[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I only watched My Name is Earl because there was literally nothing better on at the time.

Not familiar with the others, though.

My Name is Earl was entertaining enough but I can't imagine bingewatching it.

 

[Draza]

Reno 911 (TV from CC)

 

[Mister Qwerty]

Fishing with John. A 1991 fishing show starring John Lurie.

 

[Lilly Philly Burnelli]

Any Williams Street original cartoon. Their more obscure ones like 12 Oz Mouse and Perfect Hair Forever are fucking hysterical. They are very Lynch-esque so just don’t expect much convential storytelling. This is just one Kiwi’s opinion

Also, OP, I second watching Three Delivery. That and Skyland, another underrated Nicktoons show that time has forgot.

If you liked My Name is Earl there was a Fox show called Raising Hope made by the same guy.
Terriers was an FX show with possibly the worst marketing ever, but it was a solid private detective drama with some dry humor.

Raising Hope was not as good as My Name is Earl. I know Greg Garcia does good, but nothing he does later on will top My Name is Earl.

 

[Dom Cruise]

The Haunting of Julia from 1977 is quite possibly the most underrated horror movie ever made.

It's scary as hell and feels more grounded and believable than most movies about ghosts.

Not really sure if it's considered obscure, but Forensic Files.

Lots of good info to know if you're planning on wasting someone.

 

[The Last Stand]

I liked My Name Is Earl. A man gets in a coma, learns that his life sucks because of his bad decisions, and decides to make amends by making a list of his bad deeds and fixing them.

Home Movies is another obscure TV show. Well, cartoon.

 

[Longjack Attack]

The Shivering Truth on Adult swim.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Vibes - Cyndi Lauper and Jeff Goldblum as psychics in South America. Campy fun shit.

Malice - Creepy thriller starring Bill Pullman, Alec Baldwin, and Nicole Kidman.

Faerie Tale Theatre is not obscure but since I created it for Showtime back then you need to watch it!

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

Obscure?!

Goodbye Uncle Tom (1971) (Directors' Cut w/ Nat Turner scenes)

 

[Officer Eradicate]

Romancing the Stone
The Jewel of the Nile

Razorfist can be an exceptional guy at times, but he's right about Solomon Kane being a decent movie. James Purefoy kicks ass as the conflicted hero, and the movie was made long before wokeness turned every male legacy character into a simp whose job it is to get lectured/schooled by perfect Mary Sue Heroines. Also, the movie keeps its grim tone throughout, and has a real Lovecraft vibe to it - the setting looks like a cursed and fog-shrouded New England (even though the movie takes place in Old England.) The hero is an intolerant Puritan, and is allowed to remain one, as the filmmakers don't try to subvert this by showing him that his belief system is bigoted and evil. Because of this, this movie almost seems like a relic of a time long past, even though it's now only 11 years old or so. People have often compared it to the Monster Mash Van Helsing movie, but the only similarity is in how the heroes dress. Temperamentally, they couldn't be more different.


If you're looking for something REALLY obscure, I'd recommend the film Mysterious Two. It's a failed pilot TV movie from the late 70s/early 80s. You may ask yourself why you'd want to see a middling Movie of the Week from the Era of Shag Carpeting and Corduroy Jeans, but it has a few interesting things going for it. One, it's the only movie based on Marshall Applewhite of the Heaven's Gate cult. But it wasn't made after the cult's mass suicide, but over a decade before! This film was loosely based on Applewhite's days as a hippie space cultist, when he and a female partner named Bonnie Nettles traveled around the country recruiting people for their New Age Space Sciency Belief System (which Applewhite insisted was not a religion.) This belief system would (with the aid of aliens,) help believers transform into the next evolutionary level. Nettles would die of cancer soon after Mysterious Two was made, and Applewhite re-jiggered his belief system until it eventually morphed into the Heaven's Gate Cult. (Interesting note: Mysterious Two was made a year or two after the Jonestown massacre, and it incorporates some still-fresh imagery from that tragedy into the plot of the film.)

Now when I say this film is loosely based on Applewhite and Nettles, I mean very loosely, since the film portrays them as actual aliens who really have superpowers. I don't want to say any more as that would spoil the film, but needless to say, when you see the Mysterious Two recruiting humans into their space cult and luring them into a meeting in the desert, you'll feel an unease that people who watched the original TV movie never felt. This is because you know what became of Applewhite and his followers in real life and how futile the cultist's desire to escape the world and its problems really was. (The movie also ups the creepiness by casting Robert Englund - ol Freddy Krueger himself - as a policeman investigating the cult's activities. Englund would later star as an alien in the "V" miniseries - which had a decidedly unrosy view of alien visitation.)

This film may be hard to find (and the print I can find on Youtube is rather dark,) but it's well worth tracking down for a watch.

Fun fact, the director of that movie trooned out.

 

[Battlecruiser3000ad]

Citizen X (1995 TV movie) about the hunt for the Rostov serial killer. Not exactly obscure, but I've found that my peers haven't seen it. It does have a little bit similar feel to it as the Chernobyl TV series, with the investigators having to deal with politicians, ideology, the Party, to be able to do their job. Some good actors in it too.

 

[K. V. Bones]

Dan Vs.

It would have been one of the best shows if people actually watched it. Got 3 seasons. It was in the shadow of the hubs other shows like my little pony.

 

[M0JY0]

Picnicface. It's a fun sketch based show if you are into that kind of thing.
