I quite like Malice in Wonderland and The Men Who Stare at Goats. Art School Confidential is quite similar to Cashback in some ways. The plot's asinine but some characters and some scenes are great. |

uktv_the_bridge_still[1].jpg There's a series called Orphan Black that I've watched all of the first season of. I first saw it on iPlayer, at first I thought it was really just naff but after an episode or two I was quite hooked and definitely looking forward to season 2 (April 2014, apparently). |

Operation_Endgame_poster_1[1].jpg More or less straight-to-DVD movie Operation: Endgame is something my dad had in his huge stack of copy DVDs that we picked at random to watch and I thoroughly enjoyed it. That said, to this day I still call it "Project Endgame". |

MV5BMTgxODQyNTY0MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjMwMjU0Nw@@._.jpg I can't recommend The Raid enough. I went to see it at the cinema with absolutely no idea what it was just because my mate invited me and didn't know it was an Indonesian film until I got there. The story is basically identical to the recent Judge Dredd film except everything about it is a million times better. At least a million. |

st05[1].jpg Watched Shock Treatment the other day, and really enjoyed it. It's a sort of follow up to The Rocky Horror Picture Show but less sex-centric, with some of the same cast playing different roles, and Brad and Janet played by different actors. Great music, and criminally overlooked for not being a rehash of Rocky Horror. The story is really good too, being a satire of reality TV decades before it became ubiquitous. |

hysteria_ver4_xlg.jpg It could have been a considerably better film if they focused more on hysteria and the invention of the vibrator instead of the romance story with Maggie Gyllenhaal, who I am convinced they have dubbed over with Emma Thompson, and her righteousness about helping the poor and equality for women (messages they laid on with all the subtlety of a brick to the face) but it's still a charming little film. |

The-Heist.jpg I thought this was going to be another shitty crime film on Netflix that my girlfriend decided to put on, but it was a lot better than I expected. The poster sends the wrong message - it's a light comedy and Christopher Walken is the lead actor, not Morgan Freeman. Walken, Freeman and Macy work as security guards at an art gallery and are distraught to learn that their favourite pieces of art have been sold to a gallery in Copenhagen, so they plan to steal them while they're being taken to the airport. I've just had a look on Wiki and it says it was never released at the cinema because the distributor went bankrupt. |

Extreme Measures is a film I really enjoyed. With Hugh Grant, Gene Hackman and Sarah Jessica Parker, I can only assume it was meant as a serious big-budget thriller - but they didn't pull it off. What they did make seems like a charming low-budget B-movie, whose bad acting and ridiculous plot make it a thoroughly enjoyable unintentional comedy. |

They also seem to have just blatantly ripped off a classic post-apoc novel for certain bits of it, but it's worth watching just for the art direction. |

Treat yourself to Headhunters the film of the jonesbo book. Also I rarely enjoy horror films, but I liked REC. |

enemy-poster-jake-gyllenhaal.jpg I don't think it's much of a hidden gem, but I watched this last night and enjoyed it a lot. I was in my kitchen about half an hour after the film had ended and went "oh, I get it" to myself. If you're into your hard crush or just really fancy Jake Gyllenhaal I can highly recommend it, for everyone else it's still worth a look. |

Lads, I'm trying to track down a film I saw one night on Channel 4 years ago. |

Colossal-2.jpg I always want something I've never gotten elsewhere when I watch a film, and Colassal certainly delivers. 100% recommended watch on my part. |

vast_of_night_ver2_xlg.jpg I watched this last night before bed and it was so good I decided to bump this old thread because it's basically the perfect definition of a hidden gem. |

april-and-the-extraordinary-world.jpg I really liked this. It's a kind of French steam-punk animated movie that does a good job giving you interesting villains and world-building. One of the things I especially appreciated was the animation style that is clearly influenced by Tintin and so matches the time period it's set. |

Rawheadrexposter[1].jpg Thanks for the many suggestions, lads. Some of them are a bit too high-brow for the occasion, and given we'll be stoned in a hot tub when we watch, I'm not sure a foreign-language movie is our best bet either. I've given them all a look-see and try to get a better idea of the vibe with the wife. |

MV5BODA4MTAwNzIxMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDE0NDUxOTE@._.jpg This has been referenced in a lot of tv shows but I never watched it until the internet started talking about it. Bit of a lost gem of the 80s which is probably owed to how lot of things happening are absolutely not okay now and the overall moral lesson being something that would have schools up in arms. |
