Got two for you:

Dogman: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6768578/ Italian movie about a meek dog groomer. My friend and I still quote “SEE-MOE-NAY” to each other at least once a week.

Memories of Murder: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0353969/ Cop thriller about corrupt cops trying to track down a serial killer.

Of Unknown Origin (1983). A man becomes destructively obsessed with killing a dangerous rat, which has taken residence in his recently renovated house.

I remember watching Evil Bong (2006) because it was included in a 10-movie horror bundle in a Walmart bin. I don't know how niche it is, but none of my friends have ever seen it before showing it to them.

I can't say it's worth watching, but it certainly exists.

I'm a big indie movies watcher so I wouldn't even know where to start
