Deadhorse and Suspiria you are fucking nuts! If there is one film with Jim Varney in it that needs to be on the list it needs to be the darkest film he and John R. Cherry III did:

Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam

*Bow*

Ken Russell is such an underrated director. His stuff is great. I'm excited for his next film Moll Flanders.
...and he made The Who's Tommy so thats preaty cool.

Altered States isn't too obscure. Probably one of his better known films, but great nonetheless. If you can find it Ken Russell at the BBC is a great serise also. Very informative.

Psychos in Love immediately comes to mind.  I'm expecting it in the mail any day now.  Ordered it from Amazon, bitches.

Just because I'm a self-promoting whore:

After reading your review, I'm convinced I have to see "Psychos in Love". Any film with an intense hate for grapes as a plot point is something I'd like.

Head - I can't stand Monkees music but this film is so out there and crazy that it makes it all worth while sitting through it.

Elephant - Gus Van Sant

I find I can most identify with Binky LOL

The Salton Sea- a must for any Val Kilmer fan

Return to Paradise- kind of a "before they were famous" drama starting Vince Vaughn and Joaquin phoenix

Clay Pigeons- also starting vaughn and phoenix

Brick

The Lookout

The Believer- Ryan goslings performance is great

Dirty Pretty Things
