    anything by al adamson jr.
    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0011467/

    tarantino rips this guy off just about every movie in at least one scene. scalping in inglorious basterds? al adamson has scalping in almost every movie, whether its a western or not. very pulp fiction flick- Psycho A Go-Go
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134915/

    its not just tarantino, Rush Hour is very similar to Dynamite Brothers.
    which rules.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132933/
    and though i haven't seen it yet "Brain of Blood" sounds delicious.


    DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN WILL BLOW YOUR MIND
    it is wonderful and kind of my favorite of his horror stuff.

    Thanks Pickleloaf (and others) for the MoM recommendation! I just finished watching it and, though, it took me a little bit to get into, it was amazing! Especially loved the ending.

    I think I'm going to have to start seeking out more Kang-ho Song films.... loved him in the "Host" and "Thirst." btw, has anyone seen "Joheunnom nabbeunnom isanghannom?" This one looks interesting.

    Also, rented "Kitchen Stories" last week and thoroughly enjoyed it too.

    I'm just going to continue down the thread and rent 'em as they're listed! ;)

    Oh, and I'll throw out a recommendation that I haven't seen mentioned yet: "Tokyo!" (short films by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Joon-ho Bong)

    You mean The Good, The Bad & The Weird..? ;) It's insane fun, kept reminding me of that wonderful old Sammo Hung/Yuen Biao film Millionaire's Express. Definitely Korean blockbuster entertainment at its finest, I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed!

    And I really enjoyed Tokyo!, too, the Carax episode is mindblowing to say the least.

    Also highly recommended: the films of Toshiaki Toyoda, probably my favourite contemporary Japanese director. Try Pornostar, Blue Spring or 9 Souls for starters...

    This info hails form a thread I started back in the summer of 2008, so I decided to revise it for 2010 with all the members recommendations. Feel free to do with it what you will and ENJOY! *Drano, feel free to add it to the OP

    Obscure or not, have fun on IMDB choosing your next rental :)
    Happy holidays, -rby

    Good lord, man! :)

    For my choice, I'm suggesting Ink. I finally watched it this weekend and really enjoyed it.
