I watched this film about ten years ago called "Leningrad Cowboys Go America" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097728/). It was released in 1989, but I didn't watch until I saw it on IFC in like '96. It's very dry humor, but I'm not sure if it's everyone's taste. That's why I made this thread.
If there's a movie, so obscure that you enjoy, tell us about it.

I'm not familiar with Hartley's films. What kinds of movies does he generally make? Or is he random with what he does?
Hmm...in general I'd say there's nothing that most of his films tend to be "about", though a lot of them feature quirky people. The thing that sticks to mind in his films for me is the odd way in which people talk...it's this strange combination of a feeling that you're watching a play being made into a movie, and of kind of halting, overly thought-out speech. At first it feels really strange to watch and it throws you off, but once you get used to it it's really neat. I've loved almost every single one of his movies.
And PRockGirlScout, The Last Supper is a friggin awesome movie. I love it when other people have heard of it!
I'm not sure what constitutes an obscure movie, mostly because a lot of the people I know never hear of anything that isn't given a major theatrical release.
