My aunt took me to see this when she was babysitting. For the longest time, I honestly thought I imagined/dreamed it because I never saw or heard a thing about this movie for decades.

I read in Carrie Fisher's biography that this was the movie that Carrie took LSD with the dwarfs during the movie set

I haven’t thought about this film in decades! When I was younger this movie was on a loop on HBO.

Appreciate the shout out to Warner Archive! A lot of great older movies would be wiped off the face of the earth if it wasn't for them.

Man, Chevy Chase is a regular on this channel.

Damn, Carrie Fisher was such a knockout. Just gorgeous. Between this and The Man With One Red Shoe, it's mind-boggling and infuriating that anybody in Hollywood ever gave her any s--t about her weight. Any thinner, and she would've looked ill.
It's sad that she didn't get more parts. I loved her in The Burbs, too. She and Hanks played well off each other.
Good Chemistry, and talent. She should've gotten more roles over the years.

"Where to?"
"Ballroom."
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was crowding you."
Caught this on HBO every chance I
got.

As a kid in the early 80s this was on HBO all the time and I loved it. Not sure if I would as an adult.

[mccallosone]

loved this movie as a kid, they played it all the time afternoons on HBO

[movieedge]

I love under the rainbow very underrated comedy. They used to show it on free TV in Chicago a lot in the mid 80’s now sadly it’s not played anymore. I have it on dvd as well
Now I want to watch it again ❤

Was a favorite growing up, mentioned to my daughter when Wicked came out that this is my favorite Oz movie!

[stretchyhulk]

This movie was on cable what felt like continuously in the early 80s.

Love Billy Barty in UHF!! Wild to find out he was one or the original voices of Disney’s Figment, too!

I remember loving this movie as a kid when it was on cable.

[chrisgreulich]

This is such an underrated film. It has a lot of laughs in it. I loved Carrie Fisher in this film. She is gorgeous.

[goseeblue]

Maybe it's my sense of humor, but this is one of my all-time favorites!

[imtired]

"Ze pearl iz in ze river!" -- pointing at a pearl that had fallen into some chopped liver. I'm reminded of my dearly departed brother, who LOVED this movie. Thanks for the upload.

I remember seeing this as a kid on HBO, back in 1982. I also remember liking it because of the juvenile humor. It might even get some chuckles from me if I saw it today. BTW, this movie is available on streaming at Vudu.

Content never disappoints.
Great work as always!

A great way to start the weekend is getting a new Hats Off video
