Fair enough - I am new to the board, didn't know M had been the subject of ad nauseum discussion. As you say, we all probably have different ideas about what constitutes 'obscure' movies - I'll bet you could probably site some REAL unknowns if required. Some 70's Russian cinema? Some good films from Iran latley.The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser is probably my favorite Herzog, Fitzcaraldo a close second. Saw a good program on the life of Rainer Werner Fassbinder last Sunday night - he didn't make particularly good films (IMHO) but man, the guy sure could binge.

Follow Ups:
The truth is - most of good classical or just good films are only "obscure" because someone has no inclination to find them. They are out there in force, even the mainstream places like the Amazon are swarming with them. One doesn't even have to pay much - the Used items on Amazon can be had for $7 to $12 or so. There are other places for used tapes too.Don't recall seeing ANY Iranian films, sorry.
Have not seen the Enigma either, not a great fan of Herzog in general. Perhaps should revisit him.
Fassbinder is more to my taste, and also the ones he has written: for instance "Water Drops on Burning Rocks" is one of my all-time favorites.
OK, OK, plus shipping...
