The Core thread had me thinking... I really like bad movies. If you looked at my dvd/vhs library, you'd probably see about 5-6 titles that you'd think were absolutely horrible. I understand why you'd think these movies blow, but for some reason, I really enjoy watching them. List of bad movies I love: Pitch Black (Vin Diesel action is cool) Final Destination (Love the death scenes) Armageddon (Love the Effects) Any Paulie Shore movie except for Encino Man (that movie sucked! ) Back From the Past (Alicia Silverstone was hot in this movie) Phantoms (Loved the death scenes, plus I enjoy Rose McGowan) Jason X (Jason looked like Super Shredder towards the end of the movie, which brought up great memories of TMNT, also some of the one-liners were horrible, "What happened to Sanchez?!?!" "He's screwed."...so terrible. Any Leprechaun movie (What an awesome series that was...) So do you guys have any guilty cinematic pleasures? I know rm95 likes terrible movies...
"Battlefield Earth" (aka the original mother of all bombs) I invented so many drinking games with my buddies. caution: don't try this at home unless large quantities of LIQOUR is present.
Maximum Overdrive. The horrible premise, the bad acting, Emolio Esteves, and the AC/DC soundtrack make this movie one of the ultimate cinematic guilty pleasures.
some of those pre-pubescent girly movies like "She's All That," "10 Things I Hate About You," and "Drive Me Crazy." Reminds me of a simpler time in my life... ahh, high school.
ewfd dont be ashamed for enjoying maximum overdrive. thats stephen king. i also like cant hardly wait.
Have you seen this Leprechaun movie? I haven't worked up the guts yet - it's hard to rent movies that make the Blockbuster clerks laugh at you. Other guility cinematic pleasures: Flash Gordon - FLASH! AAH-AAH! HE'LL SAVE EVERYONE OF US!!! I really like the part where he pretends to play football while fighting with Ming's army. Problem Child 1 & 2 - That kid is a hysterically bad actor. He makes the Olsen twins look like Haley Joel Osmant. Barbarella - The movie for which Hanoi Jane should have received her Oscar. Adam Sandler movies - He plays the same character every time - his genius lies in his settings and supporting characters (the old dude, Steve Buscemi). The Golden Child - No real reason. I just like this film.
Ohh Man: Check my dvd list. I have some stinkers that I love. - Last Action Hero (Arnold bombs away) - Armageddon - Nothing But Trouble (Chevy Chase, Demi, Candy, Akroid) - Red Dawn - Wolverines! - Reign of Fire - (umm it was cheap) - Tango & Cash - Demolition Man - maybe not that bad? - The 'Burbs - White Men Can't Jump I like, but don't have these: - Tremors - Deep Impact - Leviathan, Deep Star Six and the Abyss. I like the older Sci-Fi movies like: Logan's Run The Omega Man Solient Green
BGM's a funny guy. 10 Things I Hate About You and Clueless both pop into my mind, as do Deep Impact and Red Dawn. I'll post more when I get home.
I forgot to add some. Iron Eagle Space Camp Look Who's Talking All of the old John Wayne/Clint Eastwood movies. MadMax - I said Red Dawn first, no Wolverine love for me?
dude!!! i must have missed it!!! i'm all about giving red dawn love to ya!!! nothing c. thomas howell and an RPG.
