Name the most obscure, not well known film you've seen?

[VampireSparkles]

Basketball Diaries. I've never met a single person who has seen it and it's one of my favourites. Leonardo Dicaprio and Mark Wahlberg.

Like Crazy, pre Jennifer Lawrence being famous. Low budget and the cast had to make up 50% of the script.

Daydream nation. Stumbled across the trailer randomly on YouTube, decided to watch it. Really odd but turned out quite good.

DH (before we were married ) said he'd seen a movie poster for "Surf Nazis Must Die" It sounded so ridiculous that it became a running joke until the day he tracked down a copy.

It was utterly awful in almost every way.

Cria Cuervos a Spanish film about two little girls in post-Franco Spain. One of the best films I've ever seen - an 8 year old Ana Torrent puts in an astonishing performance.

Very catchy tune in there too - (a little clip from the film)

Strange so glad someone else has seen (and loved) Ink Have you seen The Frame by the same director/team yet? I look forward to it, but haven't got round to watching yet.

Zardos
With Sean Connery

Shit.

Another Earth
With actors nobody has heard of, but recent 2011 I think, low budget, excellent!!

Grandisson - A French/German production set & filmed in Heidelberg. Haunting story, based on a true story, set during the 30 years war. Wish I could get it on DVD.

My Life So Far - film version of a book (different title), an autobiography by a former TV exec. My family worked for his family, on his family estate. My father and grandfather are mentioned a few times in the book, but don't feature at all in the film.

Really Obscure Fact: It stars Colin Firth, and is mentioned in the second Bridget Jones film, under its working title, World of Moss.

Ridicule - French film about draining swamps. Better than it sounds, honest.

La faute de l'Abbe Mouret - another French film, about a priest who sins, by falling in love. Shot in a mix of b& w and colour.

Isadora- Glad it's actually a real film and I didn't imagine it. I really loved it.

Scum Watched it with a friend as teens and were utterly traumatised. Great film but I feel no need to watch it again.

An ex and I tried to watch Witchfinder General after being out clubbing all night. Didn't make it further than five minutes in. I love Vincent Price and would like to see this film as it's an acknowledged classic of the genre...but I just can't.

oh Scum haha, a bit of that was filmed in our school gym....which must have looked suitably seedy as well as being the nearest school to the film studios...

Puella magi madoka magica.

A japanese animated film that starts off really cutesy and gets darker and darker and darker. It's great.

Hi,I am new to Mumsnet.

Man Push Cart ( Ramin Bahrani)

Central Station ( Fernanda Montenegro)

Bully ( Larry Clark)

Oh, oh, oh, here's another:

Land and Freedom. About the complexities of the Spanish civil war, and the people drawn from England to fight it. I defy anyone not to cry at the end.

And here's an obscure one with one of Brando's better performances:

A Dry White Season

And since I mentioned Brando, here's Brando and Depp

Don Juan de Marco

(you may recognise the soundtrack)

Hello Wafer** - glad to finally meet someone else who's seen it and sounds like you were as confused as me!

Another one: my Dad used to pick quite random videos for us as a treat on weekends during the late 80's/early 90's and one I always remember was 'When the Whales Came'? - anyone else seen it.

Also, sorry to hijack thread to ask about a TV series I once watched but it's quite obscure too so some of you guys might be able to help? It was on BBC2 late 90's/early 00's I think and was called Dr Wroe's Virgins. It was about a religious prophet?/fanatic in Lancashire during the mid/late1800's? Who kept a home of unfortunate women inc Kathy Burke and Lena Heady who I think he abused or certainly took advantage of in the name of God. I think he claimed he was saving their souls before 'the end of the world' came. I remember finding it quite intriguing and would love to see it again but can't find it anywhere. Read the book in my 20's but never met anyone else to discuss it with.

It's Mr Wroe's Virgins, no Dr - that's why you can't find it!

www.imdb.com/title/tt0106074/

Remember watching Picnic At Hanging Rock with my dad as a kid and it was really good. Have watched it a few times since and I love it, very atmospheric and eerie. I had it on video but my mate borrowed it and I didn't get it back.

Pleased I'm not the only one to have seen Bad Boy Bubby, none of my friends have seen it. Weirdest film I have ever seen by a mile, quite indescribable to anyone who has not seen it.

Legend of Boggy Creek - absolutely petrified when I watched it as a kid.

Puella magi madoka magica. - I have seen half of this but DP judged it too confusing and we didn't watch the rest. Damn it.

NiceBitofCheese, I loved 'Ridicule'.

Not managed to RTFT but has anyone seen 'Rhumba', a very silly comedy starring a RL husband and wife? (He's Belgian, I think she might be Australian). They play teachers with a passion for dancing; she loses a leg and gets a wooden one, which at one point she sets on fire. It's a comedy, believe it or not. Full of physical gags, pretty much wordless. Utterly bizarre but so wacky it's endearing.

Oh, and 'A Town called Panic' (iirc). It's an animated film done by the French people who made those Cravendale milk adverts with the little toy cows and soldiers. One of the main characters is a horse. As above, absolutely bonkers but so funny.

Running On Empty was good as well, not sure if it was obscure.

DoorToTheRiver

Running On Empty was good as well, not sure if it was obscure

I saw it !. Judd Hirsch (rare movie role for the "Taxi" star, and Martha Plimpton ).

Pasolini's Medea. It was BRILLIANT.

Running on empty is very good

Voyager 1991 (based on the 1957 Max Frisch novel Homo Faber), with Sam Shepard and Julie Delpy. It's absolutely haunting.

I watched The Story of the Weeping Camel at a screening for film reviewers.

I was asked for feedback so I said it was fucking pretentious and patronising clearly staged tosh masquerading as a serious and profound fly-on-the wall documentary about the nobility of ancient cultures versus our hideously shallow modern world.

That line didn't make it onto the poster. Probably too long...
