> [@Ashley\_Pomeroy](#): > > 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? That was the first “adult” film I ever saw in a theatre when I was 15 or so. All I remember about it was the car chase and that it had a topless scene with two hookers and one had these long, saggy breasts that looked like a tennis balls in a pair of socks. ---

> [@Miss\_Woodhouse](#): > > [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_. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Netflix has it, so anyone who hasn’t seen it, put it on your Netflix queue right now! ---

[Valley of the Wolves: Iraq](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Wolves:_Iraq), out of morbid curiosity. Not a bad action flick, and Ghassan Massoud turns in a good performance, if you overlook the Jewish doctor harvesting people’s organs to send to Israel and stuff like that. ---

[Checkout](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297827/), a local indie film about a guy who starts a dating service in the grocery store he works at to save it from being bulldozed and to win the heart of the owner’s daughter. It has Paulie from Rocky in it and I remember at the time thinking it felt like a lesser Clerks. ---

It’s hard for me to tell what’s obscure and what isn’t…certainly I’ve seen some listed in this thread. Is anyone familiar with [Man Facing Southeast](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091214/)? That one stuck with me for a while. ---

_Stewart Saves His family_ and _Mom and Dad Save the World_ – I think a couple of other people have sen this. _Twelve_ – a Russian version of _Twelve Angry Men_. I enjoyed it quite a lot, though the logic and arguments that the Russian jury uses to reach its verdict is quite eye opening and different than the classic American version. ---

Threads. [Threads!](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090163/). A friend of mine saw it as a boy, and it stuck with him. In the infancy of the internet, it was possible to find terribly esoteric films from some distributor, but not to watch them online. He found a guy in Florida who dubbed VHS movies and sold copies for a decent price. He ordered and we waited with bated breath. Sometime in the summer of 2000 we sat down and watched the epic… When it was all over we looked at each other and said “seriously? I spent two hours of my life on that?" Our Brit brethren may remember the original run. I’m sorry if they do. ---

_Made for Each Other._ But not the 1939 movie starring Carole Lombard and James Stewart and not the one from 2009. This one was released in 1971. I saw it once and have remembered it fondly. It’s so obscure that I had a hard time finding it online. Couldn’t even find a synopsis, but [here are reviews](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067377/reviews) from the 14 other people who saw it. The 1971 version stars Joe Bologna and Renee Taylor and includes Paul Sorvino and Olympia Dukakis. ---

**Solar Babies** –post apocolyptic world with all the kids in a work camp type thing…ON ROLLER SKATES who discover an alien. **Meatballs II** –I think it’s set maybe six or seven years after the original “Meatballs” at the same camp but this time there’s an alien who shows up and the kids dress him up as a camper. Hilarity ensues. **King Frat** –the person who forced me to sit through a viewing of this assured me that if I liked “Animal House” (which I do), I’d LOVE “King Frat” since it was supposed to be sort of like “Animal House”. It was 2 hours of fart jokes, including a 15-20 min scene where they’re at a bar or something and there’s a fart competition. No really.:eek: **Mother, Jugs and Speed** –Billy Cosby and friends run an ambulance company. It’s actually pretty funny. ---

_ **My New Partner** _ - A French film starring Phillipe Noiret from 1984. I saw in some little art house cinema that no longer exists and thought it was the funniest film I’d ever seen. Maybe I was high but I would love to see it again. ---
