    The only one I can think of is one of my favorite movies starring Josh Lucas. It's a very funny movie called No Money Down, had to buy it off of Amazon couldn't find it in any store or video rental retailers.

    ok so i have heard of some of the movies you guys posted lol. i have heard of Hard Candy someone i work with just told me about this movie. Reefer Madness with Kristen Bell i wanna see soo bad. last year someone told me about it, i'll have to go out and look for it.

    wolfesgamergirl i totally forgot that Eric Szmanda was in 100 Girls! i remember his part and when i saw it i was freaking out. he's so cute in that movie.

    i tend to find a lot of these movies in places like Coconuts, FYE and Suncoast. for some movies i even go to eBay, i just got Fallen Arches with Carmine Giovinazzo off there. i also got a few at Virgin Mega Store in Times Square their movie selection is awesome but really expensive.

    True Romance- Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater. it's a Quentin Tarantino written movie. he used the money he go from selling the script to pay for Resivoir Dogs.

    Two of a Kind- Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. cheesy cheesy '80s movie but can't resist watching lol.

    Xanadu- Olivia Newton John. my mom got this for me years ago on VHS b/c she remembered seeing it when she was younger and thought i would like it. it's possibly one of the worst movies ever made but the soundtrack is amazing and it's such a guilty pleasure to watch.

    Haunted Honeymoon- Gilda Radner, Gene Wilder, and Dom DeLouise

    The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes's Smarter Brother- Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn

    Yellowbeard- old movie from the '80s with Monty Python, Madeline Kahn, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman and a whole bunch of other comedians.

    Frisco Kid- Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford

    World's Greatest Lover- Gene Wilder.

    Caffeine- Katherine Heigl, Marsha Thompson, Breckin Meyer, Sonya Walger (she's an ex-porn star in this movie!!!), Callum Blue, Mena Suvari, and a whole bunch more. bought it mostly for Katherine Heigl

    Side Affects- Katherine Heigl

    I'm surprised when I ask around that such a small amount have heard of this movie. It did come out in theatres. :rolleyes: (Well, select theatres but that's good enough for me) There was all this hype about it too.

    Ashley, I own 'Devour'! :D Weird movie but entertaining.

    -Fathers and Sons: Now, there are more than one version of this movie, being that they're two completely different movies. I've actually asked around at every video store known to man and they don't have it. Someone actually asked me "Is it foreign?" Yeesh. Uh, by foreign you mean 'American', yeah. :rolleyes: Very foreign. The film has Rory Cochrane and Jeff Goldblum in it.

    -Love and a .45: You should see the weird looks I get when I rent this. :lol: It's another Rory Cochrane movie but it's insanely weird and so very inappropriate. And for some reason no one can seem to say the title properly.

    -Black and White: Okay, this one has another version ie: a completely different movie with the same title, so it's hard to find. I had to get it off of Ebay or Amazon and it was through a friend. It's basically Rory Cochrane as a young new cop and his partner Gina Gershon as the hardened sexy female cop which kind of makes it seem like a bad B movie porn flick but hey, there was a movie underneath it all. :eek: (I totally just made this movie sound more horrible than it is)

    Black Sheep -- Never seen it but it's another NZ made one so I don't think many people have heard of it... *thinks*
