Although I´m not really sure if it´s an obscure movie,
I really enjoyed GUMMO by Harmony Korine.

I´m a bit surprised no one hasn´t mentioned it yet.

That movie's pretty awful and not even close to "must see". "KIDS" is way way better but still not "must see".

advice for future posts:

if a movie is listed here, especially towards the top, then it likely is not obscure.

Saw a movie called Medium Cool for a film class I took one summer during high school. It is this weird mix of drama/documentary taking place during 1968, focusing on the Democratic Convention in Chicago that year. I haven't seen it since, so I might feel differently now, but I was absolutely blown away by it at age 17. At the very least, it's worth seeing for any modern U.S. history buff.

I didn't remember that I had seen this until I looked it up, and I agree that it is a very good movie about the 1968 riots and it is also legitimately obscure (only 714 votes on IMDB).

Some more

Sunday Dinner for a Soldier (1944) - great wartime (life at home) movie

Barfly (1987)- Mickey Rourke's best performance as Charles Bukowski

In Cold Blood (1967)- excellent adaptation of Truman Capote's real-life crime novel

Evil Roy Slade (1972) - one of the funniest movies ever made.

Wake in Fright (Outback) (1971) - Best Australian film ever made in the opinion of some critics - but very hard to find and has not been widely viewed since it's release.

A couple of movies that I think not enough people have seen:

Le Grand Bleu, Luc Besson's early work before he started making total crap.

Buffalo Soldiers, a recent movie which didn't get a whole lot of commercial success but I would easily put it into my list of greatest ever if i had such a list.

I actually disagree. I believe Festen and M are both on that list and I would guess that far fewer than 1% of people on this board have seen either one.
