Police Academy X: Urbies on Patrol - What could this one possibly be about?

Teen Timber Wolf - Young wannabe ’Mech jock on the margins of his peer group demands acceptance through superior firepower.

Teen Timber Wolf Too - Prematurely nostalgic rehash of Teen Timber Wolf written by studio owner's nephew during IS Entertainment Guild writers' strike of 3141.

Don't forget Teen Timber Wolf:  The Series.  Made well after most people who'd seen the movies were too old to care about a teen drama featuring a Timber Wolf pilot.  But that doesn't really matter, because it has nothing to do with the movies, and is generally considered far superior.

Throw Mamma From The Airlock - Documentary; progressive-thinking Periphery Pirates and their take on end-of-life care.

Lyran Graffiti - Overrated and cheeky coming-of-age tale about spoiled, insanely rich teenagers who repeatedly wreck ’Mechs and Aerospace Fighters that they should not even be allowed to look at, let alone pilot in illegal races that would get most common folk thrown into the mines.

Plan Nine From The Kerensky Cluster - Hailed as the Worst Movie of All Time, this film also boasts a cult following the size of large Periphery nations.  FUN FACT!:  This film has never been finished by anyone who started it, though many exaggeratedly claim to watch it at least once per year.

Thanks.  I bumped it to the top because it sounded cool.  O0

And everyone loves Smoke Jaguar stories, whether they know and appreciate it or not.  And it would have to be a Kuritan, or perhaps someone from the doomed FRR for our protagonist.

Everything is Awesome! - Lego BattleTech movie, because you never know if it will one day happen.

Capellan Police State Academy: UrbanMechs on Patrol - See title.  Largely a Davion propaganda film cloaked as a factually loose comedy.

The Angry Bones - Revenants of the victims of Kali Liao conspire and aid her many foes across the rimward Inner Sphere in eventually toppling her and her lover, Cameron St. Jamais.
