Interesting that all of us who’ve seen _Liquid Sky_ have seem to have ended up at the SDMB. I also saw _The Limey_. Peter Fonda had a good role in that – was Terrence Stamp the Brit? ---

Terence Stamp was the Brit. The scene they re-used was of him singing a Donovan song; right at the end of _The Limey_, I think. ---

If I am not the only person in the world who has seen [Spork](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1483020/), I sure wish someone would start a thread about it. The description made it sound like a female Napolean Dynamite. That’s true enough, but this one doesn’t have the same heart and there’s a whole lot more going on with the plot. Napolean Dynamite had awkwardness. This movie has real unpleasantness and not all of it comes from the characters. ---

[The Check is in The Mail](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090818/) - the teasers on TV leading up to its release were promising. My husband and I saw it on the opening weekend. Then it disappeared… forever… and rightly so. Even Netflix doesn’t carry it. ---

And #6 for Liquid Sky, + whatever for Putney Swope. If PS had come out 20 years later, I suspect some of the lines would have become catch-phrases. ---

I tend to stay away from obscure movies, and only watch things that I have heard some decent buzz about. So I don’t know if this counts, as it’s quite recent: [The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Extraordinary_Adventures_of_Ad%C3%A8le_Blanc-Sec_%28film%29) ---

I saw _Liquid Sky_ at an art cinema back in grad school. The same ;place I saw The Giant Brine Shrimp and other weird art (and otherwise) films. Definitely weird, but visually interesting ---

> [@well\_he\_s\_back](#): > > Nom dePlume - this is off topic but you mentioned Santa Sangre; well there used to be a poster on these boards who hated that movie. Every once in a while it would come up in a thread and he would go off on the most hilarious rants about it. I mean hilarious, giggling and laughing at your computer funny. So, you two at least have seen it. I could understand how someone could dislike it. It was pretty disturbing, but I did watch through to the end. I just couldn’t turn it off. ---

Seen at least a dozen of the films mentioned here. Santa Sangre is awesome! Only film I can think of offhand is Distant Lights - an Italian science fiction film from the late eighties. Aliens reanimate the bodies of dead humans for…well, it’s not what you’d expect. Probably not as great as I remember it but it does boast a great eerie quality to it. Good score too. > **[Luci lontane (1987) ⭐ 6.3 | Sci-Fi](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093446/)** > > 1h 29m Poor quality trailer: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9xadX5FJYc) ---

Thought of another one. [Starship Invasions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Invasions), featuring aliens that force humans to commit suicide via some kind of mind-ray. I saw this when I was a kid as part of the late-night double feature on 10 TV, and it really wigged me out. ---

[the minis](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1009017/) the imdb description sums it all up. "Dwarfs playing basketball… with Dennis Rodman. " it has midgets playing basketball, AND Dennis Rodman, yet tries to be a serious, touching father/son kinda movie instead of a comedy. It ultimately just fails at everything other then being a desperate for work paycheck for Dennis Rodman. ---
