Cemetary Man, Cannes award winning italian horror (in english- no dub) VERY creepy HEAD - the Monkees movie, hilarious, and done the same summer by the same group that did easy rider, which everyone has heard of. Nicholson directs, Hopper writes, and has cameo by Frank Zappa, among others. Perry Mason and the Case of the Lucky Legs 40s B/W with Mason played as a slapstick drunk. Sounds hokey, but was hilarious for late nite viewing The Dark Backward - strange story of comedian who grows an extra arm, dark comedy
Brother starring Beat Takeshi and Omar Epps is one of the greatest mafia movies of all-time. I love it. :H
Man don't get me started on Takeshi films. I'll never shut up. I just saw Dolls this week, and I think it's my new favorite movie of all time. Beatuiful, beautiful, beautiful modern-day myth set in contemporary Japanese society.
Phantom of the Paradise. A hilarious spoof of the music industry I think it was made by the same ppl that did Rocky Horror.
Zardoz! an old Sean Connery movie, straight outa heavy metal mag. I have to be on some magic substance to watch it, sober I fall asleep, despite its bizarre awsomeness. Spun---a methamphetamine driven indie film, totally awsome.
Maybe these are not very obscure, but I love them and not a lot of people have seen them. The Secretary - an "ex"- cutter gets a job with a neurotic lawyer, bondage ensues. (I've made it sound like a porn, but it is not even close) Welcome to the Dollhouse- i can't even describe this movie it is awesome. see it. Somebody mentioned my life without me. That was such a sad movie. Anybody who knows someone with cancer should see it.
Baise-Moi. i thought it was a great movie. a bit sick, but still... i don't know how well known it really is, but no one i know has seen it.
