(sad too cause I have the movie) That was a funny movie. And lets not forget Black Sheep, it was funny but not as funny as Tommy BOy As Far as TV Shows, what about SCTV? If you ask me I felt it was underrated in the US. They did run reruns of the show back in 2000, but that was short lived. (maybe cause NBC played it so late at nite.) I dont know if anyone would agree with me, but that is how I feel

How can people not know of MST3K, or at least "that show with the shillouttes making fun of bad movies" (as my mom always refered to it as).

Some people already said them, but Upright Citizens Brigade and Andy Richter Controls the Universe. In addition, Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, and the Tick (animated AND live-action). I know I'm forgetting a ton.

Seriously, I don't know if it has something to do with where I live, but in my reality no one knows it ever happened except for me and my best friend. Another show that wasn't really acknowledged was 'Invader Zim'. It has a HUGE fanbase, but was too disturbing for the network it was on. And 'Kids in the Hall'. I don't think it was the best show, but it was alot better than alot of stuff in the same genre and it doesn't get a whole lot of recognition.

Clone High, Invader Zim... oh and Captain Starr. Did anyone else watch Captain Star? It was about a starship captain, his first officer, the ships doctor and the coal stoker who were on a planet perpetually waiting for orders. He'd sit in a wagon and think. It was a good show, crudely animated though.  Found a picture. Star is the one in the green uniform, the guy with the heads is the coal shoveller, the woman is the doctor and the tie-guy is the first officer. It was great for it's Python-esque silly ways. For example, their ships name was "The Boiling Hell". On one episode, these aliens kidnap Star and enter him in Captain Star Look-Alike contest (because he's a hero, which is why his no-orders is so funny) and he loses.

Damn bitter english teacher. *slays SJM* If you walked away from that movie thinking "man, that dude was crazy," you really need to watch it again. I'm not exactly sure if that suggestion applies to you or not, but I do know most of my friends liked it a lot better the second time, when they could see how the whole story fit together.

Fucking US TV networks. Hmm, Fawlty Towers only had 2 seasons and it made it to DVD, I wonder... yeah it was pretty good, i think its on hiatus but more than likly axed.

The Job actually was axed, that's why I said so! Anyway, it's still cool and I'd like to see it on DVD. There is another The Job on DVD but that's a film about a sexy hitwoman starring Daryl Hannah. Hmmmm....

Originally posted by Britz: One, there are people who haven't heard of the Prophecy movie series? Curious, thought that was pretty general knowledge.
Two, you do see the irony in the fact you can't name said three movies right?
There are A LOT of movies I know which I think go unappreciated by the current generation, cult films mostly, Full Metal Jacket isn't well known enough definitely. Blade Runner, popular in its own right, but, I dunno, seems like too exclusive a cult, not many people get it.
I seem to love cult films for some reason, and there are a lot of movies out there with something to say that just aren't mainstream, pity, but give cult films a chance at some point people.
Also 'Houseguest' Heheh, wacky Sinbad. I'll go along with that, cult movies tend to be the best when it comes to a movie experience. 12 monkeys rocked, even if you only watch it for Brad pitts billiant portrayal of a nutter! There is to many underated shows and films out there it makes alot harder to pick any without jotting a massive list down. Cheeh and Chongs Up in smoke and next movie spring to mind. Let the blood run free; funny stupid show that was on in the early 90's on C4 (uk) Shit, anything on late at night pretty much qualifies, what about Renegade, the mullet bloke on his chopper bike? always made me chuckle

Anyone ever watch Sausage Factory? It originally aired in Canada in 2000/2001 but I think it went to the US as Now What on MTV (?) It only had 13 episodes but I thought they were ok, about a bunch of students in high school. Info here.

TV shows:
"Space Precinct" Good futuristic police-show. Light-hearted and didn't take itself too seriously. I liked it, and they axed it after 2 seasons.
"Hill Street Blues" Screw NYPD Blue and Miami Vice, this was THE police-drama. I love this show. Too bad tv stations are more interested in showing fat cops screaming profanities.
"Soap" I like it, so sue me. Best crazy-anarchic comedy ever.

Originally posted by Allen: Move title unknown: I remember a live action/animation movie starring Snoopy's brother Spike. However my attempts to find the name of this movie have proved fruitless. I know it exists. I am not crazy! The title is "It's the girl in the red pickup truck, Charlie Brown".
