here's one I know no one has seen...



Geeks, Sneaks, and Chicken Cheeks: The Definitive Guide to the Truly Weirdest Jobs on the Planet

It's more of a documentary so I don't know if that counts...

The Machinist and Equilibrium are two lesser known movies that I recently saw (both starring Christian Bale, oddly enough). Both were excellent...

Thanks for bumping this, BB73. It's nice to read older threads I wasn't around for. I've added a few things to my must see list... A few recent favorites of mine that haven't been mentioned:

The Royal Tenenbaums
Magnolia
Lost in Translation


The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Wiene)

Many, many others. If anyone out there is interested in foreign movies, silents, cults classics, and other film esoterica, let me know, and I'll give you some recommendations.

Great movie, LJB. I've only dabbled in foreign & silent films, mostly German ones, but that's one of my favorites. I'll have to check out your other recommendations. Have you seen Fritz Lang's M? Another favorite of mine - better than Metropolis.

Edited for spelling - even the deputy nazi makes mistakes...

"The Dinner Game":

"Each week, Pierre and his friends organize what is called as "un dîner de cons". Everyone brings the dumbest guy he could find as a guest. Pierre thinks his champ -François Pignon- will steal the show."


Summary written by Laurence Chassaing


"The wealthy editor Pierre Brochant (Thierry Lhemitte) and his friends have a competition: every Wednesday, each one of them invites the dumbest jackass he can find for a dinner, where each one of the guests is invited to talk about himself as much as possible. Later, after the guests say goodbye, the group of friends makes fun and elects the more stupid and imbecile guest. Pierre invites François Pignon (Jacques Villeret), a man that works in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and makes "maquettes" to forget his beloved wife, who had went away with a friend of him two years ago, for the dinner. However, a tough pain in one vertebra of his spinal column does not allow Pierre to meet his friends for the game and he stays alone with solicitous, but clumsy and stupid François in his apartment. Every attempt of François helping Pierre goes wrong, becoming the night of Pierre a terrible nightmare."
