Obsidian Urbex Photography📺 Netflix, Disney+, Prime and still I can't find anything to watch on the old gogglebox. Hit me up with some movie suggestions; I love horror and sci-fi. The more obscure the better. Bonus points if it is 90s and trashy. What should I watch tonight?
Tiago Jacinto@ObsidianUrbex They Live. Total Recall. Starship Troopers.
JeffDark City? Been ages since I've gotten to watch that again.

@ObsidianUrbex I first encountered Spectres of the Spectrum on literal public access cable in Seattle, the "free access" channel anyone could use to put a thing on peoples' televisions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectres_of_the_Spectrum
I remember very little, to be honest, only that it's arty as fuck and kind of a trainwreck and at the same time, more than occasionally, kinda genius.
HashRaydamon@ObsidianUrbex maybe Webmaster? Is a 90's sci-fi movie
sen@ObsidianUrbex Not movies, but have you watched Lexx and Farscape? ‘90s, sci-fi, lots of camp, some trashiness.
Mike McCaffrey@sendai @ObsidianUrbex Farscape is one of the best shows ever made. LEXX is also good, but has a particular weirdness that makes it best watched at 1am.
John van@ObsidianUrbex Love Object
Bob 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦@ObsidianUrbex Ice Pirates
sleet01@bielsubob @ObsidianUrbex When was the last time you saw Ice Pirates? Parts of it have, uh, _not_ aged well.
@sleet01 @ObsidianUrbex About a year ago. And yes, there are parts which would not fly if made today.
Matthew Vernon@ObsidianUrbex Event Horizon? Bonus points for a plot-critical latin pun...
Luc Pestille@ObsidianUrbex 'Underwater' (2020) with Kristen Stewart, ticks a lot of those boxes, and is entirely underrated.
lxskllrBeyond The Black Rainbow is a little different.
@lxskllr @ObsidianUrbex I'm not sure how much I enjoyed watching the movie, but it has one of the best soundtracks ever.
Agreed. I found it "interesting". I don't watch a lot of video, and I especially don't watch movies, but I thought it was notable enough to mention. If it isn't enjoyable, it may be interesting, and sometimes that's ok.
Paper Moon@ObsidianUrbex Peter Jackson's Bad Taste 😀
Marcos@ObsidianUrbex Predestination (2014). It'll bend your brain.

DIRT WIZARD
PuzzledByMuch@ObsidianUrbex Have you seen Babylon 5 yet? I think that is on Prime these days (but with adverts). 90s TV joy. Some duff episodes, but generally fantastic. A series largely about hope, and working together despite differences to overcome tyranny....

I don't think it's possible to find anything more trashy

John Harden@ObsidianUrbex not good but also good https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/nadja
@ObsidianUrbex More to the "'90s trash" spec:
*"In a flooded future London, Detective Harley Stone (Rutger Hauer) hunts a serial killer who murdered his partner and has haunted him ever since — but he soon discovers what he is hunting might not be human."*

retech@giantspecks @ObsidianUrbex That is one of the absolute worst films in scifi ever.
Night of the Comet is my recommendation. Easily the most quotable scifi film ever.
Of course: Repoman, Buckaroo Bonzai, Last Starfighter, They Live, and Videodrome. All are 80's.
I think Time Crimes is 90's, even so, it's a great low budget scifi.
BTW, this shot rocks! It looks a lot like my shop.
@retech oh, it's rotten 😆 @ObsidianUrbex
Bram Meehan@giantspecks @ObsidianUrbex Ah, the ’90s, the era of direct-to-video Rutger Hauer movies. If we were lucky, with Joan Chen.
Tho not heard of this one…
Olivier@ObsidianUrbex as a kid I wasn't much into horror or sci-fi. I used to love fighter planes (and movies). If that tickles your fancy, Iron Eagle (only the first) or Firefox (with Clint Eastwood!) are pretty good.
Hannes@ObsidianUrbex 90s, trash and horror? Psycho Beach Party!
Not so much horror, but a little. But it makes it up in trash!
For some really absurd horror trash: Poultry Geist. Don't read anything about it, just watch it.

The Addiction (1995) - IMDb
The Addiction: Directed by Abel Ferrara. With Lili Taylor, Christopher Walken, Annabella Sciorra, Edie Falco. A New York philosophy grad student turns into a vampire after getting bitten by one, and then tries to come to terms with her new lifestyle and frequent craving for human blood.

Mark Whybird@ObsidianUrbex Erase all expectations off Asimov-ness from your mind - think of the title as being nothing more than coincidence - and then “I, Robot” actually stands up as a quite good movie. Try it!
ErwhⒶnn le Rouge@ObsidianUrbex Phil Tippet's Mad God. Obscure, weird and disturbing.
That's a 2021 film done in stop-motion as if it was pre 90s.
Elyse M Grasso@ObsidianUrbex Have you watched Tremors lately? I need to find time for a rewatch some time soon.
Post Tenebras Lire 📚@ObsidianUrbex "Dark Water" the 2002 japanese movie ( there's a US remake don't watch it go for the Japanese one )

Flash Mob Of One@ObsidianUrbex Are you okay with YT videos? I've made a few movie lists on my channel. And you don't have to watch the whole thing, since I put them in the description.

thesofafox@ObsidianUrbex if it's obscure you want, try Mad God on for size (although not sure what it's streaming on)
ScallopsOlder than ordered, but they are timeless classics:
- Outland, the movie Sean Connery walked out from until they added enough grime to the set.
- THX 1138 (I hope those are the right numbers), G. Lucas' first scifi, an escape from a mind controlling distopia.
