[QUOTE="D+1, post: 1343722, member: 13654"] Note that as indicated in the original post these are not necessarily [I]obscure[/I], just movies that other people seem not to have heard of for various reasons. Let It Ride - Comedy with Richard Dreyfuss, Buster Poindexter, Jennifer Tilly, Teri Garr. "I'm not gambling, I'm WINNING!" Moon Over Parador - Dreyfuss again, and Raul Julia. Dreyfuss is an actor kidnapped and forced to play the part of a dead bannanaland dictator by the head of the secret police. Always - A Spielberg movie that a lot of people seem to have missed entirely. Secret of My Success - Michael J. Fox in his second best movie ever (Back to the Future being #1) Fandango - an unknown early Kevin Costner flick costarring Judd Nelson. Vietnam-era college buddies on a post-graduate road trip. It's a full-length movie built around a student film by director Kevin Reynolds. The Beast - another Kevin Reynolds directed film. A Soviet tank in Afghanistan pursued by Mujahadin. Postcards From The Edge - behind the scenes Hollywood stuff based on Carrie Fishers book. Once Were Warriors - industrial strength depression from New Zealand. Stars Temuera Morrison, better known these days as Jango Fett. The Grifters - neo noir with John Cusack, Angelica Huston, and Annette Bening The Player - More behind the scenes hollywood in a dark comedy/suspense vein. The Man Who Would Be King - Easily overlooked Sean Connery and Michael Caine film based on Rudyard Kiplings story. Breaker Morant - Australians fighting in the Boer War accused of murder. Edward Woodward, Bryan Brown, Jack Thompson. Hope and Glory - John Boormans autobiographical account of the home front in England in WWII. Empire of the Sun - Another often overlooked Spielberg movie about a British kid seperated from his parents when the Japanese capture Shanghai in WWII. Mystery Train - Jim Jarmusch directed. Several stories all set in the same fleabag Memphis hotel on the same night. I'll also second nominations for: Comfort and Joy Local Hero Last Days of Disco Rustlers Rhapsody Night on Earth Into the Night Raising Arizona Repo Man -any movie with Gene Hackman. Edit: added a bit more. I could go on but I think that's enough for now. [/QUOTE]
