Noises Off is a great film, but i'm not sure if it's obscure enough
Compared to most of the movies being upvoted it's very obscure.
Seems utterly forgotten, in terms of mainstream presence. I only saw it because we had it on VHS. Never seen it on TV, never had it recommended on streaming, never even noticed a torrent available.
It follows a theater production of some screwball comedy, but mostly focuses on backstage tensions. Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, John Ritter... Carol Burnett. Just a perfect cross-section of early-80s actors for complete chaos.
