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.
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, 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, 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? 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.
Good grief. I don’t know what it says about me, but I’ve seen all of the following movies from this thread:
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
Age of Consent
Phase 4
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
Stalker
Gone in 60 Seconds (original version)
CC & Company
Creation of the Humanoids
Simon, King of the Witches
Vampire Circus
The Manitou
Santa Sangre
The Apple
Putney Swope
…and
Slaves of New York
Sorcerer
The Seven-Ups
WR - Mysteries of the Organism
Double post. Damned Gremlins.
Threads. Threads!.
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 from the 14 other people who saw it.
The 1971 version stars Joe Bologna and Renee Taylor and includes Paul Sorvino and Olympia Dukakis.
No one I know has ever admitted to seeing this hot mess. I saw it on a date.
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.
Liquid Sky – a cult alien drug music punk film from the 80s.
I saw that when I was in college, probably around 1990. I don’t remember much about it and I haven’t seen it since.
I stand corrected. That’s two of us.
I’ve seen Poor Cow; Mother, Jugs and Speed; and Liquid Sky
Poor Cow has a scene that was taken from it and used in the film The Limey.
I saw a lot of weird shit when I was in college in the 1960s-1970s.
Futz, about a hillbilly who marries his pig.
Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
Robert Downey Sr.'s followup to Putney Swope, Pound
Of films previously mentioned, I’ve seen:
Steelyard Blues
Putney Swope
Liquid Sky
Sorcerer
The Wages of Fear
WR - Mysteries of the Organism
Brother from Another Planet
Matewan
and the exceedingly bizarre El Topo.
