FLYINFREE


I just finished watching a movie called The Jacket which I'd never heard of and only watched because I was bored out of my mind. Turns out it's a REALLY good movie and right after it finished I was reminded of Firefly, from the ads (those few there were) that Fox put out Firefly didn't look like much to me but it turned out to be the BEST show I've ever seen. So I thought I'd start a thread where people can recommend hidden gems, films/shows that never got much press but stand out in your mind.

These are ones I can think of just off the top of my head:

Movies
The Jacket
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
The Prophecy
Near Dark
Cube
Pi
Cypher
Listen to Me

Shows
Firefly
Hustle (UK TV series)
The D.A.
Eyes
The Inside (another great show that got Foxed)

"...we're still flyin'."
"That's not much."
"It's enough." Malcolm Reynolds and Simon Tam - Serenity

Oh Brother Where Art Thou. This was a hidden gem. Never saw any ads for it when it was in the theaters. Saw it on TV one night and thought "well it's got George Cloony in it, I'll have a look" and ended up being rooted to my seat.

Slingblade with Billy Bob Thorton was really good too.
