Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde [http://youtu.be/Hte7R1TVgBY] (1971). No, not a comedy - a horror film. And yes, it's as bad as it sounds. I love old Hammer productions.
Would you call him obscure, anyway? I thought he was pretty famous after Dune and Twin Peaks.
I agree. Well, on Mullholland Dr. at least. I haven't seen Blue Velvet, I couldn't stomach Inland Empire and Eraserhead was just painful.AgentNein said:

Yeah, obscure's debatable. With that said, asking anyone about Dune or Twin Peaks these days and it almost guaruntees lots of "huh?"s. And as arguably popular as Twin Peaks was, or as high profile as Dune was, I don't think they drew TOO much light to his other movies.plugav said:
Man bites Dog. It's a brilliant satire, dark comedy, and horrifying movie. It's a mocumentary wherein a crew of Filmmakers follow a serial killer, recording his actions & getting to know him. The main character is highly charasmatic despite his being a murderer, and is very interesting. And while the movie has several brutally horrifying moments, the movie also serves to be very funny.
Also, The People Under the Stairs. As far as I'm concerned, this movie is Craven's masterpiece. Intriguing premise, slick cinematogrophy, good acting, and creepy atmosphere. The movie is something of grim fairytale, and feels very dreamy (makes sense, as Craven claims he dreamed the movie shot for shot.).

Below are my favorites. I believe they are all rather obscure.
Bloody Mallory a French movie from 2002. A sexy crime fighting woman tries to save the Pope who has been kidnapped by a fallen angel. Did I mention her demolitions expert is a transvestite in 4 inch heels and a blue wig? Over the top, but very fun to watch. I believe you can still find it on hulu.
Teen Witch Hilarious and over the top 80s-tastic awesomeness. Story about an awkward high school girl who finds out she is a witch. Awesome cameo by Zelda Rubinstein and it's a musical.
The Orphanage This one isn't that obscure, but I liked it so much I have to list it to get others to watch it. A woman brings her family back to her childhood home, where she opens an orphanage. She thinks that the home may be haunted and her son is in danger, but what is paranormal and what is in her head?
"M" German movie from 1931 about a child murder and the lengths people go to stop him.
The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill Documentary on flocks of wild parrots who live in San Francisco
Winged Migration Documentary on the migratory patterns of birds, shot over the course of three years on all seven continents. Might sound dull to those who only like Michael Bay movies, but really very interesting.
Some other older movies that weren't obscure at the time but are now:
Auntie Mame
The Court Jester
The Children's Hour
The Apartment
Can you tell I like old movies? I could write a book, really. But I'll leave it at that.

I choose you: "Der Eisbaer" the succesfull try of german studios to make a tarantinoesk movie.
Another all time Favourite: "Felidae" great book, great movie, do it like my grandparents, see a cartoon cat on the cover and traumatize the kids by showing it to them.

Dead mans shoes, Killer clowns from outer space, Bad boy bubby, or anything with ray winstone in esp. sexy beast
Dead Man's Shoes is fantastic! This Is England is still my favourite of Shane Meadows though.mattyfox666 said:

Whenever I go to talk about "The Lives of others" no one seems to have heard of it. So yeah that film.
