It’s a fictional B-movie that’s a hybrid between a bad sci-fi space flick and Russ Meyer titty movie. The “broadcast” is repeatedly interrupted by technical difficulties and the time is filled with phony ads and unrelated shorts. Tons and great cameos and memorable shorts, especially the Pet of Month bit. No Soul Simmons was one of my favorites.
November 24, 20205 yr Escape from Witch Mountain (1975) Looking back. Kim Richards may have been my first crush. I was 7 at the time and certainly didnt quite understand it either.
November 24, 20205 yr Author What's the Disney movie about the guy trying to save a small ski resort? He hadta enter his crapster snowmobile in a race or something.

I was 7 at the time and certainly didnt quite understand it either. Since we didn't get cable until the early 80s, most of my movie watching in the 70s came from regular TV. Disney on Sunday nights brought the Witch Mountain movies, The Apple Dumpling Gang, Herbie, Old Yeller, Freaky Friday, The Shaggy DA, etc. Once we got cable in the 80's with HBO and Cinemax, there were many obscure movies. I can't remember most of them, but I spent hours watching movies listed with N or even BN in order to catch a glimpse of a boob, butt, or even the occasional sex scene.
November 24, 20205 yr Kidco Midnight MadnessSuperfuzzKrull Loved Kidco. Haven’t thought about that movie in 100 years. Not sure how obscure this one is but:I do know this movie was hard AF to find on VHS in the 80’s.

I always confused that one with Midnight Madness (Michael J Fox and Stephen Furst). The one I always think about is Deadly Blessing, Because of this scene with an early 20 something Sharon Stone:

November 25, 20205 yr Most of the movies I was going to post have been posted already. I think I mentioned this movie in another thread because for decades I have been trying to remember what the name of this movie was. I saw it as a kid, so I could only remember a handful of scenes. No matter who I described the movie to, no one knew what the fuck I was talking about. By chance a couple of months ago while scrolling through the guide, read the description of this movie and immediately knew it was the one. Holy shit, it was like blowing a load after 30 years of jacking off. The best part is, it is one of the absolute worst movies ever. Just fucking terrible. Awful. It is worse than Gymkata. I present to you, Treasure of the Four Crowns.

Someone should open a titty bar called BN, N, & SSC. If you like the Amazon Women on the Moon, Kentucky Fried Movie, and UHF (surprised that one hasn't been mentioned yet), there's another similar movie that's even more obscure called "Loose Shoes" that is pretty outstanding.
November 25, 20205 yr Flight of the Navigator. Maybe not that obscure here. It was one of those go-to movies in elementary school for a movie day. However nobody I know that's younger than me has ever heard of it (born in 82)

November 25, 20205 yr On 11/24/2020 at 8:12 AM, Lobo said: Okay, I wouldn't exactly call "Defending Your Life" an obscure movie. It was lauded at the time and remains a classic comedy in the Albert Brooks pantheon. I'm waiting for Armybrat though to chime in with some Rudolph Valentino or Mae Murray movies at some point in this thread. In the meantime, I give you from the great C. Thomas Howell. The Bert Blyleven of 1980's workhorses: he was in many. Blind Fury was so bad.... so good....so bad....
November 25, 20205 yr Howell is basically the poster child for many of the 80's movies that weren't all that mainstream: The Outsiders (it's a classic now that launched a half dozen serious careers, but it only made $33mm at the box office), "Tank" (which I still watch late at night when I can't sleep), "Secret Admirer" (corny as hell but Kelly Preson and Lori Loughlin get semi-naked), "Soul Man" (in hindsight, maybe the most offensive movie of the 20th century), and probably a dozen others I can't think of right now.

November 25, 20205 yr I guess obscurity is relative. This was a good one. In addition to Hawke and Phoenix it featured a young Amanda Peterson may she RIP.
November 25, 20205 yr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_World_(1960_film)It was occasionally on the Sunday Night Movie. It was memorable for a boy because it had a young Jill St. John and Vitina Marcus as the Native Girl. https://images.app.goo.gl/NVBBWmFSfNqZi7WbA

November 25, 20205 yr I watched this on Showtime almost daily it seemed in the late 80s. One of Costner's first starring roles, I think. And the dad from Good Times.
November 25, 20205 yr another one that seemed to always be on HBO on Saturday nights at my uncle's house from about '85-'88
