Through a random series of thought I was reminded of a movie I used to love as a kid called Heavyweights about a group of... Well .. heavy kids at a fat camp. Had Ben Stiller in it doing a beta test of his future Dodgeball character.
Made me think of other movies as a kid nobody talks about anymore but once we're popular, like Bend it like Beckham.
Anyone want to share movies they remember but nobody has ever seen/never talks about?

Quantum leap... |
|
Dec 5, 2024 03:36 Blank check, I rarely meet someone who remembers that movie |
|
Dec 5, 2024 06:28 It’s not super obscure but I feel like no one talks about The Land Before Time anymore, or that amazing Pizza Hut ad that was right before it on the old VHS tape back in the day. |
|
Dec 5, 2024 06:57 Dragon heart and this mega blocks movie called dragons or something. |
|
Dec 5, 2024 07:33 Land before time was great. The friends for dinner song killed me |

Dec 5, 2024 13:44
Someone did fake posters of a remake of land before time recentlym |

I watched willow the other week Malk🤣🤣. |
|
Dec 5, 2024 14:17 Daniel and I watched Willow a few months ago. It's one of my favorites! He'd never seen it before lmao |
|
|
Dec 5, 2024 14:18 Also I loved Fern Fully! The smog monster turning into a flaming skeleton scared me as a kid lmao |
|
|
Dec 5, 2024 14:18 I'll have to look up some of these otherentions. Vision Quest sounds familiar |
|
|
Dec 5, 2024 14:19 @Malkie did you watch the Dark Crystal series on Netflix? Was a pretty solid prequel series but unfortunately they canceled it 😭 |

|
Dec 5, 2024 19:58 I swear I've seen heavyweights before. They were in like "fat camp" and they all were still hiding snacks and never losing weight then someone comes in and takes over and gets super strict. Could be a different movie but it was so long ago |
|
|
Dec 5, 2024 21:18 @comax that's the movie! Lol. Ben Stiller plays the new Camp leader who is a fitness nut |
|
|
Dec 5, 2024 21:47 I thought once I started reading your post that I recognized it. I do not remember it being Ben Still so I'll def be gonig check it out again. I remember being pretty young when that movie came out. |
|
Dec 5, 2024 23:08 Garbage pail kids the movie. I mean the movie was terrible but the stickers were quite popular way back. |
|
|
Dec 5, 2024 23:32 Vision Quest was the movie about wrestling with Matthew Modean. It was huge when I was in high school. |
|

Dec 5, 2024 23:33 Krull, haha, good call. |

Dec 7, 2024 05:00 The old Beetlejuice cartoons were rarely known about, I used to watch them when I was 4/5. I found some vhs as a teenager and absolutely loved them. Now they can be streamed, but for a while a lot people didn't remember or hadn't seen them. |
|
|
Dec 7, 2024 05:19
I remember seeing them but not really being into the show. |
|
|
Dec 7, 2024 09:42 That's because those 3 ninjas movies were lame, a bunch of kids beating up the canon fodder henchmen with ease. There were about 3 of those movies, and fit right in in the 90's with the OG power rangers era. |

Milo and Otis |
|
|
Dec 7, 2024 16:41 Oh I remember Milo and Otis. There was a whole era of talking pet movies. Homeward Bound was another good example. |
|
|
Dec 7, 2024 18:21 Omg I remember Milo Otis, that unlocked a core memory 😆 |

|
Dec 8, 2024 07:00 Lmao, 3 ninjas.... I'd have never, ever thought of that movie again if not for this thread. I remember liking that flick as a kid. I get a pass, as I was the prime demographic for it. |

Homeward Bound made me want to have a pet cat |

I do not remember The Magic Voyage, unfortunately. It sounds kind of funny though. |
|
Dec 11, 2024 00:25
I have literally seen all these things, obscure is that thing what was about a dragon and some kids trying to find golden jigsaw pieces in a labyrinth, i've never met anyone who knows what that was, someone help me |
|
|
Dec 11, 2024 02:38 That was Banjo Kazooie. Pretty sure |

A.P Bio |
|
|
Dec 11, 2024 13:43
A.P Bio is great, its from that year they all decided to do something else, Mac did Mythic Quest and Dee did The Mick, but The Mick was the best one, 100% would recommend if you never saw it, shame it got cancelled |
|
Dec 13, 2024 06:07 One of my favorite childhood movies would probably have to be Hook |
|

Dec 13, 2024 13:01 Hook, that made me laugh. Good call. |

Dec 19, 2024 03:32 That's a throwback |
|
|
Dec 19, 2024 20:57 Id also add Last action Hero, the mighty ducks trilogy and my fav movie of all time Hackers |
|
|
Dec 19, 2024 20:58 well its a tie for favorite movie between hackers and SLC Punk |
|
|
Dec 20, 2024 13:21
SLC Punk is a movie I haven’t thought about in a long time too. |
|
|
Dec 20, 2024 14:42 It's called An American Tail and those mice are the Mousekewitz family smh |
|
|
Dec 20, 2024 18:49 Oh also, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAvztitWqjY |
|
|
Dec 22, 2024 02:02 SLC Punk was wonderful, but Hackers was a damn travesty imo. |

"Clerks" |
|
|
Dec 23, 2024 11:19 Speaking of Clerks, Dogma is getting a cinema re-release its gona be f**king sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet |
|
Dec 23, 2024 18:50
Evil Alien Conquerors - starring Diedrich Bader and Chris Parnell. |
|
|
Dec 23, 2024 18:54 Clerks is a gem. Clerks 2, while a totally different vibe, is also great. Mallrats, for whatever reason, does not seem to hold up as well, and that’s a shame. |
|
|
Dec 23, 2024 19:03 Mallrats is important because it teaches children to respect and fear escalators. |
|
|
Dec 23, 2024 19:10 I do remember that being a central focus of the movie. |
|
|
Dec 23, 2024 20:42 I'm still upset it took so long for Willem so long to see that darn sail boat |

|
Dec 23, 2024 21:37 The Rocketeer. |
|
|
Dec 24, 2024 00:27 Hmmm, rocketeer....Rock-a-Doodle! lol |
|
|
Dec 25, 2024 21:45 How about the crow and the black cauldron? |
|
|
Dec 26, 2024 06:27 Both classics. I finally got Neon to watch the Crow here in the last year. |
|
|
Dec 26, 2024 23:25 I remember watching Rock a Doodle when I was pretty young and spent much of my life thinking it was some fever dream I had when I was a kid. It was around the time I went to college I became aware of it again and was like "omg I remember this!" |
|
|
Dec 26, 2024 23:31 I loved that movie but hated Elvis's music makes no sense I know but here we are lol |

My older brother told me when I was seven that Count Orlock/Max Shreck from the original Nosferatu was actually a real vampire and they filmed him as himself. |
|

Dec 30, 2024 19:28
Definitely Wesley Snipes. His performance in US Marshals is one of the greatest gifts to cinema-going audiences in the long and winding history of major motion pictures. What an absolutely brilliant and inspiring actor. |

Laser Tag Academy. |
|
|
Jan 4, 2025 02:21
Laser Quest/laser-tag were catnip to a kids imagination. I used to daydream when I was little that we'd somehow recruit and organise about eight hundred kids into two giant teams. They would face off across one third of er..Swindon;and it would be epic. |
|
|
Jan 8, 2025 02:46 I can definitively say I've never heard of Laser Tag Academy |
|
Jan 15, 2025 22:54 I could mention Baraka (director Ron Fricke), an eye opener in our rotten glutton consumption and pollution egocentric world. Life is not about selfish and ignorant overconsumption, but responsibility. |
|
|
Jan 15, 2025 23:47 With no power, comes no responsibility. |
|
|
Jan 16, 2025 05:19 a movie called bats the premise was about genetically altered bats that looked like demons going around eating people it had lou diamond philips in it. |

|
|
Jan 17, 2025 22:29 I still need to see return to Oz lol |
|
|
Jan 18, 2025 13:44 Dog Soldiers is the best film about a man punching a werewolf. |
|
Jan 19, 2025 00:08
I remember Heavyweights! I did not know that about Ben Stiller's character. |
|
Jan 19, 2025 10:00
Haha return to Oz with the least scary villains either, idiots with rollarskates for hands and feet but somehow still f**ked up a lot of kids.... the new witch was wonderfully dark, the actor that plays Dorothy may seem very familiar... don't look it up wait till it clicks, also the asylum has the feel of an Emily Autumn album, well worth the watch. |
|
|
Jan 19, 2025 18:51 The Brave Little Toaster! Wow, what a reference, hadn’t thought of that one in ages. |
|
|
Jan 20, 2025 02:32 Watership down! Omg I saw that back when I was a kid. That traumatized me 😂😂😂 I ended up developing a fondness for it though and read the novel in middle school |
|
|
Jan 21, 2025 00:05 Just because neon and I watched it the other day, Titan AE was a pretty solid one |
|
|
Jan 21, 2025 01:12 If you enjoyed Watership down don't make the mistake of watching the remake, also you'll likely enjoy Plague dogs. |

Jan 21, 2025 15:14 Drop dead fred |

Jan 26, 2025 01:23 3 O’Clock High? I’ve heard of 12 O’Clock High with Gregory Peck but never 3 O’Clock High. What is that? |
|
Jan 27, 2025 03:18 cujo and mans best friend. hell even K9 was a funny movie at times |
|
|
Jan 27, 2025 03:39 3 O'Clock High is from the 80s about a kid who gets messed with by a bully so they meet at 3pm and the nerdy kid kicks the s**t out of the bully. The storytelling is better than it sounds. |
