Here is a place to list movies that you feel are quirky or underrated.
If a movie gets a bunch of Academy Awards I usually don't bother to watch it. I've never seen ET, and only recently watched Close Encounters. I tend to prefer the low-key sort of movies to the big block-busters.
I could probably list 10 titles without too much thought, but I think each film deserves it's own post. I'll keep the description short, but with a link to IMDB.
The Linguini Incident - a comedy with Rosanna Arquette as an aspiring escape artist and David Bowie as an illegal immigrant
I'd give it about a 7.2 out of 10.
