I've got two: Lies My Father Told Me and The Man Who Would Be King

The Man Who Would Be King is an excellent movie, though panned by some critics as being too long along with other criticisms. Still one of my favorite movies with Sean Connery and Michael Caine.

Also I saw a movie some years back about an American (maybe British, I forget) girl who was imprisoned in Thailand after a drug mule put heroine in her camera bag. It really was a good movie but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. Anybody know this movie?

It's rare to find a dvd. Even VHS is rare. This movie only played in a few theaters. Pretty much has to do with the studio going broke before distribution. Copies online range from $25 new to $3500 at Amazon.

Pretty tripped out movie. I've never seen the DVD for rent, only VHS.

Close but that movie is about two girls, the one I'm thinking of only has one girl, she does befriend another American girl in prison who was also picked up for drug smuggling (the story of the second girl is one reason this movie sticks in my mind). She is eventually able to get out prison but not by normal channels. In the end the guy who put the heroine in her camera bag is caught by the Brits or Aussies I believe as he was on their known list of international smugglers.

I don't know how obscure it is but I liked it and I don't recall it being mainstream by any means.

This really rings a bell, I think I saw some of it (like only about 15 minutes) while flipping through movie channels but I don't know that I ever even made a note of the title. Pretty girls getting set up as drug mules is a pretty common general movie idea though. Let me see if I can figure it out.

Thats crazy that Thomas Jane and Aaron Eckhart are in that together. They look like brothers and I constantly get them confused. Looks pretty good.

We Own The Night

Good movie...i'm surprised it wasn't a bigger hit.

 

[outofyourmind]

If you have never seen the "Omega Man" with Charlton Heston, it's a must watch.
