    Quoted from Deezer5150:

    While on the subject of Ralph Bakshi...[quoted image]

    Great movie. Not commercially attractive, but interesting on multiple levels.

    Connery's Outland is a forgotten gem, just as his Name of the Rose.

    Quoted from mark532011:

    One of my favorites in the obscure category is “The Green Slime” still available to watch in its entirety on YouTube. Alien fungus that grows to eat electricity and attack a space station.[quoted image]

    Great film.

    Quoted from cottonm4:

    When a 747 became a submarine.
    [quoted image]

    Jimmy Stewart literally is wasted in this movie, although it's fun to watch.

    Quoted from BagAJellyDonuts:

    The Stooges and that flying submarine. Jason and the Argonauts, the sword fight with the skeletons.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Jason and the Argonauts is hardly obscure, as is any Harryhausen film.

    Quoted from fosaisu:

    Lee Van Cleef, what a badass. Those snake eyes were killer.[quoted image]

    He was a great B movie actor, too bad he drank too much.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    Haven't heard of that one before. The trailer certainly looks intriguing.

    Don't bother, it sucks. I think they pop up a tent on the moon and have sex if I remember correctly.

    I've seen about half of these posted - I went through a phase of sifting through B and Z rated movies for decades trying to find lost gems. Found a few....

    Quoted from o-din:

    Doubt most here have seen it.
    OK then[quoted image]

    Can we just agree that no Harryhausen film is obscure? What's next, listing some John Ford, Howard Hawks, or Jacques Tourneur film?

    Quoted from Deezer5150:

    Here’s two more potential oddballs for most of you.[quoted image][quoted image]

    While Shock Treatment sucks balls as a follow up to RHPS, it does have a great soundtrack, and some good scenes.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    I wonder if it was inspired by Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow from 2004.[quoted image]

    I can't believe that was 15 years ago that that film came out. I remember the internet movie sites really pushing it....

    Quoted from xsvtoys:

    That one was a major flameout for sure.
    Quiz: What movie had the most internet buzz and excitement in relation to how crappy and dumb it actually turned out to be when it came out?
    Here are 2 hints: It involves snakes. And a plane.

    There are a few....

    Armageddon
    Snakes on a Plane (answer to your question)
    Batman and Robin
    Attack of the Clones ("not has good as ANH and ESP, but better than ROTJ" - yeah right)
    Sky Captain

    Those were the good ol days....
