My problem with this kind of thread/question is this: I have watched hundreds of wonderful films, some well-known, some obscure, but the moment I start trying to remember them for the purposes of a thread like this they fly out of my head.

There's a film I am trying to remember the title of which just refuses to come out of hiding...an Aussie film I think ( I think...forgive me it was ages ago, it might have been a Kiwi film...). A very strange, funny, but truly macabre horror flick. Set in the middle of nowhere, with a family of in-bred odd balls, the children of which took great delight in hunting down animals and humans and getting high on their adrenal glands.

I've only ever seen it mentioned on serious horror-geek sites. But it's a classic to my mind.

Anyways, here's one that I love and which doesn't seem to be that well known. Certainly not as well-known as it deserves to be imo:

Love and a .45

I wasn't really expecting much from it to be honest. I only watched it because at the time (mid to late 90s) I was attempting to acquire every film on Jeffrey Combs's filmography...what can I say...I was unemployed at the time, and y'know...ya gotta have goals right?

Most of the films were actually pretty shit. Combs, like the stand-up character actor that he is usually provided a small, but entertaining interlude between much larger segments of shit in some shitty low budget flick. ('Dead Man Walking' is a good example of that...and no, not that Dead Man Walking...the other one). But Love and a .45 was kind of joyful.

Of course, in my mind, with Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke, and Jude Law... it had me at hello!

But I really like the film.

Great film. Might be my favorite.

Yes, it was. But then I have a fondness for the word "Fuck".

Here's a deleted scene from In Bruges. Starring the current Doctor, Matt Smith. A flashback scene.

nsfw

deleted, no doubt, because of a deficiency of fuck, with just one utterance in nearly two minutes. That slows the pacing too much, too much.

I like that in the middle of all the fucking there is a shortarse.

One of my favorites, a movie I can watch again even though I only saw it recently, or start half way through if it comes up on TV.

I thought Gattaca was great though have only seen it once , must try it agin to see if it has staying power.
