It would probably be some of the more obscure chopsocky kung fu films I own...there are some I've purchased from dollar stores and taped from TV that aren't even listed on the IMDB.

Dr Caligari from 1989

I own that too!  That movie is obscure but shouldn't be.  It's just that it's sold exclusively off a porn website and the owner isn't interested in marketing it at all.

The movie is freaky, and I don't see why anyone would consider it porn. A scene with a huge tongue licking a woman reminds me of the movie Videodrome.

It was directed by a porn director.  The producer who held the rights to the movie went on to found the Excalibur website, which became the biggest adult retailer on the web.  He offers DR. CALIGARI exclusively through his website and basically seems to have forgotten about it.  Very few people realize it's available there.

How about Al Adamson's Icy Death (1978) aka Death Dimension? Pretty obscure I guess.

Not obscure so much as hard as hell to find.  His movies need to be re-released through a single company so you know you are getting decent copies.  Where is Synapse Films when you need them?

I own a VHS copy of Twice Upon a Time (1983). I've tried to talk it up on this site several times, but it is hard to find, not released on dvd, and oddly animated. Outstanding movie, though.

Then there's The Princess Blade, aka Shura Yukihime, a halfway decent martial arts/sci-fi movie.

I also own some more well-known obscurities (on this site, at least), like The Godmonster of Indian Flats, For Y'ur Height Only, Shakes the Clown, and The Dark Backward (sorry for reminding you of this one, Andrew  :tongueout: )..

I wouldn't say they were obscure at all.

I thought the sequels to The Howling were obscure. Nevertheless, I don't fully understand the meaning of the word.
