Amazing Underrated Obscure Bizarre Films PART 1
 471  8  7.1 If David Cronenberg, David Lynch and John Cassavetes teamed up to make a drama/horror blend about a divorce of epically fucked up proportions, this would be it. A genius work of pure psychosis.

102 7.1 6.9 Tagline reads: "Be prepared to be blown through the back of the theater!"
Bout right. Avoid all plot summaries. Go into this as ignorant as possible. It'll add a ton to the viewing experience. I still say it's one of the most underrated films of all time.  JayTrotter's rating:
182 7.9 7.3 A beautiful, supremely warped version of Being There.
 JayTrotter's rating:
54 7.8 7.6 A phenomenal Australian film with one incredible sequence, shot, character, etc. after another plus, Donald Pleasance showing up as an alcoholic outback doctor. Considered by many to be the best film to come from Down Under. A true masterpiece of unknown filmmaking.

49 7.3 7.2 Warren Oates might've been the coolest person to ever live. Same goes for this movie.

511 8 7.6 You aint never seen psychedelic visuals like this before! Your mind is about to be penetrated by Alejandro Jodorowsky, baby!
"I ask of film what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs." - AJ  JayTrotter's rating:
38 8.4 6.1 Some of the most fantastic crazy trash Asia has ever produced. Actual dog vs. cat choreographed fight scene is beyond awesome.
 JayTrotter's rating:
72 7.9 7.5 The story of Bob Flanagan, the man who holds the medical record for living the longest with cystic fibrosis, 43, who also happens to be a masochistic performance artist. Ebert called it one of the most agonizing films he's ever seen and it turns out to be my favorite documentary of all time.
 JayTrotter's rating:
73 7.1 6.8 Robert Altman's weirdest and perhaps most imaginative film.
Where's Waldo?  JayTrotter's rating:
313 7 6.8 You haven't truly laughed at a necrophilia joke involving feces until you've seen this dysfunctional masterwork by Takashi Miike.
 JayTrotter's rating:
392 8.1 8 Must see mad man cinema. THEY LITERALLY PULL A SHIP UP A GODDAMN MOUNTAIN! Herzog and Kinski's strongest collaboration of ambivalence.
 JayTrotter's rating:
182 7.8 7.8 Spency Tracy whips so much ass. If you didn't know that then watch this movie and you will.
   JayTrotter's rating:
 
59 7.6 4.4 The greatest bad movie ever made. There is not a single solitary lull in the filmmaking ineptitude. It's breathtaking. Joe Bob Briggs commentary is absolute gold too.
 JayTrotter's rating:
29 8 6.5 One of the most underrated dark comedies...ever. Contains the funniest rape joke...ever.
 JayTrotter's rating:
262 5.6 5.7 Action doesn't get much more over the top, loud, and dumber than this. It is SPECTACULARLY STUPID and then some.
 JayTrotter's rating:
399 7.2 6.9 The best of the recent wave of brutal French horror films. So much wonderful, gruesome stuff in this one. WTF moments a plenty.
 JayTrotter's rating:
69 6.6 6.3 This is what Catch Me If You Can would have looked like if Leonardo Dicaprio's character was a sociopath. Alec Baldwin is cruel and hilarious. Jennifer Jason Leigh is naive and amazing. And Fred MOTHERFUCKING Ward is well, the grooviest man to ever step foot on Earth. Tippy top notch black comedy.

234 6.6 7 Amazing thing after amazing thing after amazing thing, rinse repeat.
 
290 6 6 Starts off so normal then...HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK. Michael Shannon is the real deal.
 
42 5.9 5.5 Absurd n' ambitious violence, buckets of grit, and a truly WTF DID I REALLY JUST SEE THAT? type ending. James Glickenhaus violence is some of the funnest type of violence out there. Sam Elliot tells a great story to Peter Weller about a dog while sitting at a bar too. That's all I'm saying.
    
30 7.2 6.1 Creepy, atmospheric Ozploitation horror with some sweet slow motion scenes of terror. Tarantino has compared it to The Shining.
 
51 7.5 7.4 One of the best old school blood n' guts kung fu flicks ever.
 JayTrotter's rating:
44 7.3 5.8 This is a crappy 80s action flick that'll make you shit your pants brown. Already developed a huge cult following. Budget estimated at $87.31.
 
37 7.2 6.4 Politically incorrect buddy cop movie that rules the planet.
 
37 7.3 7.6 "Twenty-four contestants compete in an endurance/sleep deprivation contest in order to win a brand new Nissan Hardbody truck. The last person to remain standing with his or her hand on the truck wins. An absurd marketing gimmick at first glance, the contest proves to be much more."
One of the greatest documentaries ever filmed.  JayTrotter's rating:
31 8.1 7.1 A buddy comedy like your world has never known. Cult classic to the max.
"My cat can eat a whole watermelon!" - Crispin Glover  
19 8 6.7 Noble Willingham should've gotten an Oscar nomination. Seriously. Best cussing fits of all time. Low budget weird indy filmmaking at its finest.
 
31 5.9 5 John Waters didn't direct this but you'd probably swear in court that he did. Bill Paxton, Judd Nelson and Wayne fucking Newton compromise the main cast, yeah I know, what the shit!? James Caan cameo is one for the wtf ages.
   
89 7.4 7 The first Takashi Miike I ever saw and perhaps still my favorite. It will make your jaw hit the floor and your eyes geyser out of your head. This film is SLATHERED IN LUNACY.
Pussy blow darts. Nuff said.  
197 7.2 7.2 Superbly acted, disturbing, Ben Kingsley, cat n' mouse, psychological, Sigourney Weaver, one setting, Polanski, exhausting. That sums it up.
 
40 6.5 6 Holy crap balls this flick is fucking trashy. It's about a full grown man who is still treated like a newborn baby. Might make you feel all weird n' tingly in a very icky way while watching. Makes for a good double feature with Girly.
 
185 6.6 5.5 Nicolas Cage delivers possibly the most over the top comedic performance in the history of celluloid.
 
81 6.9 7 The first feature film of one of the best filmmakers working today, Joon-Ho Bong(The Host, Memories of Murder, Mother). A dark, bizarre character driven comedy.
 
95 6.9 6.9 A comedy so experimental and creative you'll probably wonder how shit like this even gets made. And from the mind of mainstream Oscar winning director, Steven Soderbergh. Comedic genius in my book.
     JayTrotter's rating:
68 7 6.5 If Lars and the Real Girl was all twisted and disturbing. And a little bit of Psycho to make it extra off-its-rocker.
 
32 7.3 7 Surprising, engrossing, harrowing documentary on internet relationships.
 
14 5 5.6 Lighthearted good ole boys trying to get their train jobs back. Funny as hell with genuine characters and Wilford Brimley!
 
211 7.9 8.1 Watch Coppola go mad on and off the many sets of Apocalypse Now. It's kinda amazing.
 
36 6.3 5.7 Carrying a dead panda through the kitchen is one of my favorite jokes in recent memory. Lemmy of Motorhead and Paul friggin' McCartney even have cameos. And features a great "huh?" kind of an ending.
 
27 8 6.6 Stylized Argento influenced visuals, eclectic soundtrack, sick n' creative murder scenes, beautiful shots of the Arizona landscape, bizarre score by ex-Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, and bad ass David Keith.
Overall, a full blown mess of insanity.    
64 6.9 7 Robert Altman is the director. George Segal and Elliot Gould are the two degenerate gamblers. Spectacular is the flick.
 
44 6.8 6.3 Morgan Freeman as Fast Black is the greatest pimp in cinema history. An Oscar nominated pimp for christsake!
