But "Serpico" is for sure a well-known movie. You living under a rock? [pic]

Originally Posted by smokeweed101.

I think that's somewhat of a stretch. In literate film circles? Definitely. But, as you said, this is a largely North American site so it'd take some going for a 70s North American cult film to be bested in views by a 50s Japanese cult film.
And I actually thought Badlands was a good suggestion, I just didn't think Once Upon A Time In The West deserved chastisement if it, & the likes of Serpico, were deemed worthy of posting. It muddied the thread objective & undermined its likely good intention.

This?

Just because a movie is made in America or in English doesn't mean much, Ozu and Mallick are both going to be underrated by the general public here and those that view ones films probably view the others.

Anyways in The Accused I am pretty sure the accused rapists were white.

A lot have been mentioned already. Diary of a Country Priest, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Ordet, The Color of Pomegranates, Baraka, Winter Light, Seventh Seal (most Bergman movies really), most Tarkovsky movies (Mirror, Stalker, Solyaris etc.), 2001, Amadeus, Dogville, Ikiru, Night of The Hunter, Bicycle Thieves, Tokyo Story etc.

I just watched Bicycle Thieves. Great movie. Tell me why...


I was rooting for dude to steal the bike at the end and get away, but was also happy that it didn't have a "Hollywood" ending? LoL.

Bicycle Thieves is great, I love neorealism and that was the first of them I watched.

Anybody got anything else, any war or dark comedy?
