Oh man, Doomsday, now that was some B-movie excellence, you got Bob Hoskins and Malcolm McDowell in a Mad Max-esque future...filled with Scottish goths. The randomness of it is just great.Marter said:

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've seen a few movies that noone I know has seen:
The Blues Brothers (one class at school saw it when it was brought in by a pupil and chosen)
The Princess Bride, noone had heard of it before I mentioned it
Dead snow, noone had seen it

Bible Black. It seems to be relatively obscure and unheard of.
But seriously, 2:37 seems to be pretty obscure in my experience. I don't think I've ever actually talked to anyone that has seen it before.

Ya know the original creator of Fritz hated the movie so much he killed off the character of Fritz the cat.

Does Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas count?
Also, Freddy Got Fingered.
It's so bad that it's bad that it's good!

Ok, ya done it now -
Cube - one of those great movies that doesn't spoonfeed you all the plot, even as the credits roll. Some people wake up in a square room, realising it's connected to a lot of very similar rooms, then finding some have really nasty traps built in.
While it's not a horror movie, it also has one of the most memorable death scenes I've seen, I seem to rememberit cost over half the budget.
Cube Zero - while the sequel was pretty poor, Cube Zero pulls off the master stroke of going behind the scenes, showing those who 'run' the cube, making it work, yet still managing to leave so much unanswered, and possibly an even more evil set of traps.
Fermat's Room - worth trying if you like Cube or Saw, tho it's spanish with subtitles. $ mathematicians are called to a house, and end up locked in a room, (I'm not giving much away, the damn cover of the dvd has the worst spoilers since 'Planet of the apes', seriously? Statue of Liberty, on the cover?) then they're given riddles to solve, and a minute to do them, then the walls start to close in.
Idiocracy - not that obscure, but not nearly enough people have seen it. An average guy gets frozen and wakes up 500 years later, and the world's IQ has gone down the toilet, making him the smartest man alive. Just a genuinely funny movie.
Kung Pow - by the maker of 'Thumb Wars', he puts himself as the star of a martial arts movie, using camera tricks and editing about half a dozen old fight movies together then redubbing them. Funny as hell, if a bit dumb.
Yellowbeard - a little known pirate based comedy featuring most of Monty Python and a wealth of other top rank comic talent from the time. Features Marty Feldman trying to smuggle women onboard ship inside a hollowed out crocodile, saying he wanted a pet.
The Ref/Hostile Hostages - The xmas movie, as far as I care. Denis Leary is a burglar, hiding from the cops in Kevin Spacey's family home. Sadly Kevin Spacey's family is dysfunctional as all hell. Fun, but not as dark as you'd imagine, but not sappy like most xmas fare.
Clerks or Office Space - both highly recommended if you've ever had a job
Cypher - great sci fi movie about corporate secrecy, by the guy who made Cube.
Nothing - a pair of arguing flat mates discover they can wish stuff they don't like away.
Again I could go on and on, but I gotta stop somewhere.

A lot of movies I've enjoyed are only obscure due to the fact that they are foreign, and the list would go on for days. For not so foreign obscurities I'd say
Choke - Based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same title. Book is infinitely better, but the movie is still great.
Idiocracy - Not that obscure, though no one I've run into has seen it. Brilliant prediction for the future of humanity.
The Onion Movie - Again not quite obscure, hilarious at times.
Most other movies I have considered obscure have already been listed, thereby removing them from obscurity?

I second
Dead Leaves - high paced brilliant over the top anime
Primer - Genius script and it shows that anyone can make an entertaining movie, I think the budget was $7000,- or something like that
Eraser - especially the usage of sound makes this an enjoyable nightmarish trip
Bubba Ho Tep - When the are they going to start film Bubba Nosferatu
Was surprised to actually see Surf nazis must die mentioned here, for a long time I regarded that as one of the worst movies ever. Maybe if I can see it again I can laugh about it.
Weird noone has mentioned Harmony Korine, I think Kids sucks however Gummo is a must see as is Julien Donkey Boy. 2 Of my favourite movies
Also C'est arrivé prés de chez vous (known as man bites dog) its a film about a low budget documentary team following a serial killer and filming his exploits, highly recommended.
And for fun and for the sole reason that you can say that you have watched it : Gayniggers from Outer Space
It even has an IMDB entry
