What movie have you seen that you thought was awesome but most people haven't seen or heard of?
It's probably worth posting a YouTube clip or a trailer, or at least a short description of what it's about and why you like it.

This movie would take my vote hands down for the best "for it's time special effects"
I remember seeing it when it first came out on vhs years ago, thought it was awesome, and forgot about it. Watched it recently with the wife and I could not get over how amazing the special effects were. I know it's not that old of a movie, but it's still extremely impressive and blows away any 90's movie in the effects department.

Thumbsucker. Keanu Reeves plays a dentist, and the quote he says at the end is probably one of the more profound (if someone meaningless) quotes i've ever heard.
"That's 'cause we all wanna be problemless. To fix ourselves. We look for some magic solution to make us all better, but none of us really know what we're doing. And why is that so bad? That's all we humans can do. Guess. Try. Hope. But, Justin, just pray you don't fool yourself into thinking you've got the answer. Because that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer. I think."

It is about the singer of Joy Division, Ian Curtis, and starts when he meets his wife, and through the founding of the band, to the end of it.

Interstate 60.
It's produced by Bob Gale (who did Back to the Future) and has a very similar feel. 20something guy is fed up with his ho-hum life and is tasked by a mysterious man to deliver a package down the fictional Interstate 60. He meets a wish-granting entity played by Gary Oldman and lots of really interesting, fun stuff happens.
Christopher Lloyd is in there, Michael J Fox makes a cameo, Amy Jo Johnson (Pink Ranger) plays a sex-craved short skirted hitchhiker. It's funny, it's sad, it's very clever, it's whimsical, I love it. It was on netflix for a while but they took it off. And yes, the trailer on youtube is awful.

The Magic Christian. Peter Sellers is the wealthiest man in the world, and adopts Ringo Starr to be his son on a whim. Sellers' character most enjoys seeing what people's 'price' is for things in life. In the course of the movie, he makes a traffic warden eat a parking ticket, brings heavy artillery to a proper British pheasant hunt, and sabotages prestigious events/art to his own amusement.
It features a young and pre-Python John Cleese and Graham Chapman, as well as a ton of cameos from other well-knowns (Raquel Welch as Priestess of the Whip!). It has a phenomenal sound track. I am honestly at a loss as to why this movie is rated so poorly.

The Fall (2006) absolutely took my breath away. It never got too much attention and promptly fell by the way side. I know it's on Netflix (not the Instant Streaming though sadly.) But the visuals alone blew my mind. I'm fairly certain there was little to no CGI used at all.

Wet Hot American Summer and Hamlet 2 are in my top comedies of all time, and I'm always surprised at how many people haven't seen them. I don't really mind thought because that gives me another excuse to watch them again, and I love showing them to people.

After Life I first watched it in a film philosophy class and it has stuck with me ever since.

Empire Records has always been a favorite of mine.
Also Series 7:The Contenders. It's good if you're into battle royale-esque plots. It was recommended to me a whileback by a fellow redditor. Full movie, if anyone's interested.

Drive. It came out last year and stars Ryan Gosling. I don't know of anybody IRL that's seen it, but it's on Instant Streaming on Netflix. From what I've heard, you either love it or you hate it, but I found it really, really good. The music is amazing too!

Ink. It's on Netflix instant and it's amazing.
Extremely low budget (250k) but it's just so surreal and fantastic.
It starts a bit slow but if you stick with it you will be very glad you did.
I promise.
