iantjambo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I’ll start with ‘Storm of the Century’. I’m not even sure if it can be classed as a movie or if it’s a two part mini series. All the same, it’s absolutely brilliant and typical of most Stephen King movies, it’s creepy as hell. Colm Feore knocked it out the park as the antagonist. Andre Lenoge.

annushorribilis III Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Hell or High Water, it's been shown on C4 several times. Clever story , good acting and great characters. The script/screen play (?) got an Oscar nomination , I think. Robbing the Mob. Based on a true story of a young NY guy who finds out mobsters have social clubs where anyone can go , from any family. No1 rule : no guns, so he goes around robbing them at gunpoint. It's a clever story and it doesn't have a schmaltzy ending.

JWL Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 2 films with Peter Falk. Maybe not so much underrated as just not seen by a lot of people. First one is Murder by Death, a spoof on fictional detectives from the likes of Agatha Christie and Dashiell Hammett (Falk plays a character called Sam Diamond). Tremendous film. The other is The Cheap Detective, a spoof on Casablanca. Again, seriously funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
