The "I Saw it in the Theatres" Game

Ok Im bored so I thought of a game we could play. I'll go first by posting a movie that I saw in theatres that hardly anyone else saw in theatres. Then if you saw that movie in theatres, you post a different rarley seen movie you saw in theatres. Try not to post independent, foriegn, or extremley low budget films because that would probably kill the thread in a hurry.

Ok my movie is

The Quest starring Jean Claude Van Damme

Narc. Both in the UK and in Australia.
Pretty good considering it had a limited theatre release and was only out for a week or so.

Wait, so the idea is, I would have to have seen Orgazmo in the theatre to post next? Well I did.

My pick is Mystery Science Theater 3000-The Movie . I believe that it was the lowest grossing film released by a major studio (Universal/Gramarcy) in the year it was released (there were only about 6 people in the theatre when I saw it). Oops, did I kill the thread? (nah, I can't be the only serious MST3K fan here)

I saw MST3K in the theater as well, but ours was pretty packed.

My friend and I were the coolest people there...and that's really sad.

I've seen the following classics with my wife, who was my best friend before we dated and would see anything in the theater with me:

Super Mario Brothers
Street Fighter
The Van Damme hockey movie that I can't remember the title of and am too lazy to look up.
Several others I'm forgetting.

We saw the two Van Damme movies when we were on Thanksgiving break, one each year. We used to call it a Van Damme Thanksgiving.

Yeah, I saw MST3K: The Movie three times in the theater, and each time it was packed full of people!

I think it's ironic that I'm the biggest Office Space hata on the board yet I saw this when it first came out in the theaters.

I also saw The Quest.

I saw both The Qwest and Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy in the theater.

Ok, here is the stumper. I am confident that no one went to see this in the theater (at least I hope not):

The Stupids

You people are not playing by the rules.

I saw Throne of Blood, Killing Zoe, and Sid & Nancy in theaters, so there.

I have seen Splitting Heirs and Sid & Nancy in the theater.

My contribution is Walking Tall in a theater. Joe Don Baker was my hero!

Ok, since all rules have been thrown out the door (that means no, I didn't see Motel Hell in the theatre), let me add that I saw the John Leguizamo opus, The Pest in the theatre. It was my friends idea, honest.


And its nice to see that there are alot of MST3K fans that supported the MST film.
