List completely forgotten, and rightfully so, movies here

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087822/combined

Ah Cinemax in the early 90s...

imdb....HOOOO!

Anybody ever see CRASH AND BURN? It's like Robot Jox Redux.

The Fog, remake.

They really should make more films about hundred foot high robots fighting each other.

edit - oh SHIT! Gymkata is much later than I remembered. I would've been 16 when it came out.

A total E.T. rip-off whose only merit might've been that the main character was in a wheel chair, yet no fuss was made out of it.

It was suggested that *not* having the wheelchair as a selling point is perhaps of more merit.

You said you said that.

You didn't. You said it would have been a point of merit for the movie to be all "whoo look, dude in a wheelchair, please watch my shit movie, it's better than ET because the dude's in a wheelchair" (please note, I'm paraphrasing a bit)

Oh god, thanks for nothing.

Three million UK films of the eighties/nineties to thread. Basically anything before Shallow Grave.

damn right someone is.

"Bonnie, BALL-BALL!"

This thread needs a revive.

Anyone remember/seen/heard of this one? If so, you may be one of the 160 IMDB users who have rated it.

From the Reagan-era cycle of 1950s nostalgia flicks, this one about American teenagers vacationing (PG-style) in Hawaii in the last days before Hawaii became a state. The tagline, btw, advertises it as being "In the tradition of Stand By Me (well, sure) and Where The Boys Are" (um, huh?).

1960 original or "Where The Boys Are '84" remake, I wonder?

somehow this 80s teen-sex-comedy completely passed me by at the time and ever-afterwards until a couple weeks ago. was amazed I'd never even heard of it.

talk about a film flopping just from the title alone...

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

1960 original or "Where The Boys Are '84" remake, I wonder?

Who knows. Only seen the '84 one myself, which this is nothing like; Aloha Summer's meager ambition is to be good-for-you, not smutty. Can only assume that they drew the second title for the tagline out of a hat stuffed with movies about teenagers and beaches.

Actually posting about a film that's supposed to be good (seemed like a good thread)...Anyone have any idea how to stream/buy/see John Korty's The Crazy-Quilt (1966)? Not having any luck.

In the spirit of the deservedly forgotten, Mel Gibson IS the Beaver in The Beaver.

I certainly never forgot The Beaver

lol wait jared leto has an oscar?

Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses

Lol a quote was still in my cache. Anyway, my favorite forgotten movie is 1994’s blatant pandering to Generation X, SFW, with Stephen Dorff’s towering performance as “Spab”.

Coincidentally, both were shown at TIFF in 1994!

The Beaver is one of those things in my brain where I can't remember if it really happened or if it was like some Arrested Development or 30 Rock bit. like this is what he does after saying Third Reich shit on tape

I think no-one but me remembers seminal '80s aussie 'killer bush pig' schlockfest RAZORBACK, sadly.

I'm with yer buddy. Me and my mate loved this movie, and were a bit obsessed with the performance from David Argue.

I own 36 of the films mentioned in this thread on Blu-ray.

It's available on torrent sites but I couldn't possibly point you in the direction of those, sorry...

"Mel Gibson: Walter Black"

Didn't realize this movie was part of the Breaking Bad multiverse

I own 36 of the films mentioned in this thread on Blu-ray.

Did you forget them? And rightfully so?

maybe I should name my Plex server "The Memory Hole"

o god sometimes when I’m depressed I’ll read Wikipedia entries for movies like these…. Like

― Expansion to Mackerel (Boring, Maryland)

see i remember that film :(

you know what is absolutely a treasure trove of trailers for forgotten films? old pay tv "coming next" bumpers.

Wednesday Night on HBO: Buffalo Bill and the Indians, Or, Sitting Bull's History Lesson!

Friday Night on HBO: Checkered Flag or Crash! The first story about off-road racing! Joe-Don Baker as Walk-Away Madden! Susan Saren-den as the Reporter! All-time racing great Parnell E. Jones!

Saturday: It's high-speed action and 100 proof adventure with a trio of beautiful bootleggers in a battle with a backwoods syndicate! Susan Howard, William Conrad, and John Saxon star in Moonshine County Express! OK, look, I'm not saying they're not all three beautiful, but that's an _unlikely_-ass trio of beautiful bootleggers.

A circus lion-tamer drops his whip and chair to enter the beefcake parade of a male beauty contest as... The Last Romantic Lover! Next on HBO!

the best ones are the ones from the '70s, NGL. so much B-movie schlock in there.

5:00 EDT: DIE LAUGHING

He's a klutzy cabbie with a show-biz dream and a pet monkey who's memorized a military secret! Robby Benson stars.

8:00 EDT: WHOLLY MOSES

Dudley Moore is Herschel, a simple shepherd who blows his big chance when he tries to put out the burning bush! All-star silliness.

CHAPTER TWO

He's widowed, she's divorced -- and it looks like it's love the second time around! Marsha Mason and James Cann star.

Paris, France - used to be shown late night on Channel 4 in the 90s sometimes, really very strange film which they decided to market as an "Erotic thriller" though it's definitely not that.

I’ve always been kind of curious about this one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Train_to_Venice

Stars Hugh Grant, Malcolm McDowell, and Kristina Soderbaum, who is best known for playing a series of doomed Aryan heroines in Nazi-era dramas.

The Wikipedia page links to an interview with grant:

HG: I've made some absolute stinkers but the greatest stinker of all 
is called Night Train to Venice. It was in my Europudding phase, 
directed by an insane German, with me and Raquel Welsh's daughter 
starring. And it's a film that has the unique distinction of having 
had no release in any medium in the world ever. 


JW: Just buried (laughing)
HG: Totally buried, yeah, no videos, nothing. And even after FWAAF 
came out they kept coming to Cannes and trying to flog this thing 
that I'd made years earlier and still noone will buy it, I mean they 
look with interest and say, sorry that is TOO bad.


JW: What do you play in it?

HG: I played a sort of Scottish journalist and I never understood 
what the hell was going on - we were chased by neo-Nazis on the 
Orient Express and I kept having dreams about Dobermans and, it's a 
shocker.

Paris, France was made in Toronto and had a certain cult success here. I didn't see it but the friend of mine who did also saw Night Train to Venice years ago at some sort of bad movie night, maybe at someone's house, and would confirm that it is terrible. If it never had any release, maybe he knew someone who had a promo video?

I think the interview was from a while back, it must be on DVD by now.

From, I think, the very next year:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5b/Mad_city_poster.jpg

Wish every Travolta movie poster was composed like that. A dead-eyed Danny and Sandy scowling into the camera, etc.

Night Train to Venice is, in fact, available on DVD now (Region 2 only though)

OK, but my friend would have told me about seeing it about 20 years ago. He had another friend who worked as a professional film editor and who was able to obtain films that weren't generally accessible.

I mean, if anyone wants to see it (I am curious based on the wikipedia description)

(and obviously I like watching trash)

Travolta had red hair in White Man's Burden, I remember that much

I suddenly remembered the forgotten White Man's Burden only because SFW was evoked and I had a Proustian rush back to that night in '96 when I watched the two back-to-back in a vicodin haze. 0/10, would not recommend.

Primer

Seemingly forgotten, maybe not so rightfully.

I wouldn't say forgotten, but maybe kind of politely elided these days

I never forget movies based around time travel paradoxes and all that shit, even the most terrible ones.

but fair to say it was no Timecrimes

Nor Timecop.

In which one could only go back in time, not ahead. Why? "Because the future hasn't happened yet."

and that's the only one I did forget!
