Another one for me (and I own it) is Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. It's disappointing the later BtAS movie(s) didn't live up to the first. (I know there was one with Mr. Freeze. I swear there was another one, but I can't think of it. [Not Return of the Joker because that was Batman Beyond and pretty good.])
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Also, wasn't there a very short-lived sword and sorcery TV series (it may have even been the title) in the 80's? I seem to recall watching it with my parents. I only have vague recollections. Something about the heroes fighting an invisible dragon (and needing to stab it between the eyes to kill it) and some acrobat chick flubbing a tightrope walk and falling into a "bottomless pit".
Did it have Jeff Conaway, Julia Duffy, and Clive Revill? You're probably talking about Wizards and Warriors.

I don't remember any of the actors (I was 6 when it aired, apparently) but that sounds like it. Thanks.

If I only had a brain...
I loved Wizards and Warriors soooooooo much.
None of the reviewers seemed to grasp that it was a parody.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Ooo, The Freshman. Lovely movie.
"Here she is, your komodo dragon!" has proven a far more useful phrase than I ever dreamed possible.

I can't even.

Oh my god, I had forgotten completely about that. And now it is taking up active memory storage, curses!

Hmm. It sounds like "Dungeon of Death" was the episode I have vague recollections of. (Though it could have been "The Rescue". Synopses are rather vague.)

Hey. New board.
Bad movie enthralled with: Zardoz. Also, Chance. Though that's mostly just for the combined AB/JM love.
Good movies I must watch if they are on: Star Wars, The Thin Man, Citizen Kane, Groundhog Day, ANY of the Brat Pack movies, ANY of the Back To The Future movies.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Zardoz.
OMG Zardoz. The best part of owning this is the commentary track -- basically just John Boorman going "Yeah...I don't really remember what this scene was supposed to be about...sorry..." for two and a half hours. It's AWESOME.
