This is a great commentary on fascism, but most won't see past the sexual torture and degradation. Inspired by the book by the Marquis de Sade.
Fellini - SatyriconFellini - Satyricon
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.82
First off, the average mainstream movie-goer won't be able to get past the subtitles for this Italian-spoken gem. Then add on all the homosexuality and boy-love, and company is out the door!

Most people just don't understand David Lynch. Most people who do understand David Lynch didn't understand this movie.

For the average Blockbuster-renter, this will just seem like a complete bore. And then there are those "shi**y" subtitles...

As I always say, you can't go wrong with foreign drama to clear out a house!

Now this one can backfire. Most people will be disgusted and/or very uncomfortable by this. Though I've had others that though hated the movie, were so hypnotized by it, they sat through the entire thing.
City of the Living DeadCity of the Living Dead

Lucio Fulci made some nasty zombie flicks! Take this one, which makes no sense at all and has awful dubbing, then throw in a great intestinal-vomiting scene and that should be enough to make someone want to go home.
Dracula vs. FrankensteinDracula vs. Frankenstein
Man this is a cheapie. This movie is a lot of fun and absolutely ridiculous. Only for lovers of classic B-movies.

I wish that more people I know can get into this. It's brilliant and perfect in every way. But its foreign, and has lots of odd musical numbers, and typically, fans of the mainstream are really confused by this.
Slums of Beverly HillsSlums of Beverly Hills
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.83
This is pretty much a chick-flick of sorts, but I really enjoyed it. But, with 20-something males, you put on a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl, and they are gone.

At first I was showing this to friends because I thought they might find it as funny as I did. Then I remembered how they didn't like any other Christopher Guest movie, and this was added to "Go Home" list.
Ilsa - She Wolf of the SSIlsa - She Wolf of the SS

This movie's just f*ucked up.
