jimmy reardon box

NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF JIMMY REARDON
1988
River Phoenix

Tragic teen icon River Phoenix stars in this teen comedy.
no small affair box

NO SMALL AFFAIR
1984
Jon Cryer
Demi Moore

Teen comedy with Cryer as a teen infatuated with slightly older hot babe Moore.
nobody's fool box

NOBODY'S FOOL
1985
Rosanna Arquette
Eric Roberts

It is a shame this film never found its audience.
Don't confuse this film with the Paul Newman movie of the same title. This is one of those gems that makes you come back again and again.  Rosanna Arquette plays comely confused Cassie Stoolie, a small town girl who hooks up with a traveling L.A. summer theater troop and falls for stage technician Eric Roberts. Shot entirely in and around Prescott, Arizona, "Nobody's Fool" is a minor classic that deserved a better release than it ever got, if it ever got one. Arquette gives an outstanding performance and she and the supporting cast is a joy to watch.


  nobody's fool 2 box

NOBODY'S FOOL
(duplicate -- see details to the left)


Not sure how I ended up with two copies of this classic sleeper but you win since I have two copies to sell!

not for publication box

NOT FOR PUBLICATION
1984
Nancy Allan
David Naughton
Meager Paul Bartel comedy that isn't saved by having either Allen or Naughton in it.

off beat box

OFF BEAT
1986
Judge Reinhold
Meg Tilly
Joe Gower (Reinhold) works in the library (on roller skates!?) Adding complication to his otherwise bookish life, Gower agrees to
pose as a police officer and participate in a charity dance. He falls for a female officer in the show and gets into various scrapes with fellow cops and also crooks.



off the wall box

OFF THE WALL
1982
Paul Sorvino
Rosanna Arquette
(From the imdb.com)
"Two young hitchhikers are picked up a speed-crazed young woman, who tears around the countryside. She leaves them to take the blame for her activities, and they find themselves sentenced to six months in prison. The girl, feeling bad about what she did to them, resolves to break them out of the prison."



one crazy summer box

ONE CRAZY SUMMER
1986
John Cusack
Curtis Armstrong
Demi Moore
dir: Savage Steve Holland

Another wild Savage Steve Holland film with John Cusack playing his put-upon hero and Demi Moore his love interest. Curtis Armstrong steals every scene he's in and Bobcat Goldthwait screams his lines. This is one whacked movie but great fun. Try to double bill this one with "Better Off Dead" at your video party.

SOLD
 NO LONGER AVAILABLE






one night stand box

ONE NIGHT STAND
1984
(Australia)

A movie about teens trying to act like teens while the world is just about to push the nuclear button. The ending is almost as depressing as "On the Beach."


oxford blues box

OXFORD BLUES
1984
Rob Lowe
Alley Sheedy
Amanda Pays

Lowe is the fish-out-of-water at Oxford where he gets the hots for royalty (Amanda Pays) and ends up with Alley Sheedy. Hey, unfair!
party animal box

PARTY ANIMAL
1983

More "Animal House" hyjinks on campus. A pizza and beer movie.

phantom box

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE
1974
Paul Williams
Gerrit Graham

I'll never understand the attraction to Rocky Horror Picture Show when Phantom of the Paradise is a far superior movie.

phase 4 box

PHASE 4
1974
Nigel Davenport
Michael Murphy
Lynne Frederick
dir: Saul Bass

Director Saul Bass made this moody sci-fi pic about ants taking over the world.
picasso trigger box

PICASSO TRIGGER
1989
Dona Spier
dir. Andy Sadaris

Playmate Dona Spier bares lots of skin in this Andy Sidaris outing. It is spies and counterspies and lots of guns (of more than one kind) and bikinis. Yummy.
porkys revenge box

PORKY'S REVENGE
aka "Porky's 3"
1985
Dan Monahan

The amazing success of "Porky's" spawned 2 sequels. This is number 3


porkys 2 box

PORKY'S 2-THE NEXT DAY
1983
Dan Monahan

Sort of a "Down South In the Swamp Animal House" if you must know. "Porky's" was a big hit on the theater circuit so they made several sequels. Get your corn here (see the film, you'll get the joke).
prime time box


PRIME TIME
1980
Warren Oates
(TV satire)

There were several TV parodies in this time. Remember: Tunnelvision? Kentucky Fried Movie? Groove Tube? PRIME TIME is one of the lesser known films but it contains some really funny bits.

protocol box

PROTOCAL
1984
Goldie Hawn
Chris Sarandon

Goldie Hawn really can act and she is very good at playing a ditz, even a fairly smart ditz. Small town transplant ends up the toast of the diplomatic corps and becomes a pawn in a sneaky political ploy. Yes, it's a comedy. Better than it sounds. I also recommend seeing Hawn's recent film titled "The Banger Sisters."


purple rain box

PURPLE RAIN
1984
Prince
Apollonia Kotero
Morris Day
Clarence Williams III

Morris Day all but steals the show from moody Prince. Mostly we just want to stare at Apollonia's chest -- or her entire body for that matter. Semi-autobiographical musical that put Prince's star on both the musical and movie map. Fans of his music get an earfull too.

ratings game box

RATINGS GAME
1984
Danny Devito
Rhea Perlman

When Danny Devito discovers (by accident) that he can control the TV ratings, the whole network he works for goes off the tracks.

reckless box

RECKLESS
1984
Aidan Quinn
Darryl Hannah

Aidan Quinn plays the troubled James Dean part and he's not bad. Trapped in a dirty ugly steel town, he only wants out. He finds his love interest in an equally moody Darryl Hannah.

red blooded american girl box

RED BLOODED AMERICAN GIRL
1990
Andrew Stevens
Heather Thomas

What a terrific movie this would have been had it a better budget and a better script. As it is, the idea's not bad. This biotech company is doing some very illegal experiments on human subjects and genius Andrew Stevens is brought in to bail them out of trouble. It seems this serum they came up with turns people into vampires but their blood lust only makes them consume themselves. Heather Thomas shows her body off very well as one of the victims that Stevens is trying to save.
repo man box

REPO MAN
1983
Emilio Estevez
Harry Dean Stanton

Emilio Estevez plays a punk rocker who gets involved with a repo company. Along the way he also gets caught up in a strange alien mystery. A much under-appreciated movie. Harry Dean Stanton is brilliant as an old cynical repo man who mentors Estevez. This film rocks.
revenge of the nerds box

REVENGE OF THE NERDS II
1987
Robert Carradine
Curtis Armstrong

The college nerds are back for another go-around but this silly follow up to the successful first film isn't as good -- EXCEPT for Curtis Armstrong, playing the disgusting character of Booger, who meets his "master" -- played to the disgusting hilt by character actor James Hong. I couldn't stop laughing.

SALE PENDING

roommate box

The ROOMMATE
1984
Lance Guest

rosebud beach hotel box

ROSEBUD BEACH HOTEL
1985

1984
Adam Mills
Lynda Weismeier
Steve Nave
Harry Reems
Paul Coufos

Soft-core sex film about an out-of-control party at a swank home in the Hollywood hills.

Teen sex comedy by B budget exploitation director Wynorski.

Slightly above average teen comedy.

SENIORS
1978
Dennis Quaid
Priscilla Barnes

Above average early teen sex farce about a student who comes up with an insane plan to graduate.

sherlock holmes woman in green box

SHERLOCK HOLMES: WOMAN IN GREEN
1945
Basil Rathbone
Nigel Bruce

Sherlock Holmes classic starring the razor sharp Basil Rathbone and, as Watson, the lovable teddy bear, Nigel Bruce.

sixteen candles box

SIXTEEN CANDLES
1984
Molly Ringwald
Justin Henry

Brat packer Ringwald plays teen angst to the limit as a young girl who is feeling ignored -- and pissed off that her family forgot her 16th birthday.
(Tape comes in white clamshell box)
sleuth box

SLEUTH
1972
Lawrence Olivier
Michael Caine

Another play that became a feature film -- and a pretty good one too.
so fine box

SO FINE
1981
Ryan O'Neal
Jack Warden

Will anyone ever remember this gem from 1981? If you remember the butt hugging jeans fad on TV, then this movie will put a smile on your face.

some kind of wonderful box

SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL
1987
Eric Stoltz
Mary Stuart Masterson
Lea Thompson

Better-than-average teen angst movie about a boy (Stoltz) from the other side of the tracks (literally) who has a hot streak for a rich girl (Thompson) not noticing his closest female friend (Masterson) has an awful crush on him already.


spacehunter box

SPACEHUNTER: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
1983
Peter Strauss
Molly Ringwald

Peter Strauss gets into serious trouble tracking down a bounty on a very violent planet. Ringwald plays a street urchin -- or should I say planet urchin -- who helps Strauss find his bounty.
splash box

SPLASH
1984
Tom Hanks
Darryl Hannah
John Candy

Hanks falls for a mermaid (Hannah) while John Candy yucks it up. Better-than-usual fantasy comedy from the Disney company. And I mean that in the nicest way. Movie trivia moment: I shot part of the opening credits.
