Juror#8 Posted July 11, 2016 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."

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 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.

Birdman won Best Picture. How could that be considered obscure?

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.

plenzmd1 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) SongCatcher I liked this movie..was attracted at first to the soundtrack, but really liked the movie as well . If you like Bluegrass/Irish you will love this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210299/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt Edited July 12, 2016 by plenzmd1

Jon in Pasadena Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Just saw "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel" and thought it was pretty funny.
