Have you seen it?

Like most people we consider ourselves something of a cinephile. We have collections of hundreds of movies and have seen well into the thousands. There are some movies we love and some we hate. Granted a lot of our favorite movies are some of those movies that most people would consider a classic, cult-classic or even just a good recent movie; but then there are those that you've probably never heard of.

By chance you're sitting home bored and possibly even sick, its one of those months where you get all of the movie channels for free. You're not very picky and you're looking for something to pass the time. You stumble across a movie you've never seen and never even heard of and get cosy in your bed/couch/floor. 10-minutes in and you're either completely engaged or are searching for some redeeming quality to keep you from turning the channel. If you keep watching it may just turn out to be one of your favoite movies of all time, or maybe just a good guilty pleasure flick. Thats how Emilolz stumbled across the first movie on our list. These are the movies that we love, but you have never seen.

Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants)(2003)

This is a Foreign film, from France so keep an open mind. This is a charming story of two best firends who play a dangerous game of dares through out the course of their lives. Its a very sweet movie and I guarantee you'll love it if you give it a chance.

The Client List (2010)

This is the true story of a former beauty queen turned massage therapist who takes a job at a massge parlor after her husband suffers an injury that prevents him from working. Soon after she is hired she learns that the customers expext more than a good rub, if you catch my drift.

It was a made for TV (Lifetime) movie, but dont discredit it! It is a good story with decent acting(Stars: Jennifer Love Hewitt).

Dedication(2007)

This romantic dramedy definitely deserves a viewing or two! It was one of those movies that was released as Blockbuster exclusive, and let me tell you it is awesome. This movie stars Billy Crudup ( very sexy man) and Mandy Moore (love her!). It tells the story of a childrens book author who is forced to work with a new illustrator after his longtime only friend and collaborator dies.

A Lot Like Love (2005)

This is also one of my all time favorite movies, it will put you in a good mood, make you think about your relationships and make your heart swell. It stars Ashton Kutcher as Oliver and Amanda Pete as Emily. I don't want to give too much away in the story but if you like romantic comedies you'll love this movie! There is something about their relationship in this movie, that says "I want a love like that."

Saved! (2004)

When a catholic school girl (Jenna Malone) becomes pregnant, she suddenly finds herself being ostracized and demonized from all of her former friends. This movie is quirky and fun. (Also starring Mandy Moore and Macaulay Culkin).

Waitress (2007)

Honestly what sticks out about this movie is the pie... I'm not kidding they make so many pies in this movie by the end I want to break out my pie pan and get to baking. But seriously this movie is cute. Its about Jenna (Keri Russell) a pregnant waitress from the deep south who is in an abusive marriage, when a new doctor comes to town she finds herself in an unlikely romance.

Just Friends (2005)

If you liked No Strings Attatched, then you also like Just Friends. Chris (Ryan Reynolds) returns home for Christmas, only to run into Jamie (Amy Smart) his former best friend who he was in love with. When she turned him down he turned into a womanizer and lost about 100 pounds. This movie is funny and smart and it really defined "the friend zone."

Garden State (2004)

Garden State is probably one of the more well known movies on this list. Its a cult classic and stars one of the list chick's favorite Natalie Portman. Its a great flick worth buying. Written, Directed and Staring Zach Braff. It will make you laugh, cry and really think. Check it out!

500 Days of Summer (2009)

Not to steal the opening credits but... this is not a love story, its a story about boy meets girl... It's a real offbeat romantic comedy staring Zooey Deschanel (love her!) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It tells the story about a girl who doesn't belive in love, and the boy who falls in love with her. This is also pretty popular but I still know a bunch of people who have NEVER seen it.

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

Just about NO ONE I know has heard of or seen this movie, unless they've borrowed mine! It has an all star cast and its pretty freakin fantastic! Its an existentialist comedy and that being said its pretty weird, but also pretty cool.

There are many more movies like this so we'll probably do another edition of this blog.. but for now start with these :)  As always, we'd love to hear your feedback and if you have any ideas for upcoming lists please share those with us!
