I’m a big indie movies watcher so I wouldn’t even know where to start

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.

Garage Days

Garage Days is a 2002 Australian comedy-drama film directed by Alex Proyas and written by Proyas, Dave Warner and Michael Udesky. Garage Days is the story of a young Sydney garage band desperately trying to make it big in the competitive world of rock music. Its soundtrack includes the song “Garage Days” composed by David McCormack and Andrew Lancaster and performed by Katie Noonan. The climax of the film was filmed at the Homebake festival in Sydney in 2001.

CarCdrCons,

Of Unknown Origin (1983). A man becomes destructively obsessed with killing a dangerous rat, which has taken residence in his recently renovated house.

Thanks to Lemmy, I recently watched umami’s “Interface”. Beautifully animated surreal adventure. Really enjoyed the weirdness, myself.

Phone Booth

Leviathan,

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.

Netherbeast Incorporated (2007)

No one I know has ever seen this movie. Dave Foley, Darrel Hammond, and uh… Steve from Blue’s Clues… in a delightfully weird vampire office comedy.

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.

  1. The Day the Earth Stopped (2010)
  2. Wan ling xing shi / Voyage of the Dead (1954)
  3. Ezra: Fear of a Faceless God (2009)
  4. The Naked Cosmos (2005)
  5. Samurai Bells of Death (1979)
  6. Here’s Johnny (2008)
  7. Du hang da bao king / Magnificent Chivalry (1971)
  8. Guan dong wu ta xia / Five Kung Fu Daredevil Heroes (1977)
  9. Ninja in Ancient China (1979)
  10. Mao shan dao shi / Demon Strike (1979)
Blaze,

Thanks!

It’s kinda cheating relying on HK/Chinese films but I am surprised by Naked Cosmos - I am sure I have it on DVD.

morphballganon,

Not counting the ones made by family members, Forbidden Zone.

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.

CarCdrCons,

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.

EVERGREEN,

Not sure they are what you’d call “obscure” but ones I don’t know anyone else who has seen them:

Clan of the Cavebear and Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS

FarFarAway,

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.

Leviathan,

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.

EVERGREEN,

That’s awesome!

RagnarokOnline,

Got two for you:

Dogman: www.imdb.com/title/tt6768578/Italian movie about a meek dog groomer. My friend and I still quote “SEE-MOE-NAY” to each other at least once a week.

Memories of Murder: m.imdb.com/title/tt0353969/Cop thriller about corrupt cops trying to track down a serial killer.

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.

Pronell,

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.
