Barbarian Invasions

The plot revolves around the character Rémy's battle with terminal cancer, and his estranged son's efforts, after reluctantly returning from London at the request of Remy's ex-wife Louise, to make his dying father more comfortable in his last days.

i just saw this movie on IFC and i agree that it is an excellent film. to me it represented an almost ideal life that a person can hope to have, if we try our best, and have a little luck.

Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

Filmed in the Canadian Arctic, it is an amazing film that works both as a work of fiction and a documentary. The story has everything- romance, murder, suspense, legend, sex, and one of the best chase scenes ever (without explosions or overwhelming music, just a man running barefoot across the ice.) But the most affecting part of the film is how it shows the life of the Inuit tribe and how incredibly different their culture is from anything we know. It is like visiting another planet.

My America...Or Honk If You Love Buddha. The best documentary I have ever seen. I've only seen it once on TV and it's only available on VHS and I've never seen it referenced anywhere else.

Also this thread is probably more enjoyable as a discussion of obscure movies you've seen than a recommendation thread for obscure movies.

Yes the movie Brazil is awesome.

As well as the amazing city of god (this movie will blow you away)

And from the same director as Brazil, check out twelve monkies. Another great movie!

It appears no Tarkovsky movies have been listed, so I would have to nominate Stalker, from 1979 which is amazing. Solaris (the original) is also a fantastic film.

Cool thread I'll definitely check out some of these movies.

I don't know if I'd call it a must see, but The Conversation is a nice little movie starring Gene Hackman and written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola. It really left me uneasy after seeing it and I couldn't really pinpoint why.

This is one of my favorites. It was nominated for Best Picture the same year as Godfather II, giving Coppola two of the five nominees.

Some people really have a different definition of obscure to me... Having said that, Bernard and the Genie. It's great

A Boy and His Dog - Awesome movie with a really young Don Johnson and a dog that talks to him in his head and can sniff out women in a post-apocalyptic world.

Easily a top ten SciFi movie.

Except absolutely not and terribly hacky.

But the best ending ever - --------------------
