Freedom Writers - Stars Hilary Swank as a school teacher who bring her broken integrated class together and inspires them to be better. Sound abit like Dangerous Minds, but is miles better, pretty sure it's based on a true story as well.

Not a new one but, Kill The Irishman.

Based on the true story of Danny Green who, after rising up the ranks, had multiple attempts upon his life by the Mafia in 1970’s Cleveland.

Not sure what you class as obscure, but

Maudie.

Fair to say, its not an upbeat, jolly sort of film- but like the best stories, its based on the real lives of the turbulent romance between a fishmonger and an undiscovered artist...both of who are rather awkward in life.

The acting is exquisite, the script fantastic, the story a little dark and depressing.

It will certainly make you think and leave a lasting impression if you love the world of arthouse type cinema- its a film you know you've watched, an experience more than a movie.

Think its currently available on Netflix, Paramount or Apple TV (sorry, can't remember which one it popped up on)

"Delicatessen" is a darkly comedic and surreal French film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the story takes place in a crumbling apartment building where a butcher operates a delicatessen on the ground floor. The film follows the lives of the eccentric residents, including a former clown and a tenant named Louison, who becomes the butcher's apprentice. As the plot unfolds, it delves into themes of love, cannibalism, and rebellion against an oppressive society. "Delicatessen" is known for its unique visual style, quirky characters, and satirical commentary on consumerism and societal decay.
