i saw eraserhead and thought it was badass...it has inspired me to start watching more good under the radar movies...where should i start? i'm thinking of watching dead or alive next...throw your suggestions and reviews at me!!! thanks in advance :)

It depends what you mean by "under the radar" - Eraserhead is very well known but not "mainstream".. Google "cult movies" and you should get a good starting list, eg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_film
http://www.nerve.com/movies/the-fifty-greatest-cult-movies-of-all-time
http://www.filmsite.org/cultfilmsew.html

Try to venture into world cinema too, eg all the Dogme movies esp. Festen(Swedish/Danish), then look to places like the far east for good horror films, south america for crime/urban, french for a wide variety of genres... If you liked Eraserhead then you'll probably like a lot of stuff by David Lynch too, and also David Cronenberg. Also try Bad Boy Bubby (Australian)

As I said, it really depends what genre you're looking for and what you mean by "under the radar"
