Hmm...
Kung Fu Hustle
Time Bandits
Lost Highway
Six-String Samurai
Toxic Avenger (I don't think there has been a more terribly B-movie B-movie comedy/horror film than this one)
That's about all I can think of right now.

How are those obscure or unknown? They were both heavily promoted box office failures.
Few people are aware of a pretty sweet little indie film I found once called "Running Time". It stars Bruce Campbell as a bank robber who has just been released from prison, and the events surrounding his "comeback" heist. What I like about it is that it's shot in a similar style as Hitchcock's "Rope". It's made to seem as though it's just one long continuous shot with no cuts. Brilliant, and remarkably underrated movie.

Highway 61
If you haven't seen this movie, you suck. It's not your fault or anything, it's just one of those things that'll you'll have to live with. If you find this on DVD somewhere and post a link, you'll seize to suck.
I really need a copy.
