Exotica (Exotica (1994) - IMDb) A tragedy links the lives of three people together in a surprising way.
The Sweet Hereafter (The Sweet Hereafter (1997) - IMDb) A personal injury lawyer arrives in a small town which is still reeling from a tragic school bus accident, intent on convincing the townspeople to file a lawsuit.
My American Cousin (1985). A 12 year-old girl growing up on a Canadian apple farm in the 1950s is waiting for her life to start. Flawless and beautiful writing and acting. Great music! Not an overblown Hollywood movie. It is a nostalgic gem.
I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) is another fantastic but somewhat unknown movie. Set in Scotland in the 1940's.
OK, maybe I've already made this list (or a similar one) and maybe others have mentioned these, but here goes:
Bagdad Cafe - This is a German made movie but it's in English. Besides the great acting (and a quirky role for Jack Palance!) it also has a very good soundtrack. https://youtu.be/Itb_OQr02wA
Maybe it's not all that obscure, but I'm always surprised when people haven't seen Burn After Reading - my gosh, Brad Pitt is hilarious and WOW you won't expect what happens!: https://youtu.be/sHRT0WcAjdI
OK, this IS obscure, but it's terrific and will tear your heart out - 1918, about the 1918 flu epidemic at the end of WW1 and it's aftermath: https://youtu.be/xLt6X44UsM0
And here's another Horton Foote gem that will break your heart - Robert Duvall is great in this: https://youtu.be/KFdh45kIVyQ
And I don't know why my links aren't showing up as videos. Dang.
Stranger than Paradise is an obscure film I enjoy more and more each time I watch it, as well as Dark City.
Mustang, a Turkish film, just blew me away. If it's still on Netflix it's worth the subtitles.
