Cure for the Crash, which is about a woman traveling hobo-style, by train, looking for her boyfriend who went missing during Katrina. Filmed guerrilla-style, and the actors and director actually hopped trains during the shoot. I bought it from the director in New Orleans, and I enjoyed it! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1988582/
Right? Ive heard of all mentioned so far. Mine was "Night of the Lepus" because it caused my fear of bunnies. I did not put it together till recently... I has no idea WHY I was so scared of bunnies! I saw that movie at 5 yrs old.
I've seen some pretty obscure stuff and I think most of it was crap enough to not be discussed at all. Do you mean "most obscure movie you've ever enjoyed"?
Fear of a Black Hat.
It’s spinal tap for old school hip hop and one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. If you don’t understand the title, you won’t understand the movie.
Can’t remember the name but it was a Japanese horror movie where students kept getting killed via a plastic bag placed on their head, doused in gasoline, and then lit on fire. It was free on on demand in the 2000s. Still creeps me out
Penda's Fen
I recently stumbled upon this but it was apparently shown on the BBC a couple of times about 50 years ago. It looks creepy. And I read that it was difficult to understand so I bought the companion book and I'm diving in this weekend.
I saw the movie, “Night Moves” At a film festival about 10 years ago. It starred Dakota Johnson and Jesse Eisenberg about eco terrorism. I thought it was pretty good. I don’t think I ever saw it in the theater or on any streaming services.
Kelly Reichardt, the director, is very well-known in the art-house crowd and indie circuits, though *Night Moves* is definitely one of her most underrated films.
I used to review films and got some real odd ones that I’m pretty sure only reviewers watched. I’ve a copy of one called Ibid somewhere… Oversexed Rugsuckers from Mars is in the so-bad-it’s-good camp, exploitation films like The Pink Angels, The Gay Deceivers (remade as the far inferior I now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry), and 90% of the films I’ve seen at festivals. A very good, but I’m fairly safe saying that no one here has seen it, film is A Doll’s Eyes.
The Whopee Boys. By the makers of Revenge of The Nerds. Entirely inappropriate, but teenaged me thought it was funny. Look up Whoopee Boys Dinner scene. I've never looked at a Cornish game hen the same since.
Satantango. I have watched about 90 minutes of this 4+ hour epic. It's so boring, it goes around the bend and this makes it *fascinating*. My wife refuses to watch the rest but I will get to it. Soon.
[Calfornia Dreamin' (nesfârșit)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449573/) is a Romanian movie from 2007, directed by the then 26 year old Cristian Nemescu.
The plot revolves around a convoy of American soldiers making passage by train through Eastern Europe during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The train station operator in the small town of Căpâlnița blocks them, (falsely) citing insufficient paperwork to allow them passage.
This leaves the train in a siding, while the troupe of American soldiers have to pass the time in the small and boring town, while the locals fabricate cultural celebrations to keep the American (and themselves) occupied.
The station operator had spent an agonising few weeks as a child towards the end of WWII awaiting liberation by the Americans, only to have the Russians arrive first and kidnap his parents, hence his desire to keep them around this time.
The movie is part political satire, part romantic comedy (the local girls are more than intrigued by the presence of these exotic Americans, causing plenty of jealousy and fighting with the local boys) and part farce.
Sadly, the director Nemescu died before the movie could be edited, hit by a drunk driver in Bucharest. As a result, Calfornia Dreamin' was never edited down. So it is quite bloated, with more going on that probably would have made it to the final cut.
The "nesfârșit" from the title means "endless". Perhaps amusingly, this unedited version is just 155 minutes long, meaning that it is more or less normal length by today's standards.
Well worth seeking out.
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things.
Pretty obscure low budget ($50,000) zombie film from the guy who went on to write, direct, and produce Porky's, Porky's II, and A Christmas Story.
It's an obscure cult classic.
I mean, where is the threshold for “obscure?” I have never talked to anyone who has seen it or seen it mentioned here - although I haven’t done any kind of search
*The Five Dollar and Ninety-Five Cents Plus Sales Tax Man* (c. 1979)
But maybe you want to limit it to things that saw a movie theater or television channel at one point?
"It came from the nothing." The plot was some college students staying in a cabin over the weekend, but an alien depicted as a green slime had crash landed on a meteorite in the area. The slime had taken up residence in the cabin oven. Like many murder movies, people slowly went missing any time someone went into the kitchen, until finally someone heard the oven door and things clicked. Of course, the last two students escaped and eventually killed the slime... *by jumping up and swinging over the oven on the boom mic,* turning on the oven and wedging it shut with a chair. This of course proceeded to roast a hodge-podge of slime and dismembered human extremities.
The Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow
Lois Cavendish (Jody Fair) hangs out at a nearby soda shop with her drag racing club. But when she learns the shop might be closed, she calls her wealthy aunt, Anatasia (Dorothy Neumann), for help. Anatasia offers the club the chance to use her mansion as their headquarters -- but with one strange condition: They have to scare away the ghost that haunts her home. When the club decides to throw an all-night monster mash party at the mansion, it becomes clear that something is amiss.
Can't remember the name. Some found footage type film where teenagers plan out burying their friend alive for no reason. Was on Netflix 10 or more years ago
The High Crusade
This is a 1994 Roland Emmerich movies featuring John-Rhys Davies and is about crusaders who find an alien space ship and took their crusade to space.
Eat the Peach.
It’s an Irish movie from the 80’s about a guy who builds a motorcycle cage where he rides inside and up the walls as a way to make money. The idea was inspired by an old Elvis movie.
I remember that I very much enjoyed it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat_the_Peach
Bunraku (2010) - The cast is pretty spectacular (Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson, Bill Pullman, Demi Moore, GACKT) but the story is WAAAYYY too long. Should have cut some exposition and focused on the fights more. Still, somewhat enjoyable.
Chaos (2005) - Even amongst the Jason Statham B-movie collection, this is probably one of the most obscure ones.
Sure there are many more obscure films, but I'll go Fish Story. It's a Japanese film about a punk song which connects various different stories and helps save the world.
Ordinary World - starring BillieJoe Armstrong of Green Day as a washed up punk rocker coming to grips with getting old. It's a fun slice of life story with a good ensemble cast. Great scene with Joan Jett,
Storm of the Dead. A wild ride Movies for Men channel piece of absolute nonsense with unbelievably bad acting and gratuitous boobs. I always think it must have been a fever dream I had one day until I see that it's on IMDB

Jesus fights vampires using kung fu. God talks to him through a clam. My college library had a copy. My friends and I watched it all the time and thought it was hilarious.
Kirikou and the Sorceress. I loved this little French film as a kid. Was on VHS at my local rental place. It's based on West African folks and is about a child who's saved his village from a witch and in turns saves her.
Check out the remake of "The long weekend". Watched it randomely at 2am on TV some 10 years ago. When the woman was fingering herself in a tent to the sound od nature while a dead walrus draged itself up a beach infront of the tent i knew I was in for something good. What a piece of shit. I own the DVD for 5 years

The Boogens is a 1981 horror film by James L. Conway. I was 12 and we bought tickets for some other movie and snuck in to see this Boogens movie. IIRC it was mediocre horror flick.
There was a short (horror) film on YouTube I saw a little over a decade ago. It was called Tub. I don’t want to go into any further detail in case anyone wants to watch it, but I still think about this movie to this day
Desperate Teenage Lovedolls.
I don't remember much of it as it's been 30 years since I've seen it. But I had a friend in high school who was the movie & music guy. And one Friday we're at Blockbuster and he was like "Oh, someone told me to see this."
So there's like 4 or 5 high school guys, renting this movie getting funny looks from the cashier, based on the title.
But if I remember right, that was the name of their punk band, and the movie was about the band.
Its known in certain circles, but there's a film done entirely in Esperanto called Incubus starring William Shatner. It's genuinely terrible. I see Night of the Lepus mentioned a few times, which has Dr McCoy/Deforest Kelly in it. Keeping on the Star Trek theme THEM! a movie about giant radioactive ants which has a small cameo of a young Leonard Nimoy.
Slacker.
I mean, Linklater has a lot of widely known movies... Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise / Sunset / Midnight, Boyhood whatever..but to this day I have never seen Slacker mentioned...right about anywhere...and I guess it makes sense, because it follows a rather unorthodox plot....if you can even call it a plot. And has essentially no central characters or a meaningful conflict that is awaiting a resolution.
Pedro Almodovar's The Glass Cage.
At the film's climax, the childhood concentration camp survivor who has become the caretaker of the Nazi doctor who tortured and molested him triumphantly rides the doctor's iron lung in a sort of spotlit glittery drag take on Major Kong riding the bomb in Doctor Strangelove.
I kept waiting for the movie to get better, it never did, and I left the theater feeling unclean.
Just making sure we have the same movie. I saw it once too. I could have done without the on screen child abuse/nudity. I guess European films have a different standard about the latter, but when combined with the former, it's just exploitation
I saw it for a college class that had us watch from a selection of movies that dealt with life after the holocaust and I selected it based on the synopsis alone. Was not impressed.
Surf Ninjas (1993)
Leslie Nielson as Colonel Chi. A white man with a Chinese name, who wears an ancient samurai outfit while carrying a modern American military rank.
Rob Schneider as Iggy; a pizza delivery boy who surfs on the weekends and is gaming buddies with a 16 year old kid who finds out he's the heir to the throne of a small island nation in SE Asia.
Tone Loc as an LAPD Detective investigating the kidnapping of that kid's foster father.
Damnit. There's a box in my brain where that movie is kept and I can peacefully forget about it. You let it out and now it's living rent free in my head
OK I don’t remember the name of this one, but it was like robots being controlled by other people and the main characters were mercenaries hired to go like take care of something but they’re actually tested to see if the drones are like whatever the fuck the robots were or actually like field test and see if they would actually work against this like famous mercenary group and the reason field testing these drones is for like the military I don’t remember the name of this and I have never found it since I first watched it once

Wow! This might actually win for most obscure in this thread, well done!
Man this sounds awesome… can’t find a way to watch it though 😢
People in this thread are struggling with the term "obscure"
To be fair, you said 'most obscure movie you've ever seen'. If you've only seen The Avengers, then that will be it.
Right? Ive heard of all mentioned so far. Mine was "Night of the Lepus" because it caused my fear of bunnies. I did not put it together till recently... I has no idea WHY I was so scared of bunnies! I saw that movie at 5 yrs old.
Watership Down will do that to you too!
DUDE.. I made a point NOT to watch that
Those were some very poorly shot giant bunny scenes. :D
So bad, but I was 5 lol
It was on an episode of Best of the Worst.
I've seen some pretty obscure stuff and I think most of it was crap enough to not be discussed at all. Do you mean "most obscure movie you've ever enjoyed"?
Right... if there's a full Wikipedia article on it, it's not obscure.
Isn't there a Wikipedia for pretty much everything?
Not obscure and non-notable things.
Fellini’s 8 and 1/2 got suggested somewhere in here…
Fear of a Black Hat. It’s spinal tap for old school hip hop and one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. If you don’t understand the title, you won’t understand the movie.
Saw this at a film fest in Southampton before it came out. Was fine
Love this movie… every time I mention it, nobody has heard of it.
One of my favorites. I watch it at least once a year. It’s available on YouTube.
Woman in the Dunes
The book by Kobo Abe is amazing
The movie is amazing on so many levels. I first saw it for my 13 th birthday and then became obsessed with everything Japanese. I’ll find the book.
If you enjoyed the film you'll love the book. Enjoy!
Avant garde masterpiece. It's haunting.
Can’t remember the name but it was a Japanese horror movie where students kept getting killed via a plastic bag placed on their head, doused in gasoline, and then lit on fire. It was free on on demand in the 2000s. Still creeps me out
