There are a few obscure movies (mostly foreign) for which I am on a constant quest.

Anyone have any that they have been trying to find?

#1 on my wish list: "Karate"- 1983 Bollywood Kung-fu flick.
#2 would have to be "Werewolf in a Women's Prison"- No explanation needed
I reject your reality and replace it with one of my own

Captain Tars Tarkas

My top ten list changes CONSTANTLY!

Currently:

1. James Batman
2. Black Rose
3. Ajooba Kudrat Ka  - http://ilovetheyeti.blogspot.com/2008/02/ajooba-kudrat-ka.html
4. Night Falcon - http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=35560

6. The Adventures of El Frenetico and Go Girl

This seems to be available used from Amazon: I bet you could find it on E-Bay too.  Though it's a bit pricey.

I rented this a long time ago and found it inventive and funny.  Not something I'd devote a lifetime to tracking down, but worth seeing if you get the chance.

Question me an answer!
Answer with a question!


Anything with the late, great Bobby Van gets my vote, too!  :teddyr:

You can't buy the DVD, it true, but you can get the original sountrack CD and relive all the sparkling Burt Bacharach/Hal David tunes!

HEY! I'M ALIVE! (1975)

A surly, Bible-thumping pilot (Ed Asner) and a perky young lady (Sally Struthers) get lost in the bitter Alaskan wilderness. Sally gets to say things like "Life is so fun and people are so interesting!". Based on a true story.

For a college compostition class a friend and I wrote the outline and a few songs for a musical version of this.  :teddyr:
