Lesser known movie rental recommendation thread
Anytime I want to rent a movie, I feel like I've seen every movie that I really think I would want to see (I at least feel this way for movies from 1970 onward; still some older ones that I haven't gotten around to seeing but am working on that).
I figured it might help to have a place for people to recommend movies that it's likely a lot of people may not have seen. Even though I'm sure there will be a lot of recommendations for movies that I've already seen (since I watch a ton of movies), it might help others in finding some stuff to rent, and I'm sure I'll find a few good ideas too.
I'll start off with some that I saw of the lesser known movies (may not all be very obscure) I've rented this year that I enjoyed (not saying these are all great movies, but I enjoyed them enough to recommend them):
Uprising (drama about Jews in the Warsaw ghetto)
Shattered Glass
The Statement (Michael Caine)
Charlotte Gray (Cate Blanchett)
The United States of Leland
You Can Count on Me
Good Bye Lenin (German flick)
The Human Stain (Anthony Hopkins)
City of God (Brazilian flick; it's in Portuguese, but even if you don't like foreign flicks, you MUST give this one a chance; one of the best movies to be made in the past few years; probably not that obscure due to Oscar nominations and positive word of mouth)
