Maybe a bit grim for a lot of folk? Great film though, and Aragorn's acting is top notch.
Underrated/cult movies?

Yeah Duel is right up there as a cult classic! I'vd even got the steel-box special edition DVD .... very appropriate.Another one! I loved this film as a kid, always remember when Dennis Weaver speeds up to 60mph and is breaking out in a cold sweat.
Some great extras as well.
Oh **** that reminds me actually.
These Final Hours (2013)
Anyone seen this?

There is no Spoon.
Sausages: The Making of Dog Soldiers came out recently, absolutely brilliant read for fans of the film.
How's about one cult film based heavily on a previous even more cult film. I'm always fascinated by obscure discoveries like this. Maybe it's common knowledge but going by the comments on the vid it seems like this has been hiding in plain sight. It is no way diminishes The Fifth Element of course, but sure is one of those "huh? oh yeah!" moments.
Yup, really like it and watched it a few times since stumbling across it shortly after release - great movie.
Warriors, Duel and Westworld are good shouts.
I'll go with:
I'll go with:
- LA Takedown. I saw this before Heat, which is kind of a remake. It lacks the A-list actor chemistry and big budget scenes but the plot and action is good
- Black Rain. I really like this for some reason, always used to watch it when he was on tv. It's kind of dripping with yakuza cool.
I like the fact one of the main characters/actors gets killed fairly early, in a great scene
- The Negotiator. Not really sure if this counts as underrated/cult, I saw a preview screening of it at uni by accident (for some reason we thought it was going to be Starship Troopers) and was very surprised by how good it was.
- Heathers. I guess this is the one that is closest to the definition of "cult", it's got that kind of late 80s weirdness vibe, a bit of dark humour etc.

It's just old enough that most of the younger generation won't have seen or heard of it, and it wasn't massively popular when it first came out, even though it was a great film (imo).
The cast at the time was fairly unknown but you should recognise them all now.

Shopping - one of two Paul W.S. Anderson movies i'll give my time to, the other being Event Horizon.
I'm sure it has probably aged dreadfully but i'd watch it most weekends down at my dads as a kid and it had a fantastic soundtrack for a 15 year old discovering new music at the time.
Will forever remind me of...

All really good films and certainly worth a watch.
The ending of Eden Lake makes me angry to this day - really gets under your skin, great movie.
Martyrs is one of my all time favourite horror movies, bleak and relentless and a gut punch ending, much like Eden Lake.
The Hit. Tim Roth, John Hurt, Terence Stamp and a soundtrack featuring Eric Clapton, Roger Waters and Flamenco guitar legend, Paco De Lucia.

By the same director, Enemy is something I stumbled across in recent years and would absolutely consider it an underrated gem.
