I mention this flick whenever threads like this pop up. A real trip and highly recommended.

Serenity is obscure?



Rocket River

 

Yeah I'm not very good at this I suppose.

It came out on a weak opening weekend at #2 but then fell off hard. And most people I know IRL still don't know what it is.

But yeah, like I said, I'm not good at this. I guess I don't see many obscure movies.

 

Shaolin Soccer -- Kung Fu Football

Someone else mentioned Breakdown, that's a good one. Judgement Night is a movie I'll watch almost every time it's on.

 

Shaolin is very good. Recommend.

 

Needs Updating

Rocket River

 

Layer Cake

 

Dredd- the Karl Urban one. Screw Stallone and that adaption.

Man from U.N.C.L.E - Henry Cavill as a dapper spy is a befitting role for him.

 

I don't know if it's obscure, but The Believer (which I think is Ryan Gosling's first starring role) is one of my favorite movies of all time.

 

Pure - Kiera Knightly - Drama (2002) - Early 2000's British drama
Fateless - Drama (2005) - Hungarian Holocaust drama (Daniel Craig makes a cameo as an American soldier at the end)

 

An Andalusian Dog "Un Chien Andalou" - involved Salvador Dali - thank you Pixies - weirdest thing I've ever seen.


Danger Diabolik! - Style over substance - late 60's Italian film


Tartakovsky Solaris - morose in the way only Russians can be. No George Clooney, thanks.

...thats off the top of my head.

 

Fun fact: I know the start of Airborne.

 

Don't know how obscure it is since it's got some big-ish names (Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu), but I saw no fanfare at all around Detachment (2012). It only saw a very limited release in theaters, and I saw it like a year later. Liked it a lot.

I seem to remember your great love of Liam Neesen in Cold Pursuit.

Did you know that it is a remake of a Norwegian movie with Stellan Skarsgard in the Liam Neesen role?

 

Yep. Stellan Skarsgard *is* the Scandinavian Liam Neeson.

btw, he's going to be Baron Harkonnen in the new Dune movie.
