NP. Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but: "The Prestige." It isn't at all an "unknown" movie, as it got some very good reviews at the time and stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine, yet I feel like no one to whom I've ever mentioned it has seen it. It's a real mind-bender especially toward the end, and one has to pay attention, but it's fascinating and beautifully made. Period piece with rival magicians constantly competing and a tragic backstory between them that makes it a revenge tragedy. Plus: David Bowie as Nikola Tesla!

Totally different and utterly unknown: "Carter & June." Trashy on purpose, uneven in spots, very funny in spots, and violent. Low-rent cons doing the "one last heist" caper, so not super original, but it just hit me the right way The lead actor, Michael Raymond-James, I've never seen before, but he was believable and you root for him, and the villain (Tim Omundson, unrecognizable to anyone who knows his clean-cut "Psych" character) is elegantly horrible.

"Brassed Off" is an older movie about a brass band made up of miners. It's a UK tradition that collieries have brass bands that compete in huge band competitions. Ewan McGregor and plenty of "I know that Briitsh actor!" folks are in it and it's both sweet and tart. Takes place during some rough times for the mining industry. Hmm. These three movies couldn't be more different from each other. I feel like I've got whiplash.[/quote]
