Best unpopular movie?

Spaceballs. One of the funniest comedies I've ever seen.

I also find that, despite the cult following of the parodies, Downfall itself is a great movie.

Also, I enjoyed Atlantis: the Lost Empire. A change of pace from most Disney movies.

Ahahahaha.

So that means that I am allowed to kill babies, raze settlements, sexually abuse young women (Yes, Frollo did that in the book) and purge the "heretics" just because I oppose magic?

It does not make the rest of the stuff right.

ATLANTIS IS AWESOME.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
THERE WAS ONLY 1 ATLANTIS MOVIE AND IT WAS AMAZING.

Rubber (I've watched it three times) and John Dies at the End, though the second half sucked.

Is that the one about the tire going around killing people? That was crazy... but pretty entertaining.

Did the second half suck because John died at the end?

Only entertaining once for the sheer wtf factor.

Oh, okay. I hadn't seen that one, so I didn't know for sure.

Skeletons the British film from 2010 is worth a look.

Mary and Max.

Made me cry* when I watched it on a flight to Australia.

*Granted, I was perhaps a couple years short of my current age and I'm diagnosed as being autistic, so the story probably hit home more for me than it might to other people. Still seems like it was really critically well received regardless and... well, I don't think I know anyone who's seen it before, though I never asked, so perhaps it counts.

I also like Into the Storm. I have a copy of it.

Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain is also a cracking film if you can find it.

What's the criteria for "unpopular" we're using? A lot of the films mentioned thus far have received poor critical review or performed sh!ttily at the box office, but still have solid cult followings or experienced some sort of critical renaissance years after its release.

The Adventures of Mark Twain was a 1985 film that spawned this infamous mindfu@k (seriously, don't go do some not drugs and watch this). The whole film's actually pretty entertaining, if not bizarre and unnerving. I think it's available to stream someplace after a Google search or two.

I thought it was pretty good. It was probably a bit tough for people to stand since it was so perverse and the kid was a massive shit the whole movie.

well, yeah, but it's not meant to taken entirely seriously. It is a dark comedy, after all

though I can see some people not seeing a movie that revolves around auto-erotic asphyxiation

By unpopular, I mean there isn't a big group of people screaming its names.
If it has good reviews but basically no fanbase, that is unpopular.

I suppose that means:
A. Failure at box office
B. Critical acclaim

Hence why I abstained from putting a more recent movie, like Whiplash (Which I have seen) in: It may become a big box office smash (Or, at the least, profitable)

Mary and Max has, to my knowledge, been critically acclaimed, but failed to get a cult following or a good box office, so it seems to fit into this criteria.

Unpopular in this case means:
Nearly no fanbase, but it can have critical acclaim.
So Troll 1 and 2 (for example) are not unpopular in this case.

Pluto Nash

It really wasn't that bad.

So… does HTTYD 2 count as a good unpopular movie? As far as I know, its only fan bases are on Tumblr and Berk's Forumvine.

Best unpopular movie?
