Speaking of foreign films:
Spring Summer Fall Winter Spring
Is a movie about a Buddhist Monk and his protege living on a floating monastery on a lake. Beautiful movie with little dialogue and amazing cinematography, nice themes too.

Lock Stock and rat race are both great comedies.
Bottlerocket was a movie my buds and I watched all the time.

Not sure if it falls into this category. But I have always loved Zulu. It introduced a young actor named Michael Caine.

A few in no particular order: The Last Seduction, Romeo is Bleeding, Swimming with Sharks, Living in Oblivion, Used Cars, 52 Pick Up, Touch of Evil, The Blue Dahlia, Murder My Sweet, Le Cercle Rouge, Diabolique, and Murder by Death. A short list...

Cube - Canadian sci-fi film about people trapped in a cube
Breaker Morant - Australian movie about 3 soldiers being court martial(ed) in South Africa during the Second Boer War.
The following weren't exactly under the radar, but were made a while back and probably missed by many:
Papillion - Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman as prisoners in French prison in French Guiana and their attempts to escape - true story
The Mission - Jeremy Irons and Robert DeNiro (among others) as Jesuit missionaries in South America in the 1750's - may be too slow at times and explore too many theological/philosophical/political themes for some

Breaker Morant - Australian movie about 3 soldiers being court martial(ed) in South Africa during the Second Boer War.
Breaker Morant was an Awesome movie. One of my favorites. An examination of right, wrong, and the morality of occupiers and the insurgent indigenous people. Highly recommend.
Also check out Rabbit Proof Fence. The Australian government forcibly took aboriginal girls from their families to train them as domestics for "civilized" society. The movie follows one of them as she walks (hundreds? thousands?) of miles back to her home living off the land and eventually following the fence the government erected across the continent to isolate the destructive effects of an exploding exotic rabbit population. True story and gripping.

But I'm just not a JL fan, she just seems so blah to me.
She even did the same on SNL, which is a time to really
let loose and have fun.

Big fan of Bottle Rocket.
Okay. There, you see the star is me, right there, and I'll be in there. The X is Anthony. Bob, you're the zero out here in the car.

One of my foavorites growing up was Streets of Fire. Good cast (Diane Lane, Willam Dafoe, Michael Pare and others) and absolutely fantastic (80's mind you) soundtrack. Music done by Ry Cooder. Plus there is a cool fight scene in the send.
Love and a 45 was an little known film I loved when I was in college. Killing Zoe is another one of those movies around the same time that was damn good. There are some others from back in the day that were really good but I am drawing a blank on em now. Probably one movie I have seen in the last few years that I had never heard of but was really good was Shade. It was a card/gambling grifter movie with Stallone in it. I thought it was really good.

Highlander- mid 1980s movie about an immortal Scotsman who changes names about every 60 years. He chooses names from babies who have recently passed away. Great soundtrack by Queen as well.

Sounds ripe for a sequel.
