Horseplayer (1990)

This is an excellent movie that had zero promotion when it came out in the early 90s. I saw a small flyer for it at some punk/art shop and based on that alone went to see it.

"Horseplayer" is a well acted, but slight, psychological drama. Brad Dourif plays a loner who bets on the ponies by day, and works in the liquor store across the street at night.

I first thought this movie had to be one of those "shown-once-on-tv-and-never-released-rarities", because of the low number of votes here (45, not counting my own), but then to my amazement, I found out that there was actually a decent DVD out on Region 2, and of course I bought it on first sight! Then it arrived a few days later, and when I popped it in my DVD-player, I knew I was in for a treat of ultra-rareness.
