Angel Face (1953)--maybe not that obscure, since so many others have mentioned it, but it doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves. Robert Mitchum stars; that alone is a recommendation.
Strangers in the Night (1944)--in no way related to the lovely Sinatra song, this was a B-movie that runs less than an hour, so it also doesn't get much attention. Directed by Anthony Mann, it stars William Terry as a Marine returning to the US after serving on Guadalcanal in WWII. He wants to visit a woman he's never met but with whom he's fallen in love through reading the many romantic letters she's sent him during his tour of duty. He arrives at her home,
occupied by her creepy elderly mother, who tells him her daughter is away but will be returning home soon. As days go by and the daughter never materializes, the Marine gets more and more suspicious about Mom and her sinister doings.
