Hidden gems

Post by jacojerb »

Do you know any great movies or series that most people don't? Don't just keep it to yourself! Share it here!

I'll be honest, the reason I'm starting this is for Mary and Max, a movie my friend showed me a while ago. Though I don't feel it really deserves its own thread, I must share it!

Mary and Max is a claymation indie film about an 8 year old Australian girl and a 44 year old man from New York who become pen pals.

It premiered in 2009, showed in some film festivals, never in any actual cinemas, which I really find sad. I can easily say it's one of my favourite movies of all time

The music is great, the colours are very well executed, and the plot...

It starts of with showing the humour in the tragedy of the lives of the characters, but as time goes by... I'll just give a fair warning that it's not a comedy

Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. Two British comedies from the 80's that I've been watching lately. Sometimes they're a bit slow but you get some insightful episodes and brilliant back and forth like this.
