When people look back on the early years of the new millennium they'll remember it for movies like The Dark Knight and Lord of the Rings.
Or they'll geek out with their friends about the cult classics they
discovered together, rewatching copies of the original version of Donnie Darko or spreading around copies of Idiocracy and laughing at its accuracy. Or we'll remember the prestige movies, the big Oscar winners like No Country For Old Men and Chicago.
But in a better world, maybe we'd remember these movies. These are the
other guys, the great films you missed through circumstance or
stupidity, through studio stumbling or simply bad timing.
