I never heard of any of these except '
Court Jester
'; which is of course a very -well known classic. '
Bugsy Malone
', not sure why you included. Bizarre movie.
The rest of them –as far as I can tell –seem to be all blockbuster-era, Luc/Berg era; which means a lotta people knew about 'em.
It means big advertising budgets and big distribution right down to the $1-$3-$7 DVD bin at the nearest KMart, Walmart, or Target.
My picks for truly lesser-known:
"
Fire Sale
" (Alan Arkin, Rob Reiner)
"
Where's Poppa?
" (George Segal)
"
Harold & Maude
" (Bud Cort)
