Heaven's Gate-Box Office Flop. Epic about the Johnson County Wars w/Kris Kristofferson.
Original "Walking Tall" with Joe Don Baker-Low budget box office smash about real life Tennessee Sheriff, Buford Pusser's fight against the crime syndicate.
Just because a movie is old (The Snake Pit, Gaslight, Rebecca) does not mean it is obscure. All three are major releases with the full backing of the big studio.

During a night out on the town, a bar scuffle breaks out and mistakenly lands them in the county jail. After spending the night in cells joined by a window, they discover that although their personalities are night and day in comparison, they both share personal desires for Auggie's extremely liberated ex-girlfriend, Laina, as well as a desire for the truth. Zeke and Auggie soon find themselves engulfed in local stardom after teaming up in film class for a locally broadcasted mini-documentary that reveals Laina's lesbian life style and Zeke and Auggie's unique interests in her. But that stardom soon places Zeke and Auggie in the greatest struggle of their lives when their second documentary, which exposes a nationally acclaimed professor as a sexual offender..."
