> [@Gyrate](#): > > CC and Company - a biker movie starring Joe Namath. Much as we all loved Joe, there’s a reason his acting career never took off in a big way. I’m pretty sure I saw that when I was a kid but I don’t remember much about it. Living in Alabama and being a Crimson Tide fan I kind of paid attention to stuff with Joe Namath in it. 😉 ---

I’ve seen _Baptists at Our Barbecue_ so that one doesn’t count anymore. 😉 I enjoyed it as well. [Son of Rambow](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0845046/)–No one I know has seen it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone here has. It’s a charming little flick about a couple of school boys in England who decide to make their own film version of _Rambo_. ---

A few spring to mind. Channel 4 in the UK had a habit of screening odd continental gems late at night, which I used to watch in case there was nudity. The most infamous was _Themroc_ (1973). Quoth Wikipedia, “_Themroc tells the story of a French blue collar worker who rebels against modern society, reverting into an urban caveman. The film’s scenes of incest and cannibalism earned it adults-only ratings, and it featured in the UK’s Channel 4’s red triangle series of controversial films in 1986._” I admit I haven’t actually seen it - I was ten - but I’ve _heard_ about it. I have however seen the 1966 Czech new wave gem _[Sedmikrásky](http://youenoch.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/sedmikrasky-daisies-by-vera-chytilova/)_ (“_Daisies_”) which is about a pair of ne’er-do-well young ladies who get up to mischief and end up being beheaded, from what I remember. No nudity. But I’m glad I saw it. Sticks with me. EDIT: No, they aren’t beheaded. That’s in _W R: Mysteries of the Organism_ further down the post. They get crushed by a chandelier. I think. 1973 cop action film _The Seven-Ups_, starring Roy Scheider? It should be more well-known - directed by the producer of _The French Connection_, starred Roy Scheider when he was hot, has a [car chase](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vACWV5sRcY) that was supposed to be the car chase to end car chases (the engine sound is fantastic) but goes on too long - but I go long weeks before meeting someone who’s even heard of it. Absolutely feckin’ stupid name too. I mean, _Bullitt_, that’s a good name for a film. _The Omen_, another good name. _Ama-feckin’-deus_, wicked name. _The Seven-Ups_, what the gentle caress? The drink? The Seven_s_-Up? Ooh, ooh. _W R: Mysteries of the Organism_. So infamous - it’s another one of those Channel 4 films - that it’s probably too well-known to qualify for this topic. You really need to find something that _should_ be well-known, but has completely fallen off the radar, such that you can go long weeks before meeting someone who’s even etc. _Kill!_ (1971), a kind of tacky Eurothriller with an interesting cast - James Mason! Jean Seberg! - that was produced by Alexander Salkind of _Superman_ fame and directed by Seberg’s husband, who shot himself dead in 1980, one year after Seberg had taken a fatal drug overdose. [The trailer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlPw84OLYHA) will make your jaw dangle slightly. And it captures the flavour of the film, which I remember had a sequence with people jumping on trampolines whilst being shot, and it was a metaphor for something. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > “little remembered”? I never thought so. > > Saw it. Loved it. Easier to find than _Wages of Fear_. Oh, it’s not as obscure as most of what’s been mentioned in this thread, but it’s not up there with _Jaws_ (same actor) or _The Exorcist_ (same director), which are from the same era. I wouldn’t be surprised to find someone my age who hadn’t heard of it. And I’ve seen _Wages of Fear_. I know I speak heresy, but I like the remake better. ---

Proud(?) to have seen many of these movies. I’d totally forgotten about Nice Girls Don’t Explode 🙂 My contribution: [Delta Force Commando](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099400/). A 4th rate tag-along to the Rambo craze of the 80’s. It was unbelievably low-budget and filled with continuity and editing errors. Funny examples are soldiers shaking their gun props to mimic recoil in total silence, bad guys falling down dead at random, stuff like that. And the hero trying to play a straight-faced action hero through it all. ---

The soundtrack album by Tangerine Dream is one of that band’s more highly regarded albums, so the film is well remembered among prog/electronic music fans, at least, whether they’ve actually seen it or not. Besides _Brother from Another Planet_, it’s the only film in this thread I’ve seen. ---

Thought of another one: _Noon Sunday_, starring Mark Lenard (Sarek from Star Trek). I don’t know if it was ever released in theaters; I watched it on TV one weekend afternoon because I liked ML and wanted to see him in something else. All I remember about it was that it was one of those ultraviolent '70s war/mercenary flicks. ---
