"The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it."-Oscar Wilde

"Being There" is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Sellers died not long after making it, and it was his last film. He was handed a shit deal when he didn't get the Academy Award for Best Actor (as are many).

------

Batou, the only other movie I can think of right now that many have never seen/heard of before is this:

"The Trip" It is an older movie starring Peter Fonda in one of his very first performances. Although he has gotten better, he (apparently) couldn't act worth a shit back then, and it kind of takes from the picture. ...And get this: it was written by none other than Jack Nicholson. Yes, that's right, he used to be a heavy LSD user. He did some crazy self-exploration involving a blindfold and "heroic" doses of LSD back in the 60's and 70's, and apparently fell in love with the drug. He wrote this movie, Fonda found it brilliant, and after Dennis Hopper joined the project, they made the film with the help of Roger Corman. They later went on to do "Easy Rider" (an amazing cult classic - if you haven't seen it, Go To Blockbuster Right Now).

Remember the scene in "Easy Rider" when the three travelers are sitting around a campfire and Jack Nicholson's character indulges in his first-ever joint? Well, that was filmed after the three enjoyed 105 real joints of Mexican grass. Damn cool little bit of information, huh? Least I think so...

I'll try to come up with more "undiscovered" movies, but, by all means, if anyone else has any, please share.
