Films you haven't seen and should
Here are some films that I rated from 7 to 10 (The Red Violin and Confessions being the 10's) that have less than 20,000 imdb votes.
Take a gander and share, they are all good, and are very different from each other.
If you can, just try and watch them without reading too much about them. In my opinion that's the best way to see a film.
