We all have them, films that we love that when we mention them, on the most part, people haven’t seen them. For me, I think Requiem for a dream fits the bill, very dark( so dark I had to watch the waterboy after it to cheer myself up) but amazing performances from top to bottom. Let’s hear yours.

True Romance. A brilliant film but not a lot of people have seen it.

Equilibrium, with Christian Bale and Sean Bean. The critics panned it, but I know of a number of friends who liked it.

Just thought of another, it’s an oldie called Hell Drivers, about the conditions that lorry drivers were forced to work back in the day. One of the few serious films sid James was ever in.

Watched this one again recently. Definitely a misunderstood movie at the time, and retrospectively a great film.

I think first blood. Most people think of stallone as an action hero but his performance at the end when he is having a breakdown makes you feel for the character

Maudie- its utterly depressing but exquisitely brilliant

The Dish- Aussie comedy with Sam Neil

The Straight Story- A man on a tractor...sounds dull, bloody excellent (true story too)

A Single Man- Colin Firth is always a solid actor, but everything about this film is done to perfection with supreme love and detail.

Forbidden Planet- Leslie Neilson doing serious acting, the visual effects were probably more advanced for their time than Star Wars was when it came out

Das Boot (the long, long version)- never watched a film quite this intense, don't think i stopped it for a pee, drink or snack etc for the full 4 1/2ish hours, fucking immense!

Agree with True Romance, Sunshine, and the JG Ballard Crash. I'd add Quantum of Solace - by no means great, but nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be.

Definitely one of his lesser known films. Reminds me of the substitute.

Dracula 2000 - love the explanation for how Dracula came into being

Near dark - overshadowed as it came out the same time as lost boys.

Dogma - Avoid if you are religious as it could come across as offensive.

Rock n rolla - often disregarded when put next to lock stock and snatch, I also enjoyed Guy Ritches King Arthur.
