...not super-obscure in its day but very much a product of the mid-eighties, i doubt many folks are familiar with it fourty years later: michael crichton, tom selleck, gene simmons, peak kirstie alley...

(set in the near future-shock of 1991!)

Nirvana by Gabriele Salvadores. But if you want to watch it, get the Italian version with the eng subtitles, I'm told the English voiceover is utter crap.

Most obscure one I can think of is William shattner Tek war. I dunno if that is obscure to others, but it is to me
