Curious to see what niche movies the community knows

That’s one hell of an unsafe Google!
Dunno what you might expect with obscure or niche, but if you’re fishing for random non algorithm suggestions on something you could watch, I’ll give you this: Fantastic Planet (1973)

Interesting, thanks!
I was thinking indeed movies that are usually not well known, and could be interesting to the rest of the community
Netherbeast Incorporated (2007)
No one I know has ever seen this movie. Dave Foley, Darrel Hammond, and uh… Steve from Blue’s Clues… in a delightfully weird vampire office comedy.
Not the most obscure but i never would have watched it if not for my Goth friend in high school
Not counting the ones made by family members, Forbidden Zone.
I dunno about obscure but I owned Meet the Feebles on VHS.
I love telling people it’s by the guy who did Lord of the Rings.
I also subjected my friends to A Boy and his Dog and The Wicker Man without telling them anything about them going in.
They loved both.
I dunno about obscure but I owned Meet the Feebles on VHS.
I saw it in the cinema, my girlfriend was not impressed but I was already a Peter Jackson fan, so I had some idea what I was getting myself into. Talented guy, pity he never made it big.
One at random that I enjoyed that I don’t think is well known is “God Bless America (2012)”.
The title might be misleading, so I’ll say that it is not a religious or patriotic film.
Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, great movie!
Two movies I don’t think I’ve met anyone who’s seen.
Young Einstein (1988)
Super fun, slightly accurate, biopic.Spaced Invaders (1990)
Not good, but still funny alien invasion movieI seriously feel like I’m the only one who remembers Young Einstein. Glad to see there are two of us.

I loved it as a kid! Found it a few years ago. I still enjoyed it! But I have to admit it’s kinda insane.
I’ve never seen Young Einstein but I’ll never forget the poster, especially as it starred someone called Yahoo Serious.
I was reminded of the film several years ago when one of my favourite sites ran this article about the actor.
Six-String Samurai, imagine if Elvis was literal King of Las Vegas, dies and leaves a power vacuum that send numerous baddies on a mission to become king, and Buddy Holly can not only play the axe, he can handle a katana blade even better. In hindsight this could just be a fallout movie with a few tweaks.
Honorable Mention: Wild Zero, very loud Japanese punk band Guitar Wolf takes on zombies with their instruments and maybe some magic?
Honorable Mention 2: Delivery, a pizza delivery driver is shit on constantly by everyone around him until he snaps and basically kills everyone who fucks with him.
The Red Elvises have Six String Samurai official full movie on their YouTube channel. They appeared in the movie and provided the soundtrack, or at least most of it.
Paradise Now is almost like a non-comedic version of Four Lions. Both are worth a watch.
I don’t know if it’s obscure, but Psycho Goreman is a fantastic movie and I can’t recommend it enough. Anything by Steven Kostanski, really.
Also Termitator if you speak French and can manage to get a copy is hilarious.
An Argentinian Sci fi movie called Moebius. Broke my fucking teenage mind. The theme still is relevant and the msssage is more sound than ever.
Garage Days
Garage Days is a 2002 Australian comedy-drama film directed by Alex Proyas and written by Proyas, Dave Warner and Michael Udesky. Garage Days is the story of a young Sydney garage band desperately trying to make it big in the competitive world of rock music. Its soundtrack includes the song “Garage Days” composed by David McCormack and Andrew Lancaster and performed by Katie Noonan. The climax of the film was filmed at the Homebake festival in Sydney in 2001.
The Tune (1992) by Bill Plympton is definitely an experience. Hausu (1977) is a weird fever dream. Dead In the Water (2006) was co-written & directed by a friend and is a decent indie zombie movie. It was fun seeing his parents cameo as zombies and then have Thanksgiving dinner with them.
Oh I love The Tune. Had it taped once off IFC.
It is admittedly weird.
I love Plympton’s stuff in general, but The Tune is epic. I lucked into a DVD at a used shop years ago and I’m so happy to have it.
