Ok so these are the obscure movies that not a lot of people are super familiar with.

1.) Love and Sex (no it's not a porno)

2.) The cell

    Three of my favorite low budget movies are The Man from Earth, Moon, and Primer. They are all fairly dialogue heavy with small casts and philosophical/science discussions.

    Great film...even if it did give me nightmares.

    2.) The cell

    I too have always felt "The Cell" was underrated. Good flick.

    Hmmm not sure if this qualifies as "obscure" but one of my favorite movies of all time is a Korean film called Oldboy. It won tons of awards and was actually pretty well received here in the US too...but I suppose there are still a lot of people who haven't heard of it before since it is a foreign film. I wouldn't suggest it for the faint of heart....or stomach for that matter. It is a pretty hardcore film that can be hard for some to watch.

    *shrug* I don't really know which movies are obscure. I tend to surround myself with groups of people that watch all the same things I do so my idea of what is popular/not popular is kind of skewed.

    I understand that, The cell is one of those movies i can watch 10 times and not get sick of... I'll look up Oldboy I like foreign films a lot. Chinese horror film are my favorite they are always twisted. I dig it.

    Although no obscure I guess I also enjoyed Pans Labyrinth.

    I also loved Oldboy, Moon, and Man from Earth.
    I watch a lot of more obscure films but I can't really bring any to mind right now that I adore..
    One thing I love though- are films with strange sick kind of attractions or characters..such as Shadowboxer. I loved that movie..idk..lots of interesting factors..with the characters, and also I loved Strange Days..I'll take Ralph Fiennes as Lenny any day over his character in the English Patient :]

    Ooo, I thought of another one. Again, not so sure it's obscure but it's certainly a lower budget film. It's called "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel"...it's hilarious. Full of nerdy goodness.

    Is Memento low-budget or did it just seem like it b/c of the cinematography? I love that flick. Keep watching it to put it together in my mind.

    It had a budget of $5 million. That's pretty darn low.
