It's not necessarily philosophical but Kontroll is a great movie

Books - The Lumberjacks by Donald Mackay contains a lot of phenomenal stories about and from lumberjacks in the late 19th century.
I found it while studying at the Cal Poly library and taking a break to randomly stroll through the stacks. I ended up reading the whole thing and not studying nearly enough :-).

Sure, the below stick with me, Im not sure if they class as lesser known, they were to my uncultured self..
- Black Cat, White Cat (1998), serbian comedy
- Brother (1997), russian revenge flick
- Kontroll (2003), hungarian sci-fi/fantasy
- The Return (2003), russian drama
- Dead Man (1997), US western/art
- Three colours Blue (1993), french drama

As a bonus if you like smoking with friends Darby o Gill and The little People (1959) is an (inadvertent?) slapstick-comedy/horror from disney.
