Always liked this one. The 70's captured perfectly in so many ways

Can’t believe this film hasn’t been remade.

This was my go to as a 9 year old.

This movie bothered the shit out of me when it was on cable during the 80s.

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared Syn was another oddball flick I can recall.

Wraith had Sherilyn Fenn boobes. It was great.

I saw this for the first time a few months ago. Tom Hanks is probably my favorite actor of all time. This movie is not good.

It’s meh, but has some scenes and lines that crack me up just thinking about them.

The bathtub scene kills me.

The pizza driver and accompanying song is used plenty when I make our kids pizza at the house.

1. It's not obscure

2. It's not an Oscar worthy movie, but comedies never are. It stands up pretty well.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2732]

Agreed, but many listed above are in no way obscure.

When I was at UT they used to show this movie on late night tv called How I Spent My Summer Vacation with Peter Lawford and Robert Wagner.  For some reason every time it came on my roommate and I would get high and watch it.  I still have no idea what it’s about.

Was your senior thesis, "The Lawford-Wagner Theory" by chance?  (pcu)

I was a kid, shit crumbling and crashing down was entertaining to me, lol.

This was horrible but Stacy Dash was so hot(and still is)

True, my One on One reference really isn't that obscure either, but you never see it screened much anymore.  Deadshank said it was ripe for a remake, and I'd agree.

Yes. If you surveyed a random set of 100 people (non-Surly), 95 will have never seen this.

But most would have heard of it.  Therefore, not obscure.

[Duval Street 420]

Stayed up with some friends for the after-midnight movie in the mid 70s and watched this, severely messed with our heads especially since we grew up in a rural area.

Krull was my first exposure to the phenomenon of a movie not holding up over time. I first watched it on HBO when I was 7 or so, and then I saw it again only a couple of years later, and 9 or 10-year-old me was disgusted with how terrible it was. I was embarrassed to think about how much I had liked it the first time around.

I really is terrible, but didn’t realize at the time.

Videodrome, on the other hand, is still bizarrely awesome

I disagree — it’s really a cult thing.  But in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I will not argue further, and just stick with my first 2 submissions.

I don't wanna live in a country where you can't argue about obscure movies on Thanksgiving...

Damn, beat me to it! Great 80s flick and Fiorentino was smoke.

Quaid, Cassevetes, Sheen, Ozzy Osbourne and cool 80s cars. Love it!

 

 

The great Dabney Coleman and one of the best and most unappreciated car chases in movie history imo. Great flick

 

 

 

Loaded. Goldie Hawn, Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, Mykelti Williamson, Nipsy Russell, Bruce McGill, Swoozy Kurtz, and M Emmet Walsh. Hilarious and great football flick.

Loved Kidco. Haven’t thought about that movie in 100 years. Not sure how obscure this one is but:



I do know this movie was hard AF to find on VHS in the 80’s.

 

 

perhaps this donut will jog your memory...

Its a jelly, eh.

This movie was terrible but I loved it. Farmer kid goes to Dallas to buy an exotic car  that ends to bring a POS. Hot car salesgirl tried to get him to cancel his wedding.
 

[CooterBrown 18014]

Not obscure but one of the most important films of anyone that grew up with TBS as one of the few TV stations available...

Man, Gotcha...saw that when it came out. With her movie accent and “yes, I am spy” attitude, I thought she was the sexiest woman I’d ever seen. And in her prime...I think I win that argument.
