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.

How about any film by Andrei Tarkovsky? The Sacrifice, Mirror, Andrei Rubliev, Nostalghia, Solaris (remade by George Clooney) DH and I have watched lots of obscure films over the years, Nostalghia I've attempted about 5 times and fall asleep in each time, the imagery is lovely, the music beautiful, but the pace is... v e r y s l o w

Trys Dienos. An utterly miserable Lithuanian film about three crap days in Kaliningrad in the late 80s. I know no one else who has seen this film and I will never watch it again.

greenhill, I LOVE Tarkovsky! Solaris is one of my top films - the levitation scene in the library with the Bach music makes me well up every time.

Bronson a musical representation of charles (criminal) bronsons life with that pouty actor in it very surreal and trippy but i liked it (wtf is that actors name)

And I know someone connected to the Nazis in space film. The writer is usually pissed, which might explain how it even came to be an idea in the first place.

Anyone seen the Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and the newish third one Before Midnight? With Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy? They're basically "talking films" where the plot centres around the dialogue between the 2 main characters. I LOVED the 1st two (watched them both when I was in uni) but haven't watched the 3rd one yet.

Oh yes, I remember cube!! Good film.
I just asked my DH if it was him I saw it with and he replied 'I can't get passed the cube with Phillip schofield!' Similar but slightly more at stake for the participants!

I love City of Lost Children.
I also love Artemis 81, even though it makes me feel I am on drugs without being on drugs. It's distilled essence of weird.

The story of the weeping camel.

It was very poignant (and bactrian camels are the bes

serenaserene and mumdeetum have you see Jan Swankmajer's version of Alice in Wonderland 'Alice'? It's not one I'd let my DC watch, I think they'd have nightmares!

trea I've seen Cube. Weird.

Skin i live in spanish film with antonio banderas playing a plastic surgeon who turns a woman into the image of his dead wife or something

I bought a vampire motorcycle, starring Neil Morrisey.
Yes it was a bad as it sounds!

So, I've seen (and loved) "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (at least twice, and I'm not Australian, though well over 40) and "Harold and Maude". Has anyone else seen "A nous les petites Anglaises"? (You will have done if you were a French assistante in 1976/1977.) Does "My Brilliant Career" count as obscure?

When I was a teenager, my friends and I used to spend all our time watching some completely gore fest movies. One of which was they don't cut the grass any more.

I'd be surprised if anyone else has seen it because it was dire.

YY agentcooper the films are very rewarding emotionally, but you're in for the long haul when you settle down for the night with a Tarkovsky DVD

Harold and Maud is one the best ever films, but I see someone has mentioned it already.

Angel-A. A black and white film where an angel stops a man jumping off a bridge in Paris and killing himself. She is a hard drinking, heavy smoking angel.

Howard the Duck
Battle of the Villa Fiorita

Merci pour la chocolat

The One Armed Boxer

Session 9 - horror film with Peter Mullan
restless Natives - Scottish film which lots of scots will have seen but prob not many others

Have seen Young Poisoners Handbook and Emprie Records (more than once)

Oh , I've thought of another, a Norwegian film ( rather ironically ) called Trollhunter

Black and white angel film reminds me of Wings of Desire, the film City of Angels with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage was based on. Stars Columbo (Peter Falk) as one of the angels.

Probably the most obscure is Anchoress, about a girl in the Middle Ages who was walled up in a church - Toyah Wilcox played her mother.

Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis really fun.

Time of the Gypsies - incredibly sad

The Wedding Banquet - gay Taiwanese man living in the USA stages a fake wedding for the benefit of his parents, also really fun and quite moving.

The Kiss of the Spider Woman - totally mesmerisingly performance from William Hurt.

I also loved Raise the Red Lantern and Children of a Lesser God and Maurice. Dead Again, not so much

Also, Dazed and Confused...one of Matthew McConaughey's earliest.
