I posted a favorite Muppet Show clip, but it seems already to have been taken down. So, I’ll make this entry instead to be a running list of movies I can come back to later.

* The Van (1977)– Supposedly a good college sex comedy, and it features the one hit wonder song “Chevy Van” as well as the first screen appearance of Danny DeVito.
* Patton — I need to see George C. Scott in something other than Doctor Strangelove, and this would open a ton of MST3K references for me.
* 1984 (1956) — I had no idea there was a 50s production. I only saw the remake.
* Young at Heart — I have a bad feeling, but I want to validate. Maybe it’s actually good!
* 1776 — Someone made a musical about the Declaration of Independence?
* Let It Ride — a sentimental day at the races with Richard Dreyfuss
* Stuart Saves His Family — file under morbid curiosity
* Death Race 2000 — In addition to being a terrible Roger Corman movie, there was a horrible video game of this.
* The Jerk — I’m fairly sure I’ve seen it, but I feel like refreshing my memory.
* It’s Alive — Either the 1975 Larry Cohen movie about a giant mutant baby, or something much worse directed by Larry Buchanen (better known for Attack of the the Eye Creatures). It’s cinematic Russian roulette!
* The Paper Chase TV series (late 70s to 1983) — I’ve seen the movie, but I didn’t realize there was a TV series that ran for four seasons.  I will want to watch this when I have some more distance and nostalgia between me and my own college years.
