    The Obscure, Unusual, or just plain BAD Movie Thread

    Not wanting to take the Occupation Thread any farther off course, I thought I might start a new one where we can nostalgically wax cinematic.


    Films mentioned so far:

    ‘Shakes the Clown’ (somehow I've missed seeing that one)
    ‘Bucaroo Banzai’ --- “…that’s ‘Big-boo-TAY’”
    ‘Yellowbeard’


    Already an 'illustrious' list, to which I submit one of my all-time favorites:

    ‘Brazil’


    Keep`em coming!

    Good idea, E-ZooZoo! I don't mind thread hijacks, but I know a lot of other people do!

    Throw Eraserhead up on that list while you're at it. I haven't see that one since high school. Anyone remember it?

    As for Brazil, I would just say that I'm unable to discuss Brazil without bringing Gilliam's two other insanity-themed films into the context - The Fisher King and 12 Monkeys. I've been meaning to do a marathon of the three ever since 12 Monkeys came out, but I have never gotten around to it. One of these days...

    I got one!

    Alright - this the greatest in obscure unknown flicks. "Meet the Feebles" - directed by Peter Jackson (Of Lord of the Rings and King Kong fame). This film is an underground "Muppets on Acid" show! BIZARRE but great amusement! Here is a link to some clips: http://tbhl.theonering.net/films/mee...es_movies.html


    Enjoy!

    Worst movie ever:
    Brothers in Arms
    Even more horrible than the movie is the Director's Commentary.


    Favorite odd movie:
    Bubba Ho Tep
    Bruce Cambell at his *second* best...

    Here! Here! My favorite movie of all time too! Check this out:



    I snapped this shot when I was up in Seattle. They have a Sci-Fi museum there. These are the original costumes worn by J.F., Rachael and Zhora. Pretty sweet to see!

    I second that.

    When I was little I didn't understand it, but it is by far my favorite film now.

    It is based upon the 1968 science fiction novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. I found the novel online and loved it. It brings more light to the movie.
