not sure what you mean by obscure exactly some of the foreign films except I can't remember the titles of them all 2 favorites are french - joyeaux noel and La Placard (hilarious) a film about a tibetan tribal chief's life as a shepherd a film about a young boy growing up in Iceland an old Sidney Poitier film called A Patch of Blue

Foreign, cult classics, movies that aren't mainstream or easy to come by, is what I mean by obscure. A Patch of Blue is a really good movie. It was a little hard to watch the first time I watched it.

Poitier's films are like that I always admired him but felt he was not an easy man I loved a film called "To Sir With Love" that is another of his I know most of Poitier's films but those 2 are my favorites

I had an incredible crush on Sidney Poitier when he was doing those films in his prime. Raisin in the Sun, then Lilies of the Field I think was his breakthrough. Two Australian films are among the best I've ever seen. Walkabout, which my boyfriend and I saw with Woodstock (this was back when theaters still had double features). I've seen it twice and would gladly see it again. Another one was The Coca-Cola Kid with Eric Roberts, Julia's kid brother. It must have been one of the earliest films he made. It was kind of dark, but nothing like Star 80.

Forbidden Zone is great! I had a boss back in the late 80's who introduced me to a lot of obscure, offbeat flicks. Forbidden Zone was the first of the bunch he loaned to me. Some of my favorites- El Topo Holy Mountain Week End '67 Alphaville Little Fugitive '53 The Exterminating Angel Static '85 Nice Girls Don't Explode My 20th Century The Element Of Crime Mystery Train Rubin And Ed Picnic At Hanging Rock Suburbia '83 Liquid Sky The City of Lost Children Delicatessen The Bed Sitting Room Punishment Park Hal Hartley films(The Unbelievable Truth, Simple Men, Trust, No Such Thing, Henry Fool) Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Mudhoney Black Moon '75

Spirit of the Beehive, is a great movie. Also, you're only the second person other than myself that I know that has seen Forbidden Zone, and Liquid Sky. I think about 5 of those I haven't seen. Oh, one I forgot. Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy.
