Lately I've been watching the Movies & Shows channel on jewtube. I keep coming across movies that I didn't even know exist. What are some obscure movies that are worth watching?
The Last Seduction with Linda Fiorentino
I have the DVD but you can watch it at:

there was a period in the late aughts and early teens where a bunch of good semi-mainstream movies came out, but then faded into obscurity. I often think of them because I haven't seen them in forever. prince avalanche, ballast, my son my son what have ye done.
Love this movie. I liked Wes Anderson before it was cool. I didn't even know who he was at the time. My family didn't understand why a ten year old wanted to watch this crap instead of Nickelodeon. They thought it was stupid and inappropriate for my age. Nickelodeon rarely aired reruns of The Adventures of Pete & Pete and there was nothing else like that on tv at the time. This movie though. It was so far ahead of it's time. It got me into Napoleon Dynamite which I introduced to my then friends but none of them even appreciated it until "Vote For Pedro" went mainstream and they all bought the shirt like normies. Both movies started off as short films. Comedy Central started airing Bottle Rocket when I was in high school, so I had a friend who watched it with me and that got him into Wes Anderson. He ended up majoring in film and now owns the Wes Anderson Criterion Collection. The film was a commercial flop but Scorsese said it was in his top ten favorite films of the 90s. This film perfectly encapsulates my remaining adolescence after high school when I romanticized being a professional thief but didn't understand how dangerous and difficult that life could be. Good thing I was never charged with anything or murdered. I used to rob petty drug dealers I had went to school with and did it with such panache that no one would believe them. They didn't even believe it themselves some of the time which led to some pretty comical moments such as holding a guy up in his room just as his dad gets home from work and having to both walk out together acting like you're best of friends so he didn't beat both your asses.

Which I forgot to mention, upon leaving, we both walked down to the newly opened pizza parlor and bought a pizza, arguing over whose money it actually was now and who was actually buying dinner. Then we ended up shoving leftover bread sticks into the exhaust pipes of cars at the nearby gas station as the drivers went inside to pay for their gas. It was a small town nothing much to do but get into trouble.

didnt really enjoy that short tbh, but I might check out the full length feature sometime as I have enjoyed other WA films. Ive seen Grand Budapest, Moonrise Kingdom and The Royal Tenenbuams. One year I will get around to watch Life Aquatic as well. The trailer for The French Dispatch looked good so that too.
