"Dark Star" - Great low-budget, 1974 John Carpenter space flick.

"Easy Money" - Classic Rodney.

"Midnight Run" - Great deadpan Grodin: "Ninety-nine bottles of beer-on-the-wallllllll..."

"The Three Stooges in Orbit" - Great Saturday afternoon movie.

Great movies: "Dark Star" was the seed for nearly every major SciFi moves for the next 15 years (they all had either a Writer, Director or Special Effects director from Dark Star involved, and Alien was based on just part of the movie).

"Easy Money" is Rodney Dangerfield's unsung classic, one of his funniest movies, plus several other good actors came out of it. And I got to see part of it being filmed as a kid on Staten Island.

"Midnight Run" is a great buddy/road picture like Hope/Crosby's "Road..." pictures & "Planes, Trains & Automobiles."

Isn't the "The Three Stooges in Orbit" the one where they escape the Martians by jumping off the edge of the world? It's been a long time & I might have it mixed up with "Have Rocket, Will Travel."
