    Was "Adventures in Babysitting" obscure?

    No clue, but I wore out a vhs copy of it.

    Critters (all of them)
    Munchies (10 points if you have seen this crappy movie)
    My Demon Lover
    North Shore ("Nobody ever listens to Turtle")
    Teen Wolf 1 & 2
    Gleaming the Cube
    Youngblood

    There is one other movie that I can't think of the name. Was like a 80's version of Bedazzled (brendan frazier, eliz. hurley). There was some devil or demon chick who granted a nerd his wish and he wanted to be a stud. The characters name was Bradley Brakeman. Later on in the the movie, he didn't like the new him and wanted to revert back and the hot demon chick reverted back to her normal self and they got together.

    Zapped Again?!?

    The only reason Zapped was cool as a pre-pubescent teen was we were able to see Heather Thomas topless.


    For shame with you and the 2.

    Forgot to add "18 Again," which Charlie Schlatter parlayed into that dead-on-arrival "Ferris Bueller" sitcom. And, of course, "Summer School" and "Revenge of the Nerds II;" which cultivated a pre-"Melrose" fixation with Courtney Thourne-Smith.

    please tell me you are joking.

    Do you not remember the Mistress of skanky clothing and big boobs that hosted Up All Night?

    Rhonda Shear.


    Babe Edit: I know who Heather Thomas is, and for bonus I give you a pic from that movie

    excellent choices, especially Best Defense with Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy.
    Tron is a classic among my peer group, so I dont consider it obscure by any measure. That woul dbe like calling Blade Runner obscure. :p

    two more spurred on by your choices.

    Modern Problems
    Deal of the Century (has an absolutely awesome performance by Gregory Hines...Nice flamejob, let me touch it up!)
