Some of us have close ties to the San Jose B-Movie megaplex.
Every once and a while some memory surfaces of a movie that has been completely forgotten, but at the time was very popular.
I formally open this thread to those 70's/80's movies that were popular at The Quad but have dropped off the face of NetFlix:
1. An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) - huge lines for weeks. People have heard of it, no one has seen it.
2. The Seduction of Joe Tynan (1979) - Alan Alda was president (I so wanted this to happen)
3. Corvette Summer (1978) - Coolest Corvette ever, also Mark Hammill.
4. If You Could See What I Hear (1982) - Apparently unavailable on DVD. Hugely popular at The Quad. Marc Singer as a blind guy.
5. The Legacy (1978) - Sam Elliot was in it, but is not proud.
6. The Changeling (1980) - George C. Scott was in it. Very scary and forgotten.
7. The In-Laws (1979) - Freakin' hilarious movie with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. Remember when Alan Arkin was funny? Neither do I.
8. Timerider - I own this on DVD. It's still a great no-one has seen movie. Michael Nesmith of The Monkees co-wrote it, so there.
Anyway - add to this thread if there are 70s/80s movies you remember that the rest of us have forgotten. Do not post "The Goonies" - that movie sucked and your love of it will not make it suck less.
