Ice Pirates (1984): A bunch of A-Listers before they were big. Great practical effects. Spaceships, Pirates, Time Travel, ‘robots’ It was magnificent.
Close second: The Cat from Outer Space (1978). It was a Disney flick, but really great for the time.

Cat from outer space! One of my favs. Star studded cast too.

Yeah the budget was cut a lot just before shooting started. I think the director and cast said it’s going to bomb so let’s just have fun.

Probably for the best, I think the fun made it worth it. It gives me Airplane like vibes which fell under the same constraints.
Hugin@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Totally. If it wasn’t so fun we wouldn’t be talking about it today.

I absolutely fucking love how in pretty much the entire 3rd act how you can tell the whole cast is having fun and barely trying to stay serious even in the takes that made the final cut.
But you want to know the kicker? It’s not even my favorite Stewart Raffill movie.

What’s your favorite Stewart Raffill movie? Tell me it’s not Mac and Me.

I had no idea about his portfolio, I appreciate mac and me for it’s altruism, but it was just a little too E.T. for me when I wasn young and I think I get a little anti-nostalgia (is that a thing?) for it.
Is Tammy and the T-Rex #3? I could see that being a solid round out of the trilogy.
