    Kinky Boots

    LOVED this movie - kind of awkward w/ the parentals. I don't really like having to explain cross-dressing to my dad :)

    Primer - I am still trying to comprehend all of the timelines! Great movie for a budget of $8000.

    On another note, has anyone been able to see I'm Not Jesus Mommy? It came out near me, but I didn't get to go.

    So many...

    Permanent Record (very early Keanu Reeves)
    Real Genius (of course - that may not count as 'little known', early Val Kilmer)
    One Dark Night (thriller... at least then it was, Meg Tilly)
    Summer Camp Nightmare (lol - she just wants my BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!, beef bologna... Melissa Reeves aka Jennifer Horton on Days of Our Lives)
    My Chauffeur (hilarious - even now, Deborah Foreman)
    April Fool's Day (another Deborah Foreman)

    I could go on and on... I am a movie nerd.

    Angus!

    Only went to VHS but an amazing movie about an overweight teen and his battle with food. Spoiler alert: he has something in common with the home coming queen ;)

    I LOVE this movie!

    the last supper (1995) - very dark, tongue in cheek.

    ghost world (2001) - low key and hilarious

    dead man on campus (1998) - campy, college-ish, *so* not pc

    Short Time with Dabney Coleman -- SO FUNNY -- I laugh during the whole move
    Nearing retirement, Dabney Coleman finds that he has a disease that will kill him within days. He then finds that his life insurance only pays off if he is killed in the line of duty

    I have seen Exam and was not impressed but mostly due to I have seen that storyline played out more than once :( I really enjoyed 11:14 though :D

    Lots of the 80s movies I wouldn't consider little known but that's probably because they were box office hits when they came out. Doesn't mean I don't love the heck out of them:

    Labyrinth
    The Princess Bride
    Better Off Dead
    Buckaroo Bonzai (okay not a hit but definitely a cult classic and I own it)

    My favorite little known movie has to be Deathtrap starring Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve. Lots of twists and turns and funny as heck.

    The Changeling -- with George C. Scott

    This is my favorite scary movie!
  • Little Darlings (Kristy McNicol & Tatem O'Neal)
    The Pirate Movie (Kristy McNichol & Christopher Atkins as the main characters....just for complete silliness)
    Amazing Grace and Chuck (wishful thinking movie.....but a GREAT story)
    Mask (Eric Stoltz and Cher....not Jim Carey....another fantabulous story)
