Sixtyg's Top 150: My Personal Favourites
114 titles |
Public
This is not a list of the greatest movies ever made (although some are) but my own personal favourites, some watched many times over the years, others maybe only seen a couple of times but have made an impression (not in any order)
Obscure and smaller wars depicted in film
100 titles |
Public
Some of the worlds lesser known wars/conflicts depicted in film, obviously depending on where you live some listed would not be described as obscure conflicts but more of a general sense as the movie industry tends to focus on specific areas in history.
Overlooked, underrated, obscure movies and Hidden Gems (part 1)
569 titles |
Public
A list of some of the overlooked, forgotten, neglected, more obscure and underrated movies I've seen over the years, some have ended up as my favourite movies, others have stuck in my mind for one reason or another. (ongoing)
This is not a list that simply consists of films with very few ratings on IMDB, I have watched all the films on this list, comments have been added to some from a previous movie log I had and some have been added from memory, others added on new listings.
So what constitutes overlooked, underrated or obscure? most on this list do not have a rating that is below 6.0 so therefore maybe not underrated in terms of IMDB stats if you use that as your only measure, a lot have somewhere around 1500 ratings including many by notable directors which I would say is overlooked or perhaps are not really known outside of their country of origin, or simply good films that I think should have been viewed more and finally films with less than 500 ratings which I would certainly call obscure on a site that has 83m registered users.
Note: I have added to some entries that they were available on youtube at the time of writing, by that I mean they were free as opposed to the youtube movie pay to view service.
List continues in Part 2...

WWII - The German experience
97 titles |
Public
Mostly German produced WWII movies including "Rubble cinema" post war German films usually only reflecting on the war but filmed in the ruins of Berlin. Also included US/UK productions depicting the German viewpoint, the best of which in my opinion is probably "The one that got away" not least because of Kruger and the fact he actually spent a short time as a POW, Robert Altman's "Ten seconds to hell" is worth a look for the ruined Berlin locations and "A time to love and a time to die" visually stunning, sympathetic and some beautiful cinematography.
Not included are the numerous movies which depict both sides ie "The longest day" "Battle of the bulge" etc. and some which didn't quite make the grade in my opinion such as a couple of "macaroni combat" movies and "The eagle has landed"
Obscure Medieval movies
141 titles |
Public
As per the title no Braveheart, Ivanhoe, Mongol, etc but less known more obscure medieval stuff not including high fantasy or wuxia style. Although I'm not personally recommending everything on the list you might find something of interest here.
