"The Pool Guy" was a bonanaza of ersatz movies: BROWN-EYED GIRL, FIRESTORM, MOUNTAIN HIGH (starring Kevin Bacon and Susan Sarandon -- inspired by THE RIVER WILD?), and CHUNNEL. But I didn't catch the title of the movie Elaine asked Kramer (555-FILK) about.
The Paragon had a poster for FORGET PARIS and, I believe, BEYOND RANGOON.

I don't know what film Elaine called Kramer about either, but I know that Seinfeld has been using fake movie titles for a while. Anyone remember CHOW FUN, ROCHELLE,ROCHELLE, and PROGNOSIS NEGATIVE.

CHOW FUN is not a film's title. I think it was a Chinese dish George was trying to order for delivery. a broad noodle, he explained to Kramer when he asked about it.
Actually...you're both right. Chow Fung was the "broad noodle" dish that George wanted. However, Chow Fung was also the name of the movie Elaine asked Kramer about on the Movie Phone...

that

I thought the movie Elaine called Kramer about was Chunnel. That was the movie she and Jerry and Susan went to see that night. It was playing in two theaters -- one at nine o'clock and one at nine-thirty.

Elaine
George was the one who asked Kramer about Chunnel.

Are you certain? I watched this one fairly recently and I thought the movie title Elaine asked about was called "Chunnel," which was the film her, Jerry and Susan went to see. If you listen closely to the dialogue of the film playing in the background, they seem to be talking about the "tunnel" which runs under the English "channel" - hence "Chunnel."
That's my take anyway. :)

Aaron, Prognosis Negative is a real move. It's an old one, I saw it maybe 25 yrs ago on tv. (b/w) Anyway, it was a good movie, something about a woman who had a terminal illness, or you found it out at the end, "...Prognosis Negative" (was the last line in the movie.) I don't remember the specifics, but it was good, made an impression on me and I was young (maybe 9?) and I'd like to see it again. you wrote:

Don't fprget about "Chunnel" The story of unbridled passion
"Why don't you just TELL me where you want to see the movie?"
If you look closely, whenever they go to a movie theater, the posters in the background are for Castle Rock Movies (such as "Year of the Comet"), the same production company that makes Seinfeld. Also, Champagne Video, the video store that George visits, really does exist in NYC. Finally, although Jerry's video collection surprisingly includes titles from other studios (like Disney and Paramount), Newman's stack of videos briefly seen in the episode with the golf clubs this yr. were all Castle Rock/New Line video releases... --JLR
How could PROGNOSIS NEGATIVE still be showing in a theatre? It's not famous enough to have a revival. I still don't think it's real; I'm looking it up in the Leonard Maltin book.
Was CHOW FUN the movie Elaine called 555-FILK (Kramer) about?

HOT HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP!!!
"OVER 6,400 SUBSCRIBERS AND GROWING!!!!"
Rated Top 5% by Point Survey
Three Stars from Internet Underground Magazine
[Composite Sample Issue]HOT GOSSIP about Heather Locklear... Gillian Anderson... Kelsey Grammar... Princess Di... Seinfeld... George Clooney... Tiffany Amber-Thiessen... Jennie Garth... Teri Hatcher... OJ Simpson... Madonna... Courteney Cox....
HEATHER LOCKLEAR �does her own bikini waxing� and will sometimes even �wax a friend�.(Star) Thoughts: 1) Waxing her bikini? Who cares? When she goes to the beach, do you really think Heather looks down, and goes, �Oh! My bathing suit is totally unshiny!�
2) Waxing her friends? Guys, lined up outside her estate: �Heather! HEATHER! Wax me, wax me!�
COURTENEY COX has a psychic named SHOOSHAN, who told her her to break up with MICHAEL KEATON, and COURTENEY OBEYED!!! (Examiner). Thoughts: 1) What else could the psychic get Courteney to do? Rather than leave it to the imagination, we've compiled a purely hypothetical list: ********************************************* THINGS THAT SHOOSHAN CAN GET COURTENEY TO DO A) Dress up like a chicken "It will get you a part in the next Ace Venture movie."
B) Give all her money to SHOOSHAN "I will manage it well for you."
C) Have her send Michael Keaton to SHOOSHAN "The stars say he was meant for me; but not to worry, you will find someone as well."
D) Ask the producers of FRIENDS to replace her with SHOOSHAN. "You need a movie career right now, FRIENDS is just dragging you down."
At one time, John F. Kennedy Jr. arrived home after a hard day of... whatever he does, to find MADONNA wrapped in NOTHING but plastic wrap.(Star) Thoughts: 1) If he put her in the fridge for later, would Madonna spoil? 2) Do you think JFK Jr has a kitchen cabinet where he keeps all his admiring women for later snacks?
YOUNG WOMEN camp out on OJ SIMPSON's lawn until they get invited inside.(Enquirer ) Thoughts: 1) I express no astonishment that young women everywhere want to flock to OJ's house to make out with the superstar. Instead, I wonder about the mechanics: Do they just go up to his house, ring the doorbell, and say, "We're available?"
2) Do you suppose that OJ's house is like a foreign embassy, with a long line of women snaking around the block, all waiting for entry visas?
3) Do you suppose that OJ has a hunchback deaf-mute butler answer the door while OJ views the visitor from the window, giving a thumbs up or thumbs down?
TERI HATCHER says that she will show the world that she is in such good shape after the have seen her strip NUDE in a new movie.(Star) Thoughts: 1) Such good shape... do you think Teri will be in such good shape that they will show her new film to inmates at the Anorexia Institute?
KELSEY "Frasier" GRAMMAR's girlfriend TAMMI ALEXANDER broke up with him for fooling around. Kelsey�s defense, "They're just babes, they know you're the real love of my life."(Star) 1) The article also said that Kelsey invited Tammi to go with him to strip clubs. Do you think Kelsey would say, "Maybe we can pick up something on the way home that we'll both like."
PRINCESS DI regularly goes to a clinic where she gets a foot massage to relieve nervous tension.(Star) Thoughts: 1) Her feet are nervous?
2) Is Di nervous about working hard at her job, or whether she'll have enough millions to support her family? Or does her nerves center around more important questions, such as "What shall I have for lunch?" and "Should I take these two designer dresses, or all of them?"
SEINFELD uses MEDICINE to GROW his HAIR.(Globe) Thoughts: 1) Just one. How does he explain it to his YOUNG girlfriend SHOSHANNA?
Sho: "Jerry, what is that smelly pink goo you've got in your hair?" Seinfeld: "It's a new sort of shampoo. It, uh, gets rids of dandruff."
2) Do you suppose if there were a machine that could ELECTRICALLY stimulate hair that Seinfeld would stick his head into it? How would he explain it to Shoshanna?
Sho: "Jerry, why do you stick your head into that machine? It looks like a huge electrical socket!" Jerry: "Yes, it sends an electrical current through which... stimulates my mind. It helps me think of jokes for the show, actually."
X-Files Gillian Anderson, whose first boyfriend was a Neo-Nazi, said, "I felt if somebody liked me, I was supposed to sleep with them."(Globe) Thoughts: [Gillian sitting around piles of fan mail, two weeks after this is published] "Dear Gillian, I really like you." [opens next letter] "Dear Gillian, I really like you." [opens next letter] "Dear Gillian, I really like you." Gillian looks around. "Jill? I can't weed out all these letters! Listen, can you go through them and just save the Nazi ones?"
GEORGE CLOONEY was HYPNOTIZED to prepare himself to wear a mask in the next Batman movie.(Globe) Thoughts: 1) Is that REALLY why they hypnotized him? I think they hypnotized him to BELIEVE he REALLY IS Batman. FIVE TOP SIGNS THAT GEORGE CLOONEY HAS BEEN HYPNOTIZED TO REALLY BELIEVE THAT HE IS, IN FACT, BATMAN: 1) He refers to the male nurse on ER as"Robin". 2) He propells down clotheslines. 3) He refers to his movie trailer as "The Bat Cave." 4) He hangs upside down on a coat rack. 5) He goes to a pet store to buy food for Cat Woman.
Beverly Hills 90210's Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, who used to go out with Brian Austin Green, was seen SMOOCHING with Jennie Garth.(Star) Thoughts: 1) For those of you who don't watch the show, Brian plays a wimpy sensitive guy who shaves most of his head and wears large hoop earrings. Do you think Brian turned Tiffani off to men?
2) If Tiffani gets hot for women, will Tori Spelling be safe? Or Brandon's mom?
3) Do you think Shannen Dougherty left the show because Jennie Garth was coming on to her?

My personal favortie is "The Muted Heart"

There was one episode shortly after George got engaged. The "guys" wanted to go see some action movie (I wish I could remember the name). But George was forced to see a "girl" movie they called "The Muted Heart". I thought it was a great made up name for what was clearly supposed to be a "girl" movie. Does anyone remember the name of the "guy" movie.

I think it was "Firestorm" starring Harrison Ford, and there's supposed to be one scene where a helicopter lands on car or something. (the episode was "The Rye", I think)
-Simonfeld
I think the title of the movie the guys were going to see was " Firestorm" with Harrison Ford. Cooper
I want to see PROGNOSIS NEGATIVE!
or even ROCHELLE ROCHELLE
MATTHEW
:)
Geez, how many times did George see Rochelle, Rochelle - He saw it in the theater, rented it - I mean, why would George want to see the story of a young girls erotic journey from Moscow to Minsk?
--Ted Weiman
...
And let's not forget the musical version of Rochelle Rochelle staring Bette Midler ("The Understudy" episode)!
You mean from Milan to Minsk.

Don't forget the musical.

"from Milan to Minsk".
Speaking of "Rochelle Rochelle," I was on a plane recently thumbing through an issue of "The Economist," the high-toned English financial magazine and was reading a piece on why Texans are a lot less concerned about illegal immigration than Californians.
One of the reasons, the author stated, is that the Texas/Mexico border is six times longer than the California/Mexico border, "approximately the distance one would travel from Milan to Minsk."
Boy, "Seinfeld" references turn up in the strangest places!
Don't forget "Ponce De Leon," the movie they saw instead of "Prognosis Negative" the first time they went and it was sold out.
"Rochelle Rochelle, A Young Woman's Erotic Journey from Milan to Minsk." (I think that's the title.) First a movie they unintentionally end up watching, later the Bette Midler (and her Tonya Harding-esque stand-in) Broadway musical.
Minsk."
The play was "Rochelle, Rochelle: The Musical"

Until... Corey
When I saw five messages about movies here, I didn't think I would have anything to add, but everyone left out the movie that they WANTED to see, but ended up seeing Rochelle Rochelle.....
Checkmate!
I didn't see it, but Forget Paris was a real movie, right? Was Beyond Rangoon a real movie also?
