The best you've never seen...

Compelling and complex proof that Gosling is more than a pretty face. This 2001 film is a deep and dark look into a subject that has become monotone in cinema. A refreshing narrative.

Mads Mikkelson has been dishing out great performances for years. His recent success in the TV market with 'Hannibal' is just one reason to visit a few titles on his filmography. Adam's Apples is a dark, funny, and touching tale that brings something old and new to the table.

A fun, bright, and bouncy (if a movie can be bouncy) take on a 50's rom-com via speed typing competitions. This French film may do nothing revolutionary for the genre but it has perfect pitch, tone, and pace. Sure to make you smile.

Attention all Danny Boyle fanboys, you should add this to your film library. An international all star cast headlines this interstellar action/thriller. This is a visual delight one wishes could return to the big screen just to see it large scale. Tense, existential, and satisfying film making and John Murphy's soundtrack has been sampled from this for dozens of other features since.

Directed by Chan-Wook Park (Old Boy) this film feels like sitting in a hand crafted wood chair with one of the back legs ever so slightly filed down. There is a wonderful and effective sense of unease that leaves you waiting for the other shoe to drop. Visuals and metaphors abound. It's purposeful and sharp and reminds me of the days when thrillers were meticulously planned instead of money hungry box office bores.

An acquired taste worth trying. This film is a bizarre favorite I find myself re-watching now and again. It's a dark thriller Indie film with a lot to offer and great performances.

This is a silent black and white fantasy drama that is plucky and innocent much like the title character. The film itself is beautiful and the retelling of the classic Snow White story in 1920's bull fighting Seville is fresh and fun. Maribel Verdu is in top form as the evil step mother, and Inma Cuesta is a beautiful, big eyed, and boisterous "Snow".

All and all there is a heavy handed message being driven home by this Norwegian film but its done well enough that I just don't care. Trond Fausa (Lilyhammer) is great as the down on his luck black sheep of a seemingly idyllic metropolis. The humor is dark, the plot is strange, you may be left scratching your head, but it's a great kind of cinematic palate cleanser if you ask me.

Based on the novel "Vile Bodies" this is the kind of film that makes me want to see more writing and directing from Brit great Stephen Fry. 1930's London in all of its drunken and debauched absurdity is brought to life by a young writer and his gang of so called friends. The cast is packed with familiar faces and, though flawed, is a fun and romantic little known period piece of British film making.

A little known Scorsese flick worth watching. Bizarre, fantastical, and hey Nic Cage!

From Nicolas Winding Refn, the man who brought you Gosling in 'Drive', comes Bronson. A highly underrated Hardy performance and piece of film making. Audiences who are a fan of Refn and aren't shy around a fist fight will enjoy the 'cant make this *beep* up' quality that Bronson excels at. Stylish, witty, and mad.

If you only see one Rian Johnson movie in your life...this may not be the one, however if you are a fan of his, or you are looking for a feel good, heist/ con movie, that leaves you wanting to hug your nearest sibling this is the one!

Call me a moron, but this is so bad it's good! Catchy and absurd a must watch for any South Park/ Book of Mormon fan.

Many people have heard of this film starring JLo and Vince Vaughn...but have you actually watched it?...A surprise most people resist. The Cell offers something new and transitioned the 90's into the production value game changers of the 00's. Certainly a visual treat if nothing else.

If you refuse to watch director Tarsem's "The Cell" do yourself a favor and watch The Fall. Sure to make you smile and likely cry this lush piece of cinematic candy was concocted in several different countries using real landscapes so gorgeous that they felt like fantasy. Reality and fantasy blur for a young girl and her performance was sinfully overlooked during the films release. The Fall has developed a rather sizable cult following since its release on dvd. You won't regret it.

The film may be from 1961 but it has never been more relevant. A young girl at a boarding school accuses two teachers of being lesbians. Performances, notably MacLaine, are wonderful. Most people aren't interested in "old" movies but this one has staying power.

As a movie paired with 'The Collection' released in 2012 I like this movie a lot. It's a horror movie that a lightweight in the genre like myself can handle and has an unlikely protagonist. The killer/ collector is genuinely frightening for his ruthless and resourceful manner of killing... There is a lot to wade through in the horror dept. now a days but give this series a shot.

The collection in my opinion surpasses its predecessor 'The Collector'. Not only does the film bring back characters from the original it has a wonderfully rare strong likable female lead that isn't a busty bleach blond who is half naked. We see the killer/ the collector for the first time in his own environment and he himself takes on a sort of preternatural power in this film making him all the more interesting.

In an attempt to combat global warming a chemical is released into the atmosphere which turns the Earth into a lethally frigid wasteland. The only sanctuary is aboard a massive train which circumnavigates the world. The catch is, not everyone has a first class seat. Snowpiercer tackles social commentary and environmental disaster in a successfully uniform manner with comic and dramatic elements that occur naturally. The pace is perfect and the final act has revelations, performances, and action that make this little known locomotive something worth seeking out.
