          One of the best movie endings ever.

          Or, the Gypsy Moths. Filmed in Kansas about barnstorming parachutists. Debra Kerr and Burt Lancaster rekindle the sparks from Here to Eternity, but instead of the beach, the sparks fly on a couch, in the buff..
          Just found this thread.... Gypsy Moths filmed a scene at a fleabag motel at the corner of S. Broadway and Patterson. I grew up 2 blocks away on Patterson and was around 9 or 10 when that was filmed. I still remember my brother and I riding our stingray bikes down the block to see the hubbub. Burt Lancaster was sitting in an old aluminum frame lawn chair with plastic webbing, smoking a cigarette. He was very friendly and didn't seem to mind us hanging around at all. There used to always be half full/empty wine and beer bottles in the parking lot of that motel on Sunday mornings. I don't think too many tourists stayed there.
          One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.

            True Stories from David Byrne of Talking Heads fame is one of my most favorite obscure movies. Very quirky, with a quirky cast that includes John *******, Spaulding Gray and Swoozie Kurtz. People I've loaned/shown it to either loved it or thought I was crazy. I use it as a litmus test to see if we'll be friends. Not really, but it does show the ones that are bent like me.

                  Is The Devils Rejects an obscure movie?

                      The Villain (1979)

                      Kirk Douglas (as Cactus Jack), Arnold Schwarzenegger (as Handsome Stranger), Ann-Margaret (as Charming Jones), Paul Linde, Foster Brooks, Ruth Buzzi, Jack Elam, Mel Tillis - and more.

                      Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


                      Kirk Douglas more or less plays Wiley Coyote. Schwarzenegger plays the innocent guy hired to escort Ann Margaret across Indian country. Paul Linde is the Indian Chief, Nervous Elk. Schwarzenegger can never figure out that Ann-Margaret is coming on to him. Kirk Douglas is trying to rob them, but like Wiley Coyote, all his traps and pitfalls backfire on him.

                            Oh yeah!!! Sharknado, baby!!!

                            Can somebody DVR it, do some magic with it and get it on Popcorn Time? Please? I'll be shooting prairie dogs and my wife won't DVR this type of documentary film.
                            There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
