The best movies you've never seen?

Last year Pajiba posted a feature on "The Best Movies You've Never Seen," which features reviews of film gems that very few people saw, even though they are pretty darn good.

What makes the list even better is the suggestions from readers which follow.

I have been trying to think what I might add to the list, but have a problem in that they've already got "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." It's the adaptation of Tom Stoppard's stage play, which considers the fate of two minor characters in Hamlet. Stoppard himself directed Gary Oldman and Tim Roth in the film, and it's simply a delight.

Also on the list, "Shallow Grave" which must be one of the most believably creepy movies to ever come out of Britain, which also serves to launch Ewan McGregor and the crew that later brought us "Trainspotting."

Anyway, I now have a bunch more films to add to my 'want to see' list, (as if that was ever in danger of drying up.)

Man, I just checked out the current Chasing Windmills episode. It's a re-run and it'll look different in the summer months, but in these days of sub-zero windchills in Minneapolis St. Paul, it's downright scary.
