Legend (1986) starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry and directed by Ridley Scott. Soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. A weird movie but very watchable. You can’t turn away.

Under the radar — I promise you that the third installment of Brigit Jones’ Diary, the one where she is pregnant, is hilarious. Like i cried laughing.

+1 for Amelie. Also suggest Girl With the Pearl Earring

How did you watch? I was looking on every platform for Amelie and couldn’t find it anywhere.

Under the radar? it had a $10M budget and made $174M at the box office when it came out.

Think it was pretty much under the radar in North America though. Did win People's Choice Award at TIFF.

What? It was incredibly popular and successful here. It launched Audrey Tatou and she was on every magazine cover for a year because she was the most charming person ever, and wore that cool fish-scale dress to the Oscars (IIRC) and then was on a bunch more magazine covers because she was the most stylish person ever. She never had another movie nearly as successful in North America, not as a lead.

It does not matter!

OP is sick and wants suggestions for good movies they might have missed. Don't turn EVERYTHING into some kind of debate/contest, for God's sake!

NP here. I certainly have never heard of it.

NP. It was heavily promoted in the US. It was everywhere. Were you a kid when it came out or something?

Rabbit Hole. Nicole Kidman playing a normal grief-stricken mother. It’s one of those simple movies that tear your heart because you feel her pain.

OMG this movie! We had it on VHS and I watched it all the time as a child. It also has Sloane from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And unicorns!
