    The Ninth Configuration jumped to my mind. I've always loved that movie. I'm not sure if it's forgotten or just undiscovered.

        The Philadelphia Experiment
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            Hero At Large with John Ritter. A staple of Saturday afternoon TV matinees...but now largely forgotten.

              Yep and it even had a sequel (which makes the first one look like high Drama)

              I'll second a vote for Yor hunter from the Future - gotta love Reb Brown

              Some of my favorites are cult classics like:
              Remo Williams The Adventure Begins
              Bucakroo Banzai Adventures across the 8th Dimension - Peter Weller before Robocop
              Trancers
              Highlander (the first one)
              Re-animator
              Evil Dead (earlier somone brought up Army of Darkness but that is actually in the early 90's)
              Hell comes to Frogtown - gotta love some Roddy Piper and Post apocalyptic desert

              2 More great Fred Ward (Remo Williams) 80's films are
              Timerider the Adventure of Lyle Swann - Which also has Peter Coyote in it
              and Cast a Deadly Spell - Which also has Cleancy Brown in it

                  I got the Ice Pirates at Big Lots a few month back for $3. I remember really liking it as a kid but I had to turn it off as an adult. It's really bad. Eddie and The Cruisers is kind of hard to forget cause the Beaver Brown song always pops up every now and again. It did make me think of a few more though...Streets of Fire, First Born (with Robo Cop) Baby (the dinosaur movie) and the mention of Hero At Large reminded me of The Return of Captain Invincible which I'd love to see again but it's never been released on DVD.

                    There used to be a store here that had tons of old VHS, I rented Ice Pirates (first time I'd ever seen it) Return of Captain Invincible (that was tough to sit through) and a slew of other junk. I'm sorry they closed up, I managed to scoop some clam shell delights before they did.

                      Return of Captain Invincible? This is a sequel to "Hero at Large"? Is Ritter in it? I must see this.

                        No it's not a sequel. The title just reminded me of it. I saw Captain Invincible once when I was 10. I'd like to go back and revisit it if I ever found it. If it's anywhere near the quality of Ice Pirates, I'm sure it'll be a rough watch. If I remember correctly it was a 1950's type movie made in the 80's when everyone had a jonesing for 50's nostalgia so theres that. Also a few that came out a little later in like '90 or so that I thought of that are probably really awful to watch today...Second Sight with Cousin Balki, Mad House (Kirsti Alley) and Spaced Invaders.

                              I don't Fletch has been forgotten. I still see it on TV from time to time. Not as much as the first Vacation movie, which is apparently now Chevy Chase's film legacy (other than Christmas Vacation).

                                Speaking of Chevy Chase, how many remember The Three Amigos?
