These may not be too obscure, but they were intense and not on the usual suspects list. "Ran" "Hero" "The Usual Suspects" "La fem Nakita" "Blood Simple" | ||

"Quest for Fire" Rae Dawn Chong at her best! And no spoken dialogue, an interesting film. If if you think you're a tough guy, try to get through this one emotionally untouched: "Old Yeller" Jack | ||

Someone has to put in a vote for "Quigley Down Under" great good guy bad guy, and of course the trilogy, "A FistFul of Dollars" "For A Few Dollars More" "The Good, Bad and the Ugly" Clint didn't even need to speak. | ||

Someone has to put in a vote for "Quigley Down Under" +1 for that. | ||

I forgot about two Lane Blacktop! "Make it three large muther fcker and you have yourself an automobile race" I love how you can actually hear the rockcrusher in the incar scenes. I also forgot Spun. It's a drug movie with Mickey Rourke, John Leguizamo and Brittany Murphy. Kinda trippy | ||

Huge movie buff here. I could probably list a couple of hundred, but I'll refrain. Quite a few have already been mentioned anyway. Here are a few great independent films: The Way of the Gun - Writer of The Usual Suspect made this movie independently because no studio would purchase a script with not one single protagonist. Great dialog, weapons and tactics, and dark humor. Very smart film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202677/ The Salton Sea - It's best not to know too much about the film. Great cast, great dialog, some dark humor but mostly a drama. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235737/ Primer - Again, better not to know too much. This is a movie you have to listen to every single word and concentrate as if you were taking a calculus final. Not for everyone, but absolutely brilliant. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/ Thursday - No, not Friday. The writer of Swordfish and Hitman started with this independent film. Great cast (including Paulina Porizkova the SI Swimsuit model), much smarter than his next two films, and very funny. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124901/ +1 for Boondock Saints. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144117/ The Big Lebowski and Fight Club are not independents, but worthy of mention. Three Days of the Condor - Again, not independent, but the best spy movie ever. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073802/ | ||

I don't know how obscure it is, but "Breaking Away" was always high on my list of favorite movies. | ||

+1 Quest for Fire Can't get much more obscure than that! And no dialogue! +2 For "Quigley Down Under"! As for Spaghetti westerns..."The Outlaw Josey Wales" Mels original movie... "The Road Warrior"! And everyones favorite (OK, at least here)... "The Worlds Fastest Indian" Hopkins at his best (as far as I'm concerned)! | ||

The BOONDOCK SAINTS +million googlepex to infinty. My favorite movie ever, own three copies of the DVD. The first copy we had to order special because you could not find it in any store. Now you can get it just about any where. Deleted scenes are the best! (the one with the bigger D*ck) | ||
| Cityxslicker |
It just came out, but it was only playing in one theater for more than a weak. Sean Penn musta pi$$ed off somebody. "Into the Wild" worth a look if you can find it. It is on my dvd to get list. | ||

I just picked up, after looking for a while to get a good deal on it, the DVD version of the 1977 classic, starring James Brolin. THE CAR  Great Movie!!!! | ||
| Sleez |

Good for a no think sunday........ "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" "Bullitt" "Blue Thunder" Kinda givin' my age away..... | ||
| Jackbequick |
"..the outlaw josey whales ..." Oh yeah! I forgot that one! It is Josey Wales actually. :>) The wisdom and dignity of Chief Dan George as Lone Watie was a wonderful performance. Check out some of his character's memorable dialogues here: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0014622/quotes That one is for sure going back on my netfix list just for a glorious, uninterrupted by commercials, cold winter day replay. With popcorn too. Jack | ||

Schaun of the Dead? The key to enjoy a movie is to go in with low expectations |
