TERRIBLE movies you still watch...

[Earth_First]

Wayne's World(I &II) -thank you Circuit City bundle pack!

[Az]

1. Spaced Invaders

Corny, campy, and in no way taking itself seriously. This movie features an alien doing a continuous Jack Nicholson impersonation. Whats not to like.

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. I LOVE that movie

I saw it in the theater and nearly laughed myself stupid.

[Az]

5. Dude, I am telling you

We have to get together for a movie night. You are one of the few that seem to be able to keep up with my odd movie selections.

[BigMcLargehuge]

6. sure sounds like a good idea

:)

[Broken_Hero]

13. same here,

i use to watch that movie all the time...

[LiberalVoice]

31. Jeez, I rememebr watching that movie a hundred times growing up.

lol

Still makes me laugh. :D

[Frozen Hamster]

43. I love that movie

I've got to find a video rental that has it.

[BigMcLargehuge]

2. Reptilicus

Death Machines
Roadhouse
Bloodsport
Kickboxer

[datasuspect]

4. the last starfighter

[billyskank]

87. Greetings Starfighter!

You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Zur and the Ko-Dan armada.
:bounce:

[DrZeeLit]

103. I just bought that one... bundled with Starman.

I haven't watched in years. It's raining and I've got a fire going and popcorn.
So, I say, "Bring on the Kodan Armada!" (that's it, right?)

[Renegade Six]

122. same

[Dave Reynolds]

7. Purple Rain.

The Last Starfighter.

The Car.

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. I like Purple Rain AND Under a Cherry Moon

Last Starfighter was great for the first hour (so I shut it off then and pretend everyone died when the Kodan killed all the other starfighters).

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

18. I thought I was the only person who like " Under The Cherry Moon "

I saw that movie when I was a kid right when it came out - saw it twice at the theaters actually .

[bliss_eternal]

19. Nope--

you're not the only one. I also LOVED Purple Rain. It may have not been 'as bad' had they not edited the crap out of it. There are a few big hunks missing from that film.

I've read the script(found it on-line), and recall scenes shown in the trailer, that didn't make it into the final film.

:(

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

23. I can't even count how many times I have seen " Purple Rain ".

I was 4 when it first came out and I honestly remember going to the movies and seeing it with my mom . The " Purple Rain " album was blasted 24-7 , just thinking about it brings back so many good memories of that time :)

[bliss_eternal]

27. When I saw it at the movies

I had already been playing the album at home. I had every song memorized by the time I saw the film. My friends thought I was nuts. LOL!

You were about my cousin's age when it was released--good times!

[jmm]

50. We must be the same age

I saw it in the theater when I was four too. I have an aunt who thought I'd become a teenage mother and high school drop out because of it so of course when I graduated from college childless I had to rub it in :D.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

119. I am 25 years old now :)

" Purple Rain " was released in 1984 , so yep I was about to turn 4 or already 4 but I clearly remember that movie and all the hype around it along with the " Purple Rain " album :)

[Ryano42]

96. Zan do Zan...

Interstellar Hit-Beast...foul stench...

SO many quotable lines! :)

[MalibuChloe]

8. Xanadu n/t

[bliss_eternal]

20. Me too!

:)

[Clintmax]

44. I freakin' LOVE Xanadu!

The music is great!

[gollygee]

66. I love that too :D

I had the soundtrack when I was a kid and played it over and over and over again :)

[trackfan]

67. Add me to the Xanadu list

[Mad_Dem_X]

94. Me, too - my guiltiest of guilty pleasures!

Gene Kelly's last film; what a way to go!

[Tallison]

10. Mannequin

with Kim Cattral and Andrew McCartney. Why? For the Jefferson Starship.

[LaraMN]

11. As if I could waste my beautiful mind on substandard films. I ONLY watch:

AND

[Az]

12. Because your beautiful mind cannot be bothered with corrections

:D

[LaraMN]

14. Bwahahaa! What the heck is THAT?!

What the heck is in MY post?!:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

35. A broken image

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. I went into labor with my daughter in the middle of Weekend at Bernie's

I, therefore, cannot remember much of that fine film. :hi:

[LostInAnomie]

15. Dolemite

One of the cheesiest blaxploitation movies ever. It was followed by the even cheaper and cheesier sequel titled "The Human Tornado".

[Blue_Tires]

33. Rudy Ray Moore is still the king!!

[LostInAnomie]

37. You ain't lying.

[trackfan]

69. What great acting by the portrayers of Mitchell and White too!

How the Academy passed them up I don't know.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. pretty woman

[slybacon9]

17. You've got mail!

Fuck Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and their perfect little world that i cannot escape.


The best part of the movie is its realism. Big corporate bookstore swallows little local specialty bookstore. Woman loses job. White man laughs at her. She falls in love with him. Brilliant.

[bliss_eternal]

21. Showgirls, as well as...

Buried Alive and Buried Alive 2 (horrible movie that shows late at night on USA)

New Jack City

Sadly, there's probably others I just can't think of right now. But the above are so awful they crack me up!

[hibbing]

22. Road House

What else can I say?

Peace

[HughBeaumont]

51. Oh my God, I just WATCHED Roadhouse last week.

Who the hell makes a movie about extreme barfighting with 600 year old geezer Ben Gazarra as a hardass kingpin? But there I am, watching this damned movie every time.

Marshall Teague is the ultimate macho heel.

Plus Terry "Blood Fountain" Funk is in it!! TERRY FUNK!!!

"Tails Again!"

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

77. I first saw that with a mate

whose Dad had rented it. At the end we both decided it was the greatest movie ever because it had fighting, swearing and tits (we were about 10).

[u4ic]

24. The Burbs

[hibbing]

26. view neighbors

Just a suggestion if you liked that one, check out Neighbors

Peace

[u4ic]

29. I will, hibbing

and welcome to DU! :hi:

[neoteric lefty]

25. Howard the Duck

Ultimate Cheese!

[bliss_eternal]

28. Oh no--

I walked out on that one. I remember being so offended that it was SUCH an awful movie, like they did it on purpose--to me! LOL!

[Az]

36. I had a friend for whom that movie was cause to fight

Good grief he hated that movie. It was a passionate hatred. Bordering on psychotic.

[driver8]

41. But Lea Thompson is so damn cute in that movie!!! n/t

[Taverner]

75. Yes, but I thought she was hotter in Red Dawn

Somthing about being with a guerrilla girl just does it for me ;)

[Hardrada]

30. Ishtar

Basis of our foreign policy.

[bliss_eternal]

32. Never Too Young to Die--

featuring Vanity, John Stamos, and Gene Simmons as some sort of she male. (Seriously, what he did with that role, does not dignify itself with the title 'transvestite.'I can't insult transvestites that way.)

It rarely comes on television. Every blue moon it's on cable, and when it is, I'll watch and laugh myself silly. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

34. The first Wayne's World is a comic masterpiece

Mine would have to be "Dude, Where's My Car?". It's so awful, yet so absurdly hilarious.

[Skittles]

38. Valley of the Dolls

Unbelievable trash; extreme overacting....I never miss it

[Scoots]

39. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was great too.

"It's my happening, and it freaks me out!!"

[Skittles]

55. SCOOTS to this day I have never seen it

I KID YOU NOT

[Eyeball Kid]

58. I heard of a drag queen

who called herself Alabaster Charms.

But I may be losing it.

[Scoots]

40. Clash of the Titans

[slybacon9]

42. wooooow. I can't believe you just said that.

That was my first choice. It's so weird when you catch yourself thinking that you are the only person who could possibly be doing something, and then there is someone else doing it too.

The movie fascinates me and scares me all at once. I even watched it in spanish in a hotel room the other night.

[Clintmax]

45. I LOVE this one too! n/t

[Burma Jones]

54. Count me In for Clash too

What a bad, bad movie. Andromeda is hot though......

[Coventina]

60. Clash of the Titans came out at JUST the right time for me.

I was about 10 or maybe 11. Had always been into fantasy stuff.

I fell in love with that movie HARD!!!

I don't remember what time of year it came out, but it was at the budget theatre all summer. $.50 admission for a matinee. I must have seen it 20 times.

I realize now that it was pretty lame, but it still brings back happy memories to watch it.

[VelmaD]

91. Here's an embarassing personal revelation...

I own the novelization of Clash of the Titans...in a hardback. :blush:

[Scoots]

107. I had the hardback kids version when I was young

I was 5 when the movie came out. I sold the book at some school yard sale thing in 2nd grade.

I still have the original hardcover novel of Battlestar Galactica.

[VelmaD]

109. I have the hardback version...

of Star Wars including prodiction stills that came out before the original movie. Got it at Half Price for 5 bucks.

I collect novelizations of scifi and fantasy movies. Particularly the bad ones. :)

[Frozen Hamster]

46. Omega Doom

Such utter crap I can't stop watching it.

[BigMcLargehuge]

53. you can get the same crap-vibe from ANY film by Master Director

Albert Pyun. If you haven't subjected yourself to his dismal Captain America, you should.

[Frozen Hamster]

120. I would if I could

but seeing that I live on an island in the middle of nowhere, the video stores have a rather limited variety of older movies. Althoug I know a couble of stores who have the entire Ed Woods collection so they might have Captain America.

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. I admit....Pretty In Pink...I can't help myself. And I will say Gone With

The Wind, because so many here think it sucks. I loved that movie. Lots of memories of watching it with family every year at Thanksgiving. :hi:

[fleabert]

49. mars attacks.

i love it, but it's horrible. horribly funny!

[peekaloo]

63. Slim Whitman saves the world!

:rofl:

I like it, too.

[kwassa]

52. 55 Days in Peking

Charleton Heston strutting around Peking during the Boxer Rebellion

I am a sucker for historical spectacles, no matter how false. Casts of thousands!

[jojog]

56. Hunt for Red October

[Shell Beau]

57. My husband always watches Pooty-Tang (sp?)

when it comes on. I have only seen pieces of it, but I am guessing it is pretty terrible.

[ProfessorGAC]

59. The One & Only: Roadhouse

Totally unwatchable schlock that i just can't miss! I watch it every time i see that it's on.
The Professor

[Ravenseye]

62. As Squiggy would say

It's got sex and it's got violence. It's got sex and violence and it's got violence and sex. It's got sexy violence, and it's got violency sex.

[GOPisEvil]

79. The Official Bad Movie of the Lounge.

Pain don't hurt.

[jane_pippin]

61. Teen Wolf Too

Starring one Jason Bateman, by the way. If you haven't seen it or it's been decades since, do yourself a favor and pick up this charming yet forgotten gem. Rent the first one too so you can watch them back to back and get the full effect of Teen Wolf Too's terrible glory. There's a frog fight, a dance sequence or two, plenty of memorable lines ("All I want to do is study hard and be a veterinarian!"), and a little life lesson too.

AND the best worst movie ever, "Can't Stop the Music," the story of the Village People starring Steve Guttenberg and featuring an absolutely moving rendition of "Danny Boy" by Leather man--a stripped down moment in a movie chock full of elaborate and befuddling song and dance numbers.

I also have a few Lifetime movies I never miss:
"Fifteen and Pregnant"--starring Kirsten Dunst
"Woman on the Run: The Lawrencia Bembenak (sp?) Story"--Ah, the sordid story of a local girl in Lifetime Movie form. How could I resist?
"Her Final Fury: The Betty Broderick Story"--Meredith Baxter goes bat shit crazy. It also has a part one that's about 3 hours long but I forget the name.

*sigh* I love terrible movies. They make me laugh like nothing else.

[Fenris]

64. Urban Cowboy. Overboard. Road House.

[RayOfHope]

118. We've got Urban Cowboy on DVD

and watch that sucker all the time.

[LostinVA]

65. Overboard........ every time it come on!

[Mad_Dem_X]

98. "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay...

my, oh my, I got a wonderful slave!"

[flvegan]

68. Smokey and the Bandit (I and II)

Gleason...absolutely terrific.

Bandit...you sumbitch!

[no name no slogan]

70. Jackass: The Movie

Stupidest inane crap. The show also cracks me up.

[Loonman]

90. Golf Course Air Horn

Wasabi Snort
Ass Kicked by a Girl
Fireworks Wake Up

I could watch that over and over again.

[Rising Phoenix]

71. Teen Witch

[Shell Beau]

72. I used to love that movie!

That is the one where the girl finds out she is a witch (red curly hair)?

[Rising Phoenix]

73. yup

and it had that killer sound track

I like boys...
I want to be the most popular girl...

killer

[Taverner]

74. Red Dawn

YES I ADMIT IT!!!!

[m_welby]

76. Flash Gordon

Flash! Ahhhhh!

That waas the worst soundtrack ever!

Oh, and the unforgettable Barbarella!!

[VelmaD]

97. Hey now...no bad-mouthing...

the Flash Gordon soundtrack. Queen RAWKS!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

78. Freddy got Fingered

and recently I've become quite attatched to 'Slumber Party Massacre'. One I'm crying out to get on DVD that I used to obsess over is 'The Garbage Pail Kids Movie'.

btw, 'Wayne's World' 1 & 2 are magnificent films. 'Austin Powers: Goldmember' is, however, one that Myers should have best left unmade.

[quiet.american]

80. McQ

I love cheesy '70's movies!

[bigwillq]

81. Point Break

Or anything else with Keanu Reeves in it b/c he's cool, not to mention a cutie!

[bertha katzenengel]

82. If I could get away with it, "Road House" -- but

I feel guilty being entertained by violent, hedonistic, sexist films with Mrs. V. in my life.

[driver8]

123. Road House is one of my guilty pleasures, also.

I try not to let that movie suck me in...but in the end it gets me everytime.

[bertha katzenengel]

124. I think that one has a lot of fans among Lounge Lizards

many of them women. :shrug:

[NoPasaran]

83. Major League

[TallahasseeGrannie]

84. Volcano

[Frozen Hamster]

121. Ah yes, a film about man overcoming the elements.

Of course, since stopping a volcano is about as possible as filling congress with honest men, science was thrown right out the window.

[Jed Dilligan]

85. My Andy Sidaris boxed set

Malibu Express
Hard Ticket to Hawaii
Picasso Trigger
Savage Beach
Enemy Gold
Guns

[ceile]

86. Jumpin' Jack Flash n/t

[billyskank]

88. Was that terrible?

Last time I watched it, I liked it. But then I was quite young...

[Loonman]

89. Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead

Well written, believable, funny. Christina Applegate's 2nd feature film after the indie film "Streets".

[WCGreen]

92. The Fountainhead

[VelmaD]

93. Krull

Young Ken Marshall in tight spandex pants. Yumm. And it has Liam Neeson in it...though he doesn't have much in the way of lines. Nice eye candy though.

[indigo32]

95. Maximum Overdrive

Tank Girl
Fifth Element
Revenge of the Nerds

I'm sure there are more

[MrsMatt]

99. Lair of the White Worm

The Wicker Man (the 70s version)

Naked Lunch

edited to provide clairfication re: the Wicker Man

[indigo32]

100. was Wicker Man terrible?

I thought it was rather interesting, and horrifying

[MrsMatt]

101. production values are cheesy n/y

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

106. Seconded,

it's one of my favorite British horrors & I'm dreading the Nic Cage remake.

[DS1]

102. Flash Gordon, and if I could find it, I'd like to watch Megaforce again

:rofl:

[no name no slogan]

105. Megaforce!!!

Before he was the Mayor, Barry Bostwick led an elite, motorcycle-driving, gold-lamé jumpsuit-wearing post-apocalyptic fighting force whose motto was "DEEDS NOT WORDS".

Not to mention the catchy theme song by 707, and you had a classic on your hands.

[DS1]

111. Did you catch the Megamatcom photoshop?

[no name no slogan]

113. I've seen that-- fecking awesome!

Here comes matcom to save the day!

[DS1]

114. If only his Scooter had ballistic rockets he could launch while

pulling a wheelie.

Oh well, I guess he's gotta start somewhere

[no name no slogan]

117. If it did, it would be da bomb at rush hour

take THAT, tailgaters

[DrZeeLit]

104. One Fine Day

Okay, so I like the banter.
Sue me.

(I'm currently into 30's-40's screwball comedies, like anything with Carole Lombard, Myrna Loy, Jean Arthur, Katharine Hepburn -- like Bringing Up Baby and others-- oh, and my fav, Rosalind Russel, for example in His Girl Friday... terrific banter!)

[CatholicEdHead]

108. Hot Shots

[libodem]

110. Polyester

a John Waters film...it's so stupid and badly acted I watch it about once a year.

[Hatalles]

112. Speed!

Starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock!

I can't help it... it just pulls me in every time!

[AccessGranted]

115. Starship Troopers and Mars Attacks

Hehehe

[slybacon9]

116. The Dark Crystal mofos

Dark


Crystal


Rules.

[Lisa]

125. DC 9/11 (the Bush propaganda movie)

The plot and dialogue are so mind-numbingly bad! If the best dramatic moment they could come up with was Bush using his teeth to uncap a Sharpie marker -- even I could have suggested better ways to make Dubya look brave and competent. Considering all the advantages they had (access to the President and his top advisors, approval of the administration), they really blew this.

The commentary on the DVD is actually kind of funny (Timothy Bottoms, who played Bush, musing about what might have caused a painful rash he had during the filming). If not for the nauseating torrent of self-promotion by the producer, I would have actually made it all the way through to the end.

[WeRQ4U]

126. Big Trouble in Little China

I've always liked that movie.
