Line 146:
* ''[[Barry Lyndon]]'': An underrated [[Stanley Kubrick]] masterpiece telling the tale of a wandering rogue finding many adventures in war and gambling into nobility. Much lush visuals like a picaresque painting and a charming story too.
* ''[[Black Dynamite]]'': When describing it to other people who haven't seen it, this troper calls it "the funniest movie you've never seen." It only played in theaters for two weeks and grossed just short of $300,000 on a $2.6 million budget.
* ''[[The Element of Crime]]'': Lars von Trier's debut movie, a dark, [[Deliberately Monochrome]], [[Psychological Thriller|psychological crime thriller]] which simultaneously [[Homage|Homages]] and [[Deconstruction|deconstructs]] [[Film Noir]], set in the [[After the End|post-apocalyptic]] [[Crapsack World]] of post-[[World War II]], [[Scenery Gorn|destroyed beyond recognition Germany]], with elements of [[Diesel PunkDieselpunk]] and [[Mind Screw]], shot in a style that is essentially [[German Expressionism]] [[Up to Eleven|turned up to eleven]]. The result is [[Up to Eleven|darker than]] [[Blade Runner]]. One of the most neglected films of [[The Eighties]].
* The dark satire ''[[Man Bites Dog]]'' definitely [[Needs More Love]], but it's easy to see why it didn't catch on. A mockumentary about a [[Serial Killer]] and the violent crimes he commits? And it's ''funny''? It simply must be seen to be believed.
* ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service]]'' is possibly the best Bond film that no one knows about. It's also the closest adaptation of the bunch, sticking to Ian Fleming's novel from the explosive beginning, to the absolutely heartwrenching ending. It's just as much a Shakespearean tragedy as it is an action film. Just watch it; Lazenby is actually pretty good as Bond.
