BB got me thinking about under appreciated crime flicks. I'll throw up The Limey. Terrence Stamp is great, as is the supporting cast. 'You tell him I'm coming!'

I'd also toss in "Point Blank", which was re-made as "Payback" in the 90's. Based on the Westlake(Stark) Parker books-

.

And while it's more mainstream, I'll toss up The Getaway, mainly bcause it's free, is a great quick flick, and stars a awesomely scary Al Letteri as the head bad guy. Shame he died early.

.

That's my gift---

Ha, Gummo struck me as a film you don't really watch, but rather look at and go WTF?-

You seen the latest one (not sure if it's a remake)? Had some nice titties in it.

The Limey is fantastic. Point Blank, too. Not sure if these were underrated or just underpopular.

I'll add State of Grace, City Hall, Beautiful Girls, Insomnia (Chris Nolan remake), and Ladykillers (Coens remake). Also, Session 9 and The Descent - most underrated horror flicks ever.

The best western you never heard of:

Australian western, so maybe that makes it a southern.

True. I recently just watched Get Carter, and this time through really noticed that Newcastle was the real star. Very gritty and hearkens back to an almost other lifetime ago, but of course it was only '71. I was also so taken by Eddie Coyle that I have a copy of George Higgins' book on my shelf. Great dialogue, and Elmore Leonard says it is one of his favourite reads.

Get Carter was good but I cant say it was better than Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
