Never Seen It highlights films that you might not have heard of or watched but definitely should, the kind of films that aren’t as well-known as others and don’t attain the accreditation or accolade they perhaps deserve. The films noted may not be 5-star features but every one mentioned is a film worthy of your time…
We examine the work of one of the most iconic writer-directors of all time in the first episode of John Hughes Revisited: Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was released on June 11, 1986, 35 years ago today.
While the rest of us were just thinking about it...Ferris borrowed a Ferrari and did it...all in a day.
Umm....does this site understand the implications behind "Never Seen It.....movies you might not have heard of"? Seriously Talladega Nights? Ferris Bueller? Naked Gun? Even Blazing Saddles and Dr Strangelove should've been heard of before. Maybe the author is a teenager and to him these are "obscure" movies because he has no clue about cinema prior to Toy Story?
You want some real examples, try:
Old Boy
Run Lola Run
The Day Watch trilogy (though unfortunately the third hasn't made it to film yet)
Requiem for a Dream
Pi
Donnie Darko
Audition
Dark City (the original Matrix)
Want to stick to just comedies that aren't necessarily 5-star movies but worth the watch?
Idle Hands
BASEketball
The Gods Must Be Crazy
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
The Man Who Knew Too Little
Grosse Point Blank
Beerfest
Ghost Town
A Goofy Movie
Balls Out
Bandits
Drop Dead Fred
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
The Good Girl
The Onion Movie
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell
Film Geek
Grandma's Boy
That's just to name a few.
One I'd like to mention as well, I think technically it's a "horror" movie. But it's a mockumentary and can be pretty funny in parts. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.
