Favorite "Obscure" Movie.

[J3llo]

Im not a hipster, im a snob, but i see so many posters who doesnt know the difference between obscure and underrated.
I think ill tell you both

My fav underrated movies are

Rob Zombie's Halloween, i think if you let the fact that its a reemake, its really good.

Defendor, so much f*cking better than Kick ass, I much rather watch a mentally handicapped Woody Haroldson fight crimes than a obnoxious little twat, all though i got to give credit to Kick Ass for setting Nic Cage on fire (oops spoiler, now go see defendor)

Now the rather obscure movies i like

Peter Jacksson's Meet the feebles, its like south park meets the muppets

Blair witch 2, I dont know what they thought when they decided to make it a regular live action movie. the movie is just one of those hilariously bad movies, but i dont understand why i enyoy it cause the original blair witch is my favourite horror movie of all time.

But i got to take one thing while i am on the subject, there is something that really puzzles me, i have several times seen the blair witch as a action figure, but the strange thing is that neither of the movies shows the witch, but i know there is an pc game of blair witch, whats up with that.

sorry if my engrish is failing at some parts

Chapter 27 is one of my favorite movies of all time. Jared Leto (Frontman for 30secondstomars and co-star of Fight Club) plays the man who murdered John Lennon and presents a VERY neat look into the mind of a crazed person. Tough to find a copy of (at least here in the US) but worth a watch.

Isn't that the live-action of Higurashi?
I'm told it's fucking horrible :|

I don't think so. It's a traditional animated <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirited_Away>film from 2001, it's like the Best Selling Japanese film of all time but over here it's just a blip. Other than people who REALLY REALLY keep up with Oscars (since it won Animated Best Picture that year) nobody Stateside knows about it (or I've yet to meet someone who has)

The would probably have to be Dark City ... Most people I know have never even heard of it.

Repo! The Genetic Opera
Crossworlds
Mean Guns (OMG THIS MOVIE IS AWESOMEEEEEEEE)

Umm yea thats about it. Mean Guns has Ice-T in it! I'm pretty sure no one likes that movie, but I love it. And I doubt many people saw it.

 

[raklin]

The Testament of Dr. Mabuse.

Very old movie, (1933) but i rather enjoyed it. Available on netflix.

Great if you like classics, but if you're of the OMG NEED EXPLOSHUNS AND SPECIAL EFFECTS OR THE MOVIES BOOOOORING mindset, I'd say do us all a favor and don't bother


EDIT:

Repo! The Genetic Opera
Crossworlds
Mean Guns (OMG THIS MOVIE IS AWESOMEEEEEEEE)

Umm yea thats about it. Mean Guns has Ice-T in it! I'm pretty sure no one likes that movie, but I love it. And I doubt many people saw it.

Repo! The Genetic Opera is just downright awesome condensed into film form. If you're worried about quality - This was made by the guys who made the saw series

I'm taking obscure as "Extremely bizzare" instead of "Mostly unheard of". Do you know why? Because it's the most unnatural, obscure, macabre thing I've ever seen:

Now, I'm not kidding anyone: I'm a weird person. I have a weird (and moderately dark) sense of humor, I draw weird pictures, I write weird stories, and sometimes, at random points in the day, I'll suddenly envision an entire scenario that could occur featuring very strange events. I refuse to describe these events, as you'd probably feel inclined to get me institutionalized.
However, I was taken aback by this film. It was so... bizzare. by the end, I was literally screaming "WHAT THE HELL!?" every few seconds. It's something one must experience themselves, and it's streaming on Netflix. If you're curious and not easily disturbed, watch it.

Are you familiar with the work of Franz Kafka?

The name is slightly familiar, but I'm afraid I'm not.

Eraserhead

Was gonna pick that one too, for it's sheer WTF value.

Other favourites include Bicycle Thieves, an Italian neo-realist film made in 1948 which I somehow found incredibly captivating, and Clerks for it's awesome dialogue.

 

[robinkom]

For me, it's Linda Blair's 1984 comeback movie, Savage Streets. I'd say it's pretty obscure these days. A good old-fashioned 80s exploitation/revenge flick with a bitchin' soundtrack.

 

[WouldYouKindly]

I really don't know what qualifies as obscure. I've got some cult classics I like. Green Street Hooligans even though it's mostly just a Fight Club knock off.

 

[Hermia]

I would have to choose Lo. Its a very low budget film that somehow manages to create a comedic "horror" love story. The makeup and soundtrack are actually very good considering how low budget it is.

It also pays homage to classic theatre, which I love.

 

[Jakub324]

Franklyn, because I know that one's obscure. I don't know how obscure these are, but: Unthinkable, a story about the torture of a terror suspect, and Outlander, a film about a member of an extrasolar soldier who crashlands in Vikng era Norway.

 

[MacCleric]

Not sure if it was mentioned or not...but Equilibrium is very good. Also the british movie Exam.

 

[MajWound]

The Wind that Shakes the Barley- a tight-as-balls story about the Irish civil war
Moon- a guy lives on the moon and learns the horrifying secret about why he's there
Chaos Theory- Ryan Reynolds' life is destroyed so he decides to let chance dictate his every action
Sunshine- a team of scientists fly a spaceship to the sun to jump-start it with a bomb the size of Manhattan

Outstanding list, I've seen them all apart from Chaos Theory.

Moon and Wind that Shakes the Barley are personal favourites.

Those are just the ones I had on me. Another good one is Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.

 

[barash]

Very few people I know have ever seen or heard of Pathfinder... Might not be obscure enough for you, but it was an enjoyable enough action-adventure with vikings vs american indians

It's a remake of a Norwegian movie about the indigenous people of northern Norway around 1000AD, and as usual the American remake is pure crap in comparison. So, if you liked the Pathfinder of 2007, you should effin Love the Pathfinder of 1987

 

[Bagged Milk]

WTF form is annoying, disreguard this

 

[Bagged Milk]

That's a tough question seeing as most of my favorite movies are generally popular. I guess I'll go with Fantastic Mr. Fox. I don't know if the internet knows about it, but everyone I know doesn't know about it.

That's a tough question seeing as most of my favorite movies are generally popular. I guess I'll go with Fantastic Mr. Fox. I don't know if the internet knows about it, but everyone I know doesn't know about it.

I like it because it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The humor is extremely dry though, so it's not for everyone.

Awesome movie, the close ups on the faces were creepy though

I guess, most recently, poultrygeist is my favorite obscure movie. I don't know how to explain it, although it is EXTREMELY profane. I wouldn't recommend watching this after eating.

Do you mean Poltergeist?

nope http://www.poultrygeistmovie.com/

 

[mynameisphil]

The Lookout. It's a great sorta-heist film with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels. Check it out.

 

[Platypus540]

Donny Darko. Holy crap that movie was fantastic. Seriously, it was the:
BEST
DAMN
MOVIE
EVER.
Watch it, or you will never have seen a truly great movie.
It's all about time travel and psychological stuff. It's really confusing, but as long as you pay close attention to every character and detail, you can make it through.

Let's see...
Young Einstein [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096486/] - An alternate history tale of the early days of Einstein, involving a pie made of kittens, a romance with Marie Curie, and diffusing a bomb with the power of ROCK.
The Last Dragon [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089461/] - A "blacksploitation" kung fu movie. It's too absurd to really describe, so I'm just going to say, "Who's the master?!"
