    Gonna add ELECTION - so realistic! (Matthew Broderick, Reese Witherspoon)

    Also on that note, I agree with the suggestions of Welcome to the Dollhouse and KIDS.

    A lot of you may think this is a strange one to list but "The Searchers" with John Wayne is a great and highly under rated movie. It's his best serious performance ever and the supporting actors are great. The unspoken backstory that's throughout the movie really makes it. YMMV

    I couldn't agree with you more! I hated Westerns until I watched The Searchers!

    Dead Man, actually, really almost all Jim Jarmusch films.

    I mean, how do you not like this dude?

    The Court Jester with Danny Kaye... Angela Lansbury was the young beautiful princess... I still laugh histarically everytime I see it... Unfortunately, it's hard to find and I only have an old VHS copy that is almost beyond ability to watch.

    Yea, verily, yea!

    THEM! is amazing - early scifi thriller that i still love to watch.

    Get Real - coming-of-age gay flick that has some really deep undertones

    Broken Hearts Club - gay romcom that was the first of its kind.

    Mars Attacks - spoof on all of the early scifi movies with pretty much every name in Hollywood showing up in it

    Oh sheesh, almost non of these are available ;( I loved Mars Attacks! Did manage to add Broken Hearts CLub though :)

    "The Fall" (2006) is my favorite film of all time. It was produced by Spike Jones and David Fincher but was directed by Tarsem Singh (The Cell, Immortals). This movie changed my life and I have yet to find any other film like it.

    Well with a review like that I had to add it! Lol

    Lars and the Real Girl

    One of my favorite films of all time. Stunning work by everyone involved, including "Bianca".

    Not obscure, but I can watch Shawshank Redemption any time it's on tv, I've been where they filmed several times for tours.

    Any Tim Burton movie, especially with Johnny Depp.

    Cosmopolis, although it confuses me.

    And since someone mentioned Jim Jarmusch, his latest movie Only Lovers Left Alive is my current favorite
