As movie fans in general love lists. Whether it is a Best Of, a Worst Of, or even a Must See Before You Die type of thing, we fans just eat that up. Because it gives us a couple of things. First of all, it shows us someone else’s opinion of that they are considering should be in whatever the list is. We immediately start to pick that apart, either agreeing or disagreeing with the titles on there. And then we start to wonder why they didn’t include a certain movie that you think should have been on the list. But the other thing is that we start to go down the list looking for titles that we have not seen. Once we find one, we start to think that since this person thinks it’s an important film, then maybe I should really sit down and see it. It’s an old habit of a die-hard movie fan. Which is one of the reasons why we have come up with our own list of 100 Overlooked and Obscure Films. What we tried to do was come up with a 100 movie titles that might have either escaped your radar entirely, or maybe you knew about, but for some reason just never got around to and had forgotten about. Plus there are some films that have slipped by without really any notice or fanfare, that we feel is just a crime. Some of these you might have heard of, some not. Some of these movies we consider great movies while others might only rate as good. But we feel that all of them are entertaining and definitely worth watching. So here is your year-long challenge: Make sure that you have seen every single one of these movies. Now if you’ve seen them already, then you can scratch them off the list. Just make sure it’s not one of those “I think I’ve seen that before” type of deal. I can pretty much guarantee that there are a few titles on here that you have not see. So for some, it might be a pretty quick task. Others…not so much. There are no prizes for this challenge. It is not a contest. The only winners out there are going to be the ones that have all of these films under their belt. It is just a challenge for those out there that love going through movie lists. Plus, it is another great way to experience some new films that you might have not been aware of, or even simply gives you an idea of something to watch. We would also invite you to post your thoughts on the movies that you do watch on our Message Board. We would love to hear the different opinions and thoughts about these movies. Though I would prefer no spoilers mentioned at all, but if you must, just please mention way ahead of time so those who haven’t seen it can avoid it. Once you see one of the films on the list, please post your thoughts under that movie title. Then when the next person who has seen it, or even if you have seen it, you can post your thoughts as well. Get the idea? So here it is. The List. I want to thank all of you out there that sent in your thoughts, your ideas, and plenty of titles. Also thanks to my good friend from across the pond, Gert Verbeeck, who sent me a ton of great titles, and Aaron Christensen who helped me trim this list down to a manageable number. Most of these are available on DVD, Netflix, streaming, or video rental the old fashion way. But some may be a little tougher to find. So that is just a little added challenge for you. Good luck. Good viewing. And most of all…have fun!
