Quoted from dothedoo:Another Roy Schneider movie.
Scheider, not Schneider.
Here's another great one.

WEll then this might be a good time to bring up (again) "Men Behind the Sun"
You can see the ther side of the coin

Damn auto-correct! 
Prague
Quoted from dothedoo:Ah yes, The Toxic Avenger. Fun movie. Saw it in the theatre before they censored the scene where his blind girlfriend makes him a sandwich and puts Drano on it, which is why he tosses it out the window.

Quoted from TheLaw:I'll counter Suburbia with SubUrbia...classic Linklater
[quoted image]
Nice! Casey Royer of the band DI in the other Suburbia was a high school friend of mine. Way cool dude.
Quoted from chad:[quoted image]
This movie (good bad ugly) is not somewhat obscure and neither is Outlaw Josey Wales. Not are the monkey movies.
If it was a Clint Eastwood movie that made tons of money, it's probably not "somewhat obscure."
Fans of Kentucky Fried Movie may enjoy the unofficial sequel Amazon Women on the Moon. Enjoyed it when I was 12 not sure how it holds up.
Quoted from pinzrfun:Kim Richards....i was in love with her for years after Escape to Witch Mountain.
Sure it wasn't Nanny and the Professor? Dear Prudence...

The concept of James Spader and RDJ as "tuff" is admittedly intriguing.

You should check out Iron Man on the drums backing up Jim Carroll.

How about this one then, featuring a young Jeff Bridges.
Thunderbolt (resized).jpgQuoted from o-din:You should check out Iron Man on the drums backing up Jim Carroll.
That actually checks out -- I'd like to think that RDJ spent much of the 80s shirtless, croakies bowtie and eye makeup firmly in place, pretending to play the drums.

I for one was actually impressed it took till page 3 for this to turn into "my favorite movie" thread; so this is progress to me.
I'm always interested in stuff that used to be somewhat well known but has slipped away. Things like "Over The Edge" I felt liek was on TV a lot when I was growing up, but you can't sniff it anywhere anymore. So I'll go in that area and say that this SE Hinton was on a lot back in the 80s

I'd say thunderbolt and lightfoot qualifies as obscure.
I just saw it for the first time.
Let me just say I was shocked by the amount of homoeroticism in this film.
Quoted from TheLaw:I for one was actually impressed it took till page 3 for this to turn into "my favorite movie" thread; so this is progress to me.
Yeah seems like Page 3 always gets ya.
Mad Max eh? Never heard of it! Sounds somewhat obscure.
Hunt for Red October? What's that some kind of independent foreign art film? Maybe a student film. Never heard of Gene Hackman, Sean Connery, or Alec Baldwin before. Well at least it's probably got some nudity.

Maybe that's why they needed like 30 guns on the poster.
Quoted from fosaisu:Maybe that's why then needed like 30 guns on the poster.
Yeah that was a pretty big throbbing hint.
By the time Jeff Bridges dresses in drag (and pulls it off, frankly) and seduces a horny porno mag reading night watchman right before Clint fires off his massive cannon I'm pretty much convinced.
There's tons of other stuff, like Jeff telling clint "I dig you, man," and that "people are gonna talk" about them. Even Bridge's character's name - Lightfoot - is pretty telling.
Pretty entertaining movie, not anything I expected that's for sure.
Also is there really someone on Pinside who thinks "Meatballs" is "somewhat obscure?"
Come on people! Let's just TRY here.

Could be age dependent? Jesus my wife has never seen it and refuses to because there's no alien in it like part 2 
I'm just trying to let them go...Used Cars, They Live, corvette summer, valley girl, idoiacracy, Leviathon, The Professional, The Thing, Escape form New York,
Soylent Green, Rollerball, Westworld (strangely up for debate), etc etc.
Quoted from mcuzz:A rare one, great action sequences and one of the best opening scenes on film.[quoted image]
Man I wish the rest of it held up like that opening...great stuff

I've seen T+L so many times now that back in the 90s when we took my dad's white Cadi ragtop to Vegas, I looked over at my buddy and gave him this line-
"You alright kid? You don't look too well"
