Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    Akira Kurosawa’s lesser known works. He’s most famous for films like Seven Samurai or Yojimbo, but his other films like The Bad Sleep Well are super amazing too. It’s a film noir movie with a strong anti-corporation message I bet would resonate with a lot of people here.

      The Men Who Tread On The Tiger’s Tail is really good, especially so when you find out they were making it in the final year of WWII and a had a budget of like 50 bucks.

      Even the propaganda movies like The Most Beautiful are good. You’re sort of shocked when you realize toward the end how involved you’re getting with their success.
