Submitted by Garrett K

Remember when our movies had commercials before they ever started? I can’t believe no one put up the Pizza hut commercial that you watched before “The land before time.” Ahh, the good ol’ days..

Maximum Overdrive


Submitted by Kelly N

From Wikipedia:

Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 horror film, written and directed by horror novelist Stephen King. The screenplay was inspired by and loosely based on King’s short story, Trucks, which was included in King’s first collection of short stories, Night Shift.

Maximum Overdrive is Stephen King’s first and only directorial effort, though dozens of films have been based on King’s novels. The film contained black humor elements and a generally camp tone, which contrasts with King’s sombre subject matter in books, but with not the folksy, oft corny elements that underlie some of his character development. The neophyte director was nominated for the title of “Worst Director” by the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1987. King himself described the film as a “moron movie” and stated his intention to never direct again soon after.

Easy Rider


Submitted by Kris K

From Wikipedia:

Easy Rider is a 1969 American road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper. It tells the story of two bikers (played by Fonda and Hopper) who travel through the American Southwest and South with the aim of achieving freedom. The success of Easy Rider helped spark the New Hollywood phase of filmmaking during the late sixties. The film was added to the Library of Congress National Registry in 1998.

A landmark counterculture film,[2] and a “touchstone for a generation” that “captured the national imagination”,[3] Easy Rider explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions in the United States during the 1960s, such as the rise and fall of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle. Easy Rider is legendary for its use of real drugs in its portrayal of marijuana and other substances.

The Tom Green Show


Submitted by Carlos Mendoza El Rillllllar

From Wikipedia:

The Tom Green Show is a North American television show which first aired in September 1994[1] on Rogers Television 22, a community channel in Ottawa, Ontario until 1996, and was later picked up by The Comedy Network in 1997. (In 1996, Green also produced a pilot episode for CBC Television, although the CBC did not pick up the series.)

In January 1999, the show moved to the United States and aired on MTV.[2] The MTV show stopped production when Green was diagnosed with testicular cancer in March 2000, and he stopped production on his TV show, but continued to appear on the channel via reruns and other promotional materials.

Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions


Submitted by John E

I totally agree with the ‘Marvin the Martian’ submission. He’s one of the best Looney Tune characters of all time. My submission is closely related. It’s one of the very few good cartoon based video games. It’s Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions. This is one rather tough side-scroller starring you as Daffy Duck playing Duck Dodgers. It captures the look and charm of the old Chuck Jones ‘Marvin’ cartoons really well while managing to be an engaging and challenging platformer game at the same time. Some of the platform moves you have to make are a bit frustrating at times, but the desire to see what else they gleaned from the all-too-seldom seen Marvin cartoons keeps you going. Some levels are downright funny. My only wish with this game is that you could choose to play either Duck Dodgers or Marvin instead of only Duck Dodgers. Otherwise, it’s a perfect Super Nintendo game.

A River Runs Through It


Submitted by Paula D

From Wikipedia:

A River Runs Through It is an Academy Award winning 1992 American film directed by Robert Redford and starring Brad Pitt, Craig Sheffer, Tom Skerritt, Brenda Blethyn, and Emily Lloyd. It is a period drama based on the semi-autobiographical novella A River Runs Through It (1976) written by Norman Maclean (1902-90).
Set in and around the city of Missoula in western Montana, the story follows two sons of a Presbyterian minister—one studious and the other rebellious—as they grow up and come of age in a time that roughly spans the Prohibition era (1919-33) in the United States: from World War I (1917-18) to the early days of the Great Depression (1929-41).

Son in Law


Submitted by Burday B

From Wikipedia:

In rural South Dakota, Rebecca “Becca” Warner (Gugino) graduates as her high school valedictorian. Becca decides to attend UCLA, which slightly worries her parents Walter (Smith) and Connie (Pickett). Her steady boyfriend Travis is also sad to see her going to school so far away, and secretly starts to see a mutual friend, Tracy. Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Becca experiences some culture shock both in the city and in her dorm. She meets her resident advisor Crawl (Shore), an eccentric perpetual student who shows her around. Her roommate is a lesbian and has a girlfriend and sees them affectionately kissing each other. She eventually embraces her new surroundings and gives herself a makeover, buying new clothes in SoCal fashion, cuts and dyes her hair, and even gets a tattoo. Soon, however, she’s faced with returning to her sleepy South Dakota farm and an inevitable marriage proposal from Travis over Thanksgiving Break. These mixed feelings lead to her spontaneously asking Crawl to come home with her.
