What's a good movie you've seen that's NOT in the IMDB top 250? (hidden gems) (srs)

Here's the IMDB top 250.

https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/

For me it would be "Don't Look Up" in 2021 starring Leo, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Meryll Streep, Jonah Hill, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande.

There are a lot of mediocre movies rated higher then Cool Hand Luke (not on the list) on that list, I didn't see any Paul Newman movies on there, The Hustler was pretty damn good too. I'd put Slingblade above a bunch of them too.

My taste in movies is a bit different I guess. Love the Underworld movies. Had some good actors in there as well like Bill Nighy, and Michael Sheen.

I was thinking the same thing. The Hustler was great and so was Hud.

They snubbed Daniel Day Lewis too, one movie on the list no:

Gangs of New York
There will be Blood
Last of the Mohicans

No Gladiator

I'd put Apocalypto on the list above a bunch of those as well

Literally like 90% of Tom Cruise's resume isn't on that shitty list. You can pretty much just start there. Collateral being the best.

That list has Top Gun Maverick on there but not the original Top Gun. A monkey made that list (srs)
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

The 1965 epic russian version of war and peace. The one directed by sergey Bondarchuk. It probably is on the list because its amazing. Its free to watch (all four parts) with english subtitles on mosfilms youtube Chanel.

It’s tough to decide what the saddest final scene was. Pops yelling at Joe for starting his daughter drinking, and just wanting his daughter back and crying at what she’d become, or Kirstie begging Joe for their alcoholic marriage together back.

Nope, I rarely check what's being produced here and think some tv series today are much better than movies as well. Even found some spanish ones with good actors etc. Just never saw anything I liked over here.

Nick Cage made so many films to pay his gambling debts, and he overacted enough to make some great.
