It's the "Citizen Kane" of the Duck-From-Outer-Space genre...

[fNord]

9. how could I have forgotten Howard the Duck!

[gmoney]

15. What was Howard the Duck's middle name?

"The"

which is why he kept on killing people.

[WolverineDG]

[pokerfan]

4. Tommy Boy

[Drunken Irishman]

27. Was that really considered sucky, though?

[pokerfan]

35. Reviews were mostly negative

"No one is funny in "Tommy Boy." There are no memorable lines. None of the characters is interesting except for the enigmatic figure played by Rob Lowe, who seems to have wandered over from 'Hamlet.' Judging by the evidence on the screen, the movie got a green light before a usable screenplay had been prepared, with everybody reassuring each other that since they were such funny people, inspiration would overcome them." Roger Ebert

I still enjoyed it.

[Common Sense Party]

81. Ebert's a dick

[kid a]

5. talladega nights

[JonLP24]

43. Was that really considered a 'sucky' movie?

I thought it was wildly funny and great. I was in the Army around the time the movie came out and there was no other movie when it came to lines most often repeated. "If you ain't first, you're last."

[CBGLuthier]

53. Very sucky.

That was the next to last Will Ferrell movie I watched. Bewitched was the last. Will Farrell is not funny.

[JonLP24]

56. I'd recommend "Stranger than Fiction"

If you seen it and didn't like it I guess to each is own or whatever the phrase is. There is a reason I don't use it because I don't know it but before I quit Ferrell I'd see that movie. Anyways this a thread of 'sucky' moves that we consider classics :P

[gmoney]

78. Agreed

Semi-Pro and Stepbrothers were both dreadful... I was desperately looking for something to cheer me up, but I was actually MORE depressed after watching those two. Talledega wasn't any better.

[EOTE]

85. I thought Step Brothers was hilarious.

Mostly due to John C. Reilly's inspired performance, but I still laughed my ass off. But yeah, Semi-Pro kinda sucked. My favorite Will Farrel movie to this day remains Anchorman, seems almost written specifically for him. I know that Will Farrel has been in a lot of crap (I didn't bother to see Land of the Lost after hearing the early reviews) and wouldn't see Bewitched either, but occasionally he can be in some very funny stuff.

[driver8]

6. So I Married An Axe Murderer.

This movie is so freakin' funny!!

[GoCubsGo]

8. I agree

Definitely underrated!

[Orrex]

21. The beat poetry segments are awesome

[Shell Beau]

71. They are!!

Those are my favorite parts of the movie.

[BrklynLiberal]

37. It sure had its moments!!

[peekaloo]

48. "I'm smitten. I'm in deep smit"

My favorite Mike Myers movie. The rant about that kid's big head still makes me :rofl: "it's practically planetoid".

[driver8]

50. "Heed! Paper! Now!"

"Move that gargantuan noggin...if ya can!"

There is a guy at work who now has the nickname "Heed" because of this movie...

[MattBaggins]

7. Canadian Bacon

[BrklynLiberal]

38. CLASSIC MOVIE!!! Hysterically funny.

[JonLP24]

44. One of the funniest movies I've seen

[Tommy_Carcetti]

63. "R.J. Hacker has bought the farm, E-I-E-I-O!"

Canadian Bacon is hilarious. Seriously underrated.

[Kali]

10. Dark Star

not really that sucky but it IS a classic!
Repo Man too.

[Tobin S.]

11. Hahaha. I was going to say "They Live" as well. Great "bad" movie

The director has said that the movie was a metaphor for the Reagan years.

[fNord]

13. It had such a great plot......

but the writing, the acting, the casting (Rowdy Roddy Piper?) just fucked it all up.

still a great flick though:popcorn:

[Orrex]

20. Have you read the original short story?

It's quite brief, but the film is remarkably faithful to it, even if it expands on aspects of it. For instance, the short story doesn't include a half-hour fistfight!

[fNord]

31. that really sucked....

and so did "I came here to Chew Bubble gum and kick ass.....and I'm all out of bubble gum"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_K8prLfso

But I still laugh every time I see it :rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

14. Road House

RIP Patrick Swayze and Jeff Healey.

[driver8]

51. It I am channel surfing, and "Road House" is on -- I'm watching it.

It doesn't matter that I've seen it twenty times or what time of day it is -- I get sucked in every time!

[name not needed]

70. I used to fuck guys like you in prison.

[Jade Fox]

16. "More American Graffiti'

I liked it a lot better than than 'American Graffiti'.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079576/

[fNord]

17. I'll have to check that out..

alot of the original people came back for that one......

I always thought Happy Days was the sequel to American Graffiti

[Jade Fox]

22. "More...." follows the characters into the late '60s.....

and comes up with some pretty interesting scenarios.

[gmoney]

74. oof... just watched them both, and I gotta disagree.

the first one had some real poignancy to it (the scene with Cindy Williams and Ron Howard slow dancing to "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" alone redeems the movie), mixed in with some pretty funny stuff and perfect use of music.

the second one was four bad stories that add up to nothing... possibly worse than the Star Wars prequels.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. Howard the Duck.

LOVED IT.

http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827/1d/www.space.com/images/v_howard_duck_01,1.jpg

[Orrex]

19. Holy moley what's wrong with you?

Even George Lucas knew that Howard the Duck was a big, stinking pile. When George "I love Jar Jar" Lucas disowns something, you know that it sucks!

[Drunken Irishman]

24. Hence the thread and my post.

I like it. It was a childhood favorite of mine that carried over.

Granted, I've only seen it once in 15 or so years (a few years ago), but it's apart of me!

BACK OFF!

;)

[Orrex]

25. I'm trying to help you!

You're among friends! No one wants to see you go down that dark and twisted path!

[Drunken Irishman]

26. I went down there loooong ago.

haha

I love it. Maybe it's me clinging to my past...I don't know.

But it's a movie I can enjoy watching.

[Orrex]

28. Well, the demons at the end are pretty cool

Beyond that...

[Drunken Irishman]

30. You're telling me you didn't enjoy the naked female duck?

[Orrex]

32. That's what I'm telling you.

[Drunken Irishman]

33. You're a crazyrex.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

45. I went to see it twice (on consecutive days) in the theaters

And I own it on DVD.

Just came out last March, and in the extra section, the director is talking about how the film has a cult following -- hence the DVD release.

You're not alone.

[Vidar]

90. I enjoyed the movie & loved the female star.

[gratuitous]

23. Ishtar

As a review said when it came out on video: You may wonder how they spent $47 million (an astronomical sum at the time) on this - does it have $47 million worth of laughs? No, but what do you care, it's not your money.

[ChicagoSuz219]

39. The music scenes are priceless!! The spy ones not so much... nt

[gmoney]

75. +1

Yeah, their version of "Little Darlin'" is just too priceless, plus their "songwriting process" stuff was tremendous.

Could have been a great movie if they'd turned down the gig in the middle east and kept struggling as songwriters in NYC.

"Man, you sure know the lingo..."

[ChicagoSuz219]

88. Remember when Dustin is laying in the desert, and...

...the vultures are circling? "They're here on spec?" LOL

And, the auction scene in the desert is brilliant, too!

[ChicagoSuz219]

40. The music scenes are priceless!! The spy ones not so much... nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. American Strays

[Blue_Tires]

34. Flash Gordon...the very definition of campy and over-the-top

full of the most un-subtle of sexual imagery and without a doubt the most BADASS soundtrack of any movie to ever grace mortal ears...

[BrklynLiberal]

36. I LOVED "The Wraith"!! My nomination starred Charlie's brother..

"The Repo Man"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087995/

[Tabasco_Dave]

41. The Road To Wellville

[AsahinaKimi]

42. The Hunt for Red October..

I heard people say that it sucked.. I just loved it.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvqyosmPaoE

[charlie and algernon]

47. I didn't know that people thought it sucked

I love it too and will watch it whenever it's on TV.

[TZ]

46. Xanadu

I love the music in it...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

62. Only you, TZ.

:)

[Mad_Dem_X]

79. The music is awesome

The film itself is so bad, it's good.

[peekaloo]

49. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. (okay maybe not classic)

[Bucky]

54. Also Joe Dirt. The movie ended up sucking, but the character was interesting.

David Spade is always worth watching, except when he's saddled with Chris Farley. When Chris Farley died of a drug overdose, it was like God answering my prayers.

[peekaloo]

57. that song by former child stars at the end of DR

is a classic!

never ever found CF funny.

[nuxvomica]

52. The Oscar (1966)

A star-studded cast tells the story of a sleazy movie star who is unexepectedly nominated for Best Actor. Half of Hollywood was in this epic and it is so corny and overdone that it's worth watching once.

Here's the tagline to give you a taste:

"This is the story of...The Dreamers and The Schemers...The Hustlers and The Hopefuls...The Free-loaders and The Phonies...The Fakers and The Famous...All Fighting for the Highest Possible Award!!"

You think the Nobel Peace Prize is a big deal? The Best Actor Oscar is the "Highest Possible Award!!"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060801/

[Mad_Dem_X]

80. I've been dying to see this

ever since I read about it in "Bad Movies We Love."

[valerief]

84. self-delete; posted to wrong section

[Bucky]

55. Not considered "sucky", just overrated. But I thought "The Right Stuff" was brilliant & beautiful.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

60. Overrated or Underrated?

The Right Stuff is a true classic. One of my all time favorite movies.

[Bucky]

67. No, I'm saying it's considered over-rated, or rather over-done, and in that it is under-rated.

Have I confused you better now?

[Deep13]

58. Frankenhooker.

A barrel of rubber legs, a pimp named Zorro, super crack and do-it-yourself brain surgery. What's not to like?

[Bertha Venation]

59. My dad loved "Ishtar" because he'd worked in the UAE for years.

He said the reasons Americans hated that movie is because there were too many jokes that only Middle Easterners and those who'd spent time there would get.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

61. Waterworld, Joe vs. the Volcano

Waterworld is just a plain fun, enjoyable movie.

Joe vs. the Volcano is a sweet movie with a nice message.

[Doc_Technical]

65. Joe vs. the Volcano.

One of my favorite movie scenes is the
opening scene of this movie showing Joe
and the rest of the employees dragging
their asses going to work with the song
"16 Tons" being played while the opening
credits are being shown.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOaMeq7HQwE

[Tommy_Carcetti]

66. "I know he can GET the job, but can he DO the job?"

"I'm not arguing that with you....I'm not arguing that with you!"

Great scene.

[gmoney]

76. Yeah, it's really underrated.

Nice use of motifs throughout.

[cleveramerican]

92. All rhythm has been bred from my people...LOL!!!

comes up every time somebody in my family dances.

[Twillig]

73. One of the greates line-- in any movie, but was in Waterworld, is:

"Oh, Thank God." given the situation the speaker of said line was in.

That poor guy.

Somebody put up a YT tribute to it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzZ34T4ynZA

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

64. They Live - one of the all-time classic movie lines

"I came here to chew bubblegum and kick some ass - and I'm all outta bubblegum."

[Tikki]

69. "Night Of The Comet" (1984) and "Slam Dance (1987)...

"Streets Of Fire" (1984)...the Penelope Spheeris trilogy:
"Suburbia" (1984),"Boys Next Door" (1985) and "Hollywood Vice Squad" (1986)

Tikki

[DerBeppo]

72. Hudson Hawk

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102070/

[gmoney]

77. Agreed

I admit to enjoying the robbery timed to "Swingin' on a Star" near the start of the movie. And Richard E Grant's scenery chewing is pretty priceless.

If they'd gotten someone besides Danny Aiello, I think that would have been a BIG help. Who? I'm not sure. Just not Joe Mantegna either.

[valerief]

82. Torch Song. Flamingo Road. Harriet Craig. All Joan Crawford classics. nt

[valerief]

83. Any Ed Wood movie. Glen or Glenda. Plan Nine from Outer Space.

:thumbsup:

[valerief]

86. Valley of the Dolls. Ash Wednesday (with Liz Taylor). Roller Boogie.

I have these posters on my walls right now, too.

[msanthrope]

87. Death to Smoochy--Ed Norton, Robin Williams, John Stewart, Catherine Keener...

Great Cast, and hysterically funny....

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266452/

"My Stepfather's Not Mean He's Just Adjusting."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8dPa2S4vL0

[Godhumor]

89. "Soldier" starring Kurt Russell

I love that movie and always will.

[cleveramerican]

91. "Bob Roberts"

I can do dialog from it

very few other humans have even seen it.

[Sky Masterson]

93. The Party Animal(1984)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087889/


the Party Animal is a documentary-style comedy about a sex-starved male, Pondo Sinatra, a 26-year-old college student whom everyone agrees is doomed to die a virgin. Desperate to break what seems to be a cosmic curse, he tries ever more bizarre schemes to seduce one the sexy, scantily-clad women who seem to be everywhere, taunting him and enjoying his misery. Despite his best efforts, however, he is rejected everywhere, even at the local cathouse. When Pondo threatens to kill himself, Studley, his ladykilling best friend, tries to help him in his quest to "get him a little", as does Studley's mentor, a wise old janitor named Elbow. The attempts include: a Cyrano de Bergerac-type seduction whereby Studley tells Pondo what to say to a girl via a remote microphone; sending Pondo to buy elegant new clothes (he goes to the Punk store by mistake and leaves looking like Quasimodo); taking massive quantities of drugs because "girls love drugs"; and using the world's biggest vibrater, the Moby-M5 (the M-5 episode provides a pretext for a scene where two porn store employees discuss strategic arms limitation treaties, using various dildos as props).
After one of these painfully funny dating debacles, Pondo frightens Studley by shouting: I'D SELL MY SOUL FOR A PIECE OF ASS! A nearby goddess (Suzanne Ashley)– a mysterious woman who has been observing Pondo's struggles for some time– hears his cry and cryptically acknowledges it. Some time afterward, Pondo accidentally creates a chemical compound that makes him irresistible to women. At first he revels in his new "party animal" prowess
