Great movie.
Also, i am sure a lot of people know about "Raising Arizona" with Nic Cage but it is a great movie, one of his first ones.
The former (Kingdom of heaven) is a good movie.
The latter, I don't see how anyone doesn't know. Raising Arizona is easily one of the 20 best movies ever made. Like Rocker said, the cinematography in some parts was amazing for its time, acting was solid, music was good. Probably the Coen Bros. best film

I guess it must be the timing why some don't know about KOH. I thought the cinematics, music, giant war scenes, history of Jerusalem and all of this made it a great movie. Not even mentioning the acting of Bloom and Neeson. I honestly find it to be Bloom's best performance by far.
Plus it shines a light on when Muslim's had great honor. I am sure there are many that still do but it has not been on display much.
Must be the touchy subject that some do not like to approach which is another reason i loved the movie.
This is a good thread. I am so old that many times these "lesser known" lists are just old movies that i already know about. But there are some interesting titles being mentioned here that I are completely new to me.
After Hours is a 1985 American black comedy filmdirected by Martin Scorsese, written by Joseph Minion, and starring an ensemble cast, including Rosanna Arquette, Griffin Dunne, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, and John Heard. Paul Hackett (Dunne) experiences a series of misadventures as he tries to make his way home from SoHo.
Very funny movie.
I saw that a few years back. Another sleeper NYC hit was "Hanging with the Homeboys".
Yellowbeard, a pirate's pirate, is allowed to escape from prison to lead the authorities to his treasure. He finds that his wife neglected to tell him that he now has a son, 20, and shame of shame, an intellectual. The British Navy, Yellowbeard, his son, and members of Yellowbeard's old crew all go after the treasure.

One thing about the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" is where did Saladin get the wood for the Seige Towers, Trebuchets and Catapults?
There is no way he got the wood from anywhere around Jerusalem since there isn't any and he didn't bring the wood from Damascus or Lebanon or build the Seige Weapons and transport them. If I remember correctly, Richard the Lion Heart had only one monster Trebuchet that he used to lay seige of Jerusalem during the Third Crusade and it was a big deal because he had to transport the wood to build it.
It is a good movie though, a really good movie and Orlando Blooms best in my opinion.
