Luckily, Letterboxd makes our task easy: just pick a title from The Most Obscure Movie Recommendations List Ever as compiled by independent online film journal Bright Wall/Dark Room.
15. This week we'll disregard the positive and the hopeful and turn our attention to those films that earned the church's highest level of criticism and disapproval.
