That's true, but keep two things in mind.

1) The 1940's and 1950's were extremely important decades for Sci Fi. (i.e. Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still,The Time Machine, War of the Worlds). Of course, there was plenty of cheese to fill in between.

2) Good is always subjective.

"Lost Skeleton" is a personal favorite, rented it, watched it 3 times, bought it, watched it once. Fantastic spoof, IMO, and that's coming from a major spoof connoisseur. It did fantastic in it's super minimal theatrical release, and is already a cult classic.

Amen Solo...Mario Brothers is horrible...horrible...horrible...and so is Mortal Kombat...when a movie bombs for any reason usually, there is a reason...unless it was something underliked...but for those two movies-they was a major reason they bombed.

Funny...for such a cult classic...I haven't heard of anyone talk about it or anyone that's seen it...and I know lots of people who watch a lot of movies...our video store never got it here and neither did our theater...but the trailer did enough for me...but hey, its your personal opinion and this is mine right?

Well, it was only released in 34 theatres nationwide. Buried treasure doesn't find you, you find it, and if I based my opinion soley on trailers, I probably wouldn't have seen 1/2 the 1,000,000 movies that I have. I'm a huge Sci Fi fan,and this movie is only going to appeal to fans of spoofs, indies, and cheesy Sci Fi.

"Mortal Kombat" made $122 Million dollars worldwide, brother, not to mention it's a cult classic, and easily the most popular video game movie to date.

Anyone see this movie , it is really good, very funny. It is a smallindependent film, starring vince vaughn, joaquin phoenix and janine garofeloe. dark comedy. Will appeal to fans of the coen bros and woody allen i think.

If you get the chance you should Check it out!

If you know of any good films that are not on the mainstream raider, post them here ?

I saw Clay Pigeons 😱

with Joaquin Phoenix (sp?) and Vince Vaughn and Jeane Gerhsadfks(sp?)

i liked it a lot .. it was interesting 🙂

Clay Pigeons is a really good movie, I own it! Joaquin did a really good job in this film and Vince Vaughn was hysterical. "Shoo, Clay'd you cut one?"
