Less known movies worth watching.
A list of movies that aren't specifically well known that are worth watching, all of these i've rated at least 6/10 I tried to leave any 10/10's out as they are on my movies I gave 10/10 list (but 1 is on there just because I really really like it.) I tried to stick to movies under 5k votes, but some go over WAY OVER, and some movies are for kids, some are for adults, some for the whole family, a lot of documentaries (as they tend to not make it out the film festival circuit), drama, comedy, horror, cartoons, and "art films". I just think these are all worth a look, who knows they might some of your favorite movies of all time, just no one told you about them yet.
