also i loved trees lounge, i think written and produced by steve buscemi, sort of about his life on long island before acting.

these may not be obscure but no one i know of has seen these.

also like hurlyburly, used to be a play but went to the screen with chazz, kevin spacey, sean penn, robin wright, gary shandling, and anna paquin. great dialogue. very transcendent

anybody seen these or please drop your fave obscure movies...i always like to find new things

things to do in denver when youre dead i liked, not obscure i guess

"Memento" was a pretty obscure movie that i liked, its about a guy searching for his wifes killer, but he suffers from extreme short term memory loss.

Good topic cheech, movies dont always have to be blockbusters to be enjoyable.

great movie, plays backwards, right???, mind fuck...i loved it

honestly if its a blockbuster movie it makes me not want to watch it...dont get me wrong there are some that are good but i find them few and far between...i like the movie Argo recently. not much else. wolf of wall street i thought wasnt that good, same with american hustle...im more apt to see independent flicks. but even those recently havent been that great...

A foreign movie called Z

Rolling thunder with tommy lee jones kicks ass

Kronos I loved that piece of crap

The brain from planet Aros starring John agar snort piece of crap I dug

The unbearible lightness of being starring daniel Lewis. I really liked that movie I am not sure why but I liked it.

The wolf of wall street I did not like. What was all the sex about doesn't everybody do coke out of hot womens asses.

The sex looked very faked especially by Leo. On the plane and even with the super hot actress that played his wife. What's a matter with him she could not give him a real hard on?

I liked Boiler room a lot better.

i concur, boiler room was waaay better

"True Confessions," with Robert DiNiro, Robert Duvall, Charles Durning and Rose DeGregorio, is the most underappreciated great movie of the Eighties.

But I don't have to tell you that the book was even better .

Monsignor if you can find it made in 1982 stared christopher Reeve, Joey pants, joe cortese, Fernando Rey from the French connection

throw something out there PB...and not an obscure Cagney movie from 1932

MADE IT MA!

Okay, how about the '70s?

"The Seven Ups," with Roy Scheider. Best car chase scene EVER.

"The Lords of Flatbush," Stallone, Fonzie and a young John Gotti (I mean Armand Assante ).

The 7 ups movie had a friend of ours in it. Look it up Bennie Marino. He was also in the French connection. That movie had the best car chase of all time.

Roy Scheider was not a nice guy. I met him once he was so rude I told him the shark should have ate you.

I saw the lords of Flatbush more then once. I don't remember see assante in that movie for some reason

Lords of flatbush was good, never seen the seven ups

I liked the Lords of Flatbush. I always liked that line from Stallone (paraphrase) "He's the guy whose gonna tell me to beat you up."
I also like City Across the River about the Amboy Dukes. I remember reading and liking the novel.

Seconded; I wrote about that here.

Fun movie. I always thought that Perry King (one of the Lords) was the best actor of the bunch.

THe scene in which Stallone threatens the jewelry store owner was absolutely hilarious.

What I liked most, though, about the movie was that my brother's best friend played the part of Mike Mambo, the guy in the pool hall (from the Avenue J gang).

mean streets is always over looked, some parts where cheesy (the fight sen in the pool hall..."whats a mook"
but it was good...their whole world was 5 blocks

That's the first movie I ever saw actor David Proval.

OK, mentioning David Proval and thinking of obscure movies, I am reminded of a wonderful little movie - "Nunzio". It stars Proval as a slightly retarded (sorry, no pc) kid who likes to dress up as a superhero. If it ever comes around on tv you guys MUST watch it.

Many years ago, Proval dated a friend of mine from Lawrence, Long Island. She told me he's a really sweet and down to earth guy, and a very devout Jew who will often turn down good money to film on Jewish holidays (as I type this, I'm reminded of Sandy Koufax's refusal to pitch on Yom Kippur). You have to respect that, no matter what your faith .

I friended him on Facebook when he first took an account there and had a few conversations with him. He DEFINITELY appears to be down to earth!!!

Now, speaking to you, pb, and in this thread, I'm reminded of another good movie which fits here - "Bloodbrothers" starring Richard Gere. Paul Sorvino plays Gere's uncle and Tony LoBianco plays his dad and both of them were absolutely awesome in this movie about an Italian family in the Bronx. If you've never seen it you MUST get it somewhere!!

I've seen it, SC. I'm a huge fan of Richard Price, who wrote the book. Price also gave us one of our other favorites in "The Wanderers."

But back to "Bloodbrothers," and why that book resonates with me. In the novel, the character of Stony (played by Gere in the film) graduated Mount Saint Michael in 1975. I graduated the Mount in 1977. And being that the entire book was set in Co Op City, it hit that much closer to home.

What I'm saying is, read the book. It's back in print: http://www.amazon.com/Bloodbrothers-A-No...dbrothers+prics

Already have the book

I shoulda known!

Wow. It was my first Price book I ever read. Wound up reading everything he wrote. Hands down my favorite author. Didn't know there was a movie! Shame on Cheech!

It resonated with me as I worked construction with my dad from 19-22 yr old. Local 33 pipe insulators. I learned it wasn't what I wanted to do and I went to community college and got a good environmental job in an office with AC in the summer and heat in the winter. better than being on a ladder

Any way. Great book. Glad this thread has good responses. Thanks to everyone that added on.

White Buffalo is a sleeper. Bronson plays wild bill Hickok going after a white buffalo. Teams up with one eyed Charlie and an Indian. Great flick.

i can't understand how anybody could not like that movie, i loved every second of it. even the sex parts were hilarious…."i banged her brains out…for 11 seconds" a girl that perfect i bet you wouldn't even last half that amount time. and he wasn't doing coke out of her ass, that would be fucked up, he was blowing coke up her ass to make it numb….Im Guessing

Of course you liked it your from New Jersey. Here in NYC we pay New Jersey to accept all our garbage and they love us for it

They really like garbage from Hollywood.

Did you make any money on the wolf of wall street? No right.

Well I made a lot of money backing this,
