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.

I saw the thread and thought 'teeth' but I see somebody beat me to it.... Essentially about a woman having teeth in her vaginas that came in v useful when she was raped....

Also the man with one red shoe! A really.early Tom.hanks that nobody I know has heard of :)

Oh, and what about Jean Cocteau's La belle et la bete? Probably the best film version of the Beauty and the Beast story ever.

toboldlygo yes - Karl Urban is outstandingly hot. i can't understand why he doesn't get more prominent movie roles.

Kaneto Shindo's "The Naked Island" struggles of a Japanese family.

Suspiria is brilliant, Clueing! The music is so cool. I went to Dario Argento's shop/museum in Rome (Profondo Rosso) and it was nuts. Kind of musty and piled high with comic books. The mad English voiceover in the basement 'museum' was worth the visit alone!

Years ago, on a plane, I saw a lovely little film starring Greg Kinnear about a man who worked in a post office and started reading all the 'dead' letters that couldn't be delivered and making people's wishes and dreams come true. It was a bit like an early version of Amelie but a lot less stylish! Damned if I know what it was called though. I may also be remembering it a bit wrong!

I do remember an old black and white movie (from my pre-kids days when my friend and I would throw all nighters involving stupendous amounts of wine, cigarettes and BBC2 obscure movies) called 'Scream Peggy Scream' about a sculptor who murdered a woman and buried her in a sculpture.

SmartAlec I've seen Chronos and the other two. (Have the box set) they're AMAZING!!

A film that is one of my faves that I thought was well known but only one of my friends has heard of "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe"

Oh and a film (may have been a 'made for tv one') called "The Sin Eater" starring Josie Lawrence. Bloody loved it but can't seem to find it anywhere! :(

The Wind Will Carry Us, an Iranian movie from 1999.

MrsTodd Was that film "Dear God"? Really lovely!

Other favourites of mine are "Silent Running" and "Babette's Feast" but they are not too obscure.

That film with Greg Kinnear is indeed Dear God - I love it!

Meet the feebles - found it v funny when I was 16 not sure what I'd think these days

Black sheep - New Zealand horror that was amusing.

Something about vampires sharing a house, quite a recent one, not sure whether I liked it or not.

Some weird thing with a man baby/cherub and a woman being raped by lots of men, really grim anyone know what it was called?

L'ascenseur pour l'echafaud. I don't know how obscure it is but it's rarely shown. It's a film noir by Louis Malle with Jeanne Moreau and a Miles Davis score , tres cool.

The Quiet Earth Sci fi film based on a Craig Harrison book was shown a lot in the 80's. A shift in the earth caused everyone on the exact point of dying to stay alive and everyone else in the world disappeared. And after a seeing them stay alive they then realise that it will happen again (and they probably won't be just about to die next time round).

There was also a fab version of Little Mermaid where her legs really hurt and she became the light on the water at the end. Never seen it since but it was a proper fairytale.

Dogtooth
I am slave
Stoning of sariora
I capture the castle
Priest
The burning plain
And quite a few Australian, New Zealand, and European films that I just can't remember the names of

Meet the Feebles! Used to watch that at uni, so weird.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Set in East Germany, a singer suffers a botched operation to make a vagina, hence the title.
The Disappearance of Finbar with Jonathan Rhys Myers.

MrsTodd I've also sat through Last Year at Marienbad!

I was dating DH who was living with his parents. DH suggested we watch a DVD. I just wanted his dad to go away so we could start snogging - it was at the strictly separate bedrooms stage Also I was prepared to put up with DH's art house crap as I fancied him so much

20 minutes of Marienbad weirdness and DH's Dad caved and went to bed. DH still wanted to watch the fucking film!

It was a long and painful wait for the snogging

Drama I watched Fried Green Tomatoes the other day. Brilliant film!

Tokyo Story is great too. If you like that you might like In the Mood for love which i think is korean. It is in a similar vein

My fave obscure film is a British one called Dear Frankie. It was made about eleven years ago and starred Gerard Butler (pre Hollywood) Emily Mortimer, Sharon Small and Mary Riggins (sweetshop lady from Ballymorie)
It's about a little deaf boy and is one of the sweetest and saddest films. It tugs at my heartstrings every time i see it!

Tall guy is amazing and weird I love it. Summer story is brutal :-(
We went to watch kids in the art cinema in Cambridge in the 6th form
Gas food lodging I loved too.

Think my entry is Stella does tricks - Kelly McDonald and james bolam as a perp.
And the great ecstasy of Robert Carmichael - gave me nightmares did years

Mississippi masala with denzel Washington. I remember loving it but nobody has ever heard of it!

The sleeping dictionary(2002)
I love it,no one I know have ever seen or heard of it though,Jessica Alba,Hugh Dancy,Brenda Blethyn,Emily Mortimer and Bob Hoskins

I thought Fried Green Tomatoes and The Tall Guy were quite well known?

My favourite film is Gregory's Girl but so many people haven't heard of it. I suspect it has cult status in the 40+ age group.

I know one of the actors in stella does tricks, that is the only reason i have seen it
