Theatrical release?Richard Gallagher said:Well, there are about 16,000 films listed in Maltin's 2014 guide and thousands more in his Classic Movie Guide, so I feel pretty confident that most films which aren't listed are by definition "obscure." Are you trying to make the case that Mindwarp is not an obscure film? I'm fairly certain that it never even had a theatrical release in the U.S
So every "straight to DVD" movie is obscure?
I'll make the case that a movie is more obscure than its "non-inclusion" in the CMG if...
1. It isn't on Netflix...stream or DVD.
2. Not on Amazon VOD
3. Not on Hulu/Vudu or any other streaming site you can think of.
Illegally on Youtube or as a torrent doesn't count.
Edit:
Nevermind on the Youtube/torrent. I know of at least 10 movies that I can't find anywhere. Not even VHS. And these movies are newer than 1980.
