"Hello this is Chuck to remind Bill to SHUT UP!
remind bill to SHUT UP!
to SHUT UP!
SHUT UP!"

That bit about feeding the mayo to the tunafish is one of my favorites.
Also when Bill buys the new car and he's showing Chuck all the features, then he says,
"Hey, you like music?"
You think he's going to turn on the stereo...but he goes into his air guitar routine again!

Another great bit is when that big redneck john is blasting country music from the hooker's apartment, so Chuck's girlfriend prods him to go next door and confront them, and there's this huge dude in a five gallon hat and what god gave him saying, "We got some DWARF here!"  Then the girlfriend asks Chuck what's going on over there:
"She runs a business...she sells cowboy hats."
"He was in his underwear!"
"....and underwear."

Speaking of...the movie's also got Shelley Long in her skivvies, and only one thing could be better...
;)
Shelley Long standing on the chair in her panties was a definitely a highlight  ;D  I think the song he air guitars to is Jumping Jack Flash, man I love this movie & need to get a copy.

Gotcha with Anthony Edwards

I was hoping someone could help me with this movie. I can't remember too many details. Here is what I do remember. There's 2 friends that take off from the city to the beach. They buy or rent a place and try to fix it up. I saw it when i was really littel so thats why i don't remember much. Something about stone wash jeans. If I remember correctly there is also a girl in the movie that is sort of a witch or devil. She grants wishes i think. for a moment i thought it was Andrew McCarthy(from mannequin) that was in it but i don't believe so. if you can help me or jog my memory with some questions I would love to hear from you!

hmmm  do you remember anything else... what did the house look like, what did they do?  Why stonewash jeans? Were they wearing them? Washing them? Buying them? Stealing them?

do you know if it was a feature film (played in theaters) or was it a TV movie... oh and was it American?

These two films I saw at the cinema with friends, and are imptrinted on my memory, so much I have not forgotten them.

Flight Of The Navigator - I used to love this movie.  Back then, I thought Sarah Jessica Parker was so hot!  Now IMO she looks like a horse.

I loved the movies like Fright Night/Lostboys (I must have had a vampire thing http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/10/vampy.gif) - I loved the movies that had a "scary" context about them - but are funny at the same time ; and they do not involve all the gore of todays film.

I see I am not the only person who like War of the Roses - anybody up for a chandelier swinging scene???

And my all time fave - "I WANT MY $2" and sliding jello stuff.  The movie still makes me laugh my socks off.

weird science!  kelly lebrock: "what do you two maniacs want to do first"! ;D

Nitpick:  It's "So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?".

Funny thing is that "She's alive" in the Oingo Boingo theme song was from Bride of Frankenstein.

And the really funny thing is that I can't find a mix of "Weird Science" in which that Kelly LeBrock sample appears.  WTF?  I know I've heard it sampled somewhere!

They use that clip in an (I believe) FX movie clips - where they show lots of clips of various movies that the channel is showing (I can think of some of the clips on the commercial are from League of their own, Indiana Jones, Mannequin etc..) but come to think of it, maybe that was a commercial from a few years back  :-\\

Weird Science is a classic.  I do not see it played any at all anymore.

I did however see one of the Channels playing "Overboard" last night.  Great Kurt Russel, Goldie Hawn movie!!!!  Whatever happened to all of the Goldie Hawn Movies (Private Benjamin, Protocol, Wildcats, or Bird on a Wire) .........  They are oldies but goodies.

weird science has been on a few times this summer I watched it twice  ;D  It was on one of those paid movie networks. I have Directv and get them all. 

"Gimme An F", basically "Bring It On" meets "Porky's" though a mediocre film

Defending your life with Albert Brooks, Rip Torn, Lee Grant and Meryl Streep. ( I know its 1990). but worth a mention.

Fandango :  One of Kevin Costner's first movies - and no - it isn't 3 hours long ! lol...

I really like this flick.  It's light, the music is great (Cream, Steppenwolf, etc) and it's not too long.    I thought Suzi Amis (who was in Twister and Titanic), was beautiful.  She was like this dream.  You'd have to see it...

To summarize: it's a story about some guys in '69 or so, who just graduated college.  They're going on a last road trip before they have to move on into the real world.  They set out to dig up a bottle of Dom Periogm (sp?) in Mexico.  It's about the adventure, not the destination...

This isn't a chick-flick, but it's also not an action-flick.  Just a drama; take it or leave it. 

  "Barfly" (1987 - Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway)...

   "Barfly" (1987 - Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway)...

  Ha!  Depressing has never been so much fun, maybe with the exception of "Times Square".  Faye also turns in a great performance...

  It's been about 15 years since I watched Barfly.  Ima have to check out amazon... :)

Fandango :   One of Kevin Costner's first movies 


That film was a blast......The Skydiving scene!!! ;D ;D ;D

How about Don Johnson's 1st film ever......

A Boy & His Dog!!!
About a drifter in a post apocalyptic world...
His dog can talk to him by telekinesis (the dogs the genius)& how the people stuck in the underground bomb shelter have become sterile ......& Need a new Man
Has Alvy Moore in it(Mr Kimball) & Jason Robards

A Boy & His Dog is one of my mom's favorite movies.  She made me watch it and I hated it. 

Real Genius was outstanding too especially the ending. Val Kilmar was so cute in that movie.

Max Dugan Returns

Max Dugan Returns


I loved this show as a kid; I have not seen (or even thought about) Max Dugan since my early teen years.  Bravo!


What about Drop Dead Fred; for some reason when I read Max Dugan - I remembered Martin Short as the obnoxious Fred????????

thanks, I love it also. It has a really good cast with Jason Robards as Max, a really young Matthew Broderick as his grandson, Marsha Mason and Donald Sutherland. I betcha it could be found fairly cheap on DVD.

Feds (1988) Rebecca De Mornay & Mary Gross  (SNL alum & sister of Family Ties Michael Gross)

Has Fright Night been mentioned? That was a fairly good one for it's time. Can't find it on DVD though

EDDIE  AND THE  CRUISERS

Michael Pare starred as Eddie in Eddie And The Cruisers in 1983 and had 2 other movies in the early 80's

Streets Of Fire  1984

The Philadelphia Experiment  1984


all 3 are excellent movies, well, I like them  8) 

The Dark Crystal (1982)

A movie I forgot about (and never saw on the other post, I am sorry if I repeat)  Clash of the Titans - 1981
I probably watched this movie more than I ever watched Raiders of the Lost Ark (even though I probably enjoyed Raiders more) but my big brothers would watch this movie every time it was on (and for a while it seemed like every weekend, it would be playing on some sort of channel).  I just can not believe how cheesey the special effects looked in this movie (and then there was Raiders, where the special effects looked so much better).  At times you can see the strings as Bubo flies around.  I guess they are remaking this one, we shall see.....


Oh an how about The Hitcher (1986) with C. Thomas Howell - this movie gave me and my friend the creeps for weeks after we went and saw it at the movie theater one weekend.  Chomping down on a bloody finger, instead of a french fry  - eeeewwwwwwww 8-P

I recently watched How I Got Into College and thought....I forgot all about this flick.  ;D

Big Man on Campus-stupid but funny.
The Pirate Movie

I loved "The Worst Witch".  My husband and I were just talking about it the other day.  It's an underrated Halloween move! 

Anyone remeber a movie called 'Little Spies'?

one of my favorite comedies from the early 80's  Henry Winkler & Michael Keaton in Night Shift

My friend loved that "Pirate Movie" - I had never heard of it, and it was pretty weird... but I have to admit, very funny!!

Pirate Movie is a classic.  I love it. :)

The Pirate Movie was based on Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Panzance.  I recommend the one with Rex Smith & Linda Ronstat. It is SOOOOO much better than the Pirate Movie.



Cat

It is SOOOOO much better than the Pirate Movie.


Disagree.  No way you're ever gonna get Gilbert and Sullivan to rake through the muck to sneak a line like this into a PG-rated movie.

"If you're treadin' water and romance is on the slide, don'tcha know you have to swallow something more than water? It's your pride."
  - Kristy McNichol, in a song called Pumpin' and Blowin', from The Pirate Movie.

Just damn.  The movie was rated PG!  You can hide it behind all the cartoon animated fish that you want, but it doesn't change the fact that there were parents in that theater!

We're watching "Mac and Me" right now.  Not as successful as "E.T." (which is why it's pretty much forgotten), but to me, a MILLION times better.

Another one is "The Flight of Dragons" (1982).  It isn't out on DVD (which pisses me off), but I have Google link bookmarked that shows the whole film.

Angel.   WOW!!!!  Forgot about that one.   Never saw it.  LOL.

One movie I have always loved was "After Hours" from 1986 starring Griffin Dunne. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLHM-wPecz0
Nobody I know, knows the film.

I saw it a long long time ago.

Tootsie (1982)      I actually watched the movie "Tootsie" last night.  Seriously.  It wasn't bad. I only fast-forwarded through a few parts.  There are many stars (or ex-stars) in the movie:       Dustin Hoffman       Bill Murray     Jessica Lange      Terri Garr    Geena Davis (in her underwear)      Dabney Coleman      Sidney Pollack  Charles Durning

Is that Rosanna Arquette as the "receptionist" at the Hoffman's audition for the Soap Opera?
Trailer:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlXE1Yq0AnQ

Liquid Sky (1983)     Probably the weirdest movie I have ever seen other than "Soilent Green" from the 70s.
First the music is extremely weird and disturbing.  The film is even weirder.  They dont make "futuristic" movies like this any more.
Trailer 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9-n9gpFVpk
Trailer 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwOHKKJxrgA&feature=related

Ten that come to my mind...

!)  Baby, The Secret of the Lost Legend
2) Ruthless People
3) The Secret of NIMH
4) Flight Of The Navigator
5) The Dark Crystal
6) Scrogged
7) Critters
8) Night of The Comet
9) Near Dark

and

Something Wicked This Way Comes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kocPwRVIfsM

El Norte (1983) a gem of a movie, foreign made, but very moving!

I love Tootsie there is nothing the fast forward thru.  That reminds me...... I know all the lines to this too.


Oh man JAime I love Night of the comet too...

i think NotC wasn't out on DVD for a long time, for some reason. yeah, it's a B-grade classic, i have a copy i taped off cable many moons ago.

did anyone ever see a movie called "One Dark Night", i think from 1983? meg tilly spends the night in a mausoleum as a sorority haze, unaware that a cultist with supernatural powers, and hilarity ensues.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51GMT13A51L._SL500_AA240_.jpg

it's sorta cornball but i've always liked it. didn't come out on dvd for forever and then about a year ago they released a 2-dvd collector's edition.  ;D most inexplicable collector's edition since "devil dog: the hound of hell."

the cultist leader guy can move stuff with his mind and gets energy from scaring people, so he uses his mind to slap dead people on poor meg's face. it sounds creepy but it's actually quite funny.

http://www.officialmegtilly.com/

she was also in a lesser-known 80s thriller called "impulse," in which some alien ray or killer supergerm or something makes people lose control of their impulses, and as a consequence lots of pretty people have sex. it's terrible to watch!

^ Nothing to do with the Will Smith/Martin Lawrence one LOL

I liked that Sean Penn one as well.  I never knew aobut it until a few years ago when I kept seeing it in the bargain bins at Wal-Mart, so I bought it and I really enjoyed it

I need to get me a copy. it's a good movie, well, it's good once he gets locked up, then the action ensues.  that really didn't sound right, but you know what I meant

Moving violations?
With all the Actors brothers and sisters in it!

Armed and Dangerous, with John Candy.

Speaking of which, I just watched Delarious, this weekend.

John Candy, Mariel Hemingway, Raymond Rurr, and Robert Wagner, were the best things about the film.

Here's a clip from the  '80's version of "Bring It On": "Gimme An F" featuring great choreograph.

I kinda liked ^this movie alot.... now you just reminded me of another forgotten teen flick...Last American Virgin oh this film broke my heart...


Criminally underrated and neglected. Incredible soundtrack too.

The ending just kicks you right in the gut.

most definitely Steve Antin's character is such a tool.

St. Elmo's Fire.  No one ever gives that movie or the title track props!

She's Out Of Control    starring Tony Danza and Ami Dolenz 

here's one I don't think got mentioned...

No Small Affair! Demi Moore & Jon Cryer

She's Out Of Control    starring Tony Danza and Ami Dolenz 


I LOVED this movie! Watched it whenever I could get a chance. I'd watch it right now, if I could, as it seems to have been ages since I saw it!

I have two right now.

Some Kind Of Wonderful (1987)
and
Heathers (1989)

not quite lost but both excellent films. heathers is out on blu-ray!

I LOVED this movie! Watched it whenever I could get a chance. I'd watch it right now, if I could, as it seems to have been ages since I saw it!
me too, and of course having a young daughter, I felt very much like Tony Danza in this film  ::)    I haven't seen it in a long time myself and am due for a viewing. it's fun and the ending just kills me.  ;D

I am sure you did!! It must be hard to watch your daughter grow up and be so pretty that every guy in town wants her. I am sure you most definetly had that problem with your daughter!  :) Yeah, I actually seem to remember the ending pretty well, but I won't spoil it for others who haven't seen it!!  ;)

it's funny in the movie when Tony comes home from business trip and the phone is ringing off the hook for his daughter and the doorbell is ringing with boys wanting to see her. 
it was hard for me when boys started calling and I try to be nice and not over protective. I betcha that dvd can be found for under ten bucks easy.

Here's a forgotten movie of the 80's: "Union City" (1980). The film takes place in the 1950's. It's about the search for a milk thief in a New Jersey apartment building that leads to murder.  It stars Debbie (Blondie) Harry and Everett McGill plus a quick cameo by Pat Benatar. Good film. Unfortunately little known.

I think I would have had to have heard of it to be able to forget about it  ;D

I gather you're not a Blondie fan OR from New York (or Jersey LOL !). To be fair it was an "Avante-Gard" film and played almost exclusively in art house cinemas which is where I saw it.

I like Blondie's music... but I think the only thing I saw Debbie Harry in was Satisfaction with Justine Bateman, Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts and Trini Alvadado.

Here's a movie I forgot about and maybe others have too.  Iceman  starring Timothy Hutton
I love it when the prehistoric iceman and Tim Hutton are sitting together and Tim starts singing Heart Of Gold and the cave dude loves it.  I wonder if the SNL character Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer got the idea from this movie  ::)

Here's another one: "Last American Virgin". Teen sex comedy about three guys, all best buds trying to get laid. The most memorable issue about the film (for me) is the music soundrack. It's Awesome. It features great songs from many artists.

Oh wow! An Innocent Man! That is a forgotten movie. It was great and I completely forgot about it til You mentioned it. Love the ending. Irony! Lol !

In the last year I have acquired both Flight Of The Navigator and Labyrinth on DVD, both totally worth it. Plus I still have Short Circuit and Summer School taped off cable from at least 10 years ago. I still dig out my old copy of Roxanne now & then as well. Does anyone but me remember Russkies or The Last Starfighter? I still laugh at & love all of these.

I have seen all the above mentioned movies on more than one occasion

The Nightmare On Elm Street series is all 80's for the most part. The original will never be forgotten but some of the sequels were very well done and never got too much credit. Precisely the 3rd and the 4th one.

My favorite was always the 4th one.

are  you kidding... the second one sucked to high heaven.... the only good thing about it was the fact that all the extras at the party at the end of the movie were high and it was funny to watch trying to 'react' to Freddy.


The only memorable thing about 3 was the girl into TV Set!  ;D 

I really liked New Nightmare...what was that? 6?  That was pretty good and very surreal!

I agree with you on the 2nd one, I didn't really like it. But the ones I pointed out were 3 and 4.  :)

New nightmare is the 7th one. Which came out in 1994. And yeah, it was a cool movie.

Here are some of my favorite forgotten 80s flicks:

Bad Boys (1983)
Clean and Sober (1988)
Crossroads (1986)
D.C. Cab (1983)
The Hollywood Knights (1980)
Hollywood Shuffle (1987)
Krush Groove (1985)
Little Darlings (1980)
Lost Angels (1989)

The only one on the list I haven't seen is Lost Angels.

"bad boys" is an old favorite of mine; now it's sorta obscure because of that crappy martin lawrence movie that came out in the 90s. the sean penn bad boys is very cool.

I like both Bad Boys movies...actually I like all three....i'm including the sequel to the Smith/Lawrence film....but if you wanna call Bad Boys (miami) a god awful film I'll watch it with ya!  ;D

So...I am really missing the movie, The Incredible Shrinking Woman...starring Lily Tomlin. OMG...if anyone happens to have it and can make a copy of it for me...I will love you forever! :-*

Bad Boys was one of Sean Penns best performances, but his best will always be as Jeff Spicolli


has Nighthawks been mentioned? Rutger Hauer as the terrorist Wolfgar. He's so good at playing the villain.

Rutger Hauer ALWAYS seemed to play the villain. Blade Runner, The Hitcher.

Ok, he wasn't the villain in Ladyhawke.



Cat

I can think of a few films that have been forgotten but one is causing me a major headache cos i can remember it but can't think of the title.

The Zone Troopers (green aliens from another world end up in world war 2 if i remember correctly)

The beast within (sort of like a cheap horror flick)

The Changeling (George C. Scott been a while since i last saw it)

Superstition/The witch (low budget horror film) original title was superstition

The film i have trouble with is sort of like robo-cop in a way but this is a scientist who is caught in the middle of an explosion his eyes are saved by protective goggles and is later transformed into a cyborg later in the film an assassin and her friends are sent to kill the cyborg the assassin uses a large like hatpin to kill their victims.
any ideas to the title would be gladly received.

not sure if this was early 80's no idea but Ron Howard played in it Grand Theft Auto obviously about stolen cars.

Jungle Burger ( low budget take on Tarzan but a cartoon adult themed)

Mac and Me i think about 1985 (family from outer space their son is missing they search for him he is discovered by a young boy in a wheelchair great kids film)

The Wraith (Charlie Sheen) about a person who is murdered then returns later as a mysterious person who drives a Porsche turbo interceptor

Repo Man (Emilio Estevez) he is a repo man sent to collect a car which has radioactive waste in the boot of the car

The Bronx Warriors 1 + 2 (sort of like the warriors but set in the Bronx area can't remember if it was from the 80's)

Zombie Lake (about a lake in France or Germany where former German soldiers were dumped in a lake and if people swim in the lake the dead come back to life and pay the local town a visit) not sure if from the 70's or 80's

Strykker (sort of post Apocalypse nuclear future about one guy who takes on gang my memory is sketchy on this only saw the film once)

Invasion of the blood farmers (low budget horror film about visitors from another planet harvesting blood)

Silent Rage (Chuck Norris) think he plays a cop who shoots a serial killer and the serial killer gets injected with a special chemical which enables the serial killer to die and come back to life again)

Enemy Mine (Dennis Quaid & Louis Gossett Jr) two sworn enemies are stranded on an alien world where they have to become friends to survive

Wanted: Dead or Alive (Rutger Hauer) Plays as a bounty hunter sent after a terrorist (played by Art Malik) good film

Shocker (Wes Craven film about a child killer i think called Pinky ?) he is sent to the electric chair and is somehow takes over tv's or something like that

Deadly Friend about a boy genius who builds an a.i type robot which gets destroyed his friend Sam is pronounced as brain dead and he uses the robot's chip to bring her back to life

I think that will do for now

The Wraith (Charlie Sheen) about a person who is murdered then returns later as a mysterious person who drives a Porsche turbo interceptor

Repo Man (Emilio Estevez) he is a repo man sent to collect a car which has radioactive waste in the boot of the car
good call on remembering these 2. The Wraith is a bit weird, but i still watch it whenever it shows, and Repo Man is ok too.  I pretty much like most films these brothers have made

Did I mention Extremities? a movie based on the play  both star Farrah Fawcett as a woman who turns the tables on her would be rapist!  Yeah! That was a good movie!

I worked at a movie theater when it was released...every woman who saw it loved it and every guy walked out hating it  ;D

I can't see the image mike but the link tells me its neighbors...and I concur!

Manhunter

The Hand

Cherry 2000 - Maybe this one should actually be forgotten.  ;D

Videodrome -  One weird movie.

Brazil - Another strange movie.  I have to see this one again.  I don't remember much about it.

Night Of The Comet - Zombies! YaY!

"After hours", with Griffin Dunne, hilarious film.

On no, sir, not forgotten to me!

I saw it when it came out and it was one of my favorites. Still is!

Later on, I lived it!  Not all at once, but the various scenes!
:o

Manhunter
One film you wish to forget.

I am glad someone else remembers this classic. All this guy did was try to go home after meeting that Arquette girl and so many bizarre things happened to him. And this movie basically happens within a 24 hour period. Hilarious!

With the exception of being hunted by a lynch mob, I've lived that movie in installments!  I also love Howard Shore's incidental music, which sets such a great atmosphere for the movie.  Scorsese was going through hell trying to get "The Last Temptation of Christ" made when he got the "After Hours" screenplay.  Maybe that's why he's so effective with the persecution of Paul!

Does anybody else remember a movie called "Grandview USA," it's got Jamie Lee Curtis as a butch woman named "Mike" who manages a drag racing track or something!
???

yeah i remember the adventures in baby sitting but for some reason it was retitled night on the town.

but unfortunately as you get older some of the films you remembered you forget which is a great shame.

sorry about that. I hot linked it and yes. it is Neighbors.

I was realising today there are so many movies nowadays that are forgotten in the mainstream media because they've fallen out of favor being played on network television. Most '80s movies that use to play on TBS and TNT are long gone. Now we get a lot of movies that are more recent.

Now that the '80s are nearing the 30th year mark (in 2010) it's starting to become more apparent of what quality films were then and what they are not now. Yes, there was the junk out there, but even that stuff had some original qaulities that kept it somewhat entertaining.

I will always be a sucker for classic films, and now that the '80s are entering into classic era mode, here is a list of some lost movies from the '80s that you hardly see on TV anymore.

1. The Boy Who Could Fly
2. Troop Beverly Hills
3. Big Business
4. Ghost Dad
5. The Great Muppet Caper
6. Prancer
7. One Magic Christmas
8. The Witches (1990 - but very close to '80s)
9. Harry and the Hendersons
10. Cannonball Run
11. The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking
12. The Last Unicorn
13. The Chipmunk Adventure
14. The Secret of Nimh
15. The Wizard
16. Little Monsters
17. Ernest Saves Christmas
18. Batteries Not Included
19. The Care Bears Movies


... if there are more you can think of, please chime in and ad to the list and ad to the memories :0)

Here's a long forgotten one from 1989.  It's called 'Collision Course' and stars Jay Leno and Pat Morita as a couple of cops solving the case of a stolen engine

here's a true classic. i remember this movie had me saying "eh" and "hoser" for like a month. everybody wanted to smack me.

I saw that on HBO once, thought it was pretty funny. Of course, Jay was already filling in for Carson 3 nights a week, so it was kinda doubtful he would be going on to a big movie career. Pat Morita, on the other hand, had just lost Ohara on ABC and The Karate Kid Part III wasn't nearly as good as the first two. All of which made fan-draw nearly impossible the film. There was one scene in the trailer where they don't show Pat's funny reply to Jay's line...

Jay: Just my luck, I get the one guy from Japan who doesn't know Karate!
Pat: Not true, my brother no know Karate either!

A lot of the anti-Japanese sentiment that stayed so prevalent into the 90's was lampooned in this pic, so maybe the critics took it out of context as well. But I always found it funny when Pat looked at the racist cop in interrogation and said,
"READ my RIPS. Detective first class, Tokyo Police."

If you are a Canadian, you had to see that. It's part of our "Pledge of Allegiance"  ;)

the ending...and that prick Rick...that look on face at the end I just want to smack him!

Bump.

About that movie, The Last American Virgin, I actually laughed at the ending. Seriously. And I wasn't surprised by it.

That boy Gary was extremely awkward, needy, and wimpy throughout the movie, and honestly it was painful to watch how he acted in front of Karen. From staring at her while being too afraid to talk, to stalking her to vandalize her bike and give her a ride, to being very nervous while giving her a ride and in so many other scenes, to doing extravagant favors like paying for her abortion, and finally crying when telling her that he loved her near the end, it was beyond obvious that he was too socially weak and unassertive to win her over.

Women like confidence and assertiveness in men, with the appearance of putting as little effort as possible and not giving a ****, and while they appreciate huge favors from desperate men, it won't get those men laid. That, I believe, is the big lesson to be learned in that movie.

The Ice Pirates (1984), starring Robert Urich.

I haven't seen it since I was a kid and would love to see it again, but it is NOT on Netflix.  >:( >:( >:(

this is one I actually forgot about... good job howard!

IMO "forgotten" implies that the movie is rarely rerun on cable today and/or is either unreleased on DVD format or newer and/or is out of print on such a format. Check out the "obscure" thread that I posted a couple years back:

http://www.inthe00s.com/archive/inthe80s/smf/1428415428.shtml

However, the difference is that usually, I see "forgotten" as something that was a mild hit that made some notable media rounds, but rarely to be discussed after their initial runs end.
