    I can watch True Stories, a David Byrne movie, anytime. It's so very odd and yet, it's so satisfying.

    They're pretty well known but I really like Paper Moon & Meet me in St. Louis.

    A lot more, but I'm feeling blank right now.

    Are you a fan of the "Vengeance" series, too? (Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance)

    My favorite movies are the ones we make at home.

    Gone with the Wind is so well known it’s got its own museum. It’s also so famous that you can tour the apartment that Margaret Mitchell lived in when she wrote it. It’s a pretty well known movie.

    This was the first thing that popped into my mind. I mean if that is not a well known movie it feels like no movies are. Neverending Story and Grave of the Fireflies also feel pretty well known, but ye they are great movies!

    Hundhotellet
    Triangle
    The Idealist
    Let the Right One In(låt den rätte komma in) The book is better but the movie is good too.

    great idea for a thread...

    I have many; here's a few:

    Robert Deniro & Jerry Lewis (it's a very dark comedy)

    Gary Olman killing it (with Sean Penn, Robin Wright, Ed Harris, John Reilly etc.

    Primer. The best time travel movie you’ve (probably) never seen. What makes it even more interesting is finding out the backstory of how this movie was made. Fascinating!

    American Outlaws or Over Her Dead Body. Neither are ground breaking flicks but they are fun to watch.

    And I have to agree with some of the previous posters, I would be suprised if I knew anyone who hadnt heard of Gone With The Wind
