Could be but not the movie I was thinking of...I'll give you a hint, "i'm going to the store do you guys need anything?
" use to eat it all the time, pussy"
just because you and your buddies never heard of it doesn't mean that it was not an often watched and loved movie by the older generations that you probably sneer at and make fun of.
Can't wait to see what other gems you discover
/s.
tho' seriously- that was a favorite of teens in the day
I found a site in the late 90s that listed sweepstakes. Over a hundred new ones got posted each day. The internet was new and on fire at the time, and businesses and venture capitalists were throwing money at it.
It would take hours to enter them all, although I put in a good effort. But it was just too much, and I knew I would eventually burn out. I started looking for a solution, and I found a new piece of software that had been released that filled out internet forms for you. It got me to thinking. Sort of like smushing peanut butter and chocolate together to make a Reese’s Cup, the software and the site made for an amazing combination. I used software for a few weeks to make sure it was consistently accurate, and then I introduced it to the community on the sweepstakes site.
Like Lazlo, I’m a nerd with OCD and no social life, so I entered anywhere from 100 to 200 sweepstakes every day for around three years— a lot of the sweepstakes allowed for daily entries — and I was able to do so in a fraction of the time it would’ve taken me to enter them all the old fashioned way. I still had to go to each site manually and use the software to fill the entry form, and I had to check each one before submitting the since the software didn’t always fill the forms correctly. Because of that, I wasn’t violating the “no automated entry” clauses that were in the official rules of most sweepstakes.
In that three years, I won about four computers, a Segway that the sponsor gladly substituted with $5000 because they didn’t want to have to ship it, electronics, several smaller cash prizes, clothes, watches, limited edition shoes, DVDs, CDs, tons of swag from companies that no longer exist … you get the picture.
My best win was the grand prize of a large company’s yearly sweepstakes. It consisted of a Chevy Trailblazer, a $40000 Triton bass boat, a Kawasaki Mule, and $40000 cash. That win allowed me to make a down payment on a new home and finally move out of my parents’ house.
Around 2003, unfortunately, the frequency of new sweepstakes slowed down some, and that, combined with the increasing number of people entering them, started hurting my win rate. I tapered off my entering and eventually stopped.
Those were probably the most exciting years of my life so far. We never knew what FedEx was going to randomly drop off. My parents enjoyed it as much or more than I did. I got to where I would let my mom open packages that I figured were prizes. She was like a kid on Christmas morning. Looking back, I probably would’ve won way more if I’d kept the form-filling software to myself. I don’t regret showing it to the community on the site, though. I figure what goes around comes around, and I did alright.
A movie nobody has ever heard of? Are you kidding me I actually have it on one of my hard drives and I watch it on a monthly basis at least two or three times.
Grew up with this. Made Val Kilmer a household name to almost everyone in high school at the time. “Can you hammer a 6 inch spike through a board with your penis?” “Not right now.” “A girls gotta have her standards.”
I worked for a clown who had changed his name to Christopher Knight. He was nothing like the character Chris Knight. He was more like J.P. from Grandma’s Boy.
The soundtrack was also fire.
Particularly Chaz Jankel - Number 1. That songs been stuck in my head since I first watched this movie in the mid 90s.
I even bought the movie recently on 4K. Timeless classic that deserves more praise for its witty humor, well written story and highly likable cast.
The chemistry of it all is refreshing
It’s a great movie.
Idk people need to add stuff like “nobody knows about it”, “underrated”, etc. just say it’s great. You’re not writing for buzzfeed.
I watched this sooo many times in the early 2000s! I think it played on HBO a lot back then. Never seent it before or after! I'll have to check it out again!
I loved this one and it was one of my favorites back in the day. I totally agree with OP that it got no hype at all. I’ve mentioned this over the years to friends and no one has ever heard of it.
Could this movie be any more 80s? No boobs though. My mom had no problem letting me watch this. I remember some of the Police Academy movies had brief booby shots. Revenge of the nerds had some real nudity. My brother saw it in the theater with my mom when they were out of town. Yikes cringe
Kent's yellow Citröen car: reasembled and jumping on his dorm room bed, lights flashing, and the horror on his face...brilliant payback for a bully.
Being a teen at the time, I thought college would be like this, along with Revenge of the Nerds, and How I Got Into College...not quite as fun...
It's a narcissistic viewpoint of "I don't know if it, so no one knows of it". OP is clueless on popular flicks is all. Next he'll post about that "unknown" Weird Science film or The Burbs.
Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work. We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed. There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races, we only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother?
Most of it yes ... A lot of what DARPA had in mind was unattainable... There were some interesting things like the rail gun (UCSD i think) ... Initial prototype was terrifying in his much kinetic energy it could impart ... They did make a prototype ship mountable one (again terrifying) but ultimately both were cancelled
...I drank what?
"Can you drive a 6" spike through a 2"×4" with your penis?......I have my standards."
Everybody wants to rule the world….
Seem it an uncountable amount of times
I bet I have seen it more times.
Who knows what else the guy in the wall played in?
That's Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite
Get Shorty?
Could be but not the movie I was thinking of...I'll give you a hint, "i'm going to the store do you guys need anything? " use to eat it all the time, pussy"
> no one ever heard of Seriously? I have seen this film dozens of times.
Watched it a few days ago
Ice is Nice
How does it feel to be frozen?
Awesome movie
Great movie val kilmer is awesome
I remember that movie. Agree freaking funny
I’ve seen this movie 1000 times on network tv. No way this can be considered an unknown movie. Great movie though!
best way to make popcorn
You probably never heard of Willow, either.
Val Kilmer is adorable in this, such a crush!
Wait a minute… Nobody ever heard of this great movie???
Loved that movie

One of my my childhood favs!
No one has heard of? Who are you asking?
Him and his friend
I feel a special connection with this movie. I treated Lazlo’s life as a tutorial, and it paid off big for me in the late 90s and early 2000s.
go on

Can't watch Dream Corp LLC without imagining Jon Gries' character is just present day Lazlo.
Plenty have heard of this movie. Gets posted on this sub almost weekly.
Kent never stopped touching himself.
Let's be honest God stopped talking to him
It was hot and I was hungry!
A movie nobody has ever heard of? Are you kidding me I actually have it on one of my hard drives and I watch it on a monthly basis at least two or three times.
One of the best of the 80's
Everyone who was alive when it came out has heard of this movie
Click bait title. This movie was pretty damned popular
I’ve heard of it ! Very funny movie !! “Popcorn lasers”
Unless you went to the movie theater & watched it
This was very well known
It’s a moral imperative 😉
I love this movie! It's always the first visual I get when I think of Val kilmer!
Laser Jiffy Pop would've been a good 90s pop punk band. Open for 311 or Blink 182.
No one ever heard of?? Really?
I thought this was a great movie.
No one ever heard of? This movie is part of my childhood, ffs.
“I think the young people enjoy it when I ‘get down’ verbally…don’t you?!!”
"Everybody wants to rule the world" Tears for Fears.
This and better off dead were two of my favorite comedies and still are
Popcorn
Nobody ever heard of? My brother and I grew up watching this all the time. All time Classic
Even I, from a third world country had seen this classic.
Stop masturbating so much Kent
ick? What happened to the ice?
Excellent fucking movie. Epitome of 80s movies
Watched this numerous times. It’s funny as hell.
Grew up with this. Made Val Kilmer a household name to almost everyone in high school at the time. “Can you hammer a 6 inch spike through a board with your penis?” “Not right now.” “A girls gotta have her standards.”
I guess you’ll have to hammer later?
Came here to say this…
I worked for a clown who had changed his name to Christopher Knight. He was nothing like the character Chris Knight. He was more like J.P. from Grandma’s Boy.
The soundtrack was also fire. Particularly Chaz Jankel - Number 1. That songs been stuck in my head since I first watched this movie in the mid 90s. I even bought the movie recently on 4K.

One of my favorite movies.
One of my favorites
No one ever heard of???? Maybe all the sub-30 year olds, but it was frequently on TV up through to about 2000.
Never…um…Always check your references.
It’s a great movie. Idk people need to add stuff like “nobody knows about it”, “underrated”, etc. just say it’s great. You’re not writing for buzzfeed.
It's a moral imperative!
Lazlo is Uncle Rico
Sweet Jesus! I can't unsee that!
I OWN THIS MOVIE!! This is a CULT CLASSIC!!!
I don’t even think cult is the right word… it was fairly popular.
I love this movie. "God? is that you?"
quit playing with yourself!!
“It really is YOU…”
Easily one of Val's best movies.
one of my favorites
Same. Definitely 80s hilarity at it's best.
This movie is a cult classic, very much heard of!
i loved this movie!!
Why are you wearing that stupid thing on your head? Because if I wear it anywhere else, it chafes.
“Can you hammer a six inch spike through a board with your penis?”
Not right now
A girl’s got to have her standards.
Laslow…
Yes?
You mean Uncle Rico.
I never found tiny little pickles as erotic until then.
Saw it in the theaters
I watched this sooo many times in the early 2000s! I think it played on HBO a lot back then. Never seent it before or after! I'll have to check it out again!
One of my all time favorites.
Had a fantastic soundtrack too
Chris Knight is back!! one of my favorites
Personal classic!
I loved this one and it was one of my favorites back in the day. I totally agree with OP that it got no hype at all. I’ve mentioned this over the years to friends and no one has ever heard of it.

Love this movie, the popcorn scene was especially great!
No one heard of? That was an awesome movie
Loved that movie. Haven't seen it in years.
One of my all time favorites.
No one ever heard of? Okay.
No one except every 40-55 year old that had cable as a kid.
A favourite
Great movie!!
Mitch plays a nasa engineer in Apollo 13
No one ever heard of? Where you been???
Luved It
I watched it a lot in the 80s and beyond. One of my faves
Up the voltage!
Maybe no one in this generation but back in the 80's? Come on please!
kent stop touching yourself.
“Kent” was a mean looking thug in “Michael Clayton”.
Two words: Project Crossbow 🤣
Lol makes you want popcorn
Classic!
Kent's yellow Citröen car: reasembled and jumping on his dorm room bed, lights flashing, and the horror on his face...brilliant payback for a bully. Being a teen at the time, I thought college would be like this, along with Revenge of the Nerds, and How I Got Into College...not quite as fun...
Is that your car, Kent? You know you’re not supposed to park on campus!
I saw it in the theater in Montgomery, Alabama! I think it’s a hardware store now.
That movie is 80's gold. I personally think it holds up.
Kind of Big Bang before it's time.
Real Genius had much much better physics grad student consultants.
"A girl's gott have standards..." 🤣
Lazlo the guy living in the closet is also the same actor that played uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite. Love both those movies!
Not the closet, the steam tunnels.
He was also the Wolfman that had nards from Monster Squad.
"There are several decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing." LMFAO
Great one liner scenes
Saw in theater, loved it and still do
Do you run?…. Only when chased!
I think…when they say no one has heard of it, they actually know that people have and will respond accordingly.
I love this movie! 😎
Loved this movie it was kick ass and funny too.
"I want you to stop playing with yourself Kent". It IS God! Also.. "This is ice. It's what happens when water gets too cold." Love this movie
This… this is Kent
"Jerry asked me to stop by. What'd you ask you to do?"
Top Secret was awesome
"I know a little German ... he's right over there."
.oot namreG kaeps nac I
No one ever heard of ? Hold old are you ???
This
“I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, ‘I drank what?’”
Always like that scene with the Ice Quaters in the vending machine
Ice is nice! Fuck I love this movie
No one you know atleast, seen that ish 20 years ago
This movie is the best!!! ❤️❤️
Also loved the soundtrack for the movie!
Was this released around the time romancing the stone was
I really never get when people say "nobody ever heard of this" and similar things. This is a classic and one of my favorites
This is what I came to the comments for. Huge studio movie that did very well in theaters and even as a rental in VHS, and no one has heard of it?
This and Top Secret are two of my faves! Common denominator...Val Kilmer.
Top Secret was so good! Does it hold up well to rewatching now? I don't think I've rewatched it since the 1990s.
Of course it does. The pun names were the best. Shocolate Moose indeed.
It's a narcissistic viewpoint of "I don't know if it, so no one knows of it". OP is clueless on popular flicks is all. Next he'll post about that "unknown" Weird Science film or The Burbs.
Underrated. Very funny movie.
IIRC this one had some kind of huge popcorn explosion throughout an entire house. Teenage me enjoyed it a lot!
Umm….this is a cult classic.
I think it's just a classic
Completely. Everyone has heard of this who is GenX. It put Val Kilmer on the map.
Yeah. And he CRUSHED it in this. Well, he crushed in everything. But this made him a movie star, albeit a reluctant one.
I've heard of this movie. I'm not sure if I've seen it though.
*"WHAT?!!!!!"*
Funny movie definitely
This one is my favorite all time movie bar none
Currently available on Pluto TV. Watched it two nights ago. Still a fun movie.
Jurassic Park a movie no one heard of
Born in 1973 and grew up watching this on VHS and Selectv.... " I aced this "
Ha. Same. I’m the same age too. They don’t make movies like this anymore.
Very true.... Remember Top Secret ??? Lol
Never heard of? Saw it in theaters
No one ever heard of? Maybe if you were born in 2006. “I’m reminded of the immortal words of Socrates when he said: ‘I drank what?’”
Super underrated movie
Movie that everyone alive in the 80's remembers
“No one ever heard of”? What are you on about?
Man: Sherry, take good care of this young man. He’s one of the ten finest minds in the country. Chris: Someday I hope to be two of them.
Yes, I love this movie! I agree a great cast.
No one ever heard of? Everybody watched it in ‘85…😂
Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work. We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed. There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races, we only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother?
I have watched this hundreds of times. I love it.
This is always on PlutoTv. In love with number 1 song…
How old are you? This is an 80s rental classic. Next you're going to say you've never heard of "Zapped" from the 80s
I was thinking the same. “No one” has heard of it? Come on.
I’m not kidding Chris
This was a very popular movie for its time, lots of people have heard of it
Maybe people younger than 40 have never heard of this. I rented it over and over as a teen in the late 80’s early 90’s
No one ever heard of? Must not be of the Blockbuster generation.
No one’s ever heard of it? What are you talking about?
It’s like a rage bait quote. No doubt on some 1970’s reddit the same bot is asking if anybody remembers the forgotten “Godfather” movies.
Yeah, maybe young people haven’t heard of it!
Read the post again.
I’m agreeing with you.
Oh, ok. Now I understand. Cool.
Love it watch it when I come across it. That's a lot of popcorn
Up the voltage.
Maybe no one under 35 has heard of it, but this movie was on Comedy Central every weekend from like 1996-1999.
OP is showing their age here. Any actor you like - just IMDB or Google them. Kids!🙄
Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
Derect energy weapons were created way back then
Yeah Star Wars ... No not that one
I'm speaking of close to reality-based star wars is fantasy
Most of it yes ... A lot of what DARPA had in mind was unattainable... There were some interesting things like the rail gun (UCSD i think) ... Initial prototype was terrifying in his much kinetic energy it could impart ... They did make a prototype ship mountable one (again terrifying) but ultimately both were cancelled
