I'm Sorry to Bother You

The Art Of Self-Defense

Come to Daddy (watching it now - weird!)

Pi

The 1998 debut film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky.

It is a very well-made movie that had a shoestring budget to it.

It's clever with great intensity. Clint Mansell's score is genius!

Well worth the watch!

Dead Heat, Traxx

In Search Of Lovecraft.

A rookie reporter with dreams of having a top career as a newswoman is assigned to working a story about the upcoming Halloween, when by accident she learns that H.P. Lovecraft's fiction is in fact based on reality.
Low budget and not memorable. Still of interest to Lovecraft fans.

Cronos

Guillermo Del Toro's debut film released in 1992.

Spur der Steine: It's an East German film best summed up as, "Yeah, Communism's a great idea, but people can't really live up to that." It has a female lead whose professional life is her priority and a fascinating history of being first encouraged and then suppressed by the party. It's pretty much the only thing to come out of the GDR's film division that's still watched internationally.

El Mariachi

The debut film of writer/director Robert Rodriguez and the first part of his "Mexico Trilogy" that was filmed on a shoestring budget of about $8,000.

Anomalisa; written and directed by Charlie Kaufman.

I watched Eraserhead again recently

Im unsure as to whether this fits into the obscure category though - it's definitely a cult film though

Its interesting to see how some of the references and themes in Lynch's first film keep popping up in his later more mainstream work

Blanca Nieves, a black and white silent film done in 2012, set in Spain in the 1920s/1930s, draws from Disney's Snow White and features bullfighting as a major theme.

Sing Street

Foxcatcher
