I saw this movie recently called Electric Dreams (1984.) It's about a guy who buys a computer -- keep in mind this is back when our ideas about computers were rather chunky and nebulous -- and it ends up competing w/ him for the affection of the girl who lives above them. The computer bounces the guy's checks and locks him out of his apt. It's a real hoot. I'm not sure how obscure it is, though.

yeah... it's not very obscure

I was really into that movie when I was a kid.
I bought that soundtrack (first tape I ever bought with my own money).
Really liked the idea of a computer making music... funny to think about now

I have a VHS copy of Electric Dreams and am eagerly awaiting a DVD release. I have the soundtrack because I'm a big ELO/Jeff Lynne fan. Looking back at the 80's computers now (Commodore 64 was the big thing advertised in the store where Moles buys Edgar) is pretty funny and dated, but I think the jigsaw puzzle buildings scene with Culture Club's "Love Is Love" playing over it is still pretty impressive, as is the scene with Pac Man chasing Moles through the apartment.

don't they play that the sci-fi channel quite a bit?

Oh, don't have cable. So it's obscure to me!

The Peanut Butter Solution; it used to be on cable a lot, so maybe it's not too obscure.

Lars von Trier's "Medea", got it on VCD

I remember this one... the kid's hair grows and grows and some people make magic paintbrushes out of it?

My memory of it is kind of murky, but that sounds right. I seem to recall a scene in which the kid is being chased down the street by some dogs.
