I remember Watership Down. I still cannot listen to "Bright Eyes" without getting all teary-eyed. I saw "mazes and Monsters too. I didn't know Tom Hanks played the main character. It struck me as a hatchet job on D&D and as it turns out the author is or at least was an anti-D&D crusader. Here are another couple:

[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082096/"]Das Boot[/url] It's 1942. You are in a German U-Boat. You are being hunted. Rated [b]R[/b] for Language and Violence. German with English subtitles.

[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050976/"]The Seventh Seal[/url] It is the mid 1300s and the Black Death is sweeping across Europe. A knight returns home to Sweden afte rthe Crusades and plays chess with Death. Many other things happen as well. One of the finest movies ever made. The Existentialism, however, is about as subtle as a bull elephant in heat. Swedish with English subtitles.

The saddest part about that Steven movie is that the kid died a few years later in a motorcycle accident.

Magic is a scary movie. The scariest scene is where he is behind the curtain so you only see the doll, and when it moves in the background, you think it has come to life or something.

Pure classic. Does not belong in this thread as an obscure movie though.

We watched Das Boot in German class in high school (wow, my highschool sounds like a movie theatre! lol) and all I remember of it is a guy who is all sweaty while red lights are flashing. lol

Another couple movies then:

[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090570/"]84 Charing Cross Road[/url], an american writer and a british bookseller correspond and become friends. Stars ann bancroft and Anthoy Hopkins. Based on a true story and follows the novel of the same name very closely.

[url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067144/"]The Go Between[/url] Follows the novel fairly closely. Set in England around 1900. a 13 year old boy becomes go-between for an aristocratic lady and a peasant farmer neighbor.

The Peanut Butter Solution.

Most of us who remember this bizarre movie are told we are liars and that it never actually existed. For some reason it is impossible to find now and disappeared as fast as it appeared. Maybe because they realize that the film makers were probably high when they conjured it up. Still, it would be amesome to get this on DVD so we could relive the good ol days.
