Couldn't resist posting on this topic. Don't post often but a great sleeper horror flick is (Gravedancers) pretty good flick. Bill Paxton is a good sleeper as an actor (plays in lots of movies). Billy Bob Thornton is pretty mulit-dimensional as well. Fingerprints with Lou Diamond Phillips is pretty good ghost/horror flick as well. Young Guns,Tombstone,Dances with Wolves are all movies along with Lonesome Dove I have to watch occasionally.

I forgot this one, "Little Big Man", Dustin Hoffman, Chief Dan George Fantasy about a man who really existed in the time of Custer and the Little Big Horn masacre. One of the best although it never received much acclaim. Monty

Second Hand Lions was a darned good flick- those two old farts reminded me of me, lol! Haven't traveled near as much, but I'm always sticking my nose in the next big adventure- ;D


Great flick- highly recommended!

Thanks, to Cruisin.

He bumped this thread up to current... gosh, it goes back to 06!

Nice to remember many of those titles I haven't even thought of in a while.

Thanks to all!

I collect movies. My favorite sleeper movies? First two that comes to mind are: "Enemy Of The State" & "Last Kiss Before Midnight"! Both are really great hot action movies! You won't be reading a book! :icon_study:

Yah, Stalag 17 IS a classic.

I like Bridge on the River Kwai just as well.

Ha! Eddie and the Cruisers... Michael Pare fans... ;D
He was also good in Philadelphia Experiment.

He never really made it big, did he...

Y'all like old sleeper movies, I think it was Ed Herman in Harry's War...
Just a down home great fun tax protest movie!
(It's an American tradition, y'know!)
Button! Is that you, Button?
