+1 Dafoe and Malkovich are two of my favorite actors and this is some of their best work.

The boys (Aust)
Thank god he met Lizzie (Aust)
The war zone (UK)
Slums of beverly hills (US)

And so many others ... I think Gattaca is underrated, though hardly obscure.

L"Homme Qui Amait Les Femmes (the original The Man Who Loved Women, much better than Alfie)

Someone Behind The Door (Anthony Perkins and Charles Bronson in a tour-de-force character study)

The Long Run (much, much better than the movie about that self-centered twat Prefontaine)

Some really good ones there, but I'd say some of them are pretty well known, like Pleasantville, Logan's Run, Repo Man, Exorcist II, The Boys from Brazil. But I have to ask: UHF? Seriously? I'm a Weird Al fan, and I even have that movie, but it's not a particularly GOOD movie.

i actually really enjoy michael caine, so to say this better than alfie may be a stretch.

I don't know what you are talking about. It's hilarious.

Films by Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, and Krzysztof Kieslowski.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Killer Kane
Castle Keep
Prime Cut

PITAronin · Jan 21, 2010

God, I haven't thought of Prime Cut in years.

For an unknown, twisty Elliot Gould thriller (trust me) try a Canadian film called The Silent Partner.
