Supposedly it's ranked as one of the worst movies ever.

It has Richard Kiel in it. I thought it's something that maybe you enjoy in a campy sort of way.

Haha, no I've never seen it. I'm aware of it only because I'm a fan of Richard Kiel. But I found it on tubi, so I'll check it out....Wish me luck!

Awesome, let me know what you think. I somehow started googling Richard Kiel today and accidentally found this movie.

I can't believe I discovered a movie that you haven't seen.

I'll absolutely let you know...

And there's plenty of movies I've never seen particularly from the last 10-15 years....My sig says it all.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jreacher again.

MrP, looks like it's also on YouTube

I don't think I'm brave enough to try watching it.

I'm 42 minutes in and it okay so far. I'll write more when I'm finished.

I found this movie to be interesting in that it seems the writer/director Arch Hall Sr. was trying to capitalize on the success of Elvis movies by making a series films with sporadic musical numbers starring his son.

The movie certainly has its problems and it does drag a lot in the middle and if the movie was expedited and brought down to a 70 minute runtime, you'd have a much better film. But even as it is I don't quite see the criticism it receives as one of the worst movies ever, as I've seen much worse.

Awesome, thanks for the update.

I take it that that you won't put this on a rewatch list?

Shivers can you recommend some good movies that are a must see pre-2000's. Something in mystery, drama, sci-fi, and documentary ..that are lesser known?

I feel like you or someone had a thread similar with good older recommendations, but can't find it. It doesn't have to limited to Netflix, Tubi, etc. Just some must-see's.

TYIA

I've seen it but it's been years. I remember thinking, "this is just horrible" LOL...

Maybe I should watch it again.

No, lol, but a one of the Arch Hall movies is on Tubi... This time he stars as a rock n roll spy that I might check out at some point.

Fuark, mirin a callout thread that is resolved in 6 minutes flat.

I'm eating, I'll respond to this in a little bit.

thank you my good man

I have an old movie thread that I posted mainly free movies on youtube, but most have been removed from youtube.

Here is my Italian Exploitation thread though I doubt many would be interested in it as they are a very specific niche:

I'd have to start by mentioning that its hard to determine what "lesser known" means to anyone these days, so I'll suggest movies from beginning in 30's- 40's that may not be lesser known to someone like Kimm4, but may be to others who aren't as familiar with movies of that era.


I'll stay away from some of the more schlocky movies I love and stay with the more mainstream stuff, but if this isn't obscure enough I can go a little deeper upon request.
--------------


The Thin Man (1934)...this movie spawned a number of sequels some better than others. If you watch and like this one you may wish to continue.

The Maltese Falcon (1941) This is an example of a movie thats not lesser known but not everyone these days has seen it and they ought to.

Double Indemnity (1944) Another film noir staple that should be seen by fans of the genre. It stars Barbara Stanwyck one of my favorite actors ever and almost anything she's in is worth watching.

Rope (1948) A bit lesser know for a Hitchcock movie about a couple of gay guys that try to commit the perfect murder.

The Third Man (1949) A must see with a score that makes the movie feel strangely modern.

Sunset Blvd (1950) One of my favorite movies ever...A Hollywood set film noir. I love it.

The Fly (1958) A great early sci-fi with Vincent Price about a science experiment gone wrong.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) A classic of the sci-fi genre. I also recommend the 1978 remake equally.

Murder by Decree (1979) This is a Sherlock Holmes movie starring Christopher Plumber where Holmes goes after Jack the Ripper.

Body Double (1984) Brain De Palma's take on Rear Window, see Rear Window as well if you haven't.

Manhunter (1986) The first adaption of the Red Dragon novel with Brain Cox as Lecter. Some like his portrayal as much or more than Hopkins.

Dark City (1998) This is a pretty great sci-fi mystery

Breakdown (1997) A great somewhat lesser known Kurt Russell film.

Joint Security Area (2000) A great Korean film.

Memories of Murder (2003) another great Korean murder mystery.

Hands on a Hardbody (1997) is a documentary about a redneck competition to win a car.

Great list. Some I've seen, some I've heard of, and others never heard of. I'll start from the top with Thin Man. Appreciate the post.

Cool...

btw, The Thin Man is a product of its time so it will seem dated. Its every bit a screwball comedy as much as a mystery, so its not ominous in tone. If ominous is what you want from an early film you could also check out M (1931)

[QUOTE=Tears post_id=1696803613][youtube]pYW2ZUsoofA[/youtub][/QUOTE]Troma's most famous movie I'd say.

Oh such a great list! That should keep him busy for a while.

Few more that come to mind...

Shadow of a Doubt 1943 Another lesser known Hitchcock movie with Theresa Wright and Joseph Cotten

The Stranger 1946 Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young and Orson Welles

Dead Ringer 1964 with Bette Davis

Still need to see Dead Ringer.

Negged. Srs you try way too hard.

Dark City great movie!


SHUT IT DOWN!

Yeah its a crazy one.

If you're a Bette Davis fan you'll enjoy it. I'm a fan of film noir.

Laura 1944 is another one that comes to mind, Detour 1945, Out of the Past 1947, Lady in the Lake 1947 and The Big Heat 1953

There's just way too many to list...

Bette Davis was an actual person? Always thought it was just a song

Spoiler!

I'm fan of hers, just a matter of finding it for free. One of these days I'll build a bluray collection when I get enough disposable income, then I can get all the movies I want in top quality.

Yes she wasSounds like a the perfect plan.

Getting ready to watch, Klute 1971 in a few. I love this movie.

Nice, actually just saw that movie a couple weeks ago.

Nice! Another Bette Davis that I just thought of, The Nanny 1965 if you haven't seen it.

I'm off.
