Favorite Obscure Movie.

[Lem0nade Inlay]

The Room From Tommy Wiseau

"YOUR TEARING ME APART LISA!"
"HAI DOGGY!"
"oh hai Mark"

such a quoteably horrible movie.

"You're my favourite customer!"

Oh man, that movie makes me cringe just thinking about it.

"YOUA TEARWIN ME APART LISA!"

OP: Umm, Donnie Darko? I know it's hardly obscure, but I know hardly anyone in real life who knows about it. Incidentally it's my equal favourite movie of all time.

I'm not sure it's that obscure, but most people have never heard of Groundhog Day. It's one of my favourite movies of all time, incredibly funny and incredibly clever.

Also, Moon.

Blessed (2008), I'll be very surprised if anyone else here has seen that film.

 

[Addicted Muffin]

Evil dead, Evil dead 2, Army of darkness....you know what...pretty much anything Bruce Campbell made...

oh and also Little shop of horrors and rocky horror picture show

Figured I'd update my list with a couple of trailers and lists, having gone back to see Yellowbeard and still finding it funny, it's like a mix of Life of Brian (as a pirate) and a carry on film.

It also features Peter Cook, Cheech and Chong, and a cameo appearance by David Bowie, as a shark.

The Man from Earth. Or, Ikiru or Dreams (both Kurosawa films).

I think I've seen every 'obscure' film listed in this topic (from the terrible 'Maximum Overdrive', to excellent 'Stalker', and the good 'The Host'). But your picks are three of the better ones listed here. 'Ikiru' is one of the best films ever made and while 'Man from Earth' has no budget, is pretty poorly directed and the acting is unremarkable, it was an interesting and thought provoking script (like 'Primer'). 'Dreams' is a little inconsistent but some of the sequences haunt your memory for years. ('Red Beard' is the perfection of Kurosawa's humanist message).

If you liked 'Ikiru' I strongly recommend you watch the Human Condition trilogy, especially 'Human Condition I : No Greater Love' (1959).

Rubber.

Absolutely hilarious movie based upon a psychokinetic, serial killing, rubber tire. It's possibly the most absurd and most fantastic thing I have ever seen.

The City of Lost Children [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112682/]
Visually amazing when it came out, Pan's Labyrinth kind of reminded me of it visually, and it has an interesting story as well.

I wasn't so sure about City of Lost Children the first time around, but I've been meaning to watch it again. Now that I'm on break, I guess I don't have much of an excuse XD

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

 

[Drakmeire]

Cemetery Man/Dellamorte Dellamore an Awesome Italian horror/comedy/physiological zombie movie that leaves you laughing but still questioning reality.
And the grim reaper in the movie looks really cool.

This is one that most nerds have heard of, but few have actually watched. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking about the Star Wars Christmas Special. So, so bad... writhing in fandom pain... hayden christiansen... AAAGH! -wakes up in cold sweat- just a dream...

Tagline; Lived any good books lately?

Such a great movie. Really great acting on Sam Neil's part.

There are many movies mentioned here that makes me wanna see them. makes a list.

Anyone here seen Night of the creeps (can hardly find anyone who seen this).

 

[Geekosaurus]

It seems like very few people have seen Layer Cake. I'll give you a little run-down of it: it's awesome.

 

[dfcrackhead]

Tremors. Gotta love Kevin Bacon.

I LOVED The tremors movies, I have all 4 on DVD.

Also, I don't know about a favorite "obscure" movie, but Choke was pretty decent and I don't know anyone who has seen it.

I'm a big fan of a Polish war movie called Kanal, and if you can get your hands on a copy, I highly recommend it. It was shot in the ruins of Warsaw and is about the Warsaw resistance being surrounded by the Germans and the only way out of the city is through the sewers. It's like if Saving Private Ryan had Alien's claustrophobic horror going on. It's really, really intense, and everyone I've shown it to has loved it.

Cube - sci fi movie where a bunch of strangers work together to escape a cube, made of rooms some with deadly traps.
Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood - comdey parodying boys n the hood starring the Wayan brothers (Scary Movie 1 and 2).

 

[Fridge]

I can never remember the name of it but it was made by Salivdor Dali, its really hard to get hold of a actual copy of it (thats not a ripped dvd).

 

[-Samurai-]

Crows Zero and Crows Zero 2.

Two of the greatest movies I've ever seen. They're Japanese movies loosely based on a manga about a school that kids go to only to fight each other and be the first person to rule the school. Alliances are forged, people betray others, and awesome fights ensue.

The second movie introduces a rival school and the violent and ugly history between.

Also, The Good, The Bad, The Weird. I think it's Korean. It's a funny/action packed, goofy movie with plenty of scenes that are so awesome they make you laugh.

GO WATCH THEM NOW!

Master of Disguise. F*cking hilarious movie and the critics can go to heck.

Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club?

That's the one! *glee*

I don't think the star wars christmas special would be a favourite in anyone's book.
