Wet Hot American Summer : This is about a Jewish summer camp in the early 80s. This has all the people from The State, Amy Poehler, Janine Garofalo, and Paul Rudd and Christopher Meloni in their greatest roles ever. I love this movie.

not obscure at all but an awesome movie nonetheless

Sticking with my theme here of French noire:

Riffifi is a stunning good movie that everyone who likes crime movies should see. It features a heist scene of nearly 30 minutes which is in total silence. Such a brave move by the director that totally works.

Brain Candy : This is The Kids in the Hall movie. It is about the creation of an anti-depression drug. It rules.

Agreed. I was lucky enough to see it in the theater; I think it closed midway through opening weekend. Also, ridiculously good soundtrack.

The heist scene is justly famous and has been copied incessantly ever since. This is probably one of the top 5 movies, alltime, on my list.

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

Seconded, of course I know it as The Big Blue, this movie has gorgeous cinematography and Jean Reneu is fantastic in it. I highly recommend this as well.

quids you are an awesome poster. This movie is VERY rad. I met Thomas Jane at an HBO party in Las Vegas and brought this movie up to him and he was blown away that I referenced him. He said they made the movie for about a million bucks. He said that Paula was all that......

Both TJ and the evil old friend in the movie have made quite a name for themselves in Hollywood since "Thursday".

If anyone hasn't seen this movie yet they need to see it, definitely a fantastic flick, not sure if it can be classified as obscure though.

Just caught this bit at the end of the IMDB review: '...be on the lookout for a Hollywood reprise starring Al Pacino and directed by Harold Becker coming out next year in which you can be sure that the violent scenes will be played out in full.'

Guaranteed suckitude.

One of my favorite movies is Dlug ("The Debt"), a Polish film. Two young entrepreneurs in early postcommunist Poland are denied a business loan and turn to a casual acquaintance of one of the men for help. Mob connections and extortion ensue. Good times for all.

not Paul Rudd's greatest role ever at all but an awesome movie nonetheless

fyp, and on a related note, I'll suggest The Shape of Things, based on Neil LaBute's play.
