sure if it is underrated but I hadn't heard anything about it.

nice, come back here & lemme know what you thought about Ghostbox Cowboy whenever you get around to it (it’s free on Prime currently btw.) it gave me Werner Herzog vibes, Stroszek in particular (there are some nods to Herzog in the film so i wouldn’t be surprised if Stroszek actually had direct influence on Ghostbox Cowboy.) also has a tiny taste of Harmony Korine & Sorry to Bother You mixed in.

Kiss of the dragon is one of my favorite jet li movies, also the one was good
