Little known movies with celebrity names in them

Quote :

How about Suck, the vampire movie with Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Alex Lifeson and Henry Rollins? Not a great film, but a lot of fun regardless.

I had no expectations for that movie and came away loving it. The homages to iconic music pictures was great and Moby practically stole the movie with his scenes. The others were great too.

Lots of really BAD movies being recommended here, I'm sure there are a few good ones out there as well.

Okay then, Bjork in 'Dancer in the Dark' First ten minutes I thought that it might be one of the worst acting performances I had seen, but as ever she turns out to be brilliant!

How about Jack Nicholson as the pain-loving dental patient in the original Little Shop Of Horrors.

Aren't both of these movies household names? Maybe I'm too much of a movie buff. But Little Shop of Horrors was so popular they even remade it.

Kelly Preston in MetalStorm : The Destruction Of Jared-Syn. I actually saw that in theaters several times.

I interpreted this thread as working both ways; little known movies with stars in them and known movies with unknown (at the time) stars in them. Especially after SD complained about not listing any "good" movies. By definition, very few "little known" movies are going to be good; hence the reason they are "little known". Even less likely if an established star is in one.

Yeah, you got me there

I suppose that I always think of Von Trier films as being 'outside of the mainstream' but that one in particular was a big film (what with the Palme D'Or and all)

I still think it's a stretch to call it 'a household name' depends on your household I suppose.

Anyway it was a great performance from the future Mrs Boris!

Richard Moll aka Bull from Night Court, is also in that film
