If you're a fan of avant-garde, classic, or unheralded films in general The 100 Best Films to Rent You've Never Heard Of is an excellent suggestion resource for those weekends when little in the way of interesting new releases are found. I've selected ten of my favorite selections from the book to present here:
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) [Criterion Collection]
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
The Duellists (1977)
Two-Lane Blacktop (1972) [Criterion Collection]
The Battle of Algiers (1967) [Criterion Collection]
Red River (1948)
Hard-Boiled (1992)
The Missouri Breaks (1976)
The Man Who Would Be King (1975)
Withnail & I (1987) [Criterion Collection]
As the cover declares, the book offers ninety more "hidden treasures, neglected classics, and hits from bygone eras." The bulk of the suggestions are sound and nearly all are worthy of watching. Best of all, this little tome can be had for a little over ten dollars:
