What is a underrated film only you know about?
. The White, The Yellow And The Black (1975)
AKA 'Samurai' and 'Shoot first... Ask Questions Later'. A pretty funny and well written spaghetti western. Worth a watch if your looking for some light entertainment and a few laughs.
. Get Him To The Greek (2010)
Don't understand why films like 'Superbad' (2007) and '21 Jump Street' (2010) become beloved classics while this was forgotten. It's got the comedy of a raunchy late-2000's Seth Rogan like film and the action of a James Bond movie. The inclusion of Pedo Diddy didn't age well but that can be forgiven.
You're viewing a single thread.
A Scanner Darkly (2006) is a rotoscoped movie based on a Philip K Dick novel set in future LA with a detective trying to find the supply of a dangerous new drug while being addicted to it and suffering from his addiction. The rotoscoping helps add a vibe of delirium to the movie and it is well acted including probably one of the best uses of Keanu Reeves as an actor.
One of Robert Downey Jr's best roles. He was so detached and horrible in the role while being an absolute goofball (that silencer and the bike). He reminded me of a few tweakers I used to know.
Checking out more of Richard Linklater's work is also highly recommended.
Waking Life (2001)
Philosophy and dreams combine for an enlightening journey. It's a good rewatch if you've not seen it in a long while.
Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), Before Midnight (2013, I haven't seen this one)
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have beautiful explorations of love and the human condition.
I like that two different people recommended Linklater films. But the ones you listed in response to A Scanner Darkly are my favorites of his. You should finish the trilogy.
