"Night Patrol". Also I second "Burn After Reading".
Not obscure but "Blazing Saddles" deserves a mention with any comedy greats.

Raising Arizona is one of the most quotable movies EVER. And so stupid that it's hilarious.
"Bill Johnson? NO, not that motherscratcher, Bill PARKER"
"I don't know. They were jammies. Had little YODAS and **** on 'em"
"FREEZE...everybody down on the ground!" Old Timer: "Well, what's what it gonna be? Seeing as if we freeze we can't get on the ground...and if we get on the ground, we're a gonna be in motion."

"I'm with Beaver" starring foxy reb. Currently filming. Not sure if they have closed on production or are aiming for a mini series going to syndication.
Steve Martin had a string of really funny movies that might be considered obscure today. Throw in My Blue Heaven, LA Story as a couple of my favorites. Planes, Trains and Automobiles probably isn't obscure. Neither is Three Amigos. But both are very funny.
Winner^^^^
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a horn"
"A horn?... well why don't you play us a tune there, Satchmo"
That one just popped in my head, but man, such a quotable movie. Alec Baldwin was amazing in it.
Saving Silverman...
For an off the beaten path comedy I think it is hilarious. From the dudes having an infatuation with Neil Diamond to the kidnapping of the girlfriend and faking her death to keep her from breaking up the group to their HS coach that is in prison for killing a referee by throwing a chain marker at him its loaded with really funny stuff.

I still laugh when Walter Matthau's character gets pepper sprayed, very funny movie.

Sometimes when a thread gets really long I just reply directly to the first post of the thread sorry I repeated it.
Not many people have seen it, but it's one of my favorite. Anybody who ever played in a band or is into music should give it a watch.
Love SAVING SILVERMAN!!!
"Wait, it gets worse. Last night, she torched his whole Neil Diamond collection."
"She torched Neil? You're right, she's a monster. She must be stopped!"
or
"Duuuuude, can't you hear the door bell ringing?"
"Yeah."
"So, why don't you answer it?"
"I'm eatin."
"So?"
"I don't answer the door when I'm eatin."
"Since when?"
"Since always."
"I never knew that!"
"Well you didn't know I was gay either."
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
