The world of cinema is filled with hidden gems that often don’t get the recognition they deserve.
Share your recommendations, along withwhy you think it’s a must-watch. Whether it’s an obscure indie film, a forgotten classic, or a foreign masterpiece, we want to hear about it!
Off the top of my head:
Cruising by William Friedkin
A compelling study of one’s sexuality (or rather its fragility) disguised as a Giallo-esque police procedural/serial killer movie.
Black Narcissus by Powell and Pressburger
A horror movie that never really was. A story of one’s desires chipping away at their psyche told through the perspective of a couple of missionaries tasked with building a church in the Himalayas.
Marathon Man by John Schlesinger
An anxiety-inducing thriller from the 70s filled to the brim with paranoia. Perfectly reflects the political unrest of said decade.
Tramps by Adam Leon
A cute, rather inconsequential story about two people finding themselves being gradually drawn to one another as they spend one entire day with each other.
Oh, I’ve wanted to watch Black Narcissus for a while now!
