What's Your Favorite Movie Nobody Saw?

We're all here to learn about coding movies, so we must like them. Everybody likes Lord of the Rings or Batman, but I thought it might be interesting to ask what's your favorite movie that nobody saw?

I'll start with mine, Gattaca. It's set in the near future where babies are genetically engineered for the best results. Vincent, the main character, was born the old fashioned way and is therefore discriminated against. He longs to be an astronaut, but can never be with his genetic profile. He finds a way to use another's profile to get into Gattaca, the astronaut academy. I don't want give away the plot and ruin it for everyone, but it asks a very important question, what's more important - your genes or the human spirit. What's everyone else's favorite?

If you like realistic gritty war films, try Stalingrad (1993).

Definitely not a family film, though. Includes rape and worse.

Guess what, it's Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
