Pyrotex Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 You guys know way more about obscurity than I ever claimed to. But what the hell...my two cents: Japanese obscure movie: The Mysterians. Incredible stop-action scenes. Okay, they're cheesy as hell. French obscure movie: Babbette's Feast. Just heart-warming, that's all. American obscure movie: Robinson Crusoe on Mars. No excuse. :) Turtle 1 Quote

I love Babette's Feast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, but I have been searching for it under my own misundertaking that the film was older than that and titled The Lottery, or some such variation. :doh:It's something more complex than simply heart(h)warming. Makes me get a hankerin' for duck, that's all. :D Quote

InfiniteNow Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Has no one yet mentioned Zardoz? It's one of Sean Connery's best. :) YouTube - Trailer for Zardoz (1974) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbGVIdA3dx0 Zardoz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote

REASON Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Has no one yet mentioned Zardoz? It's one of Sean Connery's best. :) I...had...no...idea. :D It's a trip watching that trailer. For one, it's like the Twi-light Zone realizing that Sean Connery even made a film like that. I think that one has been suppressed on purpose. Secondly, could you imagine sitting in the theater with your date watching the previews to your flick when Zardoz comes on? I'm sure there were quite a few murmurs after that trailer ended. :doh: Quote
Pyrotex Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Has no one yet mentioned Zardoz? It's one of Sean Connery's best. ...Oooooooohhh!!!One of my favorite movies of all times!!!Death is good!!! Quote
freeztar Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Dark City I suppose it isn't that obscure (especially considering the recent entries, but what the heck). Quote
Pyrotex Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 The PianoIt is the story of a Scottish woman named Ada (Holly Hunter), who has been mute since age 6 because she simply chose not to speak. Ada travels with her daughter Flora (Anna Paquin) and her beloved piano to a remote spot on the coast of New Zealand for an arranged marriage to a farmer (Sam Neill). She gives piano lessons to a gruff neighbor (Harvey Keitel) who has Maori tattoos on his face, and, well, things develop from there. The picture takes on a powerful dream logic that simply defies synopsis. Quote
Nitack Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Idiocracy should be required viewing before anyone can post on this board. C'mon guys, we need to increase our breeding or the movie will come true. :shade: Quote
Pyrotex Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 The Cook The Thief His Wife & Her Lover A 1989 black comedy, known as much for its depiction of cannibalism and frontal nudity as for its lavish and often breathtaking cinematography and formalism. Quote

I read this and it reminded me of Delicatessen, a French black comedy, and then that reminded me of The City of Lost Children, a movie by the same director. Quote
Racoon Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 The Toxic Avenger. Cult classic so maybe doesn't qualify as "obscure"It was a pretty good movie. :QuestionM:D:) Revolutionary in its low-budget violence and horror. :eek2: YouTube - The Toxic Avenger Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27E4Qfj7iEY Quote
