Forgotten movies that deserve to be seen

Some of these are familiar but I cant quite remember seeing them. Maybe I was just casually watching them while socialising. I will check em out.

I'VE TRIED REMEMBERING THIS MOVIE FOR YEARS!

It was on during the holidays or some other family get together at my grandparent's, I was maybe 6 or 7, and I remember being freaky as hell but it seemed funny (likely cuz John Candy was in it) and eventually they changed the channel to something else...or it ended. But man, it really stuck with me, Aykroyd's character in particular and all the surreal scenes. "Bad dream" is a perfect description. I've looked for it with vague search terms every once in awhile and never figured it out. So many other movies/tv show episodes from my childhood solved, and now I can add this one.

Holy fuck dude, this is why I love WATMM.

Now this is a forgotten movie. It is awesome too.

It's hard to capture it's awesomeness in a trailer but it must be said:

might be my favorite western

 

I need to see this.

 

Watched this last Thursday since it's on netflix instant watch. I really liked it. Something about it seemed very modern. It didn't feel too 70s, like some other films from the era.

this movie is pure style, just like all of Leone's westerns. love the scene at the end with the machine gun.

I would recommend A Fistful of Dollars as another underrated Leone western, I think it's as good if not better than GBandU and Once Upon A Time

At first I thought he was disguised as a Jew.

I like this one.

Indeed it is VERY sparse but to anyone that likes that kind of thing (slow, sparse, atmospheric, abstract) then I highly recommend Angel's Egg.

It sounds cool, I might check it out. I was relieved to see it only runs 70 minutes though

I literally just got done watching this lol

Surprisingly , I still like it .

amazing film with an all-star class that was eclipsed by Driving Miss Daisy the same year. the best war movie imo, and probably most accurate. i've never heard anyone mention it.. see it if you haven't.

But Matthew Broderick is a little prick?

cast, that would be, but yea.. Broderick's an unlikely choice but he plays it well.
