Haven't s...I think you nailed this assignment. Haven't seen a lot of these, but I recall seeing the video boxes and definitely remember you talking some of these up back in the '90s...damn, that phrase is strange to say, "back in the '90s." TRESPASS is one I didn't catch until later, but I think it's one of Walter Hill's best and definitely most underrated. It sticks out on this list as it's one of the few non-indies / non-youth films on this list. I have fond memories of seeing CROUPIER and THE DAYTRIPPERS theatrically. I really dug ZERO EFFECT when I caught it as a new VHS release...I, too, remember the tv spots. RED ROCK WEST and ONE FALSE MOVE are superior neo-noirs, I agree. <br /><br />I think I'd put Soderbergh's THE UNDERNEATH on this list as well, if I had my druthers. Had the good fortune to see the latter in a rep screening a few years after its initial release. It would make a great double bill with THE LIMEY, also, I think, an underrated '90s film. Two of Soderbergh's best.Ned Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436251586131278302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8396536519804836558.post-70352663180307526192012-03-19T15:55:09.192-07:002012-03-19T15:55:09.192-07:00thanks Bri, sweet list.

I'm so happy that "The Winslow Boy" made this list. I love the movie and I'm a huge David Mamet fan so it's always good to know I'm not alone in some of my quirkier movie choices! Another extremely enjoyable read.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650479053671634844noreply@blogger.com
