I was just wondering if any of you have seen any good movies recently that arent major box office hits. Now and then I find a good movie that sort of "slipped through the cracks". It doesn't make millions, but is still a decent, intelligent, and sometimes cute movie. Do any come to mind? It can be from any year, even an oldie or black and white film.An oldie I was introduced to was Cary Grant's "Arsenic and Old Lace". That was a hilarious adaption of the play.goat_... thanks for calling me "ridiculously ignorant". That was so nice of you. But thanks for the movies anyway....and yes, British films are definitely fine.There were so many good answers, I'm going to put this one to vote.

A good movie is "Southern Belles". It is an indie movie with Ana Faris. I have seen it a couple times and laughed my ass off all the way through.I had to edit to add two more. If you want to watch some old black and white movies that are great, getMy Man Godfrey andThe Major and the Minor

The recent Stardust is good as well as Fracture, The Air l Breathe, Under the Tuscan Sun and Unfaithful.l would add Syriana and Lord of War.Happy viewing.

Stardust was a good movie, didn't even hear about it, until my boyfriend brought it home one night for us to watch. I liked Ed Wood (1995) that wasn't popular at all but it was a good movie. Equilibrium (2002) was also a good movie again never heard of it until my boyfriend showed it to me.

I can't think of one film that was released as a huge blockbuster film, in America, that is even of decent quality let alone moderate to good quality. Most of those films are made for the sole purpose of making money, and that really shows when you actually watch a great, or even good, film. You're question is ridiculously ignorant. But if you want I can give a whole list of great American films.(Welles)Citizen KaneThe TrialChimes At Midnight(Kubrick)2001: A Space OdysseyBarry LyndonLolitaDr. Strangelove(Scorsese)Mean StreetsKing of ComedyRaging BullThe Last Temptation of ChristTaxi DriverGoodfellasAfter HoursThe Color of MoneyCasinoThe Age of InnocenceThe Departed(Tarantino)Never made a good film(Allen) as director, not necessarily actor, or writerBananaAnnie HallManhattanLove and DeathCrimes and MisdemeanorsHannah and Her SistersRadio DaysThe Purple Rose of CairoEverything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask)Broadway Danny RoseInteriorsThat's a rather short list, I could include the films of John Ford, or Ernst Lubitsch, Cecil B. DeMille, David Lean(if you want to include british films along with American), Charlie Chaplin, etc..., but that would take up a decidely large space. Please don't ask a question like this again.

One of my favorites is a movie called "Spaceman." It's a comedy. It's about a boy abducted by aliens as a child and trained as a ceremonial fighter, then later crashes on earth and has a difficult time addjusting to earth life.It's an independent film made for $50,000, but it's one of my favorite movies. You can go here to see a video clip. The movie is really better than the clip. http://www.eztakes.com/store/movie/Spaceman-Movie-Download.jsp

I despise blockbusters lolone of my favourites that i'm trying to hunt down is "Fun" from the early ninties. No big names to help the hunt though lolI love all Michael Moores documentaries- although they're very popular

The Orphanage. It's creepy. It's also Spanish w/ subtitles. Sadly, stores are having to put up signs warning people that it isn't available dubbed in English b/c so many people are illiterate and impatient and returned it when they realized they had to read. But it's really, really good. I saw it in a neighboring town when it was having it's one week run there. Totally worth it.
