Has anyone seen "Spaced Invaders" Probably the best alein invader movie of the last 30 years. (if comedy counts  )
"Oh No! The Insidious Earth weapon took Captian Bipto to his dooommm"  | I do not remember seeing "Spaced Invaders" I did enjoy watching Johnny Depp playing Hunter Thompson in "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" very funny. Bill Murray's take on Thomson has got to be hilarious.

| | | Re: Obscure but great movies! Manhunter 1986, the pre'sequel to “Silence of the lambs” and almost as good. Remade, and rescripted later into the remake movie “Red Dragon” titled after the original book by Thomas Harris . http://www.manhunter.net/scenes/gfx/...ds_fire_04.jpg

The story is pretty simple. Emperor Wang of the Planet Porno has unleashed a sex ray on Earth that needs to be stopped. Flesh Gordon and his crew have to stop it.
This film (BTW, the extended DVD version) has some pretty good stopmotion effects, which represent the beasts that Flesh and company have to battle. One of them, the final monster, was actually voiced by Craig T. Nelson. | IMDb Video: Flesh Gordon flesh gordon - Google Video
Freaking hilarious 7 min clip. "Monster hangout"

| | | Re: Obscure but great movies! The Ninth Configuration
A Great Metaphysical Tragicomedy Quote: |
It's rare to find five films that offer as much combined intelligence, passion, visceral excitement, and uncontrolled belly laughs as this. "The Ninth Configuration" is the sort of film people either love or hate. Like many great works of art, it doesn't settle into any middle ground. It's my all-time favorite movie, not perfect but a real screen miracle all the same. This is the sort of movie they don't make any more, because they never really made anything like this. Just this one time. For that, and much else, it is unique.
