What is the best movie no-one has ever head of?

I'm really enjoying all these cat movies.

I recommend a studio ghibli movie The Cat Returns.



Also, someone mentioned Sneakers! That's totally one of my favorite movies. I'm glad someone else enjoys it too.

This is one of the few Studio Ghibli films I've never seen. I could use a dose of that right now. Funny that Whisper of the Heart ("Mimi wo sumaseba" — "If You Listen Closely" is, I believe, the literal translation) is probably one of their least famous productions.

the killers [1964]
this was ronald reagan's last movie before becoming political. he played a bad guy who gets his in the end. possibly lee marvin's best flick.

I love a Gus Van Sant movie called Gerry which no one seems to have heard of, despite it starring Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.

I love it because almost nothing happens in it. Until right at the end, and then it isn't 100% that anything happened at all. But it's awesome.

Yes, I love how they made a story about the cat in the antique shop from whisper of the heart. Both are on HBOmax right now. I have a box set of many of them but I'm glad the ghibli movies are more accessible now for everyone.

I'd love to hear what you think after you watch it!

the 2001 live action version of the 1970 cartoon "josie and the pussycats." surprisingly good.

Lifeboat (a lesser-known film directed by Alfred Hitchcock from a script by John Steinbeck)

Mary & Max was a very good claymation movie about an autistic man living in New York City who befriended a neurotypical girl from Australia.

One of my all time favorite movies.

Putney Swope. Way ahead of its time.

so wrong they're right, about 8-track collecting nerds.

Noserfatu is another good one. A classic German silent horror movie. It's an obvious ripoff of Dracula but it did many things better than Bram Stoker's novel or the official Hollywood adaption.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars

A classic sci-fi B movie released in 1964 and part of the Criterion Collection as of 2006.

you're talking F.W.Murnau, right? - yes, German expressionist films are great - so great Tim Burton built a career on ripping them off.

there's a remake of Nosferatu by Werner Herzog. it's pretty good.
what I like about it is that it's a historical film, the costumes and sets are there (shot in Delft, in the Netherlands) but they didn't do much in the sense of creating an eerie, surreal atmosphere. Daylight is just natural light, the caskets are just plain, freshly cut wood - no dust and cobwebs on them - just as you'd expect it in a surprise wave of mysterious deaths sweeping through the city.
It gives the film a strange realism, that contrasts well with Kinski's Vampire.

I never realized Tim Burton ripped them off? I used to love many of his movies when I was younger like Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd, but... I dunno. Hollowood (pun intended) has lost much of its appeal to me lately.

I never watched the Nosferatu: The Vampyre but I have seen the trailers for it and it looked really good. I think they have it on Tubi TV so maybe I'll check it out someday?


There's so many horror movies I never watched before that I want to finish. The Beyond (finished half of it), Suspiria, etc. I'm sure there's others too.
