ITT Your favorite "hidden gem" type movie.
Mine's 3 O'Clock High. Nobody ever seems to remember this one. It's a shame, because it's High Noon meets John Hughes. What's not to love?

I really like this smart political satire with Peter Cook and a couple Monty Python members. It came out right before Monty Python started making their own movies, but it seems to have been overlooked for the most part.

I don't think this is on DVD or even VHS. It's a fragmented Frank Perry movie that reunites the stars of Pretty Poison, Tuesday Weld and Anthony Perkins, to play much more complex characters.

Some people here might like the mostly forgotten Fade to Black (1980) about a loner obsessed with cinema culture so much that he loses touch with reality. The production is cheap at times but it's a fun watch. Reviews at the time were pretty negative but Ebert gave it 3/4 stars.

Bus 44. It's an amazing short based on a true story but no one I know remembers it.

Sadly this film was overshadowed by its imitator, George Romero's Night of the Living Dead.

It's a great film though, Price gives a fine performance, the sets are very nicely designed and the plot is good too.

Sadly Romero gets all the credit for "reinventing zombies" when actually all he did was take this film's vampires, make them less dangerous and rename them.

3-O'clock High, that was a great movie. I love how the hero tries every dirty trick he can before 3:00.

The Last Man on Earth. Immensely better than it's Will Smith imitator.

My go-to for hidden gem movies is always Phantom of the Paradise. Where a composer is dragged into the seedy underworld of a record producer's club opening. It's Faust, it's Phantom, it's the 70's. Like a low profile Tommy, prepare for wonderful and crazy at the same time.

Rock and Rule, and Dr Horrible's sing-along blog, both deserves mention as well.
