The only one mentioned so far that I have seen is Men at Work. That one was good.
I can't think of very many movies I have seen that might be obscure enough that some haven't heard of them. Of course, I'll think of things later when not here.

The Doom Generation rocks! I've got my hair cut like Rose MacGowen in that film. Here's a couple more:

Dark City
Equilibrium

 

[Linus]

-- American History X

 

[Darkdale]

-- American History X

I love that movie, but I think most people have seen that one by now. Have you seen the 25th Hour? Ed Norton was great in that too.

 

[Cerrax]

Man On Fire

 

[Aqualung]

The Cube. That movie, and Cube 2, were freaky, freaky, freaky!

 

[Popeyesays]

A truly magnificent French movie the only play that I know it had in the United States was back in the seventies when it was released to second-run movie houses as a second feature to go along with the Michael York movie The Four Musketeers - The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob.

There is a chase scene through a bubble gum factory with everyone soaked in brightly colored chicle that must be seen to be believed.
