Hi,
what I would like to know is what I missed along the way. Here are a few little known movies that I plan on watching every once in a while
1)Rhustlers Rhapsody - a satire of Westerns that slyly spoofs modern values instead
2) Soapdish -the perfect comedy, if comedies were rated on a ten point scale, this is a 10.1
3)A Walk in the Clouds - A romantic movie done the old fashioned way, good performances from the entire cast, very nice cinematography.....if you've ever said they don't make movies the way they used to, they did with this one. Deserves a big screen.
4)Oblivion - this is definitely a guilty pleasure, this is a campy dumb scifi/western that I make a point to watch every time it comes around. Mostly for those of us who like goofy and grew up on Star Trek
5)My Favorite Year - a charming romantic comedy set in the 50's
Follow Ups:
That film wasn't even good enough for Star Trek fans. Maybe good enough for Musetta Vander fans.
How about: 1) Trouble in Mind. Excellent Alan Rudolph film with Kris Kristopherson, Lori Singer, Keith Carradine and Divine, as Hilly the mob boss. 2) The Stunt Man. Peter O'toole as the mad (what else) film director and delicious Barbara Hershey. 3) The Loved One. a morbid comedy with excellent writing and performances by jonathan Winters, John Geilgud, robert Morris and rod Steiger as "Mr. joyboy". Way ahead of its time.
I haven't seen The Loved Ones film but the novel is one of our favorites. Rod Steiger? That alone makes it worth seeing.
Steiger is unforgettable in that role! I don't think the film is available on dvd as yet but perhaps vhs. A young Paul Williams (the singer) also has a role as the young rocketeer!
I told my wife about it and she wants it. So I will check our store. Thank you for reminding me about this one. We both fell in love with the novel during our first year of marriage, and I stole the book from the company library... sorry, there was no way to buy it, but we HAD to have it.
1) "Electric Dreams" - A cute love-story/music-video movie about an artificially intelligent PC that falls in love with its owner's girlfriend, Virginia Madsen.2) "They Call Me Trinity" - A cute spaghetti western spoof about a loaf-about gunglinger, Terence Hill, & his less galant brawling brother, Bud Spencer. They try to be ornery outlaws, but somehow manage to be coherced into helping people instead.
3) "Support Your Local Sheriff" - Another western sppof. James Garner plays another non-chalant Maverik character who's headed west on his way to Australia & becomes a temporary sheriff for expenses. That is until the gets distracted by Joan Hackett, the mayor (Henry Morgan) 's daughter.

One I haven't see for a long time was an Italian Spaghetti-western spoof called "Lemonade Joe" featuring a purer than pure Hero who dresses in white, and drinks only Lemonade.
One sequence in film had Joe being killed, and as they show the grave, some guy comes into the scene and does a sales pitch for "Kola-Loca" lemonade (the bottle looked suspiciously like a Coca-Cola bottle), then pours it on the grave & Joe rises from the grave--white suit still spotless.
INCREDIBLE!!!
AT THE END I FIND SOMEONE WHO REMENBER, THAT FILM; FOR ME AND ALL MY FAMILY WAS ONE OF THE MOST FUNNY FILMS WE HAD NEVER SEEN; IT WOULD BE GREAT TO FIND IT IN VIDEO; ANY BODY KNOWS HOW TO GET IT?
THAN YOU, "JOE FRIENDS" !!!!
the move is Czechosovakian... but is still an major HOOT and a Half
"Limonádový Joe aneb Konská opera" was a super-hit back then in the USSR.
