Forgotton films

RCMerchant · August 29, 2009, 08:51:28 AM

I been thinking about some old movies I saw in my youth...but never again. I never see them mentioned in reference books either, They just seem to be...forgottn.

I recall an ABC Movie of the Week film with Ray Milland that creeped me out as a kid...1969...
DAUGHTER OF THE MIND

'
Another...YOULL LIKE MY MOTHER had John Boy Walton as a sicko psycho!

Others I can't find clips for...

TWO ON A GUILLITINE (1965) with Ceaser (the Joker) Romero.
I saw this on Chiller Theater back in about 1969.

the GRISSOM GANG
Saw Loooong ago...one of the gang members was a psychotic retard. Good movie.

the BEAST of MORROCO (aka the HAND OF NIGHT)
An oddball psuedeo vampire film I saw on CREATURE FEATURE in the early 70's.

What films do you recall..but everyone else seems to have forgotton?

A group of Las Vegas showgirls turns into a crack anti-terrorist squad and take a lot of hot tub breaks. How is this not in IMDB's top 250?

THE DOBERMAN GANG (1972)!

A gang of clever Dobies with names like 'Clyde', Bonnie', Dillinger', etc. are trained by a group of misfits (including a hippie and a Vietnam vet, of course) to rob banks. Great theme song has lyrics like "They are known as man's best friiiiend - n' public enemy number one.. Arf arf. Arf. Arf."

Hardly anybody seems to remember this one, or its two sequels THOSE DARING DOBERMANS and the kiddie movie THOSE AMAZING DOBERMANS. I saw all three at the theater.

Yeh, DAUGHTER OF THE MIND... Yeh, YOU'LL LIKE MY MOTHER... BELA, you missed those on your late night TV wanderings,

instead of hawking over GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE over on Chiller Theatre, you shoulda turned on that CBS LATE MOVIE ever'one so fond of and long ago looked at PATTY DUKE dukin' it out with "Mother"...

Okay, kinda forgettable, OH! I mean, "forgotten"

I love this movie: THE NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S ...

I have The PHANTOM CREEPS on dvd!

And if I recall-the UNDERSEA KINGDOM was one of Lon Chaney Jr.s first films! He played a henchman of the sea people.

I'd post something on this thread, but I've forgotten all the forgotten films that I forgot.

That made my brain hurt.....

One I seen on a double feature at the local Strand in 1974 or 5 with PSYCHIC KILLER...
HOMEBODIES-

I actually just download The Phantom Creeps from Archive.org. I really like it.

Also, Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman seems to be pretty underrated. I just picked it up on DVD with a few other movies.

Dick Tracy (1990)

I'm very suprised that not many people know about it, despite it being probably the best comic book to film adaptions ever made. It got everything right about it capturing the look, feel, story telling, and scenery of the comic series and comic books in general, but no one really seems to talk about it at all.

Animal Farm (1954)

I'm not surprised this film has been forgotten over the years, but it really is sad that no one seems to know about it. I blame the live acted verison from the 90s that distracts people from this verison. It maybe because it is animated or most of the film is completely narratored, but no one speaks of it. It probably is one of the best book to movie adaptions out there, though the ending was changed compared to the book.

The Thing from Another World (1951)

I'll admit it, I never even heard about this movie until last year. I always assumed that The Thing was just a stand alone movie and not a remake. Maybe that's why it is sort of forgotten by people, because they don't realize that there was an original (that's my excuse and theory)

Twice Upon A Time (1983)

Really, does anyone (Outside of Derf, WingedSeperent, and myself on this site) even remember that this movie exists?
