There must be another thread like this, where I have already posted Hero - assuming you mean the Chevy Chase, Geena Davis, Andy Garcia flick with others from Groundhog Day.

Ahhh. If only I had the time to reread great threads (with my great input).
Thanks for the info. Of course, Hero is worth mentioning more than once.
I hope I already mentioned The Last Mimzy.

Found that this is playing on TV this month on Charge! network, which for me is the third-sister network of CW - so it is free. If you also get this, you can check the free broadcast of UHF.
Looks like I'll be glued to the TV whenever I run across it. Can't seem to tune out Stanley Spudowski.

Not sure if I already listed The Boy In Blue (early Nick Cage) and Tim (early Mel Gibson).

Hulu appears to have almost all the ones pre-1970.
(I'd post the link, but this board does funky things with Hulu URLs!)
And I really loved Blind Fury!

Thanks, Kwicko, for alerting me to Lucky Number Slevin, and FYI your other pick, the Andre Braugher Thief, is also on Hulu.

Some of my favorite little-knowns:

Le Mans [1971]
Buckaroo Banzai [1984]
Manhunter [1986]
Grand Canyon [1991]
The Hunted [1995]
Crossworlds [1997]
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang [2005]
Appaloosa [2008]


I agree with Manhunter - the original Hanibal Lector entry.

I thik I mentioned Mute Witness, but not sure about Map of The Human Heart. i do enjoy John Cusack films which aren't sappy rom-coms.
