What was an obscure movie?

[Zappy]

… That you watched.

In my opinion the Prestige was extremely confusing.

You?

Normally I’d say 5 Centimeters Per Second, The Place Promised in Our Early Days, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, but people here actually watch Japanese movies, so they no longer count. Other than that, I saw 500 Days of Summer (limited viewing), and it was one of the best romantic comedies I’ve ever seen. Other possibly obscure movies I’ve seen include Sense and Sensibility, this one Italian movie about some poet who was exiled to some podunk island off the coast of Italy, and several movies in Spanish (for Spanish class) whose names I never bothered remembering. One was about illegal immigrants, the other about revolution in Guatemala.

Also, I’ve seen the Prestige; it was really good.

Nausicaa isn’t obscure at all, I’VE watched it xD

If you’re on VuTales, you don’t represent the average American. It’s an animated movie, originally in Japanese. Most Americans don’t consider watching anything close to that. With online gaming comes more openness to Asian cultures (since lots of our games come from there). It’s no coincidence you see more anime watchers/manga readers on video game sites than anywhere else on the web (aside from anime/manga forums themselves).

haha i Saw 5cm and Promised place. They definitely took a little longer to understand, but once you do, they are really good movies.

I don’t online game, or read very much manga. The closet I come to online gaming is things like OMGPOP.com :/
Anime I refuse to watch, because of crappy subtitles/voice subbing.
And I’m Canadian xD

A lot of anime nowadays are just recycled generic crap… I’ve given up on it. 🙁

But 5cm was good, had AWESOME graphics yah. And the other day I watched Ponyo with my toddler cousins (babysitting ftl), it had great animation and a pleasantly unusual plot. 😀

A rather obscure horror movie I’ve watched:

DEATH TUNNEL.

DON’T WATCH IT

OR YOU’LL FEEL THE SUDDEN NEED TO JUMP DOWN THE DEATH TUNNELLLLLL

The Woman in Black. I’s very rare on VHS and DVD, and it’s not put onto DVD any more (and I assume not shown on TV) because of legal issues.

I saw this one movie about soccer and the women weren’t allowed to watch and they snuck in (trying to act like boys) and they all end up together with stories as they try to escape and watch the game. I have no idea if it’s obscure but I don’t know anyone else who watched it.

I watched this one frenchish movie titled blue…or something like that o;

I assumed you played online games because this site is the successor of MMOTales.com, a website based around MMO game blogging. I apologize. Still, I stand behind my point. The great majority of people haven’t seen any of those movies. Conduct a random poll if you want (don’t ask your friends, as they share similar interests). Also, Nasuicaa is technically anime.

Quality subtitles just take a bit of looking for. It’s very rare I can’t find a good sub.

@Reve: Yeah, most of it sucks, but that’s how it’s always been. Typically there are 1-2 amazing shows each season (this last season it was Bakemonogatori and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0; the season before that it was Eden of the East; the season before that it was Casshern Sins and ToraDora). There are always a few diamonds buried in the rough.

@tartar sorry to be a dick but it’s spelled poll not pole
=/

Lost in Translation was odd to me. I didn’t get it. Then again, I was young when I watched it.
