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, 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.
Not only have I also seen Liquid Sky, I bought the soundtrack. Me and my rhythm booooooooooooooooxxxx…
That makes four of us. Wow, that takes me back.
I just looked at some clips on youtube. Still a very odd film.
All I remember from liquid sky is some scenes in a diner and a shot that convincingly compared the empire state building to a syringe, I have never looked at it again without remembering thsi.
#5 for Liquid Sky.
How about Razor Blade Smile? Ultra cheap Brit Vampire Flick. So bad it’s … not very good.
Me too. Presumably you’ve also seen Hickey and Boggs?
The Check is in The Mail - 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
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
I saw a Serbian film called Zombie Apocalypse, which I think has got to be the worst film that I’ve ever seen.
I’m hoping that nobody else has seen this for their sake .
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.
Poor quality trailer:
Thought of another one. 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 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.
I’ve seen it, being the zombie nut that I am.
Not very good but hardly the worst film ever made!
Yes, great movie! Which reminds me that I still need to watch his latest, which is available for streaming from Netflix (bit they don’t have it on DVD).
Gerry. Real-life pals Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play dudes who go on a walkabout in the desert and barely say a word to each other for 100 minutes.
