Hearing Too Late For Love -- Def Leppard

For When You're Standing, Lost, In the Video Store


This list of the 25 Best Movies You've Never Seen. I don't agree with that some of these constitute the "best" movies you've never seen, but at least some of them are pretty good. Also, incidentally, I've seen them all. Hey, being a movie critic for 15 years will make that happen.

Incidentally, my vote for the best movie you've never seen? Mindwalk.

    Two are faves, and I've at least heard of a few of the others.  I've mentioned the week John watched Buckaroo Banzai six simes, yes?  Thought so.

    Eh, my vote in this category always goes for <i>Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead</i>, which manages to be both incredibly (yet smartly) funny and a profoundly (yet neither spoon-fed nor cliched) thought-provoking existential re-mix of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

    Richard Dreyfus could have stolen the show if his acting skills hadn't been matched by those of his co-actors. Instead, all the main roles are powerfully, deeply and yet gleefully played out in a rolling good time of a movie that doesn't sacrifice intelligence for enjoyment. Now, that's my idea of a good time.

    I have actually seen a few of these!  I love Time after Time... have watched it many times.  Love the Gojira... the ORIGINAL Godzilla and it totally kicks ass!  And, I love The Black Cat!  LOL  I also thought that Falling Down and Breakdown were good and totally underrated...

    be well,
    Dawn

    Well, they were right about the never having seen part. I have only seen one from that list.

    The only one I've seen on there is Heavenly Creatures. Peter Jackson did a hell of a job with that movie.

    Besides. Three words and adjective:

    Young Kate Winslet

    Yummy.
