Movie you though YOU only saw... — Page 2

Troop Beverly Hills - love it!

I've never met a single soul who's seen this awful mid 70s film. (I used to think I'd dreamt it, until I found the stuff at the bottom online):

"Love Me Deadly" -- starring Lyle Waggoner, Christopher Stone, and "introducing" Mary Wilcox. It was NOT a comedy, but a sicko tale of a necrophiliac who sneaks around, unable to stop attending funerals, because she gets off with corpses. I kid you not. Creepy in extreme, all the more so for its "seriousness," (i.e. flashbacks to childhood trauma, a la 3 faces of eve). It ended with the gal finally getting off with old Lyle once he was, uh, a stiff (!).

The bad guy was a bisexual necropheliac undertaker (Not another move about THOSE!) who turned his eye candy -- midnight cowboys and tired hookers -- into dead candy, i.e. always available ick tricks. I remember his opening line to the leading lady, "...I've noticed your affection for the dead..."

Perhaps Lyle used his Carole Burnette residuals to buy up all copies and destroy it, a la John Travolta and Lily Tomlin for that debacle they made.

Here's what I just found on it, which tells more than you might want to know (including a vivid description of the hustler-embalming sequence):

How about "Puzzle Pieces" an early 80's horror film.

"Children of the Living Dead"

ive seen mac and me.

TheaterBaby I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seen that dreadful Alice in Wonderland film. My friend and I used to watch it and spend half of the time laughing and the other half being freaked out. One scene that was particulary disturbing was where Carol Channing turns into a goat in front of Alice, wierd stuff. And the Jaberwoky scene seemed like something out of a regected Star Trek movie.

I have that Alice In Wonderland on tape somewhere....

that thing disturbed me when I was small.. I had nightmares.


Carol Channing was scary in her own right in that

Rags to riches is the best call!!! Mr. foley and foley foods! i wanted to be an orphan so bad..hahah not really but all these orphans were getting adopted by rich folks

XANADU is a classic and everyone should see it. Forget the bad acting and lip-out-of-snycing. The music is fab and olivia was at her best. In all honesty, I think Baz should direct a remake. Such potential!

*SIGH*

I'll have to break out the CD now.

anybody blue....anybody needin' someone too...anyone feelin' cold?

I would LOVE to see a Baz remake of Xanadu! Great idea Mister Matt :)

Other movies that have been mentioned that I've seen: Ferngully, Rockadoodle, and Babes in Toyland. Anyone here see The Brave Little Toaster? That movie scared the crap out of me when I was 3!

Here's a movie that I'm positive no one else has seen: Scruffy. I had this movie when I was little and LOVED it. It's a cartoon about a puppy and her mother who are abandoned and the puppy is forced to live on the street after her mom dies. It's all good though, because Scruffy gets a loving family in the end. They really make depressing movies for kids, don't they?

I LOVE The Pebble and the Penguin!

I just remembered another one.

The Mouse and His Child

I saw it in the theatre when I was a kid and I loved it. Once every ten or twelve years it will be shown as a Saturday afternoon movie some random independent channel. I loved that film.

Holy Moses, what a thread!!

No one could DARE to remake Xanadu without Livvy!!!!! How could anyone THINK to remake the "Citizen Kane" of post-disco, pre-MTV, roller skating, neon colored, 40's boogie-woogie musicals involving goddesses falling for a hot California him-bo. And there was a cameo by the Tubes, fer cryin' out loud. IRREPLACEABLE!!!

You have probably seen Zardoz, featuring Sean Connery jumping into a giant flying God-head and whooshed off to a planet where they all listen to Beethoven, read L. Frank Baum, the men are impotent and the women all want of piece of Sean's hot Scottish ass. Except of course, for icy, icy Charlotte Rampling who...oh you just got to see it! Connery wears a red diaper for the entire movie and the whole thing is like a Sid and Marty Krofft production gone WAY off the rails.

You probably haven't seen What's SO Bad About Feeling Good? with Mary Tyler Moore as an East Village bohemian nihilist who turns into a happy go lucky Stepford wife after contracting a feel-good virus from a Brazilian toucan that gets loose. Beyond belief.

Oh, and the film we were all obsessed with when I was a kid was "The Amtyville Horror" with perky Margot Kidder doing calisthenics wearing one sock and a surprisingly hot n manly James Brolin. And of course Rod Steiger playing the biggest drama queen priest you've ever seen!

The Last Unicorn is a classic, even with that Dan Fogelberg meets Michael Bolton theme-song. Thuh Laast Yoooouuunikaaaaaaaaaaaahrn!!!!!!!!!!!
