Somehow I think you might be have a hard time finding that in the movie theaters..
I've been reading some movie recommendations from other places (like message boards) and have had some good luck finding some excellent films that I'd not heard about.
My life is a bit of a whirlwind most of the time and I simply don't have the time to keep "up" on what's new in the theaters, or especially on-demand sources like NETFLIX and HULU. It seems I'm years behind.
I've yet to see some major blockbusters like LOTR, Pulp Fiction, THe big Lebowski and most other films. My kids have made me watch the Hunger Games Movies....but that's about it for the last few years.
I'm also not usually "in" to what everyone else is in too....which is why I don't really make an attempt to see the stuff that seems popular.
That being said....I recently watch this one...and absolutely LOVED it. (Even though I think the Vampire theme for movies and tv shows is stupid)
It has subtitles.....but, the dialogue is slow, and easy to follow. There is an American overdubbed version - but the voice actors were terrible. (If you can get over that - you may like it).
I loved this film.
My wife thought it was "ok" - but we are never on the same page with films.
I trust most of you and welcome your suggestions. Even if it's an older film. What are some of the lesser known films you like?

I'm not usually in to Vampire movies, but I'd give it a watch. I know this is going to sound like I'm a horrible human being, but I always see Vampire movies as "chick flicks".
I know, I know, flame away....
I enjoyed 'The Wrestler' starring Mickey Rouark, I also liked a 70's movie called 'Stanley' about a Vietnam vet with a pet rattlesnake.
Yea I'm weird but I amuse myself.lol

I've seen it. Loved it as well. Probably my favorite vampire movie I've ever seen. I found it very disturbing in a creepy way, just because it was very realistic and not full of the stereotypical vamp stuff. The Eastern Europe setting and plot made it even creepier.
We have no cable TV, so we watch 4-5 movies per week via Netflix or Redbox. Been doing it for several years, so I've seen a TON of movies. Most are older and/or not-so-well known.

I highly recommend "Rubber", it's about a phsycomaniac tire, just trust me on this one. (FYI: probably not a movie for children)
Wear hearing protection.
Let The Right One In is a very good film. There is an American remake called Let Me In. Also try Snowpiercer, Nightbreed, and Django Unchained. I believe they are all streaming on Netflix.

Prometheus may be worth watching. Although its a 'prequel' it doesn't particularly follow the same format as the Alien franchise (after the second Alien movie they became rather similar and predicatable) and you don't have to have seen any of the other movies for it to make sense.
If you aren't familiar with the Aliens movie franchise they are Sci fi/Horror/Suspense. Not for younger children - rated 15 in UK. I'm not sure about how your certification system works.

Traitor-Don Cheadle
Most pictures, by the end, people have figured out who did it, why they did it, and how high a building Jason Statham is going to throw him off of.
I've yet to have anybody tell me that they saw the end of Traitor coming.

You can learn to sleep on your stomach with 1 eye open after watching "I Spit On Your Grave".
I agree with Rick- Traitor was great. "Basic" w/John Travolta is another one with a great twist. Also, "The Game" with Michael Douglas.

Taxi Driver starring a youthful Robert Deniro, if you haven't already seen it ... one of my all time favorites ...

Law Abiding Citizen. Nuff said.
Signature here
Road to Perdition is an excellent Tom Hanks movie that many people overlooked. It's a 1930's gangster movie with Tom Hanks.....how can you lose?
Legends of the Fall is still one of my top favorites. The Last Samauri and The Patriot rank up at the top as well. Most people have seen all those already. While I'm at it, there's only 2 Adam Sandler movies I've ever seen that I liked; Spanglish and Reign Over Me. I don't find him remotely funny, however the guy CAN act with the best of them in a serious role.

Anything with Anthony Hopkins in it is worth watching. Best actor in my opinion.
