Forgotton films

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.

I totally remember that.  It was great.  I mean, it won Oscars for music, art direction, and makeup.

I don't think it really deserves to be in the Bad Movies Category.

True, but I just listed off movies that are forgotten regardless of how good or bad they are.

Now, if we talking bad films that aren't remember, I got a ton.  There's all the sequels to the Stepford Housewives film, Octopus franchise, Monster A Go-Go!, The Bat (1959), Grizzly, Frogs, Tentacles, Nothing But Trouble, Troll 3, Troll in Central Park, Captain America... I could go on but why bring up bad memories?

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)

THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD is hardly forgotten...

Twice-Told Tales.  We had a friend of the family who actually had the book.  Never did read it.

He Knows You're Alone, featuring the film debut of Tom Hanks.

I don't know if this one counts, but it seems everyone has forced it into the realm of the forgotten.

I have all of these on DVD. I enjoy each and everyone except Don't Go Near The Park. That's a hard one to sit through.

hehe... thats a lost film... its assumed to be destroyed back in 1967 but Im guessing nobody has seen it since the 1930's... :)

Actually most of the people that has been born after 1980 dont really watch anything that's black and white or older then 1960... :)

(Although I find it hard to believe that The Thing from Another World is forgotten)

Pretty much everyone I know in my area knows nothing about it and when I see some posts about good sci-fi films around, no one seems to bring it up.  That's why I thought it might be forgotten or not remember well, which is a shame.

I understand, given certain groups of people, that this film may be seen as forgotten, but it is anything but.  It is considered a classic, even by people outside the horror/sci-fi fan base.  And even slackers have seen it, in part, because it is featured in "Halloween" as one of the movies being watched by the kids Jamie Lee Curtis is babysitting.  Far from forgotten.  Go forth and educate the mindless masses!!!!

I am, but it is really hard!  I started with my family, but my mom refuses to watch anything black & white (ignorance!!) and when my dad saw it, he didn't think much of it.  I tried to show one my friends (A big movie fan who is planning to be a film critic in the future) who is a fan of sci-fi flicks, but when he saw it and reported back, he said he didn't really like it!  It is so hard trying to educate people, especially the people who you think would actually take the time to listen to you.

hehe speaking about ZEPPELIN... my wife and I seen The Big Bus a few weeks ago and it mentions (without naming such disaster films... Earthquake, Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno and Zeppelin) [I told my wife I'd seen them all and she asked me is there really a disaster film with a blimp? ]



The Big Bus (1976)



anyway, I think The Big Bus is grossly forgotton. The movie predates Airplane! by 4 years and it actually follows the same playbook. You would think that David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker has rewritten/plagiarize the Big Bus story and took full credit for Airplane!
