[QUOTE="CarlZog, post: 1328266, member: 11716"] Well, for pure cheesey fun you have to see [b]Damnation Alley[/b], the '70s post-apocalypse adventure, featuring the coolest SUV ever! [b]Omega Man[/b] was a favorite when I was a kid, but I haven't seen it in years and wonder how it would hold up now. Those of you mentioning My Girl Friday and Bringing up Baby, owe it to yourselves to find the original [b]Topper[/b] and, of course, [b]Philadelphia Story[/b] (though that's really pushing the "obscurity" criteria for this thread!). Another great old Grant movie, [b]Only Angels Have Wings,[/b] is a romance/adventure about ex-pat, bush pilots in South America. As for Kate Hepburn, [b]The Lion in Winter[/b] is required viewing, but perhaps too well known for this thread. The realm of old movie serials is so rife with forgotten classics it's hard to know where to start. Anybody with even a passing interest in the origins of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, et al. should visit [b]serialsquadron.com[/b] and check out some the cool stuff available there. [b]Time Bandits[/b] was mentioned -- certainly an all-time favorite. Michael York's[b] The Three Musketeers [/b](1973)with Raquel Welch is a ton of fun! [b]She[/b] (1935) is way cool and, I think, available on DVD now! An immortal queen rules a forgotten civilization in the Siberian mountains. [b]Genesis II[/b], [b]The Questor Tapes[/b], and [b]Planet Earth[/b] are all Gene Roddenberry's failed, post-Star Trek TV pilots from the early '70s. You can find them on VHS on ebay now, and their storylines eventually morphed into the show, Earth:Final Conflict. There's a lot of familiar faces and concepts that make them fun to watch even now.
