10 Amazing Movies You Probably Haven't Seen (And Why)

Why You Probably Haven't Seen It: If you're wondering why the name doesn't ring a bell despite coming out just a few years ago, it's because everything about its promotion - the non-descript poster, the ultra vague trailer, the sardonic tagline - is enough to make your eyes roll back into your head out of sheer boredom.

Try reading this brief summary without falling asleep at your computer:

Speaking of which, this movie features Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Simon Baker, Zachary Quinto, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, and Mary McDonnell. And you still haven't seen it.
