I can't remember the last time Planes, Trains, and Automobiles came up in a conversation.
It's not a fantastic film but I remember it being pretty good and very well received.

It always stuck in my mind because of the scene where they say "f**k" several times, earning it an R rating.
Just one random scene out of nowhere that got them adult rating.

Gabriel Knight

IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS

To me, the best horror movie and one of the most notable works of Carpenter. I rarely hear it mentioned, and most people I know didn't even watched it.

SUPER TROOPERS

My favorite comedy of all times. I'm still in the mission of finding a single person in real life who actually likes it. I bet that, someday, one random and extremely boring stand-up "comedian" will steal a joke and launch the movie into a more wide audience.

VERY BAD THINGS

This movie is dark and hilarious, and most people never even heard of it.

VAMPIRE'S KISS

One of the best, if not the best, Nicholas Cage movie. I actually read people saying that it is "unintentional funny" when it's oficially labelled as a dark comedy, that's how far its obscurity goes.

ED WOOD

Even when reading lists about Tim Burton and / or Johnny Depp, you won't see this movie listed very often. I think it's because it's a little bit anti-Hollywood, with its message of "you won't become millonarie and famous in your lifetime, even if you try really hard".
Check my crappy and unpopular reviews and ratings:

I thought VAMPIRE'S KISS was hilarious.
ED WOOD? Martin Landau won an Oscar-so, I wouldn't say nobody talks about it...

I don't think the real Ed got screwed because he had no talent- Hollywood is filled to the brim with folks with no talent. But not with directors in the 1950's who open hired homosexual's, cross dressers, and a drug addled Lugosi. And wore angora sweaters on the set. Contrary to popular belief, Lugosi was aware of Ed's odd kinks, just as Ed was aware of Bela's drug habit. But they had a friendship based on desperation.

The Burgomaster

Here are a few:

THE CONVERSATION (1974) - Excellent movie with Gene Hackman as a surveillance expert who records a conversation that makes him question the morality of what he's doing. The supporting cast includes John Cazale, Harrison Ford, Frederick Forrest, Cindy Williams and Robert Duvall (uncredited).

THE WAGES OF FEAR (1953) and the remake SORCERER (1977) - Very suspenseful movies about a bunch of random guys hired to drive trucks full of nitroglycerin across miles of rough terrain in South America to blow out an oil fire. Both are great and I love the endings.

STRAIGHT TIME (1978) - This movie is based on a book written by Eddie Bunker (a real ex-convict who appeared in RESERVOIR DOGS). Dustin Hoffman stars as ex-convict Max Dembo, who is out on parole. His parole officer (M. Emmett Walsh, in one of his best roles) is a real a***ole. The supporting cast includes Gary Busey as a junkie, Harry Dean Stanton, Theresa Russell and Kathy Bates.

THE SILENT PARTNER (1978) - Elliott Gould plays a Canadian bank teller who finds out his bank is about to be robbed, so he takes some money for himself knowing the robber will be blamed for it. The robber (Christopher Plummer, a psycho in a Santa Claus suit) finds out and proceeds to terrorize Gould. The supporting cast includes Susannah York and . . . John Candy!

Both great films!

Fatal attraction

I think this is one of the first movies I saw an "alternate ending" for.
