Your Favourite Obscure Films

[cynix]

I keep reading this as "Your Favourite Obscene Films", maybe that should be another thread!

[Humpty was pushed]

Old Boy - should be obscure, most Korean films are - but I looked it up after Hoops used the Soundtrack at Scalford a couple of years ago, and it is a work of genius.

[a touch of cloth]

Bubba Ho-Tep. Just for the synopsis if nothing else.

I believe Mega Python vs Gatoroid was a Palme d'Or finalist at Cannes.

The Devils Backbone

[Beckenham]

Nothing obscure in following movies, my favorites and the best ever:

1 - Dancer in the Dark by Lars Von Trier with the colossal Bjork, from Ex-Sugarcubes;
2 - The Zaubberflute in swedish: Trollflojten with music from W.A.Mozart, and a film by Ingmar Bergman;
3 - Trainspotting from Danny Boyle;
4 - The Wall, with music by Pink Floyd, with Bob Geldoff, a Alan Parker film.

Four movies to buy and see now urgently...

The Raid: Redemption

[Hornucopia]

'Diva' by Jean-Jacques Beneix, who also did 'Moon in the gutter'.

Diva is such a great film with scenes I still recall 30 years later. But then, I owned the same Traction Avant Citroen in 1983 as in the film!
Must watch again (it's on DVD)

Yep excellent film, good bit of suspense


An obscure one I like is City of Lost Children. Excellent bit of french cinema in a really eerie steam punky (before steam punk existed) world.

From the same stable, the surreal & macabre Delicatessen

[folkboy]

Dellamorte Dellamore (AKA Cemetary Man) - Italian zombie film with Rupert Everett
The Bird People in China - Takashi Miike film without casual violence and outrageous perversity (eg Audition)
Running on Karma:

A monk turned body-builder, with the gift to see into people's lives, befriends a female cop, and uses his gift to change the force of Karma and her destiny.

Inside Moves

Great feel good movie with John Savage that I think has only just been released to DVD and can't recall ever seeing on TV due to a distribution row. Theres a guy in it with no hands who is the only person ever to win two oscars for the same role.
