Recommend sleeper/foreign/uncommon movies

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

As they say, "foreign films are best left to foreigners".

Das Boot

That's actually a good movie, but I absolutely hate Juergen Prochnow. He pops up in some absolutely terrible movies (a bit like a ####### that floats) with the one consolation that the characters he plays often die in nasty and extremely bizarre ways.

Speaking of which, a 1983 Michael Mann movie called The Keep, is a particular favourite of mine. Juergen's in that too - gets his soul sucked out by a demon. Which was nice.

It always bugged me that the submarine, survives till the end of the movie only to be destroyed by a plane - which conveniently does a strafeing run to machine gun Juergen, so that he doesn't live to see the credits.

There was another Submarine movie I saw that I liked much better, especially the ending. Had Kurt Jurgens (you might remember me as the web-fingered villain from The Spy Who Loved Me) as a U-Boat Captain Vs. Robert Mitchum in his shiny American destroyer. I forget the name, but they all end up together in a life raft at the end.

Das Boot was a 6 hour mini series to begin with. Cut down into a theatrical movie and added to for a directors cut. I liked it.

They repeated the mini-series in the UK a short while ago. Shame Wolfgang Peterson went on to turn out some righteous garbage like Poseidon (the remake)

Dani...JUST rented Dear Frankie, and loved it! It is pretty much a chick flick though.

Rch..Craig and Corey just watched Kung Fu Hustle...I'm not the least interested, but they found it hilarious. (although I did find that main chick who could run like mad pretty funny...)

Yes. It's disturbing and depressing...especially seeing the really young kids when they gun down the one gang leader.
