Matt’s movies you might have missed

Man, I love movies. Everything from the cinematography to the writing, the acting, directing and everything in between. I’ve seen those movies we all know and love, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Godfather or 12 Angry Men. However, sometimes I’ll enjoy a movie and find myself surprised I hadn’t heard of it before. Here is a list of some of those movies.

Update: 2022-08-14 - This list is available on trakt.tv

• A prophet (un prophete)
• Oldboy
• Infernal Affairs - The basis for The Departed
• The Disappearance of Alice Creed - A single room movie
• Tucker And Dale vs Evil
• The Bothersome Man (Den brysomme mannen)
• Kontroll - A dark comedy/Hungarian movie
• The Man from Earth - A single room movie.
• Timecrimes
• Serenity - Pffft. Nerd. How’d this get in here.
• A Scanner Darkly
• The Matador
• Super Troopers - So good I backed the sequel
• Stalker <= This was added before the Reddits wouldn’t shut up about it. Perhaps I should remove it.
• 22 bullets (L’immortel)
• Cube - Another one room movie
• Insomnia
• Troll Hunter
• How to Make Money Selling Drugs - I found this highly entertaining (har har)
• Avalon - A dark dystopian cyberpunk future
• Barry Lyndon - A Stanley Kubrick flick
• Black Dynamite - Hilarious mockery of black exploitation films
• Bullitt - A classic. Best chase scene in a movie
• Withnail & I
• Roman Holiday
• Sleepless Night (Nuit Blanche)
• Thief

The list above will likely grow, as I remember movies and see new ones.

• The Grand Budapest Hotel
• Europa Report - Fun style of story telling
• The Great Beauty - La Grande Bellezza - Art house movie
• Sexy Beast
• Citizen Ruth - A mid nineties comedy around the abortion debate
• Sorcerer - Suspense
• Scenic Route - This scratched the ‘one room’ movie itch for me, even thought it’s not strictly so.
• Coherence - Another ‘one room’ movie. A very cool thriller that is a mind-fuck.
• The Mist - I’ve probably watched this movie twice now. Go in not knowing anything about it. I loved the ending, but can’t say more without spoilers.
• Locke - There is only one actor that appears in this movie, Tom Hardy. It’s a wonderful if not heart breaking story.
• Bon Cop, Bad Cop - Some fun Canadian content
• Paris, Texas - Well shot. Well acted. Well written.
• Lincon Lawyer - Amazing cast, very well written and I love a movie set in L.A.
• Tape - Yet another excellent one room movie.
