Movies are pretty much my passion these days. I literally spend hours upon hours watching films. So...yeah, I figured I'd make a thread about a couple gems I've stumbled across. I'll update this thread regularly, and I HIGHLY recommend any and everything posted here (obviously)
Sidenote - comments are encouraged and welcome, but this thread is specifically for films that are a bit under the radar..
Translation: If you come into this thread talking about how awesome Slumdog Millionaire and Avatar are, I will indeed slap the shit out of you
Mr. Nobody (2009)
Amazing film. Won't even attempt to describe its synopsis. Its like Big Fish meets Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Total mindfuck.
We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)
Based on a Novel of the same name. By far the most discomforting film I've ever seen. The pace is a bit slow at points, but it's worth the watch. It'll definitely leave you feeling a bit disturbed, though. It's not a horror film or anything, but yea...like I said, it's an uncomfortable watch.
Cashback (2006)
British film. Also Amazing. Only has a 7.3 on imdb (which is actually pretty high) but don't let that sour you. I'm like 100% certain the score was knocked down by conservative fucks who were offended by all the nudity. Speaking of which...there's a lot of nudity. I mean, a LOT. Full snatch shots and everything. With that said, its not lowbrow. It's pretty artsy, and the nudity is done tastefully.
The Proposition (2005)
Australian western (lol?) starring Guy Pierce. Often compared to 3:10 to Yuma, but far superior in every way imaginable. Enough said...
Following (1998)
Christopher Nolan's (TDK, Memento, Inception, etc.) first film. Pretty short (only 70 minutes) Still, pretty dope.
Sin Nombre (2009)
One of my favorite films EVER. If you liked City of God, you'll love this... If you haven't seen City of God, kill your fucking self.

I thought the pacing you mentioned where he always either ended up miserable or dead dragged down my viewing...until the ending, which was perfectly setup to swerve everyone, and Nobody getting the last laugh of sorts fit in, even with the tone that was set in. It was awesome. Too bad more didn't see it...
