Heres some somewhat obscure movies that i like of various quality
Candy(2006) I like to watch this one and pretend its' the reason ledger died. it's a drug movie in the trainspotting, requeim, spun category that was popular around the time. It's pretty easy to see what the entire thing goes after like 10 minutes but it's kinda charming to watch these two fall into heroin addiction together. The director definitely went to art school of some kind and is very in love with weird shots that sometimes miss the mark.
Meet Me in St. Louis(1944) One of my favorite musicals. it might be more known than I realized since it was a clue on jeopardy, but I didn't know about it until sometime last year. Amazing sets, fun songs A FRICKING WILD halloween scene (Seriously, at least watch this scene on youtube). Judy Garland lives up to her star power, but a somewhat (ok a lot) incoherent plot leaves a lot to be desired but it's a musical so i mean whatever. Watch it with a girlfriend you'll get points i promise.
Stir of echoes 1999 so forgive me if i'm missing a big one but this movie has the same feel as sixth sense, the others etc that were popular around the time. It's a thriller with a little bit of horror elements. It has kevin bacon being pretty cool. I saw it in theatres when i was 11 and it scared the frick out of me. It's not scary anymore but it holds up imo. Not great. But if you want some background noise or you love KB check it out.
Raising arizona (1987) this one obvi isn't obscure being a coens brothers film but i find a lot of people in the wild haven't seen it. This is a GREAT film. One of my favorite comedies of all time. I remember my mother being excited to show it to me when I was young, like maybe 8 and it was great then and it's even better now. This is the Nicholas Cage role for me. Holly hunter and john goodman are fantastic. I'm not saying this is the best film of all time but only stupid people don't like it.
ok that's all just some movies i think about a lot.
