Duane Thomas Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 This topic has made me think. I'm really not embarrassed by any of the movies I like. Now, there are other people who might think I should be embarrassed but I feel I can make a valid case for every movie I like - even those that other people deride. Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...&s=dvd&n=507846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Bad(der) Santa comes to mind ---- but I laughed myself silly watching it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Some of the stunts they pulled in Wild, Wild West were so hiliarious I watched the damn' thing twice. Kind of a cross between Star Wars, Blazing Saddles and Ghostbusters... or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sargenv Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Well, I may as well chime in with 2 obscure movies.... at least they are obscure to me.. Post Apocalypse done with hokie special effects, large spiders, and a really cool RV.. Damnation Alley And Gene Simmons as a terrorist opposite Tom Selleck in... Runaway I've seen neither of these movies for a very long time.. The second one is on dvd, the first one however is not on DVD and can be found now and then on VHS for sale. If I caught them on late night I think I'd watch them again just because it's been so long.. lol Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Here's another one: Never On Tuesday Obscure 80's film (I can't find it on sale ) starring a young Claudia Christian (later in one of the Star Trek -esque TV shows...can't remember the title), Andrew Lauer and Peter Berg. Absolutely hilarious film with cameos from Gilbert Gottfried, Nicholas Cage, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. To call it a 'B' movie is a bit generous, but absolutely a hilarious 'beer and pizza' movie. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 starring a young Claudia Christian (later in one of the Star Trek -esque TV shows...can't remember the title) Babylon Five. BTW if you like "young Claudia Christian," you've GOT to see The Hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Don't have the original French Barbarella comics. (I can't have everything in comic books, you know, I only own, like, 20,000 of the things.) OTOH there was a really rather good 4-issue mini-series based on the movie Galaxina. I'm missing issue #4. If anyone out there has one they'd like to get rid of.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Thinking about this, I have to add two more to the list, opposites and for different reasons: Moulon Rouge. Its so over-the-top exhuberant it can be embarassing. Bright, colorful, and the scenery ain't bad, either. Red Dawn. So earnest. So obvious. So far off what would actually happen as far as history was concerned. And yet, what would I do with Soviet paratroopers drifting down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 "Days of Thunder". It's your typical Bruckheimer/Simpson over the top, low plot film w/ bad dialogue. And I hate NASCAR. Yet every time it comes on TNT or TBS, it calls to me and I have to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 "Days of Thunder" I've always clled that Top Gun II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Just not nearly as good as Top Gun. Days of Thunder is probably the worst movie Tom Cruise has ever been in - certainly of those I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Say Anything was okay. Not the best Cameron Crowe by any means, but certainly decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyB Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Say Anything was okay. Not the best Cameron Crowe by any means, but certainly decent. I know, but I can't watch it without it bringing a tear to my eye, especially when he's stood on top of the car holding the tape player. Guess I'm just a sentimental old fool.

ErikW Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Kickboxing... sport of the future... Don the Dragon Wilson... ever heard of it? I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed... or buy anything sold or processed... or process anything sold, bought or processed... or repair anything sold, bought or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBaneACP Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Duane... I think SAY ANYTHING is indeed the best Cameron Crowe... I love where the three guys are sitting on the curb in front of the 7-11 on a Saturday nite giving love advice to the lovelorn John Cusack. He asks why they're sitting on a curb instead of out on a date..."By choice, man." Great line. Last night I ground through OPEN RANGE again just to watch Kevin Costner shoot that smug gunfighter iin the head. MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I think SAY ANYTHING is indeed the best Cameron Crowe... For me it's Almost Famous. When William loses his virginity to three girls, then the next morning gets treated like a servant, obviously he meant nothing to them but a night's fun, then the interview he can't get blows him off - again - he's miles from home, alone, confused, scared, overwhelmed, used and abused, and he sits in the hotel corridor and begins to cry....God, I was dying right along with him. I felt for that kid. It's the sort of moment that gets down inside your guts and twists that only the best of filmmakers could ever pull off.

Patrick Sweeney Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I just remembered another one.... Starship Troopers. It's so cheesy, and again earnest, and over the top. Denise Richards is definite eye candy, but a ship pilot? I think not. If it wasn't such a waste of Heinlien, I'd like it a lot more, but I like it. My wife even makes fun of me, but I like it. And who thought Mini-14s in bullpup plastic stocks would be suitable hi-tech bug-killing weapons? They would have done better just borrowing the M-40 pulse rifles from Aliens.
