What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films


I thought I'd ask other's here to share their thoughts on flicks they've found to be outstanding, or even their own personal favs… aside from those which Hollywood has promoted to the hilt and everyone already knows about unless they’ve benn living on Saturn.

So if you can think of those ‘non main stream’ efforts, or those films which either didn’t get their due, or only a few likely know about, but are indeed, very good to great film experiences, please share your thoughts here. This would be kind of like an indi list of movies so to speak.

So…. What are your fav non block buster flicks?

Here are some of my favs in no particular order:

1 Lonestar State of Mind
2 Thursday
3 A Bronx Tale
4 Clay Pigeons
5 Palmetto
6 Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead
7 Prophecy (any of the first 3)
8 Hollow Point
9 Ice harvest
10 Take the Money and Run

If you have to include a mainstreamer or two go ahead. I’m curious to see as esoteric as many of us are with audio, what’s up with our tastes in film, and hopefully broaden some perspectives there.

Have fun, and thanks very much

the lindsey anderson trilogy of 'if', 'oh lucky man', and 'britainia hospital'........'crime wave'(pre hollywood sam raimi, the cohens, etc)......alan rudolph's'remember my name'(alberta hunter soundtrack)......and a thousand more as well.....
its impossible to find any film that 'hollywood' money didn't go into sooner or later....including all mentioned...If you mean, off the beaten trail however, my favorite trilogy is IF, OH LUCKY MAN, BRITANIA HOSPITAL
