Your favourite obscure film (that nobody else has even seen)

I've had a special place for Jodorowsky - how great is "El Topo"? Not to mention the awesome classic "Sante Sangre"! "Holy Mountain" is a bucket of shit, unfortunately, but worth it for a laugh.

Anyone seen that? About that device that goes on your head and records your experiences for others to live through. Fucked up movie.

Good movie. Not too obscure, but a good movie.

Basquiat and "Quitting". Both grade A films. The first one is about the artist Jean Michelle Basquiat (aka Samo), his rise to the heights of the art world and then how he fell. Quitting is a japanese movie about a heroin addict and his battle to stay clean. He plays the role as HIMSELF, a struggling actor looking for purpose that eventually turns to heroin. Everyone in the movie is played by themselfs including his parents and freinds. Another cool tidbit is that the entire movie (save the outdoor scenes) is filmed on one big interconnected stage set and if I am not mistaken it has been preformed live.
 
Another film I absolutly adore is 'Sonatine', a japanese gangster movie featuring the legendary Takeshi Kitano. (AKA Beat Takeshi) An interesting plot featuring a group of yakuza gangsters who head to the beach to lay low after some action. They reconnect with the innocence of childhood but at the same time are still the hardened gangsters they always were. This music and ambiance in this movie is simply brilliant. I especially liked how the director manages to capture the 'feel' of being on a deserted coast in Japan, kicking it with your gangster buddies and just having a good time so well.
 
i saw basquiat so long ago now that my memory of it is very hazy, still, i do remember that i liked it. definitely a movie that i need to pick up again sometime.


i watched tarkovsky's andrei rublev a few weeks ago now after someones recommandation, and i enjoyed it, but it's not an easy movie to watch, especially because of the time and place in which it was set (15th century russia).

this is an exert from the blurb:

widely regarded as tarkovsky's finest film, 'andrei rublev' charts the life of the great icon painter through a turbulent period of 15th century russian history, which was marked by endless fighting between the rival princes and tatar invasions. made on an epic scale, it does not flinch from portraying the savagery of the time, from which almost inexplicably, the serenity of rublev's art arose...

as i said not an easy film to watch becasue of how far removed we all are from that culture and time, but i did find it interesting all the same.

beautifully shot movie.
 
Gosford Park is a favorite. So is Remains of the Day, and the Age of Innocence starring Michelle Pfeiffer , Winona Ryder and Daniel day Lewis....not too many peopl e know Scorcese directed that one either...its been one of my faves for a LONG TIME =D
 
true romance - not enough people have seen this movie. it's so freakin awesome, and it's a tarantino flick. boy, does shit hit the fan!
