Best obscure movie

What Happened Was...

 

Any obscure movies on Netflix or Amazon Prime worth checking out? I need to broaden my horizon.

 

Fandango
Brazil
Man Bites Dog
Krull
Cloak and Dagger

 

Thank you for reminding me about Fandango. I used to watch it almost once a year, but somehow over time I'd kind of forgotten about it. That movie is fantastic.

Some other kind of classic obscure movies would be almost anything in the Hal Hartley collection. I would say particularly Trust and Unbelievable Truth.

 

I pledged a frat my 2nd semester at UT, spring '94. We were required to watch that movie and then, as a pledge class, recreate that road trip. That was the best thing about my 3 semesters in a frat at UT.

 

Run Lola Run, Tree’s Lounge, Layer Cake, Control, Basketball Diaries, Harold and Maude.

 

I think have been unfairly harsh on frats. Any frat that did that can't be all bad.

 

Oh it was the ludicrous bullsh!t you'd expect, but it was also pretty great at times (we had full-court hoops in the backyard, I wrecked shop as a kid), until I got tired of it. I can add that to my list of life experiences. For 3 semesters.

 

Basketball Diaries wasn't obscure, Leo and Marky Mark were in it

 

Agreed there were big names. That said it was before Leo blew up and the movie only grossed 2.4 million in the states.

 

Oh and like Donnie Darko was??

 

I find FRIGHTENERS to be one of the more underrated movies



Rocket River

 

Yeah, I remember really liking that, haven't seen it in ages, I wonder if it holds up?

Summer School is a very underrated comedy. Courtney Thorne Smith in a wetsuit for the win.

 

What We Do in the Shadows

John Dies at the End

Odd Thomas

Nothing But Trouble

 

the Double life of Veronique
3 Colors Trilogy Blue/White/Red

 

Sukiyaki Western Django

 

The Virgin Suicides

 

A movie that I never hear discussed but that I really liked is American Ultra. It's on Hulu and Amazon Prime right now.
