Forums - General - Obscure movie suggestions

I signed up for Netflix again and I'm looking for obscure movie suggestions... My tastes are a little eccentric. I like a lot of foreign stuff (subtitles don't bother me) and I'm a big fan of Cronenberg and Lynch, if that helps understand my tastes a little better. I also have a huge hard-on for anything by PT Anderson.

Suggestions?

I have no idea what the stuff is you said to help with our suggestions, so I will just suggest my favorite "1776".

Spider Man 3.


That shit is the definition of obscure.

I think you're confusing "obscure" with "shit".

Young Sherlock Holmes. It's an '85 movie that I found to be stupidly funny.

Three Extremes

Its three ~40min films by Japanese director Takashi Miike, Chinese director Fruit Chan and Korean director Chan-wook Park of Oldboy fame.

Overall its a good introduction to that genre of film and those directors, and two of the films are excellent. The only thing that might put you off is the gore and depravity, since it does live up to the title of extreme.

Oh, and it rips off MGS

Finland: Any of Aki Kaurismäki's laconic movies, e.g. Leningrad Cowboys Go America or I Hired a Contract Killer

France: Jean-Pierre Melville's brilliant thriller Le Samouraï

Japan: Takeshi Kitano's beautiful and bittersweet Hana-bi

Brazil: Fernando Mereilles' outstanding City of God (original title: Cidade de Deus), which is by far the best worldwide movie of this decade in my opinion. This movie blows you away.

USA: Darren Aronofsky's Requiem For a Dream; Abel Ferrara's disturbing Bad Lieutenant or his underrated King of New York (with Christopher Walken and Laurence Fishburne); Michael Wadleigh's intelligent horror/thriller Wolfen from 1981 (was on my television just some minutes ago); William Friedkin's To Live and Die in LA  (one of the best and most underrated thrillers of the 80s starring young unknown William Petersen two decades before CSI fame); John Dahl's extremely erotic, clever, mean thriller The Last Seduction (starring adorable Linda Fiorentino).

I suppose you already know some of these movies, so just let me know if I went in the right direction with these recommendations (meaning if they're obscure enough) and I can think of some more.



You're on the right track, okr. City of God was amazing and I'm a big Aronofsky (sp?) fan.
