If you love movies about forgotten corners of America with a strong sense of place, this is one of them.

+3
Definitely a riveting movie and Jennifer Lawrence was wonderful. I love seeing a movie with unknown actors, and knowing right then that I'm seeing something special, someone who will later become famous.

Have you watched Oblivion with Tom Cruise?

For some reason I don't think I heard of it until I caught some of it on TV recently. It was kind of interesting.

Another one that I don't think I heard of before until watching on TV is Now You See Me. But I think that movie must have been popular since they're doing a sequel for it. Maybe I'm just not keeping up to date on what movies are out there now. I'm also finding that I like movies that Mark Ruffalo is in.

Then add You Can Count On Me to your list, if you haven't seen it. Mark Ruffalo, Laura Linney, Matthew Broderick. Very well done but only made $8 million.

NP here. I liked it, too.

I think Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow are the same movie, and they changed the title.

I own Go on DVD. It sounds like a lot of people saw it, actually.

American History X is very good, but the "curbing" scene assured I would not be rewatching it

In Bruges

I love Stricky Ballroom!

The Sessions. So funny and moving. I can't recommend it enough.

A Midnight Clear. From the early 90s.

Biutiful
Dirty Pretty Things
The Winter Guest
The Sweet Hereafter

Actually, maybe The Sweet Hereafter was popular when it was released. I don't remember. I do know when I mention it now, no one seems to have heard of it.

Agree. Really good action flick with a cool plot and good pacing.

Jennifer Westfeldt is a great actress (she was in Friends with Kids).

Correct, she also starred in "Kissing Jessica Stein" which was released in the early 2000's. Did about 7 mil at the box office.

She wrote and directed Friends with Kids, too.
