A lot of good ones mentioned so far.

Ill add "The Warriors" released about 1980 about gangs in NY. Dont miss it if you get a chance to see or rent it.

I want to see this...it's the Brazilian kid gangster movie, right?

Judging from the responses I got from a pic I posted in another thread, I'd say lot's of people haven't seen Sexy Beast.

Yes it is. Great movie. Sexy Beast was OK for me :)

Narc

The Bad Lieutenant

To this day that movie still freaks me out.

My vote is for Ginger Snaps. Damn good werewolf movie IMO.

seen it, didn't understand it

I saw it and I didn't understand either, but I don't care. It was still a great movie.

Umm... Guy, those are all classics. And only the first one and second last haven't been remade. (Originals still the best). Hell, I know a lot of people that have seen them.

You've obviously never read any other movie poll on this site. Damn near everyone and his brother has seen these movies!

I've been wanting to see Remo Williams ever since I saw it reviewed on badmovies.org! Very happy it's been rerelased on DVD.

Equilibrium, definetly!! A little thin on plot, but still a wicked action movie. Very cool fight sequences, especially the few at the end. Highly underrated and underpromoted.

*High-fives Kaervak* My man! Finally, someone else who agrees Ginger Snaps rocks! What did you think of the remake of Night of the Living Dead? I liked that ending much better.

*Smacks hypersonic5 upside the head* Hardware?! That movie was SOOOOO Gawd-awful it's not even funny!!! The innitial idea was interesting, but the execution, acting, sets, and overall movie were utterly horrid! *Retch*

The Tremors series, especially movies 2 and 3, is also true for obscure movies. Not the craziest about the series, and am annoyed I missed the finalie. :frown:

For my own unique selections:

Six-String Samurai is a great, totally obscure one. Just saw that a little while ago. 60s rock and roll combined with Honk Kong sword fights. Gotta love a movie where a Buddy Holly look-alike takes out the last remnents of the Russian army with just a homemade katana. And where Death comes complete with his own heavy metal band.

Tron. Many have heard of it, few have seen it. A nifty movie, no question. Very cool to see pioneering computer FX.

Trancers. I'm a big B-movie fan, and Full Moon provided lots of great stuff before folding. Tim Thomerson as a man from the future sent to the 80s to kill time traveling vampires :D

They're making a sequel and prequel for Ginger Snaps. Do yourself a favor and get the Collector's Edition of it. Widescreen, tons of extras and two commentaries. The sequel looks good as does the prequel. The remake of Night of The Living Dead wasn't that bad. It lost a bit of it's scare the sh!t out of you factor with the makeup/effects in it, but still pretty good.
