I don’t know why I saw it, I don’t know why it was made, to this day Neil Diamond makes me flinch.
I’ve seen it. I did finish it, but the best thing about it was the title.
Fido
Hilariously kitschy
Final Fantasy Advent Children Love the animation.
I’ve seen it. It’s excellent and some of Errol Morris’s best work. I’m a big Errol Morris fan. If you liked Fast, Cheap and Out of Control, you should watch all of his documentaries. He’s probably best known for The Thin Blue Line and A Brief History of Time, plus The Fog of War which won an Academy Award.
You’re welcome. So now you know “The only things that should be green.”
Heh I had no idea. I’ll check 'em out.
I remember seeing Fast, Cheap and Out of Control because it was on special at the local video rental place (remember them?) for a dollar, and being blown away. Since then, I’ve never met anyone in the flesh who has heard of it (though it doesn’t surprise me that the Dope has people who have seen it 
).
Another movie that is pretty obscure but that I know people here have seen is Come and See. My wife still hasn’t forgiven me for renting it for movie night (it is I think a great movie, but definitely not for everyone! It is truly horrific).
I watched a bit on YouTube just now. I don’t think I could take any more.
Errol Morris is a highly regarded and well known documentary filmmaker. The Thin Blue Line is considered groundbreaking for its style as well as the apparent impact it had on the murder case that was the subject of the film. It’s probably a good place to start with Errol Morris documentaries.
(Sorry for the Errol Morris hijack.)
I mention the movie Hard Candy and have never heard an “I’ve seen that.” Great flick starring Ellen Page.
Also the movie Hick. Watched it on a free movie app on my tablet. I really enjoyed it.
“I’ve seen that.” Ellen Page did a great job.
I’ve seen it. I thought Page’s performance, as well as Patrick Wilson’s, was good.
ETA: I’ve also seen Hick.
I own a copy of the DVD. I’ve never been able to watch it all in one sitting. A few months ago we had a mini-Bad Film Festival, and we watched part of it at 2X speed. THAT made it palatable enough to watch. For a while, anyway.
I have a great love of Bad Films, especially ones So Bad They’re Good. But this one is So bad It’s Bad.
It was shown a lot on one of the cable channels a year or two ago.
You have great taste then!
Has anyone else seen Singing the Blues in Red? It’s a German film about a dissident GDR singer-songwriter who defects to the West over his desire for ideologically pure socialism. I saw it in college - it made me feel all artsy.
Can’t read fast enough to catch up to the end of this thread…
“The Day The Fish Came Out”. With a then pretty much unknown 20 year old Candice Bergen as Electra Brown.
In the early 90’s I saw The Living End at the Angelika Film Center in NYC. It was an artsy, shakey cam, poor audio film about two HIV positive young men on a road trip. It was particularly memorable to me because in my entire life I’ve only laughed at 3 or 4 puns and one of them was during this movie.
[SPOILER]Near the end of the film one of the two men decides to end his life so he rapes the other man while holding a gun to his own head. Just as he ejaculates he pulls the trigger AND… click. The gun was empty.
At this point the girl I was with comments, “That was really an anticlimax.”[/SPOILER]
I saw it just a few months ago. Great movie, although really scary and disturbing.

The Monitors 1969
Avery Schrieber starred in it. A Second City Comedy film. I once met him, I said I loved that film. He said : “You saw that movie? So you’re the guy!”.
Several of** Oscar Micheaux’s** (an early African American filmmaker in Hollywood) films are unlikely to have been seen by most people. Many are “lost” and the majority aave never been seen outside of arthouse theaters for decades.
One his last efforts, God’s Step Children is a film that I saw at a festival in the 1980s. It’s online at several places, but its doubtful that more than a few hundred people have watched since it put on here.
