Favorite movie no one's ever heard about

I've concluded that any movie that's a "box office hit" is usually pretty lame. So what are some good movies that weren't very popular? My picks are:
1. City of Lost Children
2. Arizona Dream
3. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (sooo gross, but good ...if you don't mind watching naked guys getting force-fed dog poop)

 

"gummo" and "tales of the city" are two of my favorites


funny thing.. about 4 years ago i went into my local video store and asked if they had "gummo"
the lady said "no, we never have and NEVER will care that movie" .. they have it now

 

Gummo is that hick one right?

 

st. elmos fire
do the right thing

 

Everyone has heard of those.

My fave would have to be The Color of the Night w/ Bruce Willis.

 

My Blue Heaven

 

CLue, Tank Girl, plus all my old B&W's

 

nope, lots of ppl haven't.

 

metropolis

 

I love Clue.. I watched it yesterday1!!!!!

Mine probably Hedwig... Im sure lots of you have heard of it.. But plenty of people havent

 

The Seventh Seal, its a really famous foreign film, not alot of people no of it in the Americas. Unless you've watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

 

Betty Blue, (French subtitled, love story, tragedy, comedy.)
An absolutely brilliant film you will never forget once you have
watched it. Please go and see it.

 

i know a tad lame ...but empire records is my favourite-never-gets-old-movie...so good! and amilie/dirty dancing- yes im a freak/about a boy/spirited away/dumbo

 

oooo and the disney version of robin hood...sheer brilliance

 

Howard the Duck

 

Hedwig kinda frightened me! The Velocity of Gary was nice. Gia was cool too, i dont know many people here who have heard of it.

And Empire Records rocks!!!11one1

I like The Virgin Suicides a lot too... it was well known in its time, but nowadays it seems no-one can recall it.

 

You guys have great taste! Virgin Suicides, Hedwig, Empire Records.. love'em all!

My all time "secret movie" fav would have to be "Dead Man". It's this black and white western type flick, but it stars Johnny Depp and was filmed in '96! Crispin Glover is in it too, if that is any indication of it's off-beatness. Oh, and Iggy Pop plays a cross-dresser, and Billy Bob Thorton is his good friend. There is also this Native character whose name is Exsabachea, which translates to Nobody. lol.

It's not easy to find in my area of the world, but if you stumble upon it check it out!

 

omg, I can't believe someone else has seen that one. How about Michael Wincott (from The Crow) as the hired killer who won't shut up? "J'ever wonder why the sun doesn't go down all at once? Like, what if it just suddenly went dark. That'd be weird." LMAO!

 

umm... excuse me, but do you have any tobacco? hehehe.

 

im sure others have heard of thse and probobly have seen them

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavera
Elephant
Donnie Darko [yeah, lots of people have seen it but meh]
Reaper
Canadian Hicks
Under the Darkness
The Milk Movie
The Devilish Plan


i know there are lots of others

BTW- if you mean the disney robbin hood with the foxes and bear as little john, then its not really an unkknown movie [but then again neither is Donnie Darko so...]
