Since this forum gives us the possibility to post videos, I thought that we could make an archive with some obscure/underseen movies that can be found on various video sites throughout the internet and post them here. This thread can offer film recommendations for all the movie fans that use these forums and also provide easy access to the films. So anyone who has a recommendation can post the movie in this thread, with a line or two explaining why the movie is worth watching. I'll start by posting two films: The Goat Horn by Metodi Andonov is a very interesting revenge/drama film from Bulgaria. The film features very little dialogue and the storytelling is mostly achieved through visual means. I consider it a must-see for any film fan. City Of Pirates by Raul Ruiz is a unique visual experience and a film that captures dream logic in the most effective way.

Will post more later. There's a couple of feature length films from the first half of the 1910s that I don't see get talked about/have less than 1,000 and even 500 votes on IMDb.

This one is pure joy! Very hidden and unknown movie from 1993 with nice performances. Its rare cast for TV film only. Why? Jeff Goldblum, Forest Whitaker, Don Cheadle, Kathy Baker... Something underrated from movies industry which was in shadow of The Player in 1992. De Niro´s smaller role is priceless.

It lasts almost four hours, but it's worth it.

My favorite film of 1967, Marat/Sade. I know that it was available on DVD at one point, but it is out of print and excessively expensive now. It's a stagebound movie (based on a popular, award-winning play), and director Peter Brook sees that as an asset, nursing the enclosed space for all it is worth. As an added bonus, there are subtitles in several languages here, including English. So if you're having a little trouble with the accents, you can switch them on. Just watched this. Great film indeed with superb writing and acting. It's actually one of the best films I've seen from 1967.

Hello, dude! Wonderful idea for a thread! I'm particularly enthusiastic about your first selection. A very powerful and memorable masterpiece from Metodi Andonov. A few recent viewings that I would heartily recommend (hope the video links work!): '...no lies' is a piece of cinéma vérité that proves deeply compelling as a man turns his camera on a female friend as she prepares to go out for the evening. A shocking admission comes out in due course... www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000004167019/another-kind-of-girl.htmlKhaldiya Jibawi made 'Another Kind of Girl' as a 17-year-old in a Jordanian refugee camp. The product of a media workshop with Syrian girls displaced by conflict, it possesses both insight and a beautifully poetic touch. And, finally one from Lotte Reiniger. I think 'Galathea: Das lebende Marmorbild' might be one of her finest creations. Very funny and lovely and pretty daring too! Nice thread! I certainly second the Peleshian film. That might be my favourite from him and it's one to cherish. Cheers! That's all, folks!

I was just about to give you the [cheers] face, but it doesn't look like we have it. So have this: This is actually the best history lesson on the French Revolution I ever received. And Glenda Jackson should have an Oscar for her portrayal of Corday.

Abel Ferrara's The Addiction. One of my favorite movies. That was... hmm. It was fine. The philosophy was accessible, but the emotional through-line of the movie was nonexistent. I was pretty much raised on this philosophy, too, so that may influence how easily I took to it.

I decided to go with something else on this thread ( Mistress), and now I'm wishing that I didn't.
