Most of these aren't foreign or COMPLETELY unknown, but they weren't box office smashes either and most people probably haven't seen them or have forgotten about them, but all really good movies IMO:

Suicide Kings - Hard to call this a dark comedy but god, Walken and Leary make this thriller probably funnier than most comedy movies

Lucky Number Slevin - Watch it all the way through even if you're annoyed by the first half of it - very unique in my opinion in the way it was all laid out and ultimately ended

Phoenix - One of my long-time faves, and you'll see a verrry different Anthony Lapaglia (from Without a Trace) and the sexiest Brittany Murphy you'll ever see, pre-blonde days

Very Bad Things - Verry dark comedy, almost the definition of guilty pleasure

Das Experiment - Based on a true story about a bunch of people volunteering to act out prison life for an experiment...I've only seen this once a long time ago, but it's left a lasting impression, very interesting movie

A Life Less Ordinary - Had to look to make sure this was as little known as I thought because it was advertised a fair amount when it came out, but apparently flopped. Very unique romance movie and actually pretty funny.

Feeling Minnesota - You may not like this but I did, and kind of shows my weird taste in movies because people'd see Keanu and get turned off, but honestly this is kind of like a mild unknown Fargo.

Candy - Very moving drug addiction movie with a great Heath performance - the dude can act

The Illusionist - Don't recall this doing too well in theaters but was pretty cool I thought. Edward Norton good as always.

Reindeer Games - Kind of noir action thriller type. I hate Ben Affleck and this movie did flop but it was pretty solid nonetheless. I can't get into CSI:NY because Gary Senise is such a convincing bad guy that it's hard to see him as a good guy in anything, lol.

Ice Harvest - Another noir action thriller of sorts, kind of like the more noirish slick version of Reindeer Games.

A History Of Violence - Probably the most well-known on this list but felt it should be listed just in case you haven't seen it.

Judgment Night - No, not T2. :P Another movie that without Denis Leary would not have "comedy" in my description of it, but ultimately is probably funnier than a lot of comedy movies thanks to him. Pretty cool old "on the run" action thriller though, definitely makes me make sure I know where I'm driving at all times! Interesting to see Everlast get an acting role albeit a pretty wordless one.

Wicker Park - Interesting romance movie, cool cast, ultimately an overall entertaining pleasurable moviewatching experience.

187 - If you've ever seen Dangerous Minds, this is the Samuel L Jackson take on it, except it's most certainly worth watching while Dangerous Minds...er, isn't. With movies like this, I'd wonder why anyone would ever want to teach high school anywhere let alone a rough area. The Substitute is another good one kind of like this, but is more well known and not as good IMO.
