Surprising films...

This one is for that movie that you really didn't expect that much, but it surprised you in a very positive way.

My take goes to "The Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind". I really didn't know what to expect from this one, except that it had Jim Carrey in a serious role. But boy the movie was great. Great story, great story telling, great acting (Kate Winslet was simply great).

Hard Candy.

Brilliant film.

"Unleashed".....it showed that Jet Li can do emotional acting and opened up his versatility.... also some great Martial Arts thrown in as well !!!!!

"Brotherhood of the Wolf".

Expected zero, came out recommending it to all. Repeat viewings not quite so good, so I suspect my initial low expectations are what made it so enjoyable at the time. Still a great film though.

Is that one also known as "Dani the Dog" or are they different movies?

Will definitely agree with that one. Also the same applies with "The Trueman Show".

Green Street Hooligans. It starred Frodo, so I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be pretty decent.

I saw the trailer and thought it was a thrill fest of martial arts mayhem.....unbeknownst to me, the trailer showed all the martial arts in the film....2 minutes of it 🙁
