Curious to see what niche movies the community knows
For me, probably Incubus, the 1966 Shatner flick filmed in Esperanto https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Incubus_(1966_film)
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.
Not counting the ones made by family members, Forbidden Zone.
Paradise Now is almost like a non-comedic version of Four Lions. Both are worth a watch.
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.
Not the most obscure but i never would have watched it if not for my Goth friend in high school
Not sure how obscure it is, but The Lure is a Polish musical about carnivorous mermaids who get jobs in a nightclub. I fucking love it.
The Greasy Strangler had a very minor theatrical release and is a fantastically weird movie I love to recommend.
I recommend this often and my girlfriend and her sister still think I’m a psycho for not only enjoying, but oft recommending, this funny-ass film.
The potato scene kills me, and the car wash screaming, and Hootie-tootie-disco-cutie.
You get it! Sadly the star Michael St. Michael was recently ill and had a GoFundMe, but that did give us the opportunity to view the movie in a limited support screening to help him out. Was worth it to see it again in theater.

haha I was trying to figure out how to write it as well as he says it. P-t-to
I feel I can’t recommend it - if they hate it, they’ll wonder what kind of maniac I thought they were; of they love it, they’ll become worried I might be able to see into their dark soul and try and so they try and kill me. Greasily.
I do try to be careful with recommendations like this, but those that get it are good people.
It definitely separates the sheep from the goats.
I’m a big indie movies watcher so I wouldn’t even know where to start
One at random that I enjoyed that I don’t think is well known is “God Bless America (2012)”.
The title might be misleading, so I’ll say that it is not a religious or patriotic film.
Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, great movie!
“A Letter to Dad” with an updated ending shot 10 years later. I would not recommend.
Of Unknown Origin (1983). A man becomes destructively obsessed with killing a dangerous rat, which has taken residence in his recently renovated house.
Garage Days
