I hear talk of a new Phantom movie in the works. As I do, many deride the movie made in the 90s starring Billy Zane. Am I one of the few people on this planet that actually liked it?

I think it's greatly underrated--and basically was derided by those people because they didn't understand that the film was an accurate recreation of a 30's B-movie actioner.

I saw it years ago, and I remember liking it quite a bit. But it's been so long, I don't remember much about it. Way off topic - I looked up The Phantom on IMDB, and, clicking through a few links, I discovered that the director, Simon Wincer, once directed an Australian Halloween knock-off. (Well, according to some user comments, it's actually a thriller that was retitled to cash in on the success of Halloween). This is the sort of obscure movie trivia I totally dig.

The Day After Halloween! I love those old trashy Aussie genre films of the 70's and early 80's...prolly why one of them might pop up on this year's 'Obscure Movies' episodes and I'm looking forward to Not Quite Hollywood so much.
