Looking for under the radar/small/lowbudget movie recommendations

[margodydek]

Before Sunrise (Don't shy away from this romance, it's quite thoughtful)
Before Sunset (See above (hint: it's great))
Sunshine (Epic)
Primer (Mind Bending but really hard to follow in just one sitting)
The Wackness (A solid coming of age movie)
The Man From Nowhere (Korea's version of "Taken", I thought it was better though)

Movies I want to see:
Bernie
Safety Not Guaranteed
There's one other, but I can't remember it right now.

Larry'sbows, I just saw The Man From Nowhere about a month ago. Solid. I gotta ask if you've seen Oldboy.

Watched Bernie last night, I highly recommend it. Very funny.

The student section does the Bernie at the Michigan games - good times.

Flowers of War.
Another Bale Flick or I wouldn't have even considered watching it.
Free time+netflix=unique cinematic choices.

No, hadn't hear of her, but looked up some shorts on youtube like "At Land" and could see some parallels.

Will be curious to hear your reaction to Inland Empire. I wasn't expecting the heavy psychological horror aspect of the film and I remember it taking me about an hour or so afterward to settle back into reality. Super draining but well done.

Was always curious to see Elephant Man, but not sure if I ever will.

Meshes of the Afternoon is probably her most famous short. It's also on youtube.

I'll let you know when I watch Inland Empire. I always felt like Lynch could be the master of horror if he wanted to, so it's good to know there's a heavier aspect of horror in this one. You're not the first person who has said that to me about the movie. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, let me know - send me a pm when you post. Would be interested to hear your reaction.

Would love/fear seeing a true horror movie from him - surprised he hasnt done one. I heard he has been working on something new but it sounded like more of a doc.
