Mediocre movies that you remember, but nobody else does-Part II

Anywhere But Here- Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman play a mother and daughter who move to LA.

Prophecy (1979)

A log company's toxic waste mutates the environment, creating a giant killer bear-monster.

The cast includes Talia Shire, Robert Foxworth and Armand Assante.

The Last of the Dogmen- Tom Berenger and Barbara Hershey find a tribe of Native Americans living in seclusion in Montana.

Valentine (2001)- slasher revenge movie. A lot of horror fans hated it, but I loved it.

Windows. Shrink Elizabeth Ashley becomes obsessed with patient Talia Shire. Only film legend Gordon Willis directed.

Jagged Edge - starring DL fave Glenn Close

R4 Valentine was great fun. I'm glad it's starting to develop a cult fanbase a bit.

Silent Scream with Yvonne DeCarlo and Barbara Steele. The trailer alone was terrifying.

Scavenger Hunt (1979) - a C- and D-list cast race around San Diego trying to win Vincent Price’s estate. I loved this as a kid but tried to watch it recently and it was a chore. That cast though!

“Physical Evidence” with Burt Reynolds and Theresa Russell

“Getting It Right”, a sweet coming-of-age story with Jesse Birdsall, Helena Bonham-Carter, Jane Horrocks and Lynn Redgrave

Marathon Man

“Wives and Lovers” with Janet Leigh, Van Johnson, Shelley Winters, Martha Hyer and Ray Walston. Winters plays a more sophisticated character than usual and is also much more restrained than usual.

The Queen of Babylon, starring Rhonda Fleming and Ricardo Montalban. Ultra-cheesy historical drama. Glorious.

The Sins of Jezebel, with queens George Nader and John Hoyt

"Impulse" with Meg Tilly and Tim Matheson.

R15 reminded me of another one from the early 80s - “Endangered Species” with JoBeth Williams and Robert Urich. Kind of a proto- X Files conspiracy thriller about cattle mutilations.

Endangered Species was good for getting a brief glimpse of Robert Urich naked.

Having A Wild Weekend (1965) starring the Dave Clark 5 but really only Dave Clark. It was actually a drama.

Career Opportunities. Stars Frank Whaley, Jennifer Connolly, John Candy and Dermot Mulroney. Came out in 1991.

Whaley's character is a janitor who gets locked inside a Target for the night. Connolly is also stuck inside the store.

No one seems to remember this movie.

Oops. Here's the real trailer.

Off Beat (1986) starring Judge Reinhold and Meg Tilly

Only The Lonely (1991) starring John Candy, Maureen O'Hara and Ally Sheedy

Career Opportunities was written and co-produced by John Hughes but it is mostly forgotten - much like Hughes’ Dutch and Curly Sue from the same year. I had fallen in love with Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer (well, her and Bill Campbell) so I sought out Career Opportunities but I don’t remember much about it.

Mona Lisa Smile

I remember Career Opportunities

Dad starring Ted Danson and Jack Lemmon

I’d forgotten “Career Opportunities”, but that trailer above reminded me of it. Weren’t they skating around the store to a Betty Boo song?

Another obscure one is “Blue”, a strange 1968 Western that was director Silvio Narizzano’s follow-up to “Georgy Girl”. Robert Redford walked out after agreeing to do the film and was replaced by Terence Stamp (!!) Stamp doesn’t speak for the first forty five minutes of the movie and when he finally does, his struggle with an American accent is very evident. Also with Joanna Pettet, Karl Malden, Ricardo Montalban, and the gaudiest nighttime skies ever committed to film.

sibling rivalry. Summer school. Madhouse.

Watched Roxy Carmichael the other night. It's actually quite decent despite the unbelievable plot. Winona Ryder plays the intelligent outcast, which was a role she made famous at the time. The film feels very Burtonesque, but throws in a Mellissa Etheridge soundtrack and even a lesbian subplot. Winona's love interest is adorably whipped for her and the friendship she forms with her female guidance counselor is also very touching. Jeff Daniels credibly plays a middle aged loser, a role he was typecast in as well. It's a quirky film with lots of flaws but worth watching.

Does anyone remember "Harlequin"? My mom used to let me take 2 friends for a nice dinner and a movie for my birthday every year and this was the film I chose for my 9th birthday. For my 11th birthday, I chose "The Entity" starring Barbara Hershey. I believe that year was the end of said birthday tradition.

Dragonfly- supernatural move that starred Kevin Costner, Kathy Bates, and Linda Hunt in a small role

Autumn in New York- romance movie that paired Richard Gere and Winona Ryder together. Vera Farmiga played the daughter of Gere's character.

Night of he Lepus (1972) - giant killer bunny rabbits. starring Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh and Rory Calhoun.

The Mystery of the Bloody Tampon with Allison Williams and Charo.

The Mind of Mr Soames, a mediocrity starring the lovely Terence Stamp

[quote] Only The Lonely (1991) starring John Candy, Maureen O'Hara and Ally Sheedy

That was just on cable about a week or two ago.

R35 Yes, and it isn't mediocre.

Play It to The Bone- boxing movie with Antonio Banderas, Woody Harleson, Lolita Davidovich, Lucy Liu, and Tom Sizemore

Hello Again..shelly Long chokes and dies and brought back to life by her sister.

Back in the day, when HBO wasn't on 24 hours a day and they seemed to have a limited library, it would show "Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe" constantly.

I think I watched it every time it was on, and when we got a VCR that was probably the size of our sectional couch, it was the very first thing I recorded.

I just thought it was the most glamorous movie every, and it made me want to order a "bombe" for dessert in a fancy restaurant.

Once Around

Harry and Walter Go to New York

“Banning” from 1967. Drama and romance among the country-club set. Features a terrific Oscar-nominated song by Quincy Jones, “The Eyes of Love”.

Youngblood- 80s hockey movie that starred Rob Lowe.

R40, I love Once Around. I haven’t seen it in ages.

Mediocre would be high praise for this one.

Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn (tv 1970's)

A teenaged boy arrives in Hollywood to become a movie star, but winds up becoming a male prostitute and gets involved with a gay football star. With, wait for it, Eve Plumb as his girlfriend.

“The Manitou” starring Tony Curtis, Burgess Meredith, and Susan Strasberg. “Alien” was the same movie, but way more popular.

Dominick and Eugene with Tom Hulce and Ray Liotta as a working class garbageman who's semi-mentally challenged and his very intelligent brother--they're orphans and Liotta wants to go to med school and Hulce wants to pay for him. They take a shower together which my teenaged self thought was hot AF

Actually thought it was much better than mediocre at the time but wondering if it will hold up

Forgot the link

Cop Land with Stallone, DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Cathy Moriarty, etc.

Bonnie's costume and wig are hideous.

R48 I remember that movie. Jamie Lee Curtis played Liotta's love interest and I thought they were mismatched.

My Life In Ruins is comedy with Nia Vardolos as a tour guide in Greece, the dude from The Durrells as the coach driver and an assorted group of ethnic stereotypes as the passengers.

I watch it once a year.

The Cure(1995) starring Brad Renfro, Joseph Mazzello, Annabella, and Diana Scarwid. Mazzello's character played a kid who became infected with HIV through a blood transfusion and he befriends Renfro's character.

Agree R52

She was a wealthy fellow med student who understood his special relationship with Hulce.

R9 there was an actor with the first name 'Scatman?

Lorenzo's Oil

The Charlie Sheen/Kiefer Sutherland version of The Three Musketeers

The Man Without a Face

Sommersby - featuring Jodie Foster and Richard Gere as the world's least likely romantic pairing

Wolfen and Looker - an Albert Finney double feature

Every queen with a tv in the 70s watched Alexander. Nobody forgot it. We also knew it was a sequel to Dawn Portrait of a Teenage Runaway starring Miss Eve Plumb.

Shadow of the Vampire (2000), laughably schlocky fictional retelling of the filming of classic silent horror film Nosferatu. In this version, Max Shrek the actor playing Nosferatu, turns out to actually [italic]be[/italic] a real vampire who ends up killing most of the cast and crew.

John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe together both camp up the screen like no other.

Let it Be Me

Whoops, fucked that up at r61

Clifford with Martin Short. Bizarre. He brought it up on his recent tour with Steve Martin and I was literally the only person in the audience (in a pretty large venue) who clapped.

Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights

There were several 90s sports related movies that have been pretty much forgotten.

Eddie- Whoopi Goldberg's character becomes coach of the New York Knicks

Little Big League was that kids movie where the kid becomes owner/manager of the Minnesota Twins after his grandfather dies.

Celtic Pride the movie where nutcase Celtic fans Daniel Stern and Dan Akroyd kidnap the star of a rival team.

The Scout- baseball movie with Brendan Fraser and Albert Brooks.

R63 I remember that movie being advertise in the spring of 1994. I was 14 then and briefly considered going to see it because I thought it was going to be a live action movie of Clifford the Big Red Dog, which I enjoyed reading as a kid. But according to the TV spots Martin Short played a spoiled 10-year-old or some shit like that. It looked too bizarre, as you said.

^ Don't forget The Fan (Robert DeNiro as an obsessed sports fan), Rookie of the Year (silly kids movie about a Little Leaguer who joins the big leagues), and the shitty Angels in the Outfield remake

Can't forget Little Big League. A young kid's grandpa(Jason Robards) dies and he inherits the Minnesota Twins. He was cute and owned a baseball team, I was all about it.

I see r65 now. Kill me

"A Kid in King Arthur's Court" (1995)

Probably only memorable now for featuring Daniel Craig and Kate Winslet very early in their careers. I had a thing for Thomas Ian Nicholas at the time, so I watched it, as well as the direct-to-video sequel "A Kid in Aladdin's Palace."

R67 I forgot about The Fan. I remember For The Love of the Game which starred Kevin Costner as an aging baseball pitcher and Kelly Preston as his love interest.

Another 90s sports movie that is forgotten is The Sixth Man. It was about two brothers Kadeem Harrison and Marlon Wayons who played college basketball. Kadeem's character dies early in the film and comes back as a ghost to help his brother and the team.

[quote] I had a thing for Thomas Ian Nicholas at the time

As did most gaylings at the time. He was really hot in the American Pie movies.

R66 it is strange but surreal and hilarious. Charles Grodin as an uncle with Martin Short playing a conniving, evil 10 year old with a dinosaur obsession.

R67 Most people probably don't know that the movie got a made for TV sequel starring a young Matthew Lawrence.

On the subject of sports related movies, there was Air Bud and its sequels.

Add me to the list of gaylings who loved Thomas Ian Nicholas

R60 I LOVED Shadow of the Vampire when it came out.

I remember that period in the 90s when a bunch of sports movies targeted to kids were made. As a kid I liked those movies and had VHS copies of Angels In The Outfield, The Mighty Ducks movies, Little Giants, The Sandlot, and Rookie of the Year. As an adult I saw how awful those movies were, but some of them are still entertaining.

R74 I remember that made for TV movie. There was a period in the 90s where ABC did TV movie remakes of a few 70s Disney movies like Freaky Friday and Escape to Witch Mountain. The remakes would premiere on ABC and then the Disney Channel would reair them a bunch of times. The Freaky Friday remake starred Shelly Long and Gabby Hoffmann and the Escape to Witch Mountain remake featured a young Elisabeth Moss as one of the twins.

R78 The Mighty Ducks and The Sandlot both have attained cult status but those sequels were truly mediocre or awful.

I like D2: The Mighty Ducks, but I hated the third movie. The direct to DVD sequels to The Sandlot were awful.

A Sandlot sequel series is in the works for Disney + . The original cast is supposedly to be coming back and it's set in the 1980s when the guys are in their 30s and have their own kids.

Thomas Ian Nicholas! Man, that's a name from the past. I was a kid when those movies came out and I had such a crush on him.

Another mediocre forgotten kids movie of the 90s. The Babysitters Club adaptation that starred Sissy Spacek's spawn Schuyler Fisk and Rachael Leigh Cook.

The Temp - starring Lara Flynn Boyle

Are Casper and Twister considered mediocre? I sure do remember loving them as a kid.

I remember many critics panned Twister. But, audiences loved it and it was a high grossing film.

TWISTER and CASPER are still remembered. The former is a favorite of many storm chasers/enthusiasts, and the latter was childhood viewing for many.

Twister was the movie event of 1996, until Independence Day stole its thunder. ID4 was #1 for the year, and Twister was #2.

Twister and Casper still air quite a bit on cable. Casper usually gets aired every year around Halloween.

I remember the previously mentioned movies like Dominick and Eugene and The Man Without A Face being aired quite a bit on cable years ago. I haven't seen either one in a long time.

Penelope. Natalie Wood starred as a rich bankers wife holds up his bank and is a kleptomaniac and steals all their rich friends jewels. Dick Shawn plays her psychiatrist.

[quote]Don't forget The Fan (Robert DeNiro as an obsessed sports fan)

I think I speak for all of DL when I say there’s only one film titled The Fan worth remembering.

[quote][R60] I LOVED Shadow of the Vampire when it came out.

So did I, R77. I think it's a masterpiece. Camp in the very best way. The scene where Max Schreck is sitting with the film crew having lunch is hilarious.

De-Lovely

Random Hearts (1999) with Kristin Scott Thomas and Harrison Ford

Lost Souls (2000) -- Winona Ryder plays some Catholic paranormal woman investigating a man who she believes is the anti-Christ on earth. Demonic possession/devil movies were in during this period apparently.

Stigmata Horse Whisperer Scarlett J first movie.

R78 and don't forget The Big Green- a movie about kids starting a soccer team in rural Texas. They suck until an undocumented kid named Juan joins the team, but then the rival team threatens to deport him.

It starred the fat kid and Squints from The Sandlot. And Steve Guttenberg.

I loved Stigmata. Gabriel Byrne was a priest I would definitely fuck.

Stopover Tokyo with robt wagner….sexy when ur 9....

Solar Babies. It's from 1986 and I remember a sexy young Adrian Pasdar and rollerblades.

Speaking of shitty sports movies for kids.....how about Ladybugs, starring Rodney Dangerfield and the late Jonathan Brandis?

R100 That's a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm getting nostalgic for many of those forgotten Disney films of the 90s. It seems like Disney doesn't make those kind of films any more. Million Dollar Arm had that 90s feel but for the most part it seems like they are banking exclusively on live action remakes and sequels.

Ladybugs is another guilty pleasure of mine.

Another Jonathan Brandis movie that was a guilty pleasure was Sidekicks with Chuck Norris.

Stigmata and Lost Souls reminds me of Bless the Child, from 2000, where Kim Basinger investigates a child with special powers~ that a cult is trying to kidnap or something.

TRansamericia Felecity Hoffman may have gooten Oscar nomination and won a few awards but does anyone actually remember it? The director hasn't made another film...

There was also a supernatural film with Kevin Bacon and Justine Bateman in the late 90s. I forgot what it's called.. apparently supernatural horror was a big deal in the late 90s

I remember Transamerica mostly from Felicity's comment about how the crew guys all vied to be her stunt cock .

I was pissed that Transamerica was nominated for an Oscar.

Other mediocre films that came and went: (so many in the 1990s).

Curly Sue (1991)

L.A. story (1991)

Plains, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

Ransom (1996)

Backdraft (1991)

A Walk In The Clouds (1995)

Back in the 70s remember:

The Greek Tycoon (1978)

Coma (1978) Genevieve Bujold was great in this.

"Bless The Child" is extremely watchable, primarily because of its sheer awfulness. Everything in it is laughable: the plot, the lines, acting, you name it.

"Stigmata" is actually a good example of the type of the movie we've been discussing here: I remember seeing it when it came out, didn't hate it but it was completely unremarkable, I completely forgot about it almost immediately and I hadn't thought about it in 10+ years until it was mentioned here.

Oh, and, "LA Story" is anything but mediocre or completely forgotten. I would say it's one of my favorite LA-themed movies and certainly my favorite Steve Martin movie. I know a number of people who love it.

I think Planes, Trains & Automobiles is seen as a minor classic, one of the great 80s comedies. It never did much for me, but it seems to have stood the test of time.

L.A. Story is a great freaking movie! But that one seems to have slipped out of the public consciousness. If so, that’s a shame.

This movie from the early 2000s with Brittany Murphy (RIP). I saw it and don't remember the plot except for this scene.

R112 That was Don't Say A Word.

Another mediocre forgotten romance movie is Sweet November with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.

R113, thanks! I saw it in the theater too.

R105 Stir of Echoes?

Michael J. Fox's Life With Mikey from the early 90's.

It was pretty forgettable.

The first movie I remember going to as a child was “Food of the Gods,” a horror movie about animals who drink a substance and grow bigger than humans, who they kill.

I was 6.

R116, that's the one!

Surf Ninjas

This thread has me wanting to rewatch Stigmata again. I remember seeing it in '99 or 2000 and thinking it just felt like a really long music video. I don't even remember there being a story, but I recall how everyone was expecting it to be the next Exorcist and it...uh...wasn't. Exorcist II maybe.

Grew up in the 90s and remember watching a lot of these films in the theater.

[quote] it just felt like a really long music video

Wasn' the soundtrack by Smashing Pumpkins or Billy Corgan? And it did feel like an extended music video.

"The Brass Bottle"

And Natalie Imbruglia sings Identify.

[quote]Grew up in the 90s and remember watching a lot of these films in the theater.

I did too.

Bless the Child reminded me of another mediocre movie Kim Basinger did after her Oscar win.....I Dreamed of Africa. This one pretty much vanished from the public consciousness.

Did anyone mention "Forces of Nature" with Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck? The epitome of mediocrity.

Bounce with Gwynnie and Ben Affleck is another one I saw in the theater but I can't remember anything about it

The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp. Something about satanic rare book collectors in Europe.

View from the Top- the movie where Gwyneth Paltrow played a white trash girl who becomes a flight attendant. Mark Ruffalo played her love interest.

^^Ruffalo was fucking hot in that movie. He's pretty much the only thing I remember about it, aside from Paltrow bad-mouthing the film upon release.

R132 What did she say about him?

I used to like Ruffalo. But, after his whiny BernBro crap a few years ago, I can't stand him.

She didn't say anything about Ruffalo specifically, just that she thought View From The Top was crap and she was embarrassed to have to promote it.

R132 agree. He looked so good in his shorts and shirt driving his boat. Laid back and relaxed and Hot as hell.

I think that's the first movie I saw him in, too.

That 90s zombie movie My Boyfriend's Back. WHET Andrew Lowery?

Bogus(1996) the weird movie where Haley Joel Osment is orphaned after his mother's death and is sent to live with his mother's foster sister played by Whoopi Goldberg. Haley's character has a imaginary friend named Bogus played by Gerard Depardieu.

The movie was a weird guilty pleasure of mine because of how awful Whoopi and Gerard were.

Johnny Be Good with Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Michael Hall and Uma Thurman.

"That 90s zombie movie My Boyfriend's Back. WHET Andrew Lowery?"

I was just thinking the same thing when I watched School Ties recently. Btw, is he gay?

SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOOON

scarey spooky thriller bout 2 old foks who kidnap a girl at the beheast of a spirit

kim Stanley was our brando

AND DONT FERGIT IT

I remember View From the Top and I seem to recall having a few laughs with it, so it couldn't have been that terrible. Not terribly memorable, I suppose, but not a complete train wreck either.

R139 I have wondered if he is gay. He pinged like hell in both School Ties and My Boyfriend's Back.

Hello Again! Shelley Long AND Corbin Burnsen.

High School High- the movie parodied all those teacher in urban high school movies.

"Shakes The Clown" (1991)

Death to Smoochy

The New Guy (2002) the weird high school comedy movie with DJ Qualls and Eliza Dushku.

My Father The Hero

There was an animated film called Robots that was released in 2005. All I remember is that Robin Williams voiced a character very similar to the Genie from Aladdin. I was reminded of it when I looked up Melanie Blatt on Wikipedia and saw that she recorded a song for the soundtrack.

The Trigger Effect (1996), with Elisabeth Shue -- A power outage in LA causes massive unrest and a dystopian existence.

I've never met another person who has seen this film.

I remember/saw so many of these that it’s weird!

I remember that movie being on cable a lot at one time, R150, but I never actually sat down to watch it because it looked “completely depressing”....

r150, I know I rented that back in the 90s because I was in lust with Dermot Mulroney but I couldn't tell you a damn thing that happens in the movie.

Has The Possession of Joel Delaney been mentioned? It's an obscure Shirley MacLaine movie of the 1970s and is actually quite interesting until it falls off the rails in the climax. Shirley is always funny playing a rich frau but here she gets involved in voodoo and the lower classes when her brother played by Perry King gets possessed by a Latino serial killer. The climax has a naked boy -not Perry - and forced dog food eating, and then a bizarre though predictable ending.

R153 Saw this movie years ago and the climax was chilling. Probably my favorite from all The Exorcist ripoffs.

I was chilled when Shirl pushed a woman out of the way to get entitled service at the Bellevue front desk.

I rented this movie because I had the hits for Gabriel Byrne at the time. It wasn't worth it.

The *hots* for crying out loud.

This is My Life (1992)- Julie Kavner starred as a single mother who becomes a stand up comedian. Samantha Mathis and Gaby Hoffmann played her daughters. Carrie Fisher and Dan Akroyd played her agents.

Carly Simon did the soundtrack for that, r158. I had the CD but never saw the movie. Creepy video with clips from the movie and Carly flirting with son Ben on guitar

Nothing creepy about that music video at all, R159.

She's singing about maternal love so of course her son (handsome devil, too) is front and centre in the clip. Good on them both for unapologetically celebrating one of the most primal emotions humans can experience.

Original Sin, with Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas. Advance publicity played up the "hot" love scenes but no one cared. When I saw it I was the only person in the theater.

R161 You can describe all of Angelina's movies this way. Amazing that she was considered an A Lister for so long.

444444444444444

OMG... Millennium starring Cheryl Ladd - takes place in a world, 1000 years in the future where smoking actually keeps people alive, where face lifts apparently involve just removing the skull and keeping the skin, and where flying is as glamorous as ever. Horrible ending, but fascinating story none the less.

The Great Santini

Moving Violations (1985)

The Great Santini used to be on cable all the time

Serial

No Small Affair

How To Beat The High Cost of Living

French Postcards

I love L.A. Story, too, R110

It's one of my favorites

Original Sin was a hoot. Also starring the very hot Thomas Jane. He has a a sexy scene with Angie where it appears he’s fucking her in the ass.

Troop Beverly Hills

R168 French Postcards was hilarious with Debra Winger, Mandy Patinkin in some of their first roles. Also, Miles Chapin and David Marshall Grant were both adorable.

Good one, R166. We used to love watching that in college after a tough exam just for some silly laughter.

Summer Catch- early 2000s baseball movie with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jessica Biel.

Summer Lovers

I liked that made for TV movie from the 1970s where a plane load of people land on an island. It turns hellish. They get their hopes up, then lose hope, repeatedly. I remember there is a fallen priest with them. Turns out, they're all dead, and in hell. We had a thread in it, a year or two ago.

Outside Providence (1999) - The first half was fantastic but then the second half went off the rails. Alec Baldwin, Shawn Hatosy, Richard Jenkins are all great in their roles and they manage the accent quite well. Of the few films to address class issues in America.

The Pallbearer with David Schwimmer, Gwyneth Paltrow and Barbara Hershey. One of Hollywood's many lame attempts to launch one of the Friends into leading film roles.

Trojan War, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and the older brother from Boy Meets World. I didn't realize that it was such a box office bomb! It only made $309 in ticket sales. No wonder why nobody else remembers it.

R179 That movie aired on cable quite a bit in that late 90s.

Speedway Junky, by Nick(olas) Perry. A tragic little time-capsule starring Jordan Brower & Jesse Bradford.

For R16, it stars Justin Urich (nephew to the late Robert) in an amusing supporting role as a car-jacking tranny-loving B-boy wastoid named Scooby.

"Hugo, the Hippo" a Greek? Romanian? Turkish? animated film dubbed into English and was just ... bad. Songs were by Marie and Jimmy Osmond.

"Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring," starring Sally Field, David Carradine, Eleanor Parker, Eddie Albert.

Kingdom Come (2001) a large black family comes home for the funeral of the family patriarch. Whoopi Goldberg is the matriarch, Cedric the Entertainer is the preacher, LL Cool J, Loretta Devine, Vivica A. Fox, Anthony Anderson, Toni Braxton, and Jada Pinkett Smith, play various members of the family. I found it hilarious, and me and my entire (white) family loved it, because it reminds us of funerals in our crazy family. It is one of our go to movies to watch as a family. However, the only people who seem to know what I'm talking about, when I mention it, are black people, so I would say white people don't remember it.

Casper with Christina Ricci. Pretty lame but my 8 year old self enjoyed it.

Tom and Jerry, the animated movie. Another movie I loved but was probably really bad in retrospect. I remember the songs as being pretty good (Henry Mancini was the composer) but critics hated them.

All Dogs Go to Heaven seems forgotten. I think it is even better than Fievel Goes West or its sequel.

I saw All Dogs go to Heaven in the theater when I was 10

A Kiss Before Dying (1991) with Max Von Sydow, Matt Dillon and Sean Young. I loved it.

Dennis the Menace with a terrifying performance from Christopher Lloyd, who is homeless and (maybe) a pedophile.

Actually, it's implied that he is a pedophile. And I cannot believe a movie studio, in the early 90s, thought to themselves "hey, let's feature a pedophile as the villain in this children's story!".

Point of No Return, 1993, starring Bridget Fonda as a former street junkie recruited as a super secret assassin agent by a mysterious black ops group. Totally stupid and silly but I loved it.

"Raggedy Ann: A Musical Adventure."

Condorman (1981). Starring Michael Crawford , Oliver Reed, James Hampton, and Barbara Carrera.

It was Disney's attempt for a James Bond rip-off and I liked it, but I don't think this movie was ever even mention on DL (or anywhere). LOL

The Incredible Shrinking Woman with Lily Tomlin and Charles Grodin.

Motel Hell

Wrist Cutters Picnic at Hanging Rock (Aussie one)

The Bedroom Window with Steve Gutenberg and Isabelle Huppert. An odd pairing but it works.

Night of the Gun with Andrew McCarthy, Sharon Stone, and Valeria Galino. (WEHT . . . )

COLOSSUS: The Forbin Project

R190 I didn't get any pedophilic vibes from this movie but then again I saw it as a kid. The real life Dennis grew up to be a hunk but is no longer acting.

Foxfire with Angelina Jolie. The only thing I remember is a naked Peter Facinelli running through the woods.

R190 lol I forgot about that one.

R201, he is portrayed like the kind of man who probably waits for kids to prowl around by themselves so he can abduct them. If you watched it today, you'd definitely pick up on it.

Eye of the Cat (1969). A great unknown piece of Hagsploitation with Elenor Parker and Michael Sarazzan. The runaway wheelchair scene is amazing.
