Obscure isn't really the right word but I couldn't think of anything better. I guess I mean little known gems. Anything that isn't overly mainstream, or Oscars material, or well known classics. Even movies that may have been big a few decades ago, but have since drifted into obscurity, such Romero's 'Martin'.

Mine would mostly consist of foreign movies like these:
- Sin Nombre
- Vengo
- Gadjo Dilo
- REC
- Night Watch
- Infernal Affairs
- Inside Man (this could be too mainstream but I just ****ing love this movie, and not enough people know about it)

Probs think of more later.

I couldn't think of any so I'm just going to list some from my IMDb history, with less than 10k votes, because that makes them somewhat obscure right?

Music Within, Day Zero, Pope Dreams, Red, Hallam Foe, Taking Chance, Nobel Son, The Lucky Ones, Bandslam, Manic, December Boys, Snow Angels, Lymelife, Garden Party, Ping Pong Playa (lol), Garden Party & Mysterious Skin, The Go-Getter, Bart Got a Room.

Look them up, most you probably won't be interested in, some that really surprised me when I saw them though, notably Music Within, Taking Chance and Pope Dreams.

They're almost all in the past 5 years.

Ooooo Snow Angels was amazing. Hard to believe the director ended up making such classics like Your Highness. Snow Angels is so ****ing bleak.

Yeah but instead he becomes really good at ping pong from memory, it's so shit, but so funny at the same time.

Weird yep. I can barely remember it tbh, very low key film, does have a positive image in my head though so must have enjoyed it?
