My dad was a film historian. My entire childhood was filled with movies none of my contemporaries had seen.

I had many such movies. The most obscure among them probably being "The child who wanted to be a Bear", a Franco-Danish animation film which doesn't even have a Wikipedia page in English. (It was already DVD and not tape tho)
Bee Movie Ghost Dad The Wizard Secret of NIMH 2 The Ernest Series
the internet makes this possible 1000x
we had See Spot Run (23% on rotten tomatoes) but it got taped over by another movie "accidentally" when I was 7 and I haven't seen it since...
having read the plot on Wikipedia, it features a lot more references to testicles than I remember

Jawbreaker and the brave little toaster
Brave Little Toaster was a staple. Wonder if it has anything to do with my constant desire to repair anything I can instead of throwing it away...

If anything, we have more access to obscure content. We have obscure movies we've found streaming and watch repeatedly. We love Trolljegeren and Interstate 60.
We also still have some weirdo discs too like the live action Mario movie.

If you grew up mormon, you knew the buttercreamer gang. Also, The peanutbutter solution.
- edit to add another obscure movie.
I’m sorry what
The Buttercreamer’s Gang, clearly a very obscure movie. Two of them, Actually.
Was not mormon, but i remember the buttercream gang
Zoobilee fucking Zoo...
- I am not from anywhere near North America.
Rupert and the Frog Song. Three terrifying stories. It was a Thursday night... I was working late...
I had weirdly encyclopedic knowledge of old Finnish comedies because my late father was into that stuff.
Also: Not an obscure film, but to me, the definitive version of Terminator 2 was the one I recorded off TV. I have it on Blu-Ray, but it's just not the same.

Was lucky enough to get a VHS copy of Lupin the Third and the Castle of Cagliostro when I was like 7 or 8. Man I must have watched that tape over 100 times easily.
The Swan Princess. It haunts me.
I believe it's also partially responsible for my young and lifelong rebellion against someone complimenting my appearance. Fine. You find me nice to look at. That's a hill a beans. What else.
A year in Provence, 4 tape box set.
My sexual awakening was "bon jour, I am Raul the Pool Boy"
For movies, it was Condor Man for me. TV it was Silver Hawks.
