Great movies that slipped off your radar

The teaser line said nobody is bold enough to make such a movie other than Werner Herzog. Amen to that!

There is no farewell with this movie after watching it for the first, second and third time. If you get what I mean.

Finally there was a time travel movie that practically make sense, clever and intriguing. And it didn't come from Hollywood, no it didn't!

A beautiful and mind twisting movie with so many memorable scenes, partly due to the beautiful score. But too bad if less and less people are talking about Mr. Nobody it would literally live up to its own title.

Do not let yourself be falsely misguided by the poster and the synopsis for a cheap blood-fest gory type of movie. You will find that it was indeed a clever suspense thriller which will leave you shocked and in demand of more explanations in the end. One view simply ain't enough.

A haunting tale of two detectives on their campaign of solving a serial killing case with an unusual ending. No cheap twist as well but it sure was one of the unforgettable powerful ending.

Often mistaken for standard horror movie which raised a lot of disappointment among the conventional horror movie fans, but George Sluizer actually took horror movie to a new level with a completely different approach. Horror has a new face!

A shocking and mysterious event happened during a school picnic which left everybody in the state of confusion. Things left unexplained but ugh how mesmerizing the cinematography and score was.

the father of all post-apocalyptic movies. Sure it looks outdated and cheaply produced but you'll find the basic idea was indeed the foundation for many modern post-apocalyptic movies. It is but a very disturbing and depressing portrayal of post-apocalypse world mind you.

No theme is taboo enough for a movie. Okay so it was year 1962 back then and it was Kubrick that brought the controversy up as always. But really that is not enough reason to miss this wonderful piece of cinema.

Oliver Stone once made a decent but forgotten black comedy with line of fancy casts called U-turn. In case you did miss it, it's always better late than never.

This movie is one of very few movies that force me to disagree with the majority of IMDB users' vote. I didn't even watch the 1947 version but I highly regard this one. I think it's the ambience that strike me the most.

The darkest of a black comedy could be. Even with Shion Sono one would not imagine that he would take the level of violence and grim this far. This movie could easily fell into a cheap B grade gory-fest movie but thanks to Sono it's not.

Great film with great controversy as well. You need to watch for yourself to fully dig the message.

You don't want to play the game but you will definitely like to see the movie. Cronenberg's forgotten best work.

A beautiful and heartwarming drama about a dutiful father from an underground society that unfortunately even the fans base of the main casts seem to pay little to no attention to. Such a pity.

The only documentary that fits in. I'm sure that most have hardly heard of this documentary but once you set eyes on it you will see the beauty, in a nostalgic way. A very rare experience.

Long before The Hunger Games, there was Battle Royale.

For once you will see a different kind of Woody Allen's movie which make you believe that he actually has what it takes to be a suspense/thriller director as well.

A trendsetter of a vast number of similar movie theme about triad society and tragic romance in early 90's of Hong Kong Cinema. Every youth at the time practically lived and grew up on this movie. Too bad this piece of classic is simply fading and forgotten.

A very provoking movie that you will hardly forget for quite some time. Joseph Gordon-Levitt gave the all out unforgettable performance in this movie. He has since long ago showed that he was not just face but skill.

I wouldn't be surprised to find this movie one day spawned into Hollywood remake but it must first get its deserved attention. It comes with an original idea which were executed well to top many of the regular and predictable nowadays thriller.

Haneke depicts the dark side of human being in a subtle but solid way set in a small Germany village pre-WWI. Do not ever underestimate what children as an innocent object could possible be capable of.

The scattered reminiscence from one of the greatest rivalry in the ancient history of China, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. The main casts are all very well recognized actors from three different countries (Hong kong, Mainland China and Taiwan) but surprisingly even with a compelling story it never gets the deserved attention and rating.

A movie for those who always has something to question about the integrity of television performer and reality show contestant. Arguably Redford's best directorial picture up to date.

Adolescent age is full of twist and rebellion, but never this disturbing like the tale Peter Jackson brought us.

Before the Wachowski Brothers came with their Trilogy Matrix hits, there was their directorial debut without fancy fight scene or cool outfit but instead an intriguing thriller.

Resistance never feels so sexy. Verhoeven is the best when it come to this thing without making it looks cheap. Two and half hours that never feels boring at all.

A psychological horror very worthy to watch, type of movie which haunt your mind for some time after viewing. The director Yun Jong chan's best and one hit wonder to this day.

An iconic movie of youth vampires in the 80's that wouldn't ever level the same audience enthusiasm as in the modern 'Twilight' youth vampires. Lack of romance, maybe?

A beautiful tale of two friends in their adolescent age and all the complexity, come with such magical scores that make it so bright and enjoyable even to the most non-sensitive grown up audience.
