Sukiyaki Western Django, a spaghetti western with Quentin Tarantino in it. So out there that it was good.

Sukiyaki Western Django, a spaghetti western with Quentin Tarantino in it. So out there that it was good. Interesting, sounds like a plot in the same style as Yojimbo. Another sorta forgotten one I guess: Papillon |

El Topo (really hard to find, but the bloodiest Western I've EVER seen) No longer hard to find as it's been released on DVD and Blu Ray. |

Eraserhead. Not sure if it was good though

El Topo (really hard to find, but the bloodiest Western I've EVER seen) No longer hard to find as it's been released on DVD and Blu Ray. Cool, only took about 20 years. I made discs for me and all my friends from a BetacamSP master about that long ago (an anamorphic copy, so I could do true 16:9). It even has motion menus and Faroujda enhancements with hand tuned VBR on a scene by scene basis. (but only DD 2.0) Damn, I miss my Sonic HW encoder. It made really pretty video. |

Primer

Five (1951) I think this is one of the earliest of the post-nuclear war films.
The Quiet Earth (1985) New Zealand film about an experiment gone wrong causing everyone to vanish but one of the scientists who was working on the project. Going Back (1984) Nice little indie drama about 2 friends who decide to spend their summer after high school graduation backpacking around Michigan. This is Bruce Campbell's first movie after The Evil Dead. Purple Haze (1982) Set in the late 60's, after being kicked out of college a young man deals with home life and the impending draft. Static (1985) A worker at a crucifix factory creates a device that he claims takes pictures of heaven. Android (1982) A lonely android on a desolate research space station wants to be human. Interesting re working of Frankenstein with a scifi spin. My Friends Need Killing (1976) Vietnam vet snaps and goes after those he served with. Kenny And Company (1976) A great time capsule of childhood in the 70's. Kids just being kids. Written and directed by Don Coscarelli before he made Phantasm. And speaking of Don Coscarelli, his first film: Jim, the World's Greatest (1976) About a high school student trying to take care of his younger brother, and protect him from their alcoholic father (played by the Tall Man himself Angus Scrimm) |

Celia (1989) About a young girl growing up in 1950's Australia. The film gets labeled as horror because of the girl's vivid imagination where she sees creatures. But it really isn't. I'd categorize it as a coming of age film.

You asked for obscure and good movies. Some of the movies previously listed are not obscure. Here are my obscure entries: "Ghost Dog" (with Forrest Whitaker) was excellent and previously listed. "Crimson Rivers" (with Jean Reno and Vincent Cassel) was originally released in French. The second in the series was not so good. "The Station Agent" (with Peter Dinklage, yes, the dwarf in Game of Thrones). |

Forgot 2 more... Maybe that is why they are obscure?
"The Dish" (with Sam Neill) based on a true story. "World's Fastest Indian" (with Sir Anthony Hopkins) also based on a true story. |
