excuse me, newbie here, but i wanted to know how many people out there get a kick out of these ridiculously sounding (fake) movies seinfeld and friends go to see? it's almost like an inside, recurring joke. last night's "sack lunch" has got to be one of the best, but my other personal favorites are "chunnel" and "firestorm" (which, by the way, they went and saw over several episodes)

any other mock-movies i missed?

Let's not forget my personal favorite: "Death Blow"! :)

A trillion dollars and it goes up all the time. You know what that means? Somewhere out there, someone still insists on loaning us money. I don't know about you, but if someone runs up a tab like that one me and I get a call from them hitting me up for more, I'm gonna say, `Hey, man, what about the trillion you already owe me? That's eighteen zeros, babe. You know, I've got to see something. A deuce. The first fifty billion. Something. I'll go with you, pal, but I'm feeling a little used here.'

And "Prognosis Negative," "Ponce De Leon" and "Rochelle, Rochelle" - One girl's erotic journey from Milan to Minsk!!!

	I don't think so.  But there is a film
	in my local video store called "Rachel, Rachel."
	It looks like it may be European.

Has anyone seen this one?

OH! Oh! Go rent it and report back to us. I bet "Rochelle, Rochelle" was a parody! Did Rachel have an erotic journey from Milan to Minsk?

Rachel Rachel is a movie based on Margaret Laurence's "In Jest of God". Starring Joann Woodward and directed by Paul Newman. Not exactly what you would call an erotic journey.

Anyway, I thought that "Rochele Rochele" was supposed to be a Broadway show.

It was, remember?! It's the episode where Bette Midler was playing Rochele and then got injured in a baseball game (George's fault -- I bet) and that Tonya Harding clone (the understudy) gets her part. She even sings that "Milan to Minsk" thing.

The musical of "Rochelle Rochelle" that Bette Midler was performing in was the musical stage adaptation of the movie "Rochelle Rochelle" which George, Jerry and Elaine saw in an earlier episode.

There was also an episode where George couldn't go see an action movie with Jerry and Kramer but had to see some artsy tear jerker with Susan. I can't remember the names of either movie. There was also a scene where Kramer went to get hot dogs and missed part of a movie,

Wasn't that "Prognosis Negative"? Or maybe "Plan 9 from Outer Space"? Both were used in plots, though I can't recall which episodes.

And "Schindler's List", and "The English Patient".

Damn they spend a lot of time in theaters, don't they!

And don't forget Death Blow, Checkmate, and Ponce DeLeon.

wasn't there also an action movie called something like "Firestorm"? .. I think there's actually a real movie with the same title now.

and one episode recently repeated here had George returning a hired video copy of the movie..I think it was the show where he finds his former girlfriend had become a lesbian etc.

there is the possibility that the whole, "Rochele, Rochele" thing is a clever hoax that the show ppl like to use when dealing with a movie/play.

the counter arguement is that they used Schindler's List and other actual movie references... dunno :)

Nay...although who wouldn't pay to see a young girl's erotic journey from Milan to Minsk?

Now what was the name of the movie Jerry was talked into bootlegging? Actually two...

It was "Death Blow", and I'm not sure what the other one was.\

Jerry, Kramer, and the bootlegger guy went to see: "DeathBlow" - When someone blows you up, not for who you are, but for different reasons altogether... Later, they went to "Cry, Cry Again" - First you cry, then you see the dancer, and you cry again...
