Interesting guess, although there was never a 5 1/2 Weeks movie.

At least I know who the interdimensional traveler is. ("Lost in a world he never made" was the comic-book tagline.) The European country part escapes me. Does that title come first?

Ok. It's got a lot of detail, so I was confused at first. It sounds like 3 movies or shows because "Big Trouble in Little China" is that kind of movie. While humming the theme song, I was eventual

The first part is probably "Groundhog Day." but I'm not getting the old sci-fi flick.

Well, you're halfway there. I figured, since I'd heard of the old movie despite
never seeing it, you guys would know it at least as well.
It had a tv series in 1981 and another in 2009 as well as the movie, and the book they
were all based on (I didn't know there was a book....) There were even radio dramas,
which makes sense since the book was out in the 50s and the BBC does radio dramas
even now, AFAIK, but that usually makes me think 1940s. Not a clue, just me musing.
Someone's floating the idea of a 3D version for theaters now, so it's not like this
is THE most obscure movie out there.
I guarantee the linking word is NOT a type of animal (nor part of the name of a
type of animal, that wasn't a trick.)

That's it.
Margaret Dumond was the actress who worked in a lot of Marx Brothers movies.
Some people dubbed her "the fourth Marx Brother."
Some people have short memories.
I understand they didn't know Gummo, who was never in the movies, just the stage-act,
but Zeppo was in several movies, the last of which is this one.
This before-and-after actually links 2 movies that bombed.
Duck Soup wasn't popular until decades later, when college students began
screening it while protesting the Vietnam War. It's possibly the purest
Marx Brothers movie, which makes it the zaniest- not everyone likes their comedies
that madcap. This movie, when released, did poorly enough that Zeppo considered
this the right time to leave show business, so it's the last one to feature
the original 4.

A lot of what I do watch is syndicated to different networks than when they're airing
where you are. And SyFy doesn't air exactly the same stuff. And some of it lacks
SAP so I can't watch it that way.

I actually would have had a shot at remembering "Warehouse 13"
(you've mentioned it before). "13 Ghosts" was a 1960 movie that had
a REMAKE in 2001. If you'd mentioned that, I would have remembered a
few movies that were remade around that time, that among them.
