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.

Dd 17 loves Empire Records and DS loves Clerks.
Here is a very small section of Dh's collection, probably one of the more obscure shelves. Can say I've seen them all, but most.
My favourite obscure film is The Black Cat with Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. Karloff plays a black magician who has killed lugosis wife and preserved her. It's very Art Deco and a bit s&m.

I watched the Basketball Diaries OP

Mimic -horror with human size cockroaches as the 'bad guys'.

A Danish film called The Fir Tree - based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

And a French film about a primary school, it might be To Be & To Have (Être et Avoir) - at least I think that's the film I'm thinking of.

Children of a Lesser God is why I learned sign language. Well known film.

Just realised you can't read them. Doh.
Oh the Navigator-Ken Loach film about railways, because bil has a bit part in it.

I have seen the Token King, Hippy! Twice. I watched it when it was first on telly (I think it was a channel 4 film, early 90s) then I watched it again on YouTube last year. It's still good.

We just watched an insane film called 'The one I love' with Peggy from Mad Men and Ted Danson. It was bizarre and brilliant. It's on Netflix.

I saw The Girl with Brains in her Feet in 1997 - teenage athlete growing up. Although it was in the cinema, I never heard of it again.

Into the Night, with Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer and a cameo by David Bowie.

Iron Sky - about Nazis that relocated to the moon.

Wips I've seen Frances Ha.

Persepolis, which was pretty good.
The City Of Lost Children (By the same people who did 'Amelie')

www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/

Ps I've seen basketball diaries. It's quite well known

My point was it's got a good cast but I think its that popular as you would assume it to be.

There can be some films you will have heard of but never seen. I've never seen the Matrix but I've heard of it, etc

I don't think you could walk up to a majority of people and say - have you seen The Basketball Diaries and they will say yes.

But I apologise profusely if I'm wrong!!!!!

I raise you the newsies, and a Swedish film where the grown up children have never left their patents house (maybe eye teeth)

Was that Dogtooth?

That is one fucked up film.

tobold I've seen Maurice, doesn't it have a beautiful half-naked Rupert Graces in it, as a lusty gamekeeper or some such?

I've seen Kids too flubberbust, great film, Chloe Sevigny was brilliant.

Probably not that obscure but My own private Idaho (Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix). Apart from my friend, anyone else I've asked hasn't heard of it. Haven't seen it in years but I remember it being really good.

Tree of Life. Nominated for Palm D'or. Spectacularly shit.

Graves, not Graces!

Venus Peter. A Scottish coming of age film from the 1980s.

Dd was obseseed with Newsies the stage show so had to get her the film.
Tim was one of my favourite books and loved the film.
My obscure one was a south african film called Eh Lollipop about two orphans in Lesotho one black and one white. Its heartbreaking but beautiful and funny as well

"a Swedish film where the grown up children have never left their patents house (maybe eye teeth)"

^ I watched it on TV not too long ago, can't remember what it was called, but it was interesting.

Ink - really great gothic fairytale

Only Lovers Left Alive - one of my favourite films ever

Harajuku Girls - Japanese coming of age film

Oldboy (original, not the awful remake) - or is this one more well-known now?

Brick - featuring a young Joseph Gordon Levitt

Wristcutters: A Love Story. Lovely film.

Benny and Joon: Mr Depp at his best.

B Fred analogue: this one is probably cheating as it's a friend's.

A very obscure film about a person wondering around all night in New York City, and the only other thing I remember is the song by Was (Not Was), 'Hello, Dad, I'm in jail!'

Have seen Maurice, too.

Saw My Own Private Idaho in cinema. I was a strange girl.

That's the one, River! All baby-faced, in the nip and a bit out of his depth. I think it was one of Hugh Grant's first films as well.

Wristy I love Intacto too, am always recommending it to people.

Here's another - Better Off Dead. The 80s John Cusack film that no one seems to have seen apart from me and my pal who was with me when I (repeatedly) rented the video.
