+1 for The Fall. Although if 3/5 of us have suggested it, maybe it's not that unheard of...
Seriously though, watch it.

Brick - teen crime movie set in modern california but the dialect is 30's gangster
Down By Law - prison movie staring Tom Waits and the guy from beautiful life - totally love it.

Clerks. There used to be a time when nobody had heard of it. Then Kevin Smith hit the big time and I imagine most are aware of it now.

I quite liked Titanic...not sure if many others saw it. The juxtaposition of the cheeky poor Irish scoundrels below decks with the posh folk on the uppers was extraordinary. Watch it.

Tribal, it's a job to come across it. You kinda have to "know" someone who has it. It's like very secret squirrel though. I'll make some enquiries for you ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Taking of Pelham 123 (original - no idea what the new one's like).

Stealing Beauty - bit of Liv Tyler in her youth.... Lovely stuff.

Eraserhead is well known amongst my generation, but the younguns may not have seen it.

Boondocks Saints, best watched with the documentary Overnight, which is the story of how the film got made and about the writer, a former New Orleans barman (and what a knob he is), Willeam DaFoe is excellant in it as is Billy Connelly

City Lights by Charlie Chaplin

He wrote the screenplay, music, directed, edited, cast and stared in it. A fantastic film and still worth seeing.

Run Lola Run. Fantastic soundtrack and visuals. Clever storyline, but not showy. Oh, and Franka Potente.

I watch a lot of independent film...or at least lesser known movies. My all time favourite is PI, superb film about a mathematician that tries to solve pi whilst trying to work out patterns in the stiock market...sounds very dull but its amazing, the cinematography is lush (and in black and white) and the soundtrack is equally as good (featuring the likes of Autehcre, Orbital, Aphex Twin etc...). The same guy who made PI also directed Requiem for a Dream, which is a very, very harsh film to watch, but very good as well. Lost Highway by David Lynch is another firm fave as well as any Troma movies (Cannibal the Musical, The Toxic Avenger, Poultrygesit etc) just for over the top gore and laughs with political satire thrown in for good measure (some of the time)...

Just a few that spring to mind...

Les Visiteurs [Jean Reno. Comedy. Time travelling medieval knight in contemporary France]

Aguirre, The wrath of God. [Werner Herzog dir, Klaus Kinski. Intense study of a Spanish Conquistador's descent into mad-eyed insanity.]

Anything by [url= http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004244/ ]Jacques Tati[/url]. Sublime and hillarious.

Casablanca. Really does need to be seen on the big screen. Amazing.

el Gato Negro, I thought Belleville Rendezvous was fantastic.

187 - Samuel L Jackson, gritty as hell about a teacher in a rough school in the US - probably my favourite film.

SFW - early 90's hostage film, has some great lines.

-1 Brick, I hated that!

My Name is Nobody.

Great minor spgahetti western with Henry Fonda that has a lovely sense of humour and a wonderful soundtrack.

At least I think nobody else has heard of it.

An Australian comedy called "the castle" . A big hit over there, I don't think you can get it on DVD here, I used to have a VHS . It's very funny if you ever see it on late night tv

dust devils,hardware
Got them on a double header VHS tape, not watched them in ages. Harware feautres Carl McCoy of Fields of the Nephilim and Lemmy from Motorhead, I seem to recall

Les Visiteurs
Yep, but not the american remake (also starring Jean Reno)

Nikita, the original french version not the american shot-for-shot remake "the assassin" starring Bridget Fonda

Oh, and a couple of early Peter Jackson films, [i]Bad Taste[/i] and [i]Braindead[/i].

Not watched any of the above in ages, time to break out the video methinks!

Brazil - 1985 Terry Gilliam somehow gets Robert De Niro at the pinnacle of his acting career, and then sticks him in a balaclava so he is unrecognisable for 95% of the movie.. genius ๐Ÿ˜€
