obscure MUST SEE movies

"Ghost Dog- Forest Whitaker as an inner city Samurai hit man, up against the Public Enemy spouting mob. His best friend is a Haitian ice cream vendor and neither of them speaks the other's language. It works well."

Ghost Dog was horrible, unwatchable. I am a jim jarmusch fan, but I wouldn't say any of his movies are MUST SEE, since not everyone really enjoys them at all.

"Pi is my favorite Darren Aronofsky film. Shot in black and white, it's extremely thought-provoking (it made my brain hurt when I first saw it) and very well executed."

Pi was an excellent movie, even though the math doesn't make sense. Not for everyone though. Also has an excellent soundtrack by aphex twin.

"City of Lost Children :
Nominated for a Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival, this sci-fi fairy tale features stunning visuals from directors Jean-Pierr"

Incredible visuals.

Brazil is a movie not yet mentioned here, not sure how obscure it is though. A Terry Gilliam film with Jonathan Pryce, Robert Deniro. Tons of awesome scenes and quotes, totally absurd. For anyone who has seen it, the torturer with the baby mask would make a great halloween costume. Takes place in the future, where a fascist government controls all, rebels blow stuff up, and the general populace kind of ignores it. That provides the backdrop to Jonathan Pryce's obsession with some random chick, who turns out to be a terrorist. Now that I think about it, thats the plot to Equilibrium, except this movie is very funny and good, and doesn't have a stupid ending.
