A great zombie comedy movie that not many people have seen is My Boyfriend's Back.

There are more classic lines about zombies and dead people in that movie than in any other I know of (though that's not saying too much...)

"There's a lot of prejudice against the undead."

I might as well mention its descendant, Idle Hands, but I believe that to be too big to be something 'nobody's heard of.'

Well somebody already tried to pass Time Bandits off as some unknown movie nobody's ever heard of.

Whoops Apocalypse!

"Now, we all know waht causes unemployment... pixies! Why, just the other day, I investigated a factory in Dorest. There were gnomes in the machinery... an infestation of witches... sprites and elves in the roof... all manner of goblinry!"

Highway to Hell: Hellcop, the lumpy faced demonic patrol officer steals some guys girlfriend, he chases after him through American-midwestern desert of Hell. Good bits: the 'Road to Hell Paving Company'; Satan's personality (though not his look... lizard eyes and six tiny horns don't quiet work).

Siege of Precinct 13: Or Assault on Precinct 13. I can't recall which. Low budget John Carpenter 1970's flick, with the skeleton staff of a closing-down precinct fighting off a hoard of suspiciously racially integrated drug crazed gangsters. Looked and played very much like Night of the Living Dead, but with gangsters instead of zombies. Great fun.

Since it has received some Oscar buzz, I am not sure how well known it might be, but be sure and put American Splendor on your must see list. Especially if you are interested in the underground comics scene!

Session 9 creeped me out in a big way when it came out. But it was kind of an indie movie, so not too many people I know have seen it. It's a haunted house-type story about an asbestos crew goes to work on an old rundown psychiatric hospital. Definitely worth a look.

i saw that. i don't like horror movies for the most part, but Session 9 was excellent. good cast and extremely creepy. gave me nightmares.

Probably only seen by hard core John Waters fans (like me). I saw it with only two other people in the audience. A few weeks later, the theater put up a sign saying movies would only be shown if there were at least five people in the audience.

The success of John's first famous film, Pink Flamingos, in the early 1970s helped put a small New York distribution company on the map. Maybe you heard of them--New Line Cinema?

Highway 61 about Corky the Canadian flugelhorn player determined to make it down to New Orleans with a dead body, a strange woman, and possibly being chased by the Devil...

Yes! One of my all-time favorite movies. Quoth Satan:

"You can't cheat at bingo. Believe me. If you could, I would. But you can't. I'm just lucky. Lucky to end up in a town full of losers."

And I really like two of the other three movies you mention, too. I've never heard of Cold Feet; given how good your taste is otherwise, this one's going on my list of movies to rent.
