And let us not forget Howard the Duck.
Reminds me of watching Revenge of the Nerds with my wife and new inlaws...the nerds had a camera in the girls locker room, and one of the nerds says "I wanna see some m_ff!"...while I'm sitting next to my MIL, the church lector, president of the school board, eucharistic minister, Miss Manners, etc.

I'm not much of a movie / TV watcher, but a few stand out...
Christmas Vacation -- dumb, meaningless, but tons of fun! A family tradition here, every year during Thanksgiving weekend all the kids and grandkids gather to watch it. VHS is wearing out, I need to get a DVD version.
Big Man on Campus -- Early 1990's, a satire based on the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Never took off, not well known -- but an absolute hoot, the basic story and one liners are hilarious. We have a poor quality VHS we made from the TV, wish I could find a good copy. I think it was released in limited quantity, totally unavailable today.
Pure Country -- Not a classic, but great message, sometimes we get so caught up in what we are doing we forget why we do it. Inspires me to slow down and regroup.
Return of the Titans / Coach Carter -- same basic themes, both very well done and enjoyable.
Tombstone / Wyatt Earp (Kevin Costner version) -- Tombstone is very much a hollywood version, but fun to watch, Wyatt Earp w/ Kevin Costner is a little more historically correct.
The Replacements -- Fun to watch and entertaining
This is what comes to mind, as I said I'm not a serious movie / TV watcher.

Just did a search on both Netflix and BlockBuster, neither one carries it. Originally Posted by Tony Falotico

Edit: What I have found, if there are any DVD's of this show out there, they are recorded from a personal VHS. This movie does not exist on its own. Sorry Tony, I tried.Last edited by Doug Jones; 12-09-2006 at 02:18 PM.

Pretty good, but I thought the sequels/spin-offs ("Dogma" and "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back") were way better. Originally Posted by Stuart Ablett

(Definitely not for the kids though.

Where are we going? And what am I doing in this handbasket?

Not sure I'm remembering that one, but if it's the one I think it is, you might want to try "Encino Man"...couple of familiar faces when they were young and unknown. Originally Posted by Tony Falotico

Thanks John, there are several VHS copies available -- it was never released on DVD. There are some bootleg DVD's available from overseas, but I'm kinda uncomfortable going that route. I'll pick up a VHS from e-bay and convert it for my own use -- I think that's legal, but more importantly I feel it's ethical because it's for my own use and not for profit.
