Best 'jewel in the rough' movie I have ever seen! Any others?


I saw this last night for the second time and it was just as good as it was the first time i saw it. What was your best jewel in the rough movie?

Twenty-eight days. six hours. forty-two minutes. twelve seconds. That..is when the world will end

Well since it's close to Christmas I'll say The Silent Partner. An amazing little Canadian film from 1978. It's better if you just watch the film without knowing anything about it going in. A warning though, it's not for the faint of heart, it is a little twisted, but it is a very good and fairly unknown film indeed. It has a 7.6 rating here currently with just over 3000 voters. I gave it an 8 myself. It stars Elliott Gould, Christopher Plummer, and Susannah York, and John Candy has a small and fairly funny role. If you like crime thrillers, and you don't mind a little grit in your films, check it out asap! You'll wanna thank me later.


My body's a cage, it's been used and abused...and I...LIKE IT!!
