Now we're talking; What great movie. Are there any other movies that open credits appear in semen?
I'll counter Ichi with "Riki-Oh." Wow...now I'll probably watch both tonight

I watched this not too long ago. The space and "hi-tech" portions were incredibly cheesy and have not aged well, but the parts with the two characters work so well even after all these years. It was a real joy to watch.
Quoted from 29REO:Great movie. The actor who plays Earnest Hemingway steals the show.

Excellent flick.
When I was younger, I was infatuated with an absolutely absurdly stupid scavenger hunt movie called "Midnight Madness".
Dammit, now that f'n song is stuck in my head again. Ugh.
And there's the other song now too... " I've Got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind ".

Movie came out around when I decided to not watch Woody Allen movies, probably sooner. Never saw it.
Quoted from John_C:[Image of movie poster for Five Million Years To Earth.]
Deeproot has secured the license to make the pin for this movie.
The time frame in the film title is about when to expect the game.
Quoted from jhanley:Parents took me to this movie in 1967 when I was 8. Scared the shit out of me.

The Lineup (A.K.A. Contraband) 1958
pasted_image (resized).png
Drug smugglers using innocent travelers as mules to transport heroin to San Francisco. For a 1958 movie it's surprisingly violent. There's what I would consider a classic scene with Eli Wallach and Vaughn Taylor (his only scene in the movie) at Sutros and a shootout right in front of both Sutros and the Cliff House.
All leading up to a chase that was probably the best car chase in a movie in San Fransisco up until Bullitt came out. Have to say the Blu Ray looks exceptional.
Quoted from TheDarkKnight68:[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
At the Earth's Core a great Edgar Rice Burroughs book but the movie was nowhere near as good. Wish they would remake it and do it justice.
The War Of The Gargantuas I have seen many times and used to have pictures from the film that the theater would put up instead of a poster. My uncle back in the 70's ran one of two theaters in the Florida Keys. His was in Marathon and back then it was one of only a few things to do back then as now it is bought up. I miss that place and the movies I watched. 
The Land that Time Forgot was the better of the two movies also both Edgar Rice Burroughs books.

Deathship was good if I am remembering the correct movie. Italian ship I think in the 50's or early 60's starts at a party aboard and moist of the tourists are halved should we say!!! 
Quoted from Neal_W:Evil Alien Conquerors - Silly flick that I frequently watch with friends for a laugh.
[quoted image]
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter - Low buget flick that I also frequently watch with friends for a laugh.

Fantastic!! Alien conquerors in onesies and JC kicking ass

Unless it was a remake of this movie, that would be Ghostship that you are thinking of.

Sorry Zablon I guess I got my ships mixed up, chalk it up to old age.
Quoted from girloveswaffles:Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg's 1979 $35,000,000 comedy, 1941
[quoted image]Quite a cast this movie has.
girloveswaffles I own that movie and I think it doesn't get the credit as a John Belushi movie also.

I have an original 1980 MCA Discovision copy, a MCA / Universal Widscreen Laser disc, and a DVD copy. I just need to get a Blu Ray copy one of these days.

girloveswaffles just how old are you? Do you have a VHS copy also?
I thought I was the old person around here?

Rarely bought movies on tape. as far as the Discovision 1941, I bought that used in the early '90s, then of course the wide screen version came out a year or two later. 
A lot of my video collection is stuff I find at thrift stores and outlets or shops like Book-off. One of the biggest savings I got was finding a 4K / Blu Ray combo edition if Spiderman into the Spiderverse I found at a Savers store last year that I got for $3.99.
I also get some stuff from Amazon and other online retailers. Much of it is things that aren't released in the U.S.
a couple of goodies were from the U.K. like the never aired 1979 Doctor Who episode "Shada" on Blu ray (no region encoding) and The 1969 original version of The Italian Job. Both were authentic discs, not bootlegs.
But I do get a lot of stuff online that you can't get in many stores and occasionally not even from Amazon.
...as far as my age, I turned 60 last June.
You should visit the Goodwill here girloveswaffles all my VHS players have broken and I just donated about 750 VHS movies to them. Including my Beatles Yellow Submarine tape also.
Just slightly older than me I turn that age this month.

There's a Good Will "Computer-works" Store in Santa Ana CA. that gets all sorts of stuff on all video formats, sometimes new old stock (usually donated by Target, and you do sometimes find Target exclusives).
They also get get a lot of T.V.s video games (fair selection of PS-4 / 5, X-Box1 and Switch included), and Apple accessories there. Hell, I'm relying on an iMac that I bought there!
They have even got arcade games there including a couple of pins (mostly donated by Captains Auctions).

I lucked out a few weeks back. I found a Magnavox VHS / DVD recorder at a local goodwill store. Unique thing about these units, you can still record off the air on the VCR (it has a ATSC tuner for both recorders).
