When I did Land of 1000 Dances in Marching/Pep band, all I could think of was the dance scene.

Ahhhh.... 2nd Grade memories....

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"

How about "Mac and Me"? It's a tale of an alien family being sucked up by a space probe and taken to Earth they escape, the little boy alien gets lost and causes all sorts of trouble for a human family. (All the aliens eat or drink on Earth is pop through a straw.)

Mistress it is sad but I have to say I love the dance break at McDonald's. That is quality stuff. Especially since there is absolutely no other singing and dancing in the entire movie. Everyone just decides to get up and start dancing at McDonald's.

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 loved Rags to Riches.....

and Teen Witch was great too.

Mary Stuart was awesome in Some Kind Of Wonderful

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

lol, Karma76... I loved the Last Unicorn! I used to watch it ALL the time! It always made me so sad though. I completely forgot about it though until you mentioned it.

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

AH! XANADU! I thought for the longest time that movie was made just for me!

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 2/17/04 at 3:59pm

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?

Xanadu was great!!! I remember going to myrtle beach one spring break (do not ask) and there was a place called Xanadu..but it was locked up. so weird gene Kelly was in that film

oh and I edited this cause broadwayguy2 I am now compelled to go to my parents house and riffle through a few draws to find the weird Alice in wonderland tape...a new kids video I BELIEVE quickly interrupts it but I know I have it on tape. Updated On: 2/17/04 at 04:41 PM

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?

[TheaterBaby]

Posted: 2/17/04 at 5:31pm

How about "The Pebble and the Penguin." I think that movie is adorable. lol I totally forgot about Rockadoodle. I did see it though.

OK, the worst movie in the world (which most people might not have heard of): "Splitting Heirs." I barely remember what it was about, but I know Rick Moranas is in it.

[MyNameInLights]

Posted: 2/17/04 at 8:21pm

I LOVE The Pebble and the Penguin!

[Princess MimiChica]

Posted: 2/17/04 at 9:20pm

ok, this is officially the best thread ever!!!!

I really thought nobody else had ever seen The Worst Witch. Tim Curry sings the best song in that, and Ferusia Balk (sp?) was so cute! "growing up isn't easyyy...wish the time would hurry by! will I ever learn to flyyyyyyyyy?"

Mac and Me made me cry!!! I still remember the whisteling noise that the boy did to communicate with Mac..

Troop Beverley Hills is why I became a Girl Scout!! "Beverley Hills, what a thrill!"

Oh, that Alice in Wonderland was trippy, the Jabberwalky always scared me!!! I remember seeing Carol Channinbg for the first time and not being able to stand listening to the song she sings...her voice freaked me out too much =)

Ahh, so many lost classics...Ferngully and Rockadoodle were the coolest!!!

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.

[Karma76]

Posted: 2/18/04 at 11:59am

i had the movie loft with alan hersey to thank for all these bad films. You know what mimichica i had forgot that was Fairusa Balk until you just said that..

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!!!!!!!!!!!

[Karma76]

Posted: 2/18/04 at 1:26pm

the last unicorn had the best eye shivering of any of those animations...you know the classic almost Japanese animation eye shiver...if you need help see force 5 for a reference. haha
and Borstalboy for you so you can sing it...i might have to watch my vhs tonight of it.

THE LAST UNICORN

When the last eagle flies
Over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars
At the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest
Though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving
At the Last Unicorn

When the first breath of winter
Throught the flowers is icing
And you look to the north
And a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying
And would leave the world to mourn
In the distance hear her laughter
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive

When the last moon is cast
Over the last star of morning
And the future is past
Without even a last desparate warning
Then look into the sky where through
The cloudes a path is formed
Look and see her how she sparkles
It's the Last Unicorn
I'm alive... I'm alive.
