I think the most obscure I've seen has to be Arès (2016)
Cyberpunk
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Another one I've never heard of! Awesome!
I didn't know about Until the End of the World (1991) till recently. Can't say it was worth watching, but bounty bear was amazing.
Wow, I have never heard of this movie. I just watched a trailer and it looks very strange. I think I'll take your word for it and skip this one.
The U2 song is great too.
Lol the left arm on the middle poster is so loooong
Welt am Draht
I'm learning a lot by googling these obscure movies. Apparently Welt am Draht was called World on a Wire in its English release and it's based on the same novel that The Thirteenth Floor (1999) was based on. Neat!
