Name a film or tv show you think no one on here has heard of -

[peachese]

So for tv show:

When the Street Lights Go On.
Really good and equally as sad.

Films …. Maybe Creep 2004, I just rewatched it all these years later. But maybe it’s not as obscure as I think.

I was assuming @Aurora2023 had discounted that one already as it's pretty expensive, or maybe I'm just too mean to pay £20 😁

@RichardMarxisinnocent yes! You're right, it was a ferry and the first series (I think there were three) went from Gothenburg to Amsterdam to Felixstowe. I had letters read out on Points of View about it .... I absolutely loved it. A few years ago I found some early episodes on YouTube so other people watched it, despite all the criticism it received.

Plenty

Rescue me

@DreamW3aver I feel like I may have looked on Amazon before, but indeed I am also too mean to spend £20 (plus a potential purchase of a DVD machine for this only purpose) so I'll check out series 1 on the old YouTube and see if it still holds my heart before committing further !

Denis Leary?

Loved that!

And the theme song!

I suspect you may be too young ro Remeber 'Beauty and the Beast' panel show with Selwyn Toogood??
Then there was 'Close to Home'
John Rowles (singer)
I loved NZ. Sadly, did not stay!

Ten Town, an Australian children's series I remember seeing in the UK as a child. Original title was The Terrific Adventures of the Terrible Ten.

Unsurprisingly, a hate figure was red-haired lad called Freckles O'Foot.

@diddl yes! I loved it but nobody I know has ever heard of it. It was really good 😁

I might have to try to find some YouTube videos!

Doea anyone remember a children's drama, set in New Zealand, called Children of Fire Mountain? I've found the odd mention of it online, but never met anyone who remembers watching it.

I have this on dvd lol!

Something called Finney, about Newcastle gangster nearly 30 years ago.

I don’t remember a thing about what it was about, but I do remember it was the moment I decided that David Morrissey was one of the sexiest men to ever walk this earth, and have yet to be abused if this notion.

Someone has uploaded it to Youtube and I'm rewatching it, it's as brilliant as I remember it being!

give 15 Storeys High and Harold and Maude a watch. My top tips x

Ginger Snaps is a full on feminist horror, great fun if you’re not averse to blood

@bbirthdaymom I've seen and lovr Paulie. Made me want a parrot. Always cry at the end!

There is no way anyone has seen, nor should they see, Tomkat - Dangerous Desires.

Richard Greico gets his DNA mixed with a cat. Utters some hilarious lines, does some atrocious 'ballet' to electronica and murders a few people while craving milk and fish.

@FoxtrotOscarKindaDay I've seen Blood Ties, that's a good one!

Gommora is totally amazing!

Marianne Dreams (book) was made into the tv series escape into the night in 1972.
Quite dark, but brilliant

@DisneyHag I remember that (off to find if On Demand). @Compash that sounds like my sort of film - thanks! My contribution is the "Gods must be Crazy". A lazy pilot of a small plane chucks a Coke bottle out of window over the Kalahari desert where it's found, intact, by a small tribe. Initially, they find they can utilise it as a tool for various things but it causes dissension in the community and never ever previous concepts of individual ownership. Eventually, one member of the tribe has enough and sets off to get rid of it by chucking if off the end of the world. I don't remember it as being condescending but it must be at least 30 years ago!

Yes, we obviously watched the same programmes! I loved this - there was Guide Anna (?) and Te Pouranui - spelled phonetically, can't recall but I remember trying to say them with a NZ accent. I recall being a bridesmaid in 1981 and asking for my hair to be like Sarah Jane's ....

I listed The God's Must Be Crazy way upthread. So I guess at least two of us have heard of it! It does have some very problematic attitudes to race in it, both the guerilla and the bush people. It was made in apartheid South Africa, and it shows.

Because of this thread I looked it up it’s on prime video!
