Film review: Skeletons | Film | The Guardian

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Machinist.

13 (Tzameti) (2005) or the remake with Ray Winston (2010) is very good choice

Also 13: Game of death is very good too.

Definitely Tzameti (2005)

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

The Coen Brothers' most overlooked work, Miller's Crossing, is sufficiently mainstream to appeal to most people but way too little known for such a piece of filmmaking brilliance, particularly when far inferior work of theirs is much better known.

[The Large One]

My favourite - Rififi Chez les Hommes (1955)

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

[dannyboy]

perhaps not so obscure but 2 very good thrillers

the town
the lincoln lawyer

 

[Soton Seagull]

Things to do in Denver when you're Dead

I'd second City of God - amazing film

The Pianist

 

[VeronaSeagull]

Not particularly obscure but V for Vendetta

 

[Gordon Bennett]

The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)
El secreto de sus ojos (original title)

It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film so don't know if it counts as obscure.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

For a fiver on scAmazon for both Mesrine 1 and 2 starring the wonderful Vincent Cassell you'd be mad not too. True story of a gangster who became a French legend.

Maria Full of Grace - Great film about Columbian drug mules. £3.49 on scAmazon - you'd be even crazier not to.

Echo the comments above about Animal Kingdom - quite simply one of the greatest films I have ever seen.
