10 Little-Known Movies That You Must Watch In 2015

2. Son Of Rambow

Son of Rambow is a small scale, intimate film that feels quintessentially English, but with a healthy dose of American pop culture thrown in. It's the story of a prepubescent boy from a strict religious family who is kind of an outcast, until his love of Rambo leads to an unlikely friendship between him and one of the biggest troublemakers at school. With their limited 80s technology, they set out to remake First Blood, starring the scrawniest and most adorable English Rambo ever. Both of the kids in this film have gone on to greater success in Hollywood, with Bill Milner playing the teen version of Magneto in X-Men: First Class, and Will Poulter starring in a number of high-profile projects, including last year's We're the Millers with Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston. You might like Son of Rambow if: you like whimsically nostalgic coming of age stories like Gregory's Girl or About a Boy.
