Are there any movies that you think should get more attention than they actually do? This is just on movies that are considered bad and you like but also movies that are just forgotten but you think need their spotlight. A movie no one really talks about but you think you hold to your heart.
Octobersky (1999) -This is about the real story of Homer Hickam and the Rocketboys as they were called. Homer lived in the small town of Coalwood, West Virginia where most of the men worked in a mineshaft, including his father. His dad expected Homer to work there as well. After Sputnik is launched Homer gets interested by it and wants to go into that work. He and some friends start building rockets much to the dismay of Homers father and some others in town. This is a fantastic movie. Everyone plays their parts well and it makes you root for Homer. They did sort of make his father more villain like in this, but that was needed for the drama. There were also six robot boys rather than four, they probably thought six was too much so they combined some of them. I think this movie is getting some more attention but it's not a household name.
Yesterday (2019) - Jack is a failing musician trying to make it big. His friend Eve is his biggest supporter and best friend since they were children. After a worldwide blackout Jack wakes up to find the world no longer remembers the Beatles. All their songs, history, and everything about them is gone. Other things like Coca Cola and cigarettes' are also gone. Jack cashes in on this and becomes a huge hit, though his fame hurts his relationship with Eve and he starts to feel guilty about taking art that isn't his. It's a cute love story and a neat way to show what the world would be like. The biggest problem is that is doesn't explore it enough. We never see most of the Beatles, we never know how many other bands or movements went in history, we don't know how many people actually remember the Beatles as Jack isn't the only one. It's also ben done before, but it's still a fun movie with a lot of good Beatles songs.
Disturbia (2007) Kale is a teen who lost his father in a horrible accident. After punching his teacher he is put under house arrest for a few months. He soon starts to grow board and takes up spying on his neighbors. At first it's all fun and games but he soon starts to see his neighbor Robert is father creepy. When he sees Roberts car matches that of a supposed killer he starts to suspect his neighbor might be a serial killer. Say what you want about Shia but I like this movie. It's not scary but it has creepy moments. It's something that makes you think if your neighbors are as innocent as they look.
I made a video a few years back on this, actually.
