Surely its called ‘One of my cousin’s is a Lawyer’
I’m nearly positive it was called “Adventures of Two Yutes.”
Oops, you’re right.
There was a great movie in the 80s about some kids who called themselves Goonies. They went on an adventure to find the first Goony, a pirate named One-Eyed Willie. It was called Kids Suck.
Homer told me about this one:
I was watching this movie about seven samurai. This village was being attacked and they went looking for some help and they found seven samurai. And the seven samurai came to the village and defended it.
I think it was called “Saving the Japanese Village”.
Close, but in SL the “chickie run” was between a guy with a rifle and a woman standing in the middle of the prison yard. She lost. That movie’s real name was German Economics.
Actually, it was originally called Everybody Comes to Rick’s:

I like the one with this girl who falls in love with a stable boy. He goes to sea and is captured by pirates! Then an evil prince falls in love with her, so he makes her a princess so they can get married. But he’s only using her to start a war. He has her kidnapped but then a man in black rescues her. They have many adventures until he is captured and killed. The girl weds the prince but, hey! The man in black isn’t dead! He saves the day. The whole thing is so crazy that it was called “Inconceivable.”
My favorite is the one about a human-looking robot that time-travels to the past to find and ‘Terminate’ (kill) a young woman, all because she is destined to give birth to a warrior who defeats the machines that have taken over in the time period the robot came from. But the warrior sends a guy to the past to protect her, and after a lengthy battle, he not only defeats the Terminator robot, he ends up being the warrior’s father! Whoa!
I’m sure you’ve heard of Back From the Future?
Is that the one that ends with the aliens being defeated on some national holiday, like Thanksgiving, maybe?
The same guy who made that made a movie about two people having a conversation who don’t know their conversation is being recorded, and the guy who’s recording their conversation spends a lot of the movie trying to get the recording of the conversation just perfect, because he’s that kind of guy, but then he discovers something horrifying about the conversation.
I think it’s called Reel-to-Reel.
My favorite movie is about this boy who watches his parents brutally gunned down in front of him by a mugger. He vows revenge on all criminals and wants to make them feel as afraid as he did that night. So when he grows up he decides to dress up like a bat since they are what scared him the most as a young child. Fortunately, his parents were very wealthy so he could spend the rest of his youth training and studying how to enact revenge and their family’s butler felt sorry for the kid (and maybe a bit afraid of the kid himself) so he just went along with the kid’s plans and helped the kid, now a man, setup a secret lair under the family mansion in an old cave which is filled with bats.
It’s called The Psycho Vigilante with a Fetish for Flying Mammals.
One of those action movies that seems to hold up decade after decade is about these pilots that get shot down and or captured during WWII and they all get put in this prisoner-of-war camp somewhere in Europe and they all get together and work out some intricate plans to get out of the prison, which that manage to do only to get recaptured or killed except for a few who ride bikes or boats and get away. I’m pretty sure the movie is The Motorbike Jumps A Fence.
I think the actual name is The Hairy Call.
There was this movie that was kind of cheesy but great. It was one of those disaster movies set on a commercial airliner. But instead of engine problems or a bomb on the plan, there were a bunch of snakes on the plane. Poisonous snakes! A bunch of them. I mean there were just a whole bunch of these snakes on this plane. They would kill off some of the snakes, but there were always more snakes on the plane. It was really exhausting for the people on the plane to deal with these snakes. I think of the characters commented on how he was just plain tired of these snakes and everybody laughed because it was a pun on the word ‘plane’ like airplane, which they were in an airplane. You probably had to see the movie to get the joke in context. IIRC it was called Airport '06.
Well played. ![]()
Another favorite:
A guy meets a girl on a train called the Silver Streak while traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago. He winds up mixing it up with a guy and gets thrown off the Silver Streak, but then manages to get back on the Silver Streak again. After getting knocked off the Silver Streak again, he meets up with a partner who helps him try to rescue the girl from the trouble she’s in, but then they have to jump off the Silver Streak. Eventually, they get back on the Silver Streak, rescue the girl, the bad guy gets killed, and they arrive safely in Chicago.
I think it’s called My Name’s Not Steve.
I like that movie where Gene Kelly is singing in the rain and sings a song about singing in the rain. I think it’s called “The Singing Cavalier.”
I like the one where Michael J. Fox travels back in time and then he has to get back to the future and when does get back to the future his life is actually better than it was before he traveled back in time. I think it’s called The Flying DeLorean.
I also like that movie about a group of Nazi hunters who call themselves the inglourious basterds. One of the inglourious basterds is nicknamed the Bear Jew and he beats Nazis with a baseball bat. I think the movie is called A Historically Accurate Description of what Happened to Hitler.
I remember this witty little film with a girl who’s supposed to get married, but she doesn’t. So she never becomes a Princess, or even a Bride. See, if they’d changed the script, then she’d be a Princess (by way of becoming a Bride), but the way it stands, she’s just a girl. And probably the least funny character in the movie.
Which is why they called it Dread Pirate Roberts.
Ahh… just noticed it was mentioned already. But by its Castillian name: Incontheivable.
There was this one movie with a whole bunch of damn dirty apes, maybe a whole planet of them, and it ends up being New York City after Giuliani got thru with it and this real pretty girl who doesn’t say much and you get to see a man kiss a monkey!
Ben Hur Goes Bestial
