Twin Peaks and Idiocracy are great too you mean lynch's twin peaks? i don't remember checking it on imdb, but i think it is well apreciated in there. wow, 9.4 for Twin Peaks, I remember the critics hated it though Twin Peaks http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105665/ 6.9 folks, hence why I posted it. That is twin peaks the movie, not the tv show. and we all know the consequences of making a movie out of a successful tv show. Yes, but this is a film thread. Twin peaks the series is void in here.

Caretstik Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is simply a fucking great film. The first sequence with Chris Isaac and Kyle McLachlan et al especially is crammed full of genius. The sequence in The Pink Room with the drowned out dialogue is mindblowing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzj2pO-ArLo&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disparaissant Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 fando y lis (6.9) gummo (5.9) jesus christ: vampire hunter (5.2) honestly those are the only ones i could readily find that weren't already mentioned in this thread, most of the movies i like are either really popular or obscure enough that only people who really like them would have even seen them, let alone care to rate them.

The production costs versus return figures can also be telling. Also the synopsis is handy if you only care what happened but can't be arsed watching the thing. still i like the point of your thread, which i assume is to pick up recommendations on things that have flown under the radar. -reads thread to find out- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patternoverlap Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 ^^ not a bad list at all. I could probably go on and on. I think the failure of rating systems is that there are certain qualities that some movies possess that are hard to quantify. Some of that might be nostalgia but some of it is something else that isn't easily defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
