Juror#8 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Might as well have a 2016 edition. I have free time during the summers with vacation and such so I like to binge watch obscure, esoteric, indie, movies. And not just porn ... I went back to the old 2011 topic that I started and the 2013 version and unfortunately they're archived so I couldn't reply as a continuation. If anyone is interested in obscure or indie movies, they should search for it ("Any Obscure Movies ..."). Some folks had some excellent recommendations and my collection grew extensively afterwards. A couple that I've seen recently that I absolutely think are worth mentioning: 1. "Birdman" 2. "Barton Fink" And one of my personal favorites that I've consistently recommended to anyone who wants a good mind screw and ditch the formulaic Hollywoodization of movies - "Primer."

Just watched that one. Sunshine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juror#8 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Just watched that one. Sunshine as well. Would love to hear your thoughts on Primer. By Sunshine are you referring to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? If so, I agree, great movie. Should have led to Carrey getting more serious looks in Hollywood.

LeviF Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I saw "The Lobster" in theatres a couple of weeks ago. Kind of a black comedy/science fiction fusion. I enjoyed it quite a bit. If I can think of any others I've seen recently I'll pop back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) No, sunshine is the title. I really enjoyed Sunshine. It's the movie I always tell people to check out when they're asking for a good, obscure movie. Edited July 11, 2016 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdman won Best Picture. How could that be considered obscure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juror#8 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Birdman won Best Picture. How could that be considered obscure? It's not obscure but it's an indie flick. If you read my opening paragraph and then the old threads on this topic, it's indie, obscure, esoteric, etc. I believe that movies like "Primer" and "Lost Highway" and "The Limey" and "Schizopolis" and "Upstream color" and scores of others have the best content and are more entertaining movie experiences but they don't have the budget to appeal to the majority of the movie watching audience. So that's what this is more about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Amazing movie. Colin Ferrel won a Golden Globe for it CBF By far his best performance to date. He's crazy, but I think he's a fantastic actor when he's sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
