(Edited to add the "Before" trilogy... how could I forget those???)
I didn't add the Before trilogy, because I don't consider them obscure, but they detail perhaps the most extraordinary film romance ever crafted. Well the first two I can say for certain as I've not seen Midnight yet.
You need to see it! It was great! I only watched them this year(before the Oscars) because of Midnight's nomination but they were all great!0 -
Kikujiro
Bombon El Perro
Chopper
36 Quai des Orfèvres
Added them all but couldn't find Bombon El Perro looks interesting though.0 -
Here are three movies I liked that none of my friends have ever heard of.
Better Off Dead - 1985 - John Cusak - Very light hearted silly movie
Antwone Fisher - 2002 - Denzil Washington - Heart warming story of overcoming the odds
One From the heart - 1982 - Terri Garr, Raul Julia - Directed by Francis Ford Coppola - Great Soundtrack
Thanks for the suggestions, they have been added0 -
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.
Loved Election, added dollhouse and just saw Kids last week0 -

Confessions
Tyrranosaur
Bad Education and/or the skin I live in
(Almodovar is excellent!)0 -
Immortal - AMAZING CGI
Renaissance - black & white cell shading with voices by Daniel Craig
SLC Punk
And I'll toss another vote out there for The Fall & Grave of the Fireflies.
Added the first two, I've seen SLC and Grave, The Fall was added too0 -
The Station Agent
The Way
Faith, Fraud, and Minimum Wage
Tyrannosaur
Hooray for The Station Agent! Love that film.
Also, for German films Lives of Others is wonderful. Though it should already be on your list.
I didn't know we were doing foreign language or it would have been on there!. Right along with all three of the Trois Couleurs films. And many others.
Can I add another one that probably no one has even heard of? Donny Deckchair. I loved that film.
Of course! Feel free to add more! I've actually got the Three Colors trilogy DVRed now. The 1,001 list only has two of them but I figured I would be best watching all three. I can't find Donny Deckchair though :-/0 -

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.
The Court Jester is one of my all time favorite movies. So very funny.
My list is:
Serenity
Canadian Bacon - this is one of the most underrated movies of all time.
Them
The Blob
The Life of Brian
Attack of the Killer Tomatos
The old Godzilla movies. I also love the Gamera movies.
Old Vincent Price movies - there are so many and most were really good.
Those were a pretty good collection of films! I was glad I asked, can't find Canadian Bacon though :-/0 -
Moonrise Kingdom (although the two kids fondling each other made me queasy)
Thanks For Sharing- Mark Ruffalo and Gwyneth Paltrow were excellent in this movie.
I couldn't agree more! Anything by Wes Anderson is awesome!0 -
What I like about you OP is that it seems you're open to seeing just about anything, no matter the subject. That's a real film lover!0

Miller's Crossing by the Cohen brothers
The Dead, a version of the James Joyce short story
If Lucy Fell
The Field, another Irish movie about the John B. Keane play (who I met at his bar before his passing)
I actually just bought the Cohen Brothers boxset on Blu-Ray not long ago. I've seen all the rest except Miller's Crossing, I guess I have a good reason to watch it now0 -
I haven't read through all these so hopefully I'm not repeating suggestions. I'm more mainstream. Some of my favorite movies are Fight Club, Amelie, The Princess Bride, The Prestige, and The Fifth Element. My husband is a movie buff and has exposed me to some great movies I wouldn't normally watch. Incendies and Tell No One are two foreign films I wouldn't have watched without him suggesting them to me. They were both incredible. He likes one called Enter the Void but I haven't watched it - I can't take too much drug use and the movie basically starts off right away with drugs. It's also pretty abstract and I don't enjoy that kind of thing. He knows me well enough to avoid having me watch things I wouldn't enjoy. That wasn't true early in our relationship when he made me watch Requiem for a Dream. I acknowledge that it's a well made movie but the subject matter is just much too dark and depressing for me. And that last scene...ugh.
I will definitely add the foreign ones I've seen the others but Enter The Void has always looked interesting to me so I'll definitely add that!0 -
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.
ELECTION rules! I loved that movie!0 -
Queen Margot - it's a French film but one of my all time favorite movies. Sex, drama, murder, intrigue, and all the pageantry of a French royal family.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110963/
Thanks! I've got it added! Sounds like fun!0 -
Beautiful Girls
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Have not seen Beautiful Girls - but the other two are favorites of mine as well0 -
Haven't read every post so I'm not sure if these have been mentioned already. My cult favorites would definitely have to be Clue, Empire Records, The Craft, anything Mel Brooks. I could probably keep going if I really thought it about0
-
Not sure if you're a horror fan, but if Wes Craven's New Nightmare isn't one that you've seen before I'd definitely suggest watching the original Nightmare on Elm Street first before viewing.
I love horror! I own the entire NOES franchise on Blu-Ray0 -

Election ,yes, of why did I forget about that one? Never watch it on tv always movie.0 -

Interesting mix! I've added them all, I just hope 2046 is better than In The Mood For Love! lol
Even if you don't like 2046 you can sit with your jaw in your lap because every scene is so beautiful. I hope you do see Uncle Boonmee, love that film so much.
I thought of a couple more:
Holy Motors
Ip Man
Curse of the Golden Flower0 -
Umm the Yellow wallpaper
Labyrinth
Dark crystal
Sadly, The Yellow Wallpaper isn't on Netflix but loved the other two. The Yellow Wallpaper seems interesting, I'll have to hunt it down somewhere.0 -
I've got May on my queue already LOVED City of God! Can't find "La Vie est Belle" anywhere Amelie is in my top five easily!
^^^^
The reason you can't find it is because it is called La Vita E Bella. It is an Italian movie set in WWII. It is a beautiful story; you have to watch in the original format because the language dubbing ruins the movie.0 -
And whomever suggested Angel-A… I you )0
