Why is No-One Talking About these Movies?

27/6/2021

0 Comments

 
It's no secret that everyone loves a big block bluster movie or even a sleeper hit or some kind of movie that is mainstream and easy and people have heard about it through word of mouth. These types of films can be great and I cannot deny that I really adore it when a movie becomes a sleeper hit in particular. However, there are so many fabulous movies that just slip thought the cracks of people's viewing and get missed all together because not enough people are talking about them.
Well, I am talking about them, constantly! More than likely annoyingly to a lot of people. I would recommend movies to people at last a dozen or more times a week and often people will say things to me like "I haven't even heard of that movie" or "Really? I thought that film looked a bit weird/ strange/ arty / scary for me to see." And it honestly kills me because a huge number of movies that never get seen are absolutely gold, some of the best and they not only deserve to be talked about,  they most definitely deserve to be seen as well.  
Below I have listed my top 10 'You Really Should Be Talking About This Film - and Probably Will Be After You Watch it' for each genre on Spicywatch.com. These are films that are very deserving of your time and attention and in my opinion (for what it's worth) definitely should've gotten a lot more attention than they did. They are not block busters or sleeper hits, they are mostly films that flew under the radar, which means that you could easily have missed them but you really shouldn't have. They are not new, in fact many are old and could probably be streamed on many different platforms for free these days. 
Full reviews can be found on the genre lists should you require more information.
Happy viewing!

JUNGLE
Release Date: 2017
Rating: M
Running Time: 115 mins 

A biographical survival drama based on the true story of Israeli adventurer Yossi Ghinsberg's 1981 journey into the Amazon forest. Directed by Greg McLean and written by Justin Monjo, Jungle offers a gripping and terrifying depiction of one man's struggle against the elements and the wilds of the Amazon. 
During his trekking adventures, Yossi finds himself in La Paz, Bolivia where he hooks up with two adventurous friends. Yossi has a conversation with an Austrian traveller who claims to know the whereabouts of an indigenous tribe in the jungle and entices Yossi and his friends to join him on a trek into the forest to find them. After a series of events, the group divides and Yossi takes to the river with his friend Kevin in an attempt to escape the jungle. However when their raft capsizes on the rapids and the men become separated, it soon becomes  fight for survival for Yossi as he tries to find his way back to civilisation. 
Daniel Radcliffe is delivering some of his best work here as Yossi, proving that he is maturing and developing into a reputable and diverse actor. Personally, I thought that Jungle was a genuinely interesting and intriguing movie, especially given the outcomes and if you are in to survival/biographical dramas, I can honestly say that this is definitely one of the better ones. 
FINAL SAY: I told my parents that I'd be back in a year, but I don't think that I'm ever going back.
