Great classic film

[Cardnim]

Just watched a really interesting and pretty good old film called "The Stone Tape"
Its from 1972 and its made by the BBC.
As far as I can tell, its no longer available (I just got my VHS copy through eBay and they go for £20 upwards on DVD!)

Really interesting storyline, with strange script and brilliant synth music.
Its a kind of sci-fi / ghost story and is in some places very unsettling and disturbing, in some places scary, and in others just bizarre.

Bonkers and well worth a watch if you are into your film.

Now that Ive watched that.... anyone else got any suggestions for really good "lost" classics, horror, sci-fi ??
(...and without trying to sound up my own arse, assume Ive seen all the usual classics so we dont need to post about those. Im looking for different things we might not have heard of before. )

'Moon' with Sam Rockwell in it. That's a good un. Solaris, that's another. Not lost classics I know, but not films that everyone has watched either.

Moon - Nice one mate, Ive read alot about it - some good, some bad. Great soundtrack by Clint Mansell I think (either him or Craig Armstrong - Im fans of them both so its all good)

Got both Solaris original and one with Clooney that everybody slagged, but I thought it was pretty good. A nice atmosphere and different than the original.

Will give Moon a shot.

Another great one for everyone - "The Assasination of Richard Nixon" - if you like Sean Penn, you HAVE to see it. Awesome film.

Not an old film, however I recently watched the film drive.

It's quite a slow film but has a fab soundtrack ESP if you like synthesisers 80s retro sounds etc.
Was voted film of the year 2011 from memory.

Anyone else watched it?

Has a good plot, plus just has an element of coolness about it.

Havent seen that one Col, cheers mate.
Love 80s synth music - eg. Scarface soundtrack is awesome with that in it, and then all of John Carpenters films. The one note wonder

how about "Strange Days"

Being there is a top oldie. The only comedy to have the lead actor nominated for an oscar and boy was Peter Sellers brilliant.
