I would have to recommend this for obscure

"ALTERED STATES"
A psycho-physiologist doing experiments with human consciousness eventually decides to test his findings on himself. He becomes obsessed with performing these auto-sensory deprivation experiments until he actually changes form physically, ending up as a gorilla at a local zoo. He returns to his normal state, at which point he also involves his wife in the experimentation.

I think there was a time when Altered States had to run on HBO at least 4 times a week. So to me it wasn't obscure because I could never get away from the damn film.
I don't think I ever made it all the way through though.

i've seen altered states -- it is awful

Wheelzie · #**224** 02-10-2007, 05:03 AM

but its obscure though

if you want truly awful obscure films try "Plan 9 from outer Space" Bela Lugosi at his finest lol!

Not a must see, but worth seeing - Videodrome with James Woods

The happiness of the katakuris falls into the obscure bracket in more than one way. Not everyone will have heard of it but should def watch it. One of the most innovative films you'll ever see, a very bizarre mix of comedy, horror and in some parts musical.

You Can Count on Me is a great slice of life piece about a brother and sister, and is well worth seeing.

Not sure if it is obscure or not.

there was a video store in south florida when I was living there called 'Groovy Movies a Go-Go' and they had all kinds of obscure and foreign films.
And then they had one section with some really awful, old horror-type movies. I believe one of them was called, "Invasion of the Double-D Martian Women" or something like that.

84 Charlie MoPic is an incredible movie. it's a fake vietnam documentary that follows a recon team behind enemy lines, shot in blair witch style (it precedes blair witch, though). incredible performances by the actors, and it will leave you shocked and troubled. it's shot on a very low budget--$10k I heard--and hit me way harder than any other war movie.
