Favorite Obscure Movie.

[Soviet Heavy]

Name your favorite obscure movie that most people don't know about.

Mine: Erik the Viking.
Terry Jones makes a hilarious yet epic farce of Norse Mythology.

Your Turn.

 

[Dylan Voyda]

Stoned.
Once you get past the insane moralizing. It is really well done.

 

[CalabusDabus]

A clockwork orange by Stanley Kubrik... Yeah, I know not exactly a mystery to everyone, but it seems like noone I know has seen it.

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Wings of Desire

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Children of Men, Sunshine, and Brick, with the last definitely being the most obscure.

 

[Dead_Man]

Tremors. Gotta love Kevin Bacon.

 

[IBlackKiteI]

The Dark Backward. It's about a garbage man (played by Judd Nelson) who wants to be a stand up comedian but is terrible. One day he wakes up with a third arm growing out of his back, and he's convinced to use it in his act. It makes him popular, but stuff happens and life doesn't go quite how he plans.

Has ANYONE else ever seen this? Noone I've spoken to has even heard of this film except the dude who showed it to me.

Shiiiiiit I think I may have seen that.

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Think of Trainspotting with more guns and less drugs.

Fido. Well, Fido and possibly Dead Snow if only for the absurd factor.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Children of Men, Sunshine, and Brick, with the last definitely being the most obscure.

Oh, Children of Men was so good! Sunshine was great too. And yep, haven't heard of the lat one.

Fido. Well, Fido and possibly Dead Snow if only for the absurd factor.

I've seen Fido. I'm not sure if it was shown outside of Canada.

 

[Marter]

Ooh, here are ones that I mention IRL, and nobody knows what I'm talking about. :/

Pink Floyd's The Wall

Everyone knows the album, or at least Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. However, not a lot of people know that they made a movie out of it, and that it's incredible.

It's very surreal, and with its use of images and music to tell the story rather than dialogue, it isn't for everyone, but I love it wholeheartedly.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Everything David Cronenberg has ever made. Especially Videodrome.

Aye, it's an amazing movie, although some parts are slightly fucked up. I'll second this notion, though.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
Brick
Oldboy

 

[smearyllama]

Heavy Metal and Fritz the Cat come to mind.

Seriously, I have yet to come across anyone off the internet that has heard of these. :/

I know about Heavy Metal. Hell, MovieBob did a review of it, too.

 

[subject_87]

Moon: an indie sci-fi movie (apparently that's possible) that's well-paced, really gets into your head, and is probably the closest thing we'll get to Portal: The Movie.

 

[Epic_Mushroom]

'Lock, stock and two smoking barrels' and 'Revolver', both of Guy Ritchie.
Also, 'Old Boy', for the sheer twistedness of it.

Glad to know I'm not alone.

For everyone else, here is a small sample of the film.


Enjoy.
