10 Awesome Films You've Probably Never Seen

Postal opens with two 9/11 hijackers getting cold feet while discussing the number of virgins in the afterlife - is it exactly a hundred or less? When a call to “Sammy” establishes the figure to be twenty, the pair decide to hightail it to the Bahamas, which is when passengers break in and attempt to wrest control, crashing them into the World Trade Centre. And that’s before the opening credits.

Gleefully revelling in its own outrageousness, Postal is the ultimate litmus test for those who prefer sledgehammer satire to subtlety and nuance. The opening sequence ranks among Uwe Boll’s best work, and this is by far the funniest movie on the filmmaker’s resume, but beware because the film more than lives up to its tagline: “Some movies go too far. Others start there.”

The movie ends as we once suspected the world would, with George Bush and Osama Bin Laden walking away hand in hand while nukes rain down. Even if you don’t find that a laughing matter, you have to admit that movies featuring an American-accented Bin Laden, who won’t drink at the Grind Zero coffee chain because he’s lactose intolerant, are pretty rare.
