Cooter Brown Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Not sure if it was low budget at the time, but you don't see it much anymore--"Little Big Man" is a good flick. "We shall use this man as a reverse barometer!" Link to post Share on other sites

"We shall use this man as a reverse barometer!" It had a huge budget. The box office returns did not reflect the cost. Although I liked it a lot, I didn't think that Dustin Hoffman was the right guy for the part. What the movie left us was a huge compendium of quotable quotes. Link to post Share on other sites
Bert in W N.C. Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The Land of Mine, and The Eagle Huntress. The former was set in post WWII Denmark. The later was was filmed in Mongolia within the past three years. In both of these movies you will be reading sub-titles. These are two wonderful films. Link to post Share on other sites
T-Bone Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just saw it... Lucky with Harry Dean Stanton at age 91 in his final role. Just a GREAT little film with tremendous acting by Harry and even him singing quit well. David Lynch in a supporting role and Tom Skerrit in a cameo role are wonderful, too.

Tom Avent Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Someone mentioned it back a ways......Repo Man with Harry Dean Stanton. Even though it might not qualify, I'll still stop what I'm doing to watch Pulp Fiction Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Ret Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 If you like your movies a little on the twisted side, "Angel Heart" with Robert Deniro and Mickey Rourke is worth a watch. Link to post Share on other sites

Cooter Brown Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 There's a movie that I don't think was a big hit that could qualify on this and the Westerns thread--"Hildalgo". Link to post Share on other sites
sneem Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Best In Show. A very funny satire of dog shows and the people in them. Ballroom Dancing. An Australian movie about competitive ball room dancing. A sort of ugly duckling story but very well done and funny in its own way. I also have to give a vote to Local Hero. I watched it just a week or so ago. At the very beginning listen to the radio broadcast as the Porsche goes down the street. The radio announcer in the background gives the Dow Jones close for the day.........710. Link to post Share on other sites
