OK, you want OBSCURE, I will GIVE you obscure:
"
Wheels."
Cut the crap, you never heard of it, neither had I until I went to see it at a film festival. I think it screened ONCE in the U.S., at that film festival, and then the print went back to Serbia.
TOTALLY black comedy, set in a roadside diner in Serbo-Croatia. Guy walks in, people think he's the killer they heard about on the radio. He maintains his innocence, but people keep dying. HILARIOUSLY funny. Take my word for it.
If you want something you can pick up at your local Blockbuster, try "Midnight." Don Ameche, Claudette Colbert, John Barrymore. 1939. Hilarious comedy of mistaken identity. Screenplay by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett ticks along like a Swiss watch. If black-and-white is a dealbreaker forget it, and you probably won't like "International House" either, a little pre-Code nasty with W.C. Fields set in China and featuring a host of radio comedians.
Both available now from Universal.
