Favorite Obscure Movies ?

[joeyballsack]

Do you have a movie that causes most people to stare blankly at you when you talk about it ?

Something that you would have had to get off the beaten path in order to have see it ?

[Slumbag]

There's this movie called The Society. It's about aliens who take on human form and live amongst high society. They eat humans and have these gross fucked up alien orgies where they fuse there bodies together and fuck. I saw it when I was like, 15 and no ones EVER heard of it.

[thepaulo]

two that I consider undeservedly obscure are
The Music of Chance with James Spader
The Adjuster with Elias Koteas

[whiskyriver]

Trees Lounge.............
Steve Buscemi wrote,directed and stars in one of the better little movies i've seen.
Just a good story,well acted. A few weeks in a life of a loveable looser. Plus you have a Baldwin(Daniel) a young Chloe Sevigny and a kick ass,out of nowhere cameo by Samuel L. Jackson.

[StupidGirlllll]

Hegwick & the angry inch
the doll house
requim for a dream
I have alot more I just can not think of them right now.

[hammersavage]

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

I'm sure a few folks on here know it but whenever I bring this up around most people, I get blank stares but I saw this flick 1000 times when I was younger.

[A.J.]

I don't know if this counts as "obscure":

[GreatAmericanZero]

I'm a big Troma fan. The best film they made as Lloyd Kaufman directing is "Terror Firmer". Everytime i've watched it with a new person they laughed non stop. If more people knew about it, that film wouldve been huge.

Troma also has the rights to this movie called "Combat Shock". They bill it as the first Vietnam movie shot entirely in Staten Island, but i swear to god its really a great great movie. Its about a guy home from vietnam with no money and a fat wife and a deformed baby (from agent orange exposure). Its another movie i never heard anyone say its a "bad movie" once they watched it.

[BMoses]

I may be the only one to see it but there was a movie with a pastey British chick and some actor, Leo DiCaprio. They are on a big ass boat and it sinks. All kinds of other crazy shit happens too.

[marky2bucks]

I love Orgazmo, I don't know how obscure that is for some people

It's Trey Parker and Matt Stone's movie before South Park got picked up. Obscene and hilarious.

[Ritalin]

Motel Hell

[MobCounty]

I saw 'Akira' in the theatre when it first came out... My eyes dried out from not blinking.

[StupidGirlllll]

Motel Hell

That has got to be a classic movie..Feed them in a hole until they get really fat then make chili out of them

Ever saw Blood Diner?

Ow how on earth could I forget Zardus I loved that retarded movie.

[zentraed]

i love lars von trier's films: dancer in the dark, dogville, breaking the waves. also, stuff from kieslowski like "dekalog".

[PhishHead]

i dont know what counts as obscure anymore

Swimming with Sharks
Primer
Dark City
Broken Vessels
Equilibrium
Human Traffic

[envirogator]

Swimming with Sharks

One of my all time favorites.

Another one I watch whenever it's on:

Dinner Rush

[MadMatt]

I really liked the movie "Pi" but few people seem to have seen it.

Well, maybe there are some people on here that have seen it, but most people haven't.

[MadMatt]

i dont know what counts as obscure anymore

Swimming with Sharks
Primer
Dark City
Broken Vessels
Equilibrium
Human Traffic

You have some really good flicks on this list. My fiance HATES Dark City, but I think it's great. I have not seen Primer yet, but really want to see it.

[grlNIN]

I've heard of/seen almost every single one of the movies listed.

Does that really make them obscure?

[MadMatt]

I've heard of/seen almost every single one of the movies listed.

Does that really make them obscure?

The problem is that what's obscure to the general public doesn't necessarily mean obscure on this board.

[zentraed]

I've heard of/seen almost every single one of the movies listed.

Does that really make them obscure?

thanks to dvd and imdb, if you're into art/foreign/indie cinema, nothing's obscure or hard to find anymore. i catch a lot of movies on ifc and the sundance channel too, like Primer.

if obscure is whether or not my parents have heard of it, then every movie listed so far qualifies. however, every teenage kid who thinks they're edgy has seen requiem for a dream.

ron's a big film guy, and it's part of what drew me into the show. i love that i can find great movie recommendations here

[grlNIN]

Fair enough.

Then Shallow Grave is probably the top of my list.

[PhishHead]

You have some really good flicks on this list. My fiance HATES Dark City, but I think it's great. I have not seen Primer yet, but really want to see it.

I love PI as well.

Primer is good but you really have to pay attention and think about the movie cause there is alot of scientific language involved in it.

Obscure is such a hard term to apply to movies and music and entertainment in general as every form of medium has its own following.

I know alot of people who haven't seen Stir of Echoes and when it came out was basically the same time as sixth sense and i thought it was ten times better then that travesty that M. night made. I don't know if I would say it was obscure but I know alot of people have never seen it.

Swimming with Sharks to me is obscure as most of the people I talk to about it have no idea whatsoever what it is, half the people think its about sharks. Suicide Kings was quite obscure when it came out, even lock stock was obscure when it first came out, but over time more and more people get exposed to movies so they move away from the obscure name. Something that is obscure this year, necessarily wont be next year or the year after.

[Recyclerz]

A lot of good stuff listed above and some that I'll want to check out but a lot of "dark" movies listed so far. I'd recommend this one as a funny "feel good" movie that, even if you're a misanthrope who thinks that David Fincher and Lars Von Trier are rose-colored glasses optimists, you can enjoy and not hate yourself in the morning.

The Castle
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118826/

It's about a family of Australian hayseeds that you start out laughing at but you wind up in a very different place.

i've actually seen this, and it was quite good. sometimes i just download random movies, and this was one of those. the same thing happened with "infernal affairs", which was remade into The Departed.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006)

Ireland, 1920. Damien and Teddy are brothers. But while the latter is already the leader of a guerrilla squad fighting for the independence of his motherland, Damien, a medical graduate of University College, would rather further his training at the London hospital where he has found a place. However, shortly before his departure, he happens to witness atrocities committed by the ferocious Black and Tans and finally decides to join the resistance group led by Teddy. The two brothers fight side by side until a truce is signed. But peace is short-lived and when one faction of the freedom-fighters accepts a treaty with the British that is regarded as unfair by the other faction, a civil war ensues, pitting Irishmen against Irishmen, brothers against brothers, Teddy against Damien...

Intermission(2003)

A raucous story of the interweaving lives and loves of small-town delinquents, shady cops, pretty good girls and very bad boys. With Irish guts and grit, lives collide, preconceptions shatter and romance is tested to the extreme. An ill-timed and poorly executed couple's break-up sets off a chain of events affecting everyone in town. There's the hapless romantic and his sex-starved best friend, the hotshot detective and the crook he's after, a young girl on the rebound with an older married man -- not to mention his deserted wife, an ambitious TV producer, an abandoned fiancée, a preteen trouble-maker -- all of whom are unaware of how their choices are profoundly intertwined. Add a botched robbery, some brown sauce, a woman's moustache, flying rocks and dancing single seniors and you have "Intermission."

Wings of Desire: Probably the least obscure of the three? Super-duper. Peter Falk is great, Nick Cave is great in it, too, although later he wore flip-flops on the Ron and Fez show. Also has violence and circuses. Maybe that's what I like about movies. You can visit Bruno Ganz's overcoat at the Film museum in Berlin (Moochie.)

Hi Paul!

I have not seen the Americanized Wings of Desire, but nor have I ever walked on broken glass or eaten botulism-tainted refried beans, so there's still time- Are you talking about "In weiter Ferne, so nah" with Lou Reed as himself?

Intermission(2003)

A raucous story of the interweaving lives and loves of small-town delinquents, shady cops, pretty good girls and very bad boys. With Irish guts and grit, ...

intermission stunk.

obscure irish id say Puckoon, written by the great Spike Milligan (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfz9O_mSY1U) and starring one of the best irish comics Sean Hughes

"'Puckoon' is adapted from a novel written by Spike Milligan in 1963 about the political divide in Ireland; managing to turn one of history's most famous disputes into a comedy featuring the small fictional Irish town of 'Puckoon'. The film tells how this village was halved accidentally by the border separating Ulster and the Irish Free State after months of careful planning was destroyed by a bicycle accident which ruined their equipment and work!"

http://www.downrail.co.uk/pics/puckoonposter.jpg

English- 'SCUM'. its up there with 'Bad Boy Bubby' and 'Man Bites Dog'

http://www.itsonlyamovie.co.uk/COVERS%205/SCUM%20UNCUT%20VHS.jpg

"wheres yer faackin tool"

some of the most disturbing scenes ever put on film.

"Originally made for the BBC in 1977, Scum was initially banned but remade as a feature film in 1979.

The film centres around a British Borstal and the arrival of three new inmates; an Afro-Carribean boy named Angel (Davidson Knight), the timid Davis (Martin Philips) with Ray Winstone reprising his original role as Carlin, a shrewd and experienced young man, whose reputation for violence precedes him.

the Borstal depicted in Scum, out in the middle of nowhere, inescapable and unremitting, is surely one of the most realistic and depressing incantations of hell on earth you’ll ever find"

[Chigworthy]

Also, "Chopper", starring Eric Bana is not bad

I think Nick Cave's buddy Mick Harvey scored this flick.

Obscure Australian Skinhead flick: Romper Stomper. (Actually, probably not very obscure now that I think of it as Paulo's favorite actor starred in it.)

Maybe Obscure Jeunet et Caro film: Delicatessen. French post-apoc surreality. The always strange-looking Dominique Pinon stars. Some think that Jeunet ruined the Alien series with Resurrection, but I disagree.

Obscure Mockumentary (or ROCKumentary?): Man Bites Dog. Belgian wierdness about a film crew that follws a despicably loveable serial killer around through the thick and thin. They become nervous friends with him and mocument his killings and day to day life. Morbidly funny, disgusting, and depressing. The soundman character seems to me to be a vague reference to the Spinal Tap drummer.

Unintelligble Japanese Urban Biomechanical Horror: Tetsuo. A metallo-industrial soundtrack follows the adventures of a man who may have hit and killed another man with a penchant for plunging metallic objects into his body, only to dump his carcass in the forest and fuck his chick guiltily in front of it. The metal fetishist comes back to life with the power to invade metal. He infects the driver with metal disease, which gradually transforms him into a cyborg. Along the way we are treated to plenty of industrial phalluses and hetero/homo nightmares and more of that metallo-industrial music. One scene may have inspired the O&A "Drilldo" thing.

[deepinthewoods]

Picnic at Hanging Rock.


AND
No one knows "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" because they saw it the first time Ken Loach made it, it was called "Land and Freedom".

Picnic At Hanging Rock's simplicity is what makes it so creepy. The turn-of-ther-century-Australian-girls-mysteriously-disappear genre is one of my favourites.

And go on ya who ever mentioned Chopper. Also in the Aussie-convicts-run-amok genre is Ghosts Of The Civil Dead, which features a pretty hilarious performance by Nick Cave.

Of course, I grew up on Prisoner Cell Block H, so bad antipodeans are something of a turn on for me.

[Chigworthy]

I've been wanting to see Ghosts of the Civil Dead for years, directed by Cave's longtime friend John Hillcoat, who may have one of the coolest names out there. He directed The Proposition, and he may be directing Cormac McCarthy's The Road eventually.

[Kublakhan61]

Dead Man, anyone? Most people who "love" Mr. Depp have over looked this one.

[thepaulo]

You a fan of the Goons, Mooch?....and the young Ray Winstone is freaking me out.....
both of those movies are obscure but most films not made in America are obscure to Americans....
Puckoon is definitely obscure...which brings to mind another Elliot Gould movie that I feel is obscure......and extremely noteworthy...a must see, but not likely to be found on Netflix....
Little Murders....
also star Alan Arkin in an extreme comedy of urban paranoia....

Tetsuo is also awesome....

I can't say why but I have always hated Romper Stomper. It seems like I'm alone on this though.

[deepinthewoods]

Lisztomania with Roger Daltry as Liszt

I also have a strange soft spot for Ken Russell films, especially Tommy, The Devils (and I recommend reading Aldous Huxley's "The Devils Of Loudun" from which this film is derived) and a weird made for TV thing about Dante Gabriel Rossetti starring Oliver Reed. Oh yeah, Lair Of The White Worm. His shit is so stupidly over the top that it always makes me laugh in inappropriate ways. Father Barre from The Devils is one of the best priest characters in the history of film.

[deepinthewoods]

two movies come to mind one is a1980;s cop flick called night of the juggler..and last is a flim called begotten so wierd and wacked it made eraserhead look like citizen kane

Allow me to hog up the thread for a spell with an annoying survey of art films. The Begotten: fuck yes! I had to BUY a copy at Kim's in NYC in 1995 just to see it. I'm not sure if I would call it entertaining, but it was certainly a lovely and upsetting art film. Highly recommended for people who like mega high contrast, grainy black and white films featuring long scenes of an odd fucker shuddering in a chair with a stiletto. I really liked how that film sounded. Crunchy. One definitely has to be in a mood. A mood that resembles dying at sea (that film wandered off with my first wife and is probably propping up a lobsided table even now)

I am kind of an idiot for art films. Because I am kind of an idiot. I like a lot of Derek Jarman films (who came up in film under Ken Russell's wing), but I don't think I could recommend any outright because even the best ones have such a willful amateurism installed and most are shot like plays, which is off-putting to many. Caravaggio is very funny, though.

Kenneth Anger: also Kool with a kapital K, but not for people on Efexor. But for those willing to break on through to the other side, Lucifer Rising is avant gorgeous (with psychedelic soundtrack by Bobby Beausoleil).

I stand fast at the banner of Werner Herzog (including his most recent Rescue Dawn. HIDEOUS name, but a pretty good flick. based on Herzog's earlier documentary Little Dieter Wants To Fly). If nothing else, go rent My Best Fiend about actor Klaus Kinski. Just classic in every way and beyond hilarious.

I know much has been said about Wim Wenders on the show. Many of his less famous films are winners. The American Friend with Dennis Hopper and Bruno Ganz is one of Wenders' best. Murder and intrigue in the art world, but in a fucked up way that only a U2 obsessed kraut could conjur. The State Of Things starts as a tidiculous and cheesy sci fi film and then veers into darker corners. Wenders films are paced for tortoises, but fuckin' up hares is sort of what makes him great

El Topo by Jodorowsky: best psychedelic cowboy film this side of High Planes Drifter.

Fellini, Fasbinder, Pasolini, Kurosawa...yeah, they are all in there, but this is not a fucking post modern film class...yet. Props to Satyricon for a fantastic canibalism scene (and here's to Caligula, Satyricon's filthy little cousin. Must be seen to be believed).

Maya Deren did a number of short films that are probably collected on a DVD somewhere. Kind of a cross between Bunuel and Jean Cocktease.

Quay brothers? Maybe if there were more goths on this board. No one is reading this far down anyways. EVERYONE ON RF.NET IS A CUNT. See, no one read that.

But here's one for everybody: Guy Madden's film Careful. A preemptive viewing of Leni Riefenstahl's Der Blaue Licht would better explain what the epic German mountain climbing genre was all about, but a viewing is not required. Careful is shot as though the filming took place in the 30's, complete with weird edits and slightly mismatched dialogue tracks. Retardedly funny and visually bootiful. In other words: art meets entertainment. Is that possible?



http://www.nfi.no/sysimg/sisutitles/org/7466.jpg

[Kublakhan61]

I liked seeing The Brothers Quay, Guy Madden, Kenneth Anger, and Maya Deren all getting mentions in one post. Now, this is a serious thread. But what of my all time favorite experimental film: Dog Star Man? For some reason my 11th grade film studies teacher showed us a lot of Brakhage. Funny how many kids decided film making wasn't for them on that very day.

So, in the spirit of the last post let us add Michael Snow, Stan Brakhage, Chris Marker and Jonas Mekas to the list of films we enjoy that others are perplexed by.

I know that of the experimental lot -Quay, Deren, Brakhage, and Marker all have DVDs available for purchase but all the others I saw on VHS or reel-to-reel at Bard.

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/f/f0/Hated_gg_allin.jpg
Hated is a 1994 documentary about the life of punk rocker, GG Allin. Allin was infamous for both his excessive behavior (drug addiction, alcoholism, physical violence) and his stage shows (indecent exposure, onstage defecation, attacking fans, obscene language).

The film was directed by Todd Phillips who included concert footage, rehearsal footage, and interviews with Allin himself and his fellow bandmembers. Other interviews include friends, relatives, fans and foes of Allin. Phillips also includes footage showing Allin's less-than-humble beginnings in rural New Hampshire as the son of a fanatical religious father who named him Jesus Christ Allin, believing that he would be a messianic figure, much like Christ.

While he was alive, Allin fully dedicated himself to a life of extreme, antisocial behavior that virtually no other rock performer has matched. The film contains footage of Allin cavorting with prostitutes (perhaps the most graphic content of the film), defecating during shows, mutilating himself with sharp objects and verbally abusing and attacking concertgoers. Performing naked was one of Allin's most common rituals; in one scene shot at New York University (NYU), he strips in front of the audience, attempts to insert a banana into his anus, and taunts them with obscenity, clearly daring them to stay or leave.

Some of the most telling footage is Allin's appearance on Geraldo Rivera's talk show in the early 1990s. Allin used foul language despite FCC rules and much of what he says is bleeped out.

Hated was released on DVD in December of 1999. It includes a taped rehearsal shot before the last show Allin performed the day before he died. It also includes footage of Allin's funeral and his dead body in its coffin.

Just rereleased.

Ronnie B referenced GG Allin one time when ESD was eating shit

watched it last week. By the end i cant say i was too impressed by GG's act. watching video of his later shows, it was more of a pre-rehearsed farce than anything creatively inspired.

he reminded me of a 'Jackie' is Glasgow covered in piss and shoutin at passers by, except he did it for money and it got called 'cool'. The NYU and Boston gigs were humiliating watching him mainly fight girls, shite on stage, everyone leaves, police arrive..somewhere art is supposed to have happened in there.

seemed to be white middle class art fags making him out to be more than he was...look at the fuckjob that was his 'biggest fan'

if he was a real expression of societies anger and passion (outside the arty farty "hey someone cool just touched me with their shit" crowd) he wouldve been shot in the face the first time he touched a 'real' person.

still a great watch and an interesting story. no question in my mind that he should be allowed to do it... and call it art... but im not gonna be the faggit he hits with a mic stand to have the illusion im part of some underground movement that the "squares just cant handle maaaaaaaaan"

it actually annoyed me that this dude has such mythical status for what was in reality a mentally challenged drug addict eating his shit to shock mummy and daddy back in the burbs...worshipped by these self loathing rich kid apostles who stood at the back and allowed the eager hipsters to try and get Allin's blood on their gap shirts to impress their dormroom.

DEAD MAN w/ J.Depp Dir by J.Jarmischhttp://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/04/31/61/10m.jpg

This movie is great. I believe it was Robert Mitchum's last film

I'd like to see "Romper Stomper" again. I haven't seen it since it came out.

[Chigworthy]

Mooch, I couldn't agree with you more about GG Allin. While it's fun to watch the spectacle that he was, these spoiled brats who elevate him to some kind of status are kind of silly. There's a lot of GG Allin videos on google video, including an uncensored hour of his last concert. I think someone here might have posted that link a while ago.

[drjoek]

When I posted the movie it was based on Ronnie B's off hand comment about GGAllin to ESDave. I even put it in LOTD. Dave was eating shit and he said to Dave you don't see alot of GG Allin on the walls of the Hard Rock Cafe do ya. It got me intrigued I'd never heard of GGA so I did a little digging and realized how quick Ronnie B is. Since then I've listened to some downloaded songs and then it said in the paper that the movie was rereleased. So I gave it a look. As some one reviewed him on line here he was trying to be a punk outlaw and he died a cliche(sp?) rock star death. Heroin OD. The movie is interesting since the director went on to direct Road Trip of all things.

I'm sure a few folks on here know it but whenever I bring this up around most people, I get blank stares but I saw this flick 1000 times when I was younger.

When I posted the movie it was based on Ronnie B's off hand comment about GGAllin to ESDave. I even put it in LOTD. Dave was eating shit and he said to Dave you don't see alot of GG Allin on the walls of the Hard Rock Cafe do ya. It got me intrigued I'd never heard of GGA so I did a little digging and realized how quick Ronnie B is. Since then I've listened to some downloaded songs and then it said in the paper that the movie was rereleased. So I gave it a look. As some one reviewed him on line here he was trying to be a punk outlaw and he died a cliche(sp?) rock star death. Heroin OD. The movie is interesting since the director went on to direct Road Trip of all things.

I was thinking that whole week should have been GG Allin week.

What about Death Bed: The Bed that Eats. In Patton Oswalt's latest cd, he talks about it at one point. I rented this recently, it's a bonafide gem.
