    Damn! Beat me to it. Fantastic and little-known film, superb editing, and very funny. Anyone remember the series of TV adverts with Gryff Rhys Jones in, using similar edited in bits of classic movies?

    IF

    filmed at my alma mater.

    Without giving too much away, the closing scenes were welcomed most enthusiastically when “If” was the film of choice for end of year English class.

    just watched Book of Life with my kids
    Absolutely fantastic and I generally hate animated films

    Edge of tomorrow was an unexpected hit for me especially as it had Tom Cruise in it. More Collateral than MI

    I’ve just watched this on Sky Movies so it must be out soon on iTunes/DVD..

    I know it’s got Nic Cage in it, but it’s a very good film IMO, huge twist at the end too..

    Just watched the end sequence on you tube, “If” film, the granny with the machine gun and the nurse throwing hand grenades,and as for the headmaster, thankfully its all fiction.

    a true classic.

    Screw it, I’m recommending The Guard in this thread as well.

    Comedy and action as per the brief.

    War Dogs. *Top entertainment*
    Premium Rush *bike related content but silly fun*
    Don’t Breath
    Hush
    Blue Ruin
    Hell or High Water *best script*
    Deepwater Horizon – *true life disaster movie that’s breath taking.*
    The Devil’s Double
    Unthinkable
    The Invitation
    Under The Shadow

    Get more tricky/rewarding as the list moves down. Not necessarily hidden but all under hyped.

    A Most Violent Year
    Does Tom Hardy gruffly mumble his way through?
    He’s not in the cast as far as I remember, the male lead’s Oscar Isaac. Jessica Chastain is excellent too.

    All true! I misremembered. Oscar Isaac stole it. Tom Hardy played the role I was thinking of in ‘The Drop’. Again, gangland thriller, very low key and broody. Great little film.

    Doesn’t meet either of your criteria for action or comedy, but definitely flew under the radar (for me at least). Firstly The Big Short – on Netflix and got Steve Carroll, Ryan gosling, brad pit and Christian bale in it (how it flew under the radar I’ll never know – might just be me), a true story of the few economics and rouge traders who predicted the economic crash in 2008 – not normally a bale fan but he”s very good in it. Secondly – Tracks, film based on the true story of a young girl traveling across the Australian desert with 4 camels and a dog on the 70’s. Not a great deal happens and it’s s bit of a coming of age / against all adversity biopic, but it’s brilliant and well worth checking out

    Serenity on Netflix, yes it’s the expanded TV episode thing but funny and action all the way.

    Yes, I was in Blue Juice for a fraction of a second in the party on the beach scene.

    Filmed with none of the actors there.

    After twenty six years I’ve finally found someone who’s had more to drink than me
    Chapeau.

    I liked The Voices with Ryan Reynolds.
    Not the greatest film but I’d never heard of it before I watched it t’other week.

    I don’t think The Big Short flew under the radar:

    “The film was a financial and critical success, grossing $133 million against a $28 million budget, and receiving positive reviews. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Bale, and Best Adapted Screenplay, winning the last”

    Good film.

    Why would anyone bother to read the OP? Just blurt out the name of a film.
