made a list over on the noise fanatics boards of obscure masterpieces at the top of my head. figured someone out there might appreciate my list so here it is:
Actium Maximus: War of the Alien Dinosaurs (you've never seen worse special effects than this; an unintentionally bizarre, amazing film)
Angel Dust
Baby Blood (aka the Evil Within)
Back Against the Wall
Baconhead
Beaver and Buttface

Chaos in Outerspace
Cop
Corndog Man
Crazy Family
Crazy Lips (also see: Gore From Outer Space)
Dandy Dust
Dark Night of the Soul (aka Black Opium Graveyard Man)
