[Miss Monday](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158792/), 1998 Anglo-American film obscure enough that it has no Wikipedia page. I enjoyed its unusual theme (but not enough to highly recommend it). IMDB rated it 6.4; one of the comments is > [@](#): > > This is a excellent example of so many excellent works of Independent Cinema. It has been nominated for and won several special festival awards yet It seems to have been ignored at all levels of the film “Critical” community, Thus dooming it to near oblivion. ---

I put “Kenny” into my Netflix queue, and it’s currently on “short wait” status. Is it possible that it has us to thank for that? ---

> [@gladtobeblazed](#): > > [Lemora: A Child’s Tale of the Supernatural (1973)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070300/) - probably my favorite obscure film. A fairy tale horror film starring a beautiful Cheryl “Rainbeaux” Smith in the lead role. I recommend watching this is you haven’t. I’ll second the recommendation on that. It’s one of my favorite vampire movies. I’ve always wondered if Anne Rice had ever watched it. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > I put “Kenny” into my Netflix queue, and it’s currently on “short wait” status. Is it possible that it has us to thank for that? We can only hope. By the way, I strongly recommend subtitles, as these people are speaking deep Australian. And that settles it. I own the DVD, time to watch it yet again. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > I put “Kenny” into my Netflix queue, and it’s currently on “short wait” status. Is it possible that it has us to thank for that? If you enjoy _Kenny_, see if you can get _Red Dog_ another recent, very funny (and at times pretty sad) film based on a real [dog](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dog_(Pilbara)) that wandered Australia’s far north-west Pilbara region in the 1970’s. Anyone else seen [The Day of the Wolves](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Wolves)? I must have been 5 years old, off school sick and at my mothers’ workplace for the day (she was the administrator at a home for mentally & physically disabled kids - most of the day they were at school). I remember sitting in the lounge of the house watching this when it was on as the midday movie. Never seen it since and have never found anyone else who even know’s it exists. ---

“The Acorn People.” > **[The Acorn People (TV Movie 1981) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081977/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_113)** > > The Acorn People: Directed by Joan Tewkesbury. With Ted Bessell, Cloris Leachman, Dolph Sweet, Cheryl Anderson. An unemployed teacher becomes a counselor at a summer camp for severely disabled children. It’s about a camp for disabled kids and the camp director kept expecting them to do things that able-bodied kids can do. I saw it on TV late at night and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who did. ---

I saw Oh! What a Lovely War in 1969 and enjoyed it. It was a musical about WWI. I haven’t found anyone else who has seen it. Some of these entries are bringing back memories of movies I have (thankfully) forgotten. Unfortunately I now remember them. The Manitou!!! Ugh! ---

I saw it on TV late at night and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who did. Nope, I’ve seen it too. It aired a number of times, and there’s a book about it too. It may be on VHS, but I don’t think it’s on DVD. There was another similar movie that we watched at school (on a big huge clunky VCR) called “A Shining Season”, a docudrama about a terminally ill athlete who coached a kids’ track team to the state championships. He had all his trophies re-engraved with the kids’ names, and the elementary school where he worked was re-named after him and remains so to this day. > **[Home - John Baker Elementary School](https://johnbaker.aps.edu/)** > > Home - John Baker Elementary School ---

Threadjack: Several years ago, a poster on another board said he worked at an amusement park the previous summer, and part of his job involved going underneath rides every hour or so to retrieve items that had fallen out of purses and pockets. Electronic equipment was always activated to aid in finding the owners. One day, they got a phone whose owner had used to take numerous pictures of himself masturbating. :eek: They made the photos into a slideshow titled “Vacation Pictures” and sent them to everyone on his e-mail list, which included his boss and his grandparents. 😛 ---
