Your Favourite Thing No One's Heard Of

[ProfessorLayton]

The Beatles.

No one has ever heard of Powerman 5000, which sucks because they're an amazing band.

 

[plastic_window]

The old British comedy series "Fawlty Towers" and the movie "Brazil" and the musician Mike Patton (He was in about six bands I think and they're all good).

EDIT: Clip from Fawlty Towers.

Fawlty Towers is amazing. Never heard of Brazil.

Here you go, nice little trailer:

It's written and directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python, he was the animator if you don't know.

I loved Brazil, although the ending felt a little cheap in my opinion.

Gilliam's films are all pretty good - or at least, the ones I've watched are brilliant. Twelve Monkeys, in particular. It's one of my all-time favourite films.

There was this TV show called X-Fire I loved back when I was a kid, and South Central are a kickarse band no one has heard of.

Oh man i loved xfire....it only did one season, too expensive i think. was on sky1 i think. thanks for reminding me of it.

I love a band named the Fratellis which apparently no ones ever heard of and I love a game called heroclix which no one has ever played.

I think they might be Scottish. But yeah I thought they were quite big - they had a few singles in the charts last year or so and everyone I know seems to have heard of them...

OT: I'm currently quite addicted to a game called Armageddon Empires that no-one seems to know about. That and my all time favourite Planescape: Torment.

 

[RanD00M]

Soilwork

Is soilwork unknown?

 

[Saboonatic]

A band I'm really into atm that barely anyone has heard of is Killing Joke a brilliant old punk band. Look em up.

 

[Harlemura]

Hogs of War. It was a game for PS1 and (I think) PC. It was a bit like Worms, only way better.

The facts are a little shakey on this one, but I think there was a spin-off of Dangermouse called Count Duckula. That was one weird cartoon, but I loved it when I was a kid.
I might still love it, I haven't seen it in years.

Yep they're Scottish. From Glasgow.

Anyone heard of Poets of the Fall? Finnish (I think, might be Swedish)Rock Group that are amazing

I love a band named the Fratellis which apparently no ones ever heard of and I love a game called heroclix which no one has ever played.

Eh? Everyone's heard of the Fratellis. At least in the UK anyway. To the point that if they play Chelsea Dagger in a club (and they do often) people can recite the tune. And some people can quote the lyrics as well.

I loved X-Fire. It was epic. I loved the War of the Worlds RTS but i am the only person i have ever met who even knew it existed

There are loads of X-Fire episodes on Youtube. They're poor quality generally but they're still worth watching.

An old game called freedom Fighters, A guy called wiz khalifa and another called Wale but, the second has a song on radio now but, the song that they chose for the radio had to be the suckiest one he made

The servers are down and the forums got like 4chan so the game's creator (Vult-R) temporarily shut them down. I love this game with a passion and I really miss it. I know it looks like it sucks but it has a special place in my sullen little heart.

Spectre - old FPS game back in the early 90s.

Lucifer Rising by Jimmy Page.

 

[AvsJoe]

A movie called 'How to Rob a Bank [sup]and 10 tips to get away with it[/sup]'. It stars Nick Stahl (T3, Sin City), Erika Christiansen (Flightplan, The Perfect Score), Terry Crews (My Name is Chris, Get Smart), and Gavin Rossdale (the singer), as well as a surprise extended cameo by another celebrity that I'm not going to mention. Critics were all over the place on this movie so I've deduced that this movie either speaks to you or it doesn't. It certainly spoke to me and I find it incredibly hilarious.

I think we all have them: Favourite Movies, Music, Games, Shows, Brands of Unicycle, that no one else seems to have heard of. Share yours. I'll start us off;

Earlier this summer I saw "Moon". It was quite a low-budget movie, about a man who works on the moon for three years providing the Earth with energy, his only company up there being a robot named GERTY. The movie was absolutely fantastic, and I just loved it. Unfortunately, I think I might just be the only one I know who has heard of it. I think in total it's made about 1.1 Million, which is not so much as far as movies go. What a shame.

So tell me internet, what's something awesome that no one else has heard of?

You're not alone in seeing Moon, I dragged two of my friends to see Moon when it was out. It was quite good, and Sam Rockwell was great, as always.

Something no one's ever heard of? The original Zatoichi movies, not the more recent remake. Probably the second one was my favorite.

 

[Brown Cap]

Some of my favorite bands!

The Wallflowers, Adam Hood, Down By Law, and Jack Johnson (come on, if he wasnt on that iPhone commercial you would have never heard of Jack)

Powerman 5000 is good and the spiders on drugs were funny.
