* Maybe more a kind of appeal to annihilation than an appeal to obscurity, but in ''AchilleTalon'' there’s a dialogue which goes along these lines:
-->'''Lefuneste''': I don’t want to swim in that pond: the water looks deadly cold!
-->'''Achille''': Come on, you wimp! Think of the [[TheSpartanWay Spartans]]! In the midst of the winter they would play water-polo using ice balls in the rivers they were gladly swimming in!
-->'''Lefuneste''': Exactly: there are no more Spartans!

This has absolutely nothing to do with this fallacy. He\'s not using the fact that those things are obscure to make a point, he\'s simply calling attention to things he feels are underrated.

* Now that Steven Soderbergh has completed his Liberace film Behind The Candelabra for HBO, he’s set up shop at a new website, Extension 765, essentially a marketplace for his favorite things. Along with movie props, there’s quite an array of t-shirts. The references on the shirts are outlandishly obscure, including a license plate number from The French Connection and a whiskey brand from a five-second pan in Laura. I won’t list out every film here, but it’s a nice little advanced trivia game to go through and match the films to Soderbergh’s favorite obscure references.
