Curious to see what niche movies the community knows

Six-String Samurai, imagine if Elvis was literal King of Las Vegas, dies and leaves a power vacuum that send numerous baddies on a mission to become king, and Buddy Holly can not only play the axe, he can handle a katana blade even better. In hindsight this could just be a fallout movie with a few tweaks.
Honorable Mention: Wild Zero, very loud Japanese punk band Guitar Wolf takes on zombies with their instruments and maybe some magic?
Honorable Mention 2: Delivery, a pizza delivery driver is shit on constantly by everyone around him until he snaps and basically kills everyone who fucks with him.
The Red Elvises have Six String Samurai official full movie on their YouTube channel. They appeared in the movie and provided the soundtrack, or at least most of it.
I’ve never heard anyone else ever mention Crossworlds (1996).
For me, probably Incubus, the 1966 Shatner flick filmed in Esperanto https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Incubus_(1966_film)
“A Letter to Dad” with an updated ending shot 10 years later. I would not recommend.
I remember watching Evil Bong (2006) because it was included in a 10-movie horror bundle in a Walmart bin. I don’t know how niche it is, but none of my friends have ever seen it before showing it to them.
I can’t say it’s worth watching, but it certainly exists.
Two movies I don’t think I’ve met anyone who’s seen.
Young Einstein (1988)
Super fun, slightly accurate, biopic.Spaced Invaders (1990)
Not good, but still funny alien invasion movieI seriously feel like I’m the only one who remembers Young Einstein. Glad to see there are two of us.
Three.

I loved it as a kid! Found it a few years ago. I still enjoyed it! But I have to admit it’s kinda insane.

I’ve never seen Young Einstein but I’ll never forget the poster, especially as it starred someone called Yahoo Serious.
I was reminded of the film several years ago when one of my favourite sites ran this article about the actor.
“Street Trash” was one of the movies ever made… if you’re into terrible gross out b-movies it should be at the top of your list
I have seen this on a few lists when searching for body horror movies. It’s also on Tubi, so I’ll have to finally check it out.
Definitely give it a spin!
If you do end up watching it I’d love to hear your impressions afterwards. The movie is fucked hah
Paradise Now is almost like a non-comedic version of Four Lions. Both are worth a watch.
The Tune (1992) by Bill Plympton is definitely an experience. Hausu (1977) is a weird fever dream. Dead In the Water (2006) was co-written & directed by a friend and is a decent indie zombie movie. It was fun seeing his parents cameo as zombies and then have Thanksgiving dinner with them.
Oh I love The Tune. Had it taped once off IFC.
It is admittedly weird.
I love Plympton’s stuff in general, but The Tune is epic. I lucked into a DVD at a used shop years ago and I’m so happy to have it.

Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS
I always get a kick out of seeing this one mentioned. My friend’s uncle was an extra in that one and my friend’s mom lives telling people, punching the story with the title of the film.

My dad loved Clan of the Cavebear. Daryl Hannah was a kick ass. But that’s as much as I remember.
To bad the vcr eats all the old tapes, or I would totally go back and watch it.
I don’t know if it’s obscure, but Psycho Goreman is a fantastic movie and I can’t recommend it enough. Anything by Steven Kostanski, really.
Also Termitator if you speak French and can manage to get a copy is hilarious.
Dunno what you might expect with obscure or niche, but if you’re fishing for random non algorithm suggestions on something you could watch, I’ll give you this: Fantastic Planet (1973)
Interesting, thanks!
I was thinking indeed movies that are usually not well known, and could be interesting to the rest of the community
I looked up the trailer and it’s like if Hieronymus Bosch and Terry Gilliam did a Newgrounds collab. Very weird stuff.
Went to school with the writer/director, so it’s fun for me picking out all the landmarks I recognize. But it’s also a commentary on the play on words of the title. And who doesn’t love a gory zombie movie?
Cool - I enjoyed it.
I dunno about obscure but I owned Meet the Feebles on VHS.
I love telling people it’s by the guy who did Lord of the Rings.
I also subjected my friends to A Boy and his Dog and The Wicker Man without telling them anything about them going in.
They loved both.
I dunno about obscure but I owned Meet the Feebles on VHS.
I saw it in the cinema, my girlfriend was not impressed but I was already a Peter Jackson fan, so I had some idea what I was getting myself into. Talented guy, pity he never made it big.
I’ve seen quite a few via mystery science theater
