Obscure Films You Liked

[Enter Blue Guy]

Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood... otherwise known as just Don't Be A Menace. Make sure you've seen both Boyz N The Hood and Menace II Society before you watch Don't Be A Meanace as it parodies those two films throughout the whole movie.

I bought Session 9 the other day based on comments from here (and the fact that I had always been curious about it), and I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed the movie greatly, and I had this creepy feeling during the movie that I don't feel very often. Heck, the last time I remember ever having that feeling was when I was playing one of the Silent Hill games.

The Wisdom Of Crocodiles. It's a bizarre thriller/horror/crime film with Jude Law, who I normally hate, but I loved him in this role. It also had the guy who played Barry on Auf Weidersen, Pet!

I can't really say much about it without giving it away, but it's incredibly enthralling, brilliantly written and amazingly quotable.

Dirty Work I find is an aquired taste, but I'm a big fan of Norm Macdonald and thus really enjoyed it. Artie Lange, Jack Warden and Chris Farley are all really funny in it, and Adam Sandler, Don Rickles and Chevy Chase all have cameos. It probably would have done well at the box office had Don Omelhyer not practically cancelled all the promotional stops for the tour on NBC because Norm made fun of his buddy OJ Simpson.

I'm not sure if this was obscure everywhere (as it was Australian), but there was a film made a couple years ago called "The Night We Called It A Day". It starred Joel Edgerton, Rose Byrne, Portia De Rossi, Melanie Griffith and Dennis Hopper, with Hopper playing Frank Sinatra on a visit to Australia. I thought it was really funny; the cast was charming and Hopper played a fantastic Sinatra.

Finally, speaking of Sinatra, "Come Blow Your Horn" was on a couple of weeks ago and it's one of his funniest in my opinion. It was based on a broadway hit and features Sinatra both singing and acting in the lead role. Barbara Rush and Jill St John both play eye candy, but the supporting cast's real diamond is Lee J Cobb, who gave a rare yet brilliant comedic performance.

I was going to say "Kissing Jessica Stein", but I guess that's really not that obscure since most followers of Indy films will already know of it.

Not sure if its obscure, but I really liked Big Fish.

Was a good flick, and while it was slow for most it, the ending was great and very fitting.

Not obscure really, but I loved the film, one of my favourites in ages.

[Guest The Dark Vampire]

Midnight Madness I don't even know of anybody else who has heard of it but it was Micheal J Fox's debut

[Toe]

Ever seen Sleepaway Camp?

It's a really cheesy slasher flick that is really funny to watch, with some cool effects, that is full of some 80's sereotypes that make me laugh!

The Ice Storm

In the weekend after thanksgiving 1973 the Hoods are skidding out of control. Benjamin Hood reels from drink to drink, trying not to think about his trouble at the office. His wife, Elena, is reading self help books and losing patience with her husband's lies. Their son, Paul, home for the holidays, escapes to the city to pursue an alluring rich girl from his prep school. And young, budding nymphomaniac, Wendy Hood roams the neighborhood, innocently exploring liquor cabinets and lingerie drawers of her friends' parents, looking for something new. Then an ice storm hits, the worst in a century. Things get bad...
