    +1 for The Fall. Although if 3/5 of us have suggested it, maybe it's not that unheard of…
    Seriously though, watch it.

    Brick – teen crime movie set in modern california but the dialect is 30's gangster
    Down By Law – prison movie staring Tom Waits and the guy from beautiful life – totally love it.

    Clerks. There used to be a time when nobody had heard of it. Then Kevin Smith hit the big time and I imagine most are aware of it now.

    I quite liked Titanic…not sure if many others saw it. The juxtaposition of the cheeky poor Irish scoundrels below decks with the posh folk on the uppers was extraordinary. Watch it.

    Tribal, it's a job to come across it. You kinda have to "know" someone who has it. It's like very secret squirrel though. I'll make some enquiries for you 😉

    The Taking of Pelham 123 (original – no idea what the new one's like).

    Stealing Beauty – bit of Liv Tyler in her youth…. Lovely stuff.

    Eraserhead is well known amongst my generation, but the younguns may not have seen it.

    Boondocks Saints, best watched with the documentary Overnight, which is the story of how the film got made and about the writer, a former New Orleans barman (and what a knob he is), Willeam DaFoe is excellant in it as is Billy Connelly

    City Lights by Charlie Chaplin

    He wrote the screenplay, music, directed, edited, cast and stared in it. A fantastic film and still worth seeing.

    Run Lola Run. Fantastic soundtrack and visuals. Clever storyline, but not showy. Oh, and Franka Potente.

    I watch a lot of independent film…or at least lesser known movies. My all time favourite is PI, superb film about a mathematician that tries to solve pi whilst trying to work out patterns in the stiock market…sounds very dull but its amazing, the cinematography is lush (and in black and white) and the soundtrack is equally as good (featuring the likes of Autehcre, Orbital, Aphex Twin etc…). The same guy who made PI also directed Requiem for a Dream, which is a very, very harsh film to watch, but very good as well. Lost Highway by David Lynch is another firm fave as well as any Troma movies (Cannibal the Musical, The Toxic Avenger, Poultrygesit etc) just for over the top gore and laughs with political satire thrown in for good measure (some of the time)…

    OK. How about Argent Content like the best bits of the french connection compressed into a 10 minute film and all on rollerskates. Lovely punchline.

    Just a few that spring to mind…

    Les Visiteurs [Jean Reno. Comedy. Time travelling medieval knight in contemporary France]

    Aguirre, The wrath of God. [Werner Herzog dir, Klaus Kinski. Intense study of a Spanish Conquistador's descent into mad-eyed insanity.]

    Anything by Jacques Tati. Sublime and hillarious.

    Casablanca. Really does need to be seen on the big screen. Amazing.

    el Gato Negro, I thought Belleville Rendezvous was fantastic.
