    The trilogy Blue, White and Red by Krzysztof Kieslowski are some of my favorites that aren't very well known.
    If you want to check these out, on January 8th the Independent Film Channel is showing all three back-to-back starting 8pm.

    I found this out today because I was furious that I'd missed Master of the Flying Guillotine, which it turns out was showing on the friggin Sundance Channel.

                Caligula is a good one if you're into strange, sexual, dark, etc.
                Anna And The King with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun Fat.

                                Ive seen tons of european unknown movies...great movies but i cant remember the titles :/

                                Anyway must see movies if you want something else than the mainstream blockbusters:

                                La Haine
                                The big blue
                                Virgin Suicides
                                Once were warriors
                                Boys dont cry
                                Ulysses' Gaze

                                            Cold Comfort Farm - pokes gentle fun at the Merchant-Ivory genre, turn of the century novels, etc. If you like the Merchant-Ivory films but also appreciate subtle satire, you'll love it. (Actually it's been a while since I've seen it; it may not be all that subtle.)

                                            Mostly I like mind-fuck-films, so keep 'em coming! (Stir of Echoes, Frequency and The 13th Floor, for examples from the thread.)

                                            (Edited because "obscure" wasn't the right word, and I don't have the right word handy.)

                                                Clerks is my favorite movie of ALL time..it used to be little-known but not any more (she says almost sadly).

                                                    I don't even remember it getting a cinema release in the UK. I hadn't even heard of it before I watched it on a transatlantic flight. It has been on cable a number of times though.

                                                                        To die for (probably over looked )

                                                                        Waiting for Guffman is awesome.


                                                                        Also loved the Man who wasn't there and Secretary.


                                                                        Usually Lions Gates films are the ones that are more obscure but really great. I believe Novacaine was the first one we saw of theirs and every trailer was over the top.

                                                                                                                                Pi also rocks. Anyone here seen, "Alice" or, "The Adventures of Tom Thumb" By Jan Svankmajer? Amazing stuff!.

                                                                                                                                I was at a lan party years ago, when Alice was playing. It was surreal walking into the living room, seeing 10 people all sitting down, quietly watching the movie, nobody talking they were so drawn into the strange film. That is still the only time I have seen such a large group of people watching a movie, where nobody was talking. (Good luck finding the film for rent anywhere, it's pretty rare)

                                                                                                                                http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd

                                                                                                                                Also, Delicatessen is good, as is City of Lost Children. Blockbuster sometimes carries these two movies

                                                                                                                                And don't forget Battle Royale!!! If you haven't seen it, you are REALLY missing out on an awesome movie.
