Bad Company.
A movie from 1972 with Jeff Bridges about a bunch of kids in the old western days heading west for fame and fortune. Very authentic.

Another one I thought of came out in the 80’s I believe. It’s called “After Hours”. I rarely meet anyone that has ever heard of it. I remember my wife and I watched it, then told all our friends about it and rewatched it over and over with them. Everyone liked it so I don’t know why it never got any attention.
It’s kind of like the movie Pulp Fiction, which you have to see to appreciate, explaining it doesn’t do it justice. As I remember, a guy goes out on a date in NYC and it’s a bust. He tries to go back home to the other side of town, but lost his wallet or keys. Anyway he runs into one oddball character after another, and a series of coincidences happen to prevent him from getting anywhere. You can feel the anxiety build as he tries getting back home, and people trying to help him run him in circles.
Another thing I run into is trying to find copies of some of these movies! If ignored or unknown, hard to find a way to watch it.

I did find a trailer.

A couple of younger guys I work with never heard of it so I showed them some scenes on my smart phone and they were cracking up.

I saw where someone mentioned California Kid with a young Martin Sheen
Mulholland Drive with Dennis Hopper and Harry Hamlin racing down the famous road
Endless Summer about traveling the world chasing the perfect wave
And Frank Zappa’s 1000 Motels if your feeling a little weird

Another oddball movie I remember watching when it came out, then never hearing of it again:
Motel Hell, from 1980. Me and my cousin went to the theater and watched it on someone elses recomendation. A lot of quirky, black comedy.
Paul Linke from C-H-i-Ps was in it.

Cadence with Charlie Sheen and his dad Martin. It starts with Charlie Sheen's character getting drunk and making some bad choices. It must have been a real stretch for old Charlie to make, acting wise

As mentioned earlier Better off Dead is fairly funny,
But IMO Grosse Pointe Blank was better.

Now if I jump into the way back machine, Mr Blandings builds his dream house.
(The original Money Pit!) Dry but for some reason I've always found it funny.

That brings back memories. 1985, saw it on the first date with my future ex-wife. We walked out halfway through it, didn't like it at all. The only other movie that I walked out on was "Transylvania 6-5000" not long after.

My recommended "unknown movie" would be "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!". Black and white cult classic from 1965 that has cars, violence, cleavage and bad acting. Here's the entire movie:

Alex Karras went to Univ of Iowa, most know about his football exploits. BUT Gene Wilder also went to college there, studied acting at their drama school. I wonder if they crossed paths...there
