Who remembers these two from I believe the late 70's:

The Groove Tube
Tunnelvision

How about an obscure comedy from the 90's about the 70's. Dazed and Confused!

You better believe it, Steve.
Probably the best 80's topless scene in a comedy.

Dazed and Confused is a GREAT movie.
Pretty much established Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey. Alright Alright Alright !
Lots of cool vintage Musclecars including a '73 SD 455 Trans Am and a '70 Chevelle SS454 LS6-450hp.

I always like threads like this, wherever I find them. It always gives me ideas for new movies. I keep thousands of flicks on my PLEX server, which replaced a bedroom full of DVD racks on four walls. Now reduced to about eight file boxes with the disks and artwork in sleeves.

I loved Don Knotts in The Reluctant Astronaut, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, and to a lesser extent, The Incredible Mr. Limpett.

Those three movies came on the first three nights we got "The Superstation" WTBS in the mid 70's. Between classic movies like that and the comical entertainment of the last place Braves of that time, we seldom watched anything else after the news. What a surprise it was when they started winning!

My wife recently got hooked on Svengoolie, on MeTV. I've recently seen several classic movies in their entirety for the first time, that I probably should have seen years ago:

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
Frankenstein
Munsters, Go Home!
This Island Earth
