Hello everyone. I just joined this forum because I wanted to get some movie recommendations. You see the problem is that although I like movies, I kind of have high standards as to what movies I think are good. I didn't bother watching any of the new X-Men movies for instance, nor the Star Wars prequels. I did watch one of the newer Batman movies that came out with Heath Ledger as the Joker, and though it wasn't quite bad enough for me to walk out of the theater I didn't really care for it and rated it a four out of ten. I think I just don't like the Hollywood formula of taking an already existing franchise and continuing to churn out the same reliable product. Thus I'd thought I'd ask you all to recommend me your favorite obscure or semi-obscure movies, it doesn't have to be something that no one has ever heard of, but not like a Micheal Bay Transformers movie.or something that everyone knows about.
A few of my favorite semi-obscure movies organized by genre are
Horror: Phantasm (1979) Directed and Written by Don Coscarelli.
Drama: Storytelling (2001) Directed and Written by Todd Solondz
Fantasy: Flesh and Blood (1985) Directed by Paul Verhoeven Written by Gerard Soeteman and Paul Verhoeven. Though I don't know if this is a "fantasy" movie really, there are swords and castles in it though.
Science Fiction: Summer Time Machine Blues (2005) Directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro Written by Makota Ueda.
Action: Charlie Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegal Written by John Reese.
