Little known/forgotten TV shows/movies you love

There was a movie named, "Hang Your Hat on the Wind" that saw back in 1969. It was a short Disney flick, but I have never forgotten it. It was a nice little movie. For years I've been trying to find it on some format, but it's not even on YouTube. The only good info is on the Disney Wiki site:

Has anyone else (that is, our senior Aspies) seen or heard of it?
I'm not old enough to know that one. But I did like Tomorrow's World, back in the day.... I don't know why it lost so many views. I thought it was good :) And very interesting

Anyone remember this show from the 70's?

I have a large list of movies I love that have been forgotten by most people.

Romeo is Bleeding
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
The White Ribbon
The Fountain
Henry & June
Lust, Caution
Santa Sangre
David Cronenberg's Crash
Kiss of the Spider Woman
At Close Range
River's Edge
The Thin Red Line
Grizzly Man
Talk Radio
House of Games

Yeah, I have a taste for dark movies, as most of the above list proves.
 
I really liked the 2006 movie A Scanner Darkly, an adaptation of Philip K Dick’s novel of the same name. I don’t really understand why the movie never got much mainstream attention, I thought it was thought-provoking, entertaining and the visual style was very interesting. I could also relate to the scramble suits, it reminded me of the masking I do.
 
As mentioned by one or two people :
Lost in space
Sapphire and Steel
Survivors (haven't finished it yet, but it's awesome)

I also like:
Lexx
Blakes7 (probably big enough in the late 70's and the 80's, but not so much now)
The Comic Strip (by the same group of comedians as the Young Ones)
Bottom

Lexx! Yeah, it was the anti-Trek with Lovecraft and Fellini thrown in.
 
Anyone remember Space Precinct?

For good but forgotten shows I'd recommend the sci-fi Taken. It's like East of Eden meets the X Files.
