It’s SHIT. You love it ANYWAY.

Lol not tits l shit, TOTAL shit.

White Oleander

All three "Thor" movies.

What can I say! Those movies have a gorgeous stupid hunk, a gay bitch I can identify with, CGI aliens and fight scenes, and some of the dumbest dialogue ever written. I love them, particularly the last one, with its fighting robots from New Zealand and Cate Blanchette chewing the scenery of Asgard.

Coyote Ugly. Oh boy, that movie is so cringe-worthy and it's obvious that it was made by a bunch of sleazy str8 guys, but I end up watching it everytime it's on TV. It's like a PG version of Showgirls made for horny 12-year old boys.

I love them too r3, at least the first and the third. I had a hard time getting into the second one.

Matrix II and III - cash grabs with delightful FX

Golden Compass - a bad treatment of YA material, but it has Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman as assholes

Big Business

"enjoy it for what it is despite it’s being simmering armadillo feces. "

enjoy it for what it is despite its being simmering armadillo feces.

It's. Its. It's. Its.

OP is a dumb shit.

R8, I actually love AVP: Alien vs Predator. It's probably the best in the series for me, although Predator 2 is close to it. I don't even remember what the original Predator is like but I vaguely remember not liking it.

When I was younger I loved watching The Bodyguard when I was feeling a bit down. I was lusting heavily after Kevin Costner at the time which mostly explains it. Aliens was another comfort movie. I know people think it's the most awesome thing ever but I always thought it's quite trashy. Next to Alien it certainly is.

Magic Mike. It's so cheesy and stupid but I just can't turn it off.

The Apple. Jaw dropping bad.

One of the most awful films I have ever seen..and I still can't stop watching!

Closer talk about sappy breeder drama. It even made me weep once when I was very drunk.

And talk about shit dialogue...

MAGIC MIKE looks Shavian in its sophistication by comparison with the sequel, MAGIC MIKE XXL.

Now THIS is the shit...

Even the plot of Magic Mike XXL is more ridiculous.

I have to admit, "Magic Mike XXL" is something I turn on when I have nothing better to watch. The stupid plot is easy to ignore, I just look up from whatever I'm doing when the hunks start dancing.

Good choice!

I'll admit to actually liking Kevin Costner's "Waterworld". Could it have been better? Yes - but I don't think it's as bad as many people make it out to be.

None worse (or better).

Soapdish For Pete's Sake

Somewhere in Time, the weepy shitfest with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Roger Ebert eviscerated it, but damn if I don't love it ANYWAY!

THE 13TH FLOOR

FUN FACT: Can’t Stop the Music starring; Bruce (Caitlin) Jenner, the Village People, and the Divine Petrine - was the directorial debut/ finale of Nancy Walker (aka Ida Morgenstern.). I got chills just typing that.

Not shit, but close ...

Steel Magnolias

Eat, Pray, Love. I know exactly what level of unacceptability it is at, yet I will watch it whenever it is aired and I have no idea why.

*ducks and hides*

St Elmos Fire

Oh ... I thought this was another rimming thread.

'Road House' owns this thread.

"The Mummy", the one with Brendan Fraser.

How High. I miss having friends who get all the references I make to this movie.

Another vote for Grease 2

Striptease. God help me.

Staying Alive. I cherish it.

The Glass House. Stellan S is soooo hot. He supposed to be menacing to Lee Lee Sobieski, but she looks like a tough dyke linebacker. You ending up worrying for him!

WHERE DOES THE POLLEN GO!

"Chef", the brainchild of Jon Favreau, in which his fat slob of a character who cooks outdated chow is married to Sofia Vergara, and Scarlett Johanssen is his side piece. Dustin Hoffman is completely shitfaced and slurring through all of his scenes. John Leguiziamo pats his testicles down with cornstarch as Jon's underage son calmly looks on. Oliver Platt is just barely able to keep from rolling his eyes during his screen time. I could go on and on with spoilers but you have to see it to believe it.

It is the most 80s movie made in the 2010s and I have seen it at least fifteen times.

The Madonna movie, Who's That Girl

"Hulk" The Eric Bana version. I love love love that movie but am told that it is complete crap. Coulda' fooled me!

Death Becomes Her....

[quote]It's. Its. It's. Its.

Its not so obvious anymore whose making those mistakes because of grammatical ignorance and whose just not noticing autocorrect "fixes." Were really not sure -- we're it easier, we wouldn't have these problems.

R26 stole my answers.

Country Strong.

I'm guessing the new Rampage movie will fall into this category. I'm a real sucker for crappy scifi and giant monster movies.

THE BABY (1973)

THE BABY (1973) - oops, forgot....

R43 I’ve watched that movie so many times I know every line in it. It so deliciously bad and bitchy!

There's only one thing wrong with the Davis baby ....

I am ashamed to say it but Tommy Boy.

Midnight Madness. One of my favorites.

Don't we ashamed, r52. Girls, girls, we're all assholes!

The Rock. Nicolas Cage's finest hour.

r49 my favorite movie!

St. Elmo's Fire (1985)

Persona, by Ingmar Bergman.

I will, without shame or apology, watch this shit everytime it's on late-night weekend cable.

Which seems to be every other weekend.

Holy crap... that is NOT the shit I meant.

Trying again....

Sophie’s Choice

The Holiday with Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and, Lord help me, Jack Black.

Bachelor Party. Love every second of it. Donkey scene gets me every time.

Norbit. What an embarrassment of a movie. I love it.

Exorcist II: The Heretic

It is such a weird movie and so different from what you'd expect out of a sequel to The Exorcist, but that is what makes it fun. There is nothing like it, which may be a good thing depending how you feel about the movie.

How did I fail Women’s Studies, R34? I love bitches!

Battlefield Earth

Happy Gilmore. I love hockey, and I love golf, and the fact that they were able to put the two of them together cracks me up.

Soul Plane. Makes me laugh every damn time.

Once Bitten starring Lauren Hutton and Jim Carrey

Perfect with John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis.

"The Cell" starring Vince Vaughn and J-Lo

"Maid in Manhattan" starring Ralph Fiennes and J-Lo

"Enough" starring Billy Campbell and J-Lo

The Adventures of Pluto Nash.

Everybody seemed to eviscerate it. I thought that it was a fun movie and did not get the hate.

The Pirate Movie. Christopher Atkins in a loincloth!

[quote]Somewhere in Time, the weepy shitfest with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Roger Ebert eviscerated it, but damn if I don't love it ANYWAY!

Me too, but it might be too cruel to describe it as a "weepy shitfest." It seems to be one those movies that hasn't been seen by many people, but is loved by those who have seen it. (Its IMDB rating is 7.3/10 based on over 23,000 votes. Details at link.)

My contribution is "How to Beat the High Cost of Living," which was shown frequently on The Movie Channel in the early 80s. In hindsight, it's a bit like a sitcom without the laugh track, but I watched it over and over and over . . . something about cheering for the underdog, I guess.

I loved "The Cell" for Eiko Ishioka's costume design. She'd won the Costume Design Oscar for "Bram Stoker's Dracula."

The cinematography ("The Cell") was incredible as well.

I wouldn't classify "The Cell" as shit either. It's a visually inventive and arresting movie. The acting is OK, nothing special but not distractingly bad either.

The "Fast & Furious" movies. All of them. (Well, okay, not "Tokyo Drift.") I'm fascinated by how the fuck a cheesy, badly written, badly acted movie about the underground street racing scene in L.A. morphed into an eight-part epic where the street racers have somehow evolved into an elite special-ops team consisting of the world's best drivers, fighters *and* hackers!

I'm also amazed that most of its fan base apparently has no idea that they're basically watching a telenovela-cum-action-movie. Seriously, the plot twists (characters coming back from the dead! amnesia!) are nearly as ridiculous as the levels of suspension of disbelief required to watch. (Example: finding it plausible that a $3 million hypercar would a) be parked in an Abu Dhabi PENTHOUSE; b) thus be able to make not one but TWO jumps between adjacent buildings(!!!); and c) be stolen in the first place because for some reason a Jordanian prince bought a "speed drive" (thumb drive) containing a program written by the hottest female hacker ever -- she also plays Missandei on GoT -- that can immediately locate anyone on the planet using their "digital DNA," the only possible means of hunting down the world's most dangerous assassin, who's pissed because Dom & Brian put him in a coma in the previous installment.)

And no, I didn't make any of this shit up!!

It's so awful it's beautiful!

Goosebumps

Predator 1, of course. “Yer vun ugly motherfucker”!!!! (Arnold to the predator who has dreadlocks.)

Same here, r3. I even liked the second one.

"Vanderpump Rules," all of it, Goddammit! This season's shit deserves an Emmy, A MUTHA-EFFIN' Emmy!

White Chicks

Maid in Manhattan

Another vote for Tommy Boy

Fired Up!

I came here to post Striptease and Bachelor Party, but then remembered the godawful Impromptu. I saw it 14x at the dollar theater and still love it.

What is DL's opinion on Salome's Last Dance? I was obsessed with it for years. My dad, no stranger to Russell's films and generally a fan of them, watched maybe 20 minutes of it before declaring it "a steaming pile of dumbshit".

"Impromptu" isn't a godawful movie, it's a wonderful movie that ought to be considered an AFI classic!

"Pacific Rim", now there's a shitfest, but one I like. What can I say, the director rips off both the Transformers AND the Toho Studio monsters... and makes them fight each other! It's terrible by any rational standard, but I really liked it anyway.

Dead Ringer starring Bette Davis and Bette Davis.

Strait Jacket starring Joan Crawford.

I love these old shitfests and watch them a lot.

Summer of Fear. TV movie starring Linda Blair and Carol Lawrence and Wes Cravens directorial debut. Awful. But the nostalgia of seeing this as a kid is too heady to resist.

I agree about Impromptu, r87, but I've read and heard a lot of criticism about it, mostly due to Judy Davis's performance. Emma Thompson got her fair share of criticism as well, but I think people missed the point that her character was supposed to be vapid and annoying.

Claws I can't wait for season 2

I wish I could go back to the 90s and bang a whigga with this swag :)

[quote]"Pacific Rim", now there's a shitfest, but one I like. What can I say, the director rips off both the Transformers AND the Toho Studio monsters... and makes them fight each other! It's terrible by any rational standard, but I really liked it anyway.

The "ripoff" director is Guillermo del Toro - you know, the man who just won an OSCAR for directing "The Shape of Water."

Learn the difference between a ripoff and an homage, dear.

I thought Pacific Rim was an homage to Ultraman anyway.

Tremors! Can't be Reba McEntire and Michael Gross in their rec room.

I wanted to have that shitfest love for it, like I do for Predator. I just found it boring. The monster action wasn’t very intense and too much of the movie was silly speechifying.

Harper Valley PTA

Waitress! - the 1981 farce from legendary low-budget Troma Team producers.

Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell. I love that they took a 70s kid’s show and reinvented it as a stoner pic. Danny McBride is very funny. Plus when they sing Cher at that weird vibrating crystal that cracks me up!

Deep Blue Sea

That movie with Kim Basinger and John Larroquette.

The Wicked Lady 1983 One of my favorite guilty pleasures. It's finally now on Blu-ray and DVD and the cinematography. locations and costumes are really beautiful - but Faye Dunaway, Prunella Scales, John Gielgud, Alan Bates and John Gielgud are delicious.

I watch every couple of months.

Rent-a-Cop starring Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli, with a bonus appearance by Dionne Warwick who meets a lurid end.

Dirty Dancing

The live-action Japanese movie version of THE PRINCE OF TENNIS manga/anime. Picture a clunky, truncated, live-action movie of SHREK with all the jokes & songs & visuals cut out and replaced with boring soapy montages & cheap teen-drama angst. That’s what happened with this.

It’s shockingly awful, from FX to acting to plot. The dumb cartoon version that preceded it (and went on forever, and jumped every shark, and looked like shit) was of higher calibre. The cheesy fanservice-y musicals were better, too. There was even a Chinese sitcom adaptation of the first PRINCE OF TENNIS arc that surpasses this film in quality.

That said, I still own the DVD-rip and watch it at least annually, because the main cast of characters were also the stage-actors for the musical version and I have a soft-spot for that cast... who by-and-large were reality/soap/newbie performers who could not sing, dance or act worth a fig but tried hard and were cute anyway. Amazing what nostalgic eyes can overlook.

It’s also very cool to see physics-defying tennis in HD multi-camera format even though said FX have dated horrifically.

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

With the BeeGees, Peter Frampton, Steve Martin, Alice Cooper, and Aerosmith singing “Come Together”

I lost several friends because I dragged them to this film in the 70s.

The Money Pit. Shelly Long has great comic timing. I will watch it anytime it is on.

...oh God, it's "Runaway Bride."

It is nothing but oozing fecal matter, and yet it mesmerizes me. Nothing about it makes sense, it isn't funny, it isn't logical or believable or heartwarming or anything but a stupid excuse to string together more scenes of "Gerbil" Gere and "Mail-Slot Mouth' Roberts. NOTHING. Not the plot, nor the random scenes that aren't supported by any backstory or eventual reveal. It isn't funny. It is embarrassing to watch. But I have watched it many, many times.

I should be in the town stocks with rotten produce chucked at me for admitting this.

The Naked Kiss.....

R115 Love the Money Pit.

Ishtar. I don't care how bad people think the movie is. It makes me laugh. It looks like they had fun making it and I love that.

Last American Virgin-Penis measuring, abortion, heartbreak, I'm there.

Roadhouse!

[quote]"Hulk" The Eric Bana version. I love love love that movie but am told that it is complete crap. Coulda' fooled me!

Yes! I’ll take this movie over any of today's Marvel movies. It might make some weird and even boring missteps, but it absolutely swings for the fences. It so refreshing to see a comic book movie that eschews formula and takes real narrative and aesthetic chances.

Sister Act

The Blues Brothers

Summer Lovers

DINAH EAST.......

Any love for Pia Zadora's "Butterfly" and "The Lonely Lady" movies? I never saw them, but I remember them being trashed by the critics.

R120, me too! Don't anyone crucify me but I enjoy Homicidal a lot more than Psycho!

I live In Las Vegas and one movie is both a shit storm and a nostalgic stroll after all these years is...

Porky's II - in which the gang put on an unlikely production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

This is embarrassing. The Al Pacino movie Author!Author!

If someone walks in the room I'll hide my face but I won't change it.

Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park

My church school was overrun by bible salesmen decrying the satanism in rock-n-roll when it premiered, so I was playing with my immortal soul watching this pornography and it was slightly better than Shazam

While I didn't care for the music or know any of the band members' names, I could identify the cat and his glorious makeup. Looking back, he had a Calumet City body and hair to match. Perhaps he had talent.

Starship Troopers. So many laugh-out-loud moments and Casper is very easy on the eyes. I love the scene where he gets tied up and flogged.

The Highlander! Christopher Lambert had a terrible Scottish accent and Sean Connery's Spanish accent was no better. The story was very silly but a great soundtrack by Queen helped the movie significantly. Clancy Brown made a great villain with a sense of ghastly humor, I thought he was sexier than the hero.

The Apple - It's the future, 1994! and the Eurovision contest has taken over the world and it's a biblical allegory. This movie has everything, including a choreographed orgy sequence.

Xanadu - my all rime favorite film

Schock Treatment - the sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and a critique of 1980s consumerism

XXX starring Vin Diesel

Dracula 2000 and Priest.

The Money Pit is certainly not shit, so it's unfit for this thread. It's one of my top 10 comedies. It's brilliant.

Armageddon (1998)

I would've licked Affleck's shitter 20 years ago. Now not so much.

Mommie Dearest of course.

Night Shift with Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, and Shelley Long, who plays a prostitute.

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. [bold]I[/bold] don't think it's shit (it is one of my fun, go-to movies), but many others seem to.

Is something like Death Becomes Her really bad? I feel like some people are confusing bad with campy. What happens when it's intentional camp like Death Becomes Her? Can it really be "bad?"

Mommie Dearest is a bad movie, because it's trying to hard to be an Oscar worthy biopic and failing at every turn, becoming a macabre comedy instead. Same with Valley of the Dolls or Showgirls.

DEEP IMPACT (1998).

Because.... this.

DEEP IMPACT (1998).

Because.... this.

Love Actually

Another vote for Chef. It's my guilty pleasure. I also love Plan Nine from Outer Space and March of the Wooden Soldiers, which used to be played on TV every holiday season. It's an antique but worth watching for the deliciously campy performance of the villain, Barnaby. The character actor Henry Brandon (billed as "Henry Kleinbach") steals every scene he is in.

LOVE ACTUALLY: Emma Thompson discovers that her husband (Alan Rickman) has been cheating on her....

LOVE ACTUALLY: Emma confronts her hubby Alan about the Xmas gift.

Deep Rising

Also +1 for Starship Troopers and Deep Impact.

R24, how au courant, that choice. That particular movie is like a mash up of The Matrix and Inception, so fitting for our world today.

I hate myself when I start tearing up when this saccharine shit starts...

Grandma’s Boy

Clueless

Valentine (2001)-horror movie about a group of female friends who are targeted because one of the friends wrongly accused a classmate of sexual assault

R167, I respectfully disagree. Clueless is airy and fizzy but also a very clever yet gentle satire of princess culture in LA. I would not call it shit.

[quote]The Blues Brothers

I'm glad someone else a) thinks it's shit and b) loves it anyway. I have to say I feel the same way about Animal House and Vacation, two films often described as brilliant comedies.

Well, there's The Cell, and the Happening, and Abbott & Costello Go to Mars, and Deep Impact, and Earthquake, and Night of Dark Shadows, and everything directed by Mario Bava

But most of all, there's Exorcist II: The Heretic . . .

A KISS BEFORE DYING

MADEA franchise

DL's hottest shit movie is PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE!!!

And this movie has EVerything! Lyle Talbot. Solaronite. Cardboard tombstones that bend when you step on them and then spring back up. Bela Lugosi getting killed by a car - offscreen. A character named Eros, played by an actor named Manlove.

Isn't that a movie we love BECAUSE it's bad though, r176?

I know the distinction is subtle, but I think the thread is more about movies that we actually like and enjoy on their own merits, despite the movie being simply bad. So more guilty pleasures than MST3K.

What a girl wants

The Lizzie McGuire movie

It HAS to have been mentioned already, but.......

GLEN or GLENDA?

R179, meet R177

I'm glad someone mentioned The Holiday. I really like it and I don't think it's a shit film (although most of DL does). Love to watch it around Christmas.

Big Trouble in Little China -- it's a terrible movie. I love it.

Caddyshack -- yes it was a huge hit but it's basically an 80s teen sex comedy, and pretty dumb. I adore it.

Anaconda -- girl please. Such junk. I can't not watch.

And the king of bad movies I love:

Killer Klowns from Outer Space -- whenever it shows at the Alamo Drafthouse I MUST GO SEE IT. I sit there cackling like an idiot at the character played by the brilliant, and greatly missed, John Vernon.

Shyamalan's "Signs." There is a fairly good movie buried deep in there somewhere, it is arguably extremely flawed as it is, but I find it very watchable every time it's on.

Valentine is a good one. It's really fun.

[R184] I LOVE VALENTINE. such an underrated trash masterpiece. Denise Richards proves she can't act in a bikini and Jessica Capshaw's portrayal of her brittle bitch former fat girl friend is inspired! Plus, Katherine Heigl gets the Drew Barrymore/Janet leigh designation.

Sliding Doors

Arena. This shitty film from 2011 starring Kellan Lutz. He has a scene where after banging some ugly ho he goes on and starts doing push-ups half naked against a wall.

Center Stage. Absolutely awful and I love every badly acted frame of it. (Bonus points for the Susan Stroman motorcycle choreography.)

[R188] "Juliette Simone, give me a break. Her name is Julie Simon and she's from Perth Amboy NJ."

Friday the 13th, part V. The director gave an interview and he said the studio told him to kill someone every 17 minutes. It's over the top trash but I love it.

Fear No Evil. An 80s movie about Lucifer in high school. Has anyone seen it? Where he makes the PE coach kills the boyfriend of the girl he likes during dodgeball? And he makes his bully grow a pair of tits?

r190 Fear No Evil sounds pretty weird. I am gonna check it out man!

TRAILER

THIS!

If there were a movie that consisted of nothing but trailers, what would the trailer for it be?

Logan’s Run

Starship Troopers is considered a generous, very high work of art by post-structuralists.

[R194] Check out Terror in the Aisles (1984) and It Came From Hollywood [1982]

Fear No Evil is nuts and a total blast. Very Omen inspired. The director's next film, Lady in White, is actually really lovely and beautiful. I wish he'd make another film. He had a lot of talent.

Jessica Capshaw is actually surprisingly moving in Valentine and easily the best one in the film. Then again, she had the most to work with, character wise.

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl O Rama is a guilty pleasure for me, as is Nightmare Sisters and just about any other David DeCoteau film. That man doesn't get enough credit. Sometimes, he'd be given a weekend to shoot an entire film. I'm pretty sure his longest film shoot was about a week. That was back during the VHS boom and video stores were constantly looking for product.

We're on a mission from God.

A Kiss Before Dying and Summer Lovers are enjoyable and indeed pure shit.

I enjoy dated biblical epics, and corny B&W movies from the golden age of Egyptian Cinema, if they have at least 2 dance numbers. They are especially enjoyable because I don't speak a word of Arabic but they are basically I Love Lucy plots and all the actors and actresses express everything with their faces and gestures.

I loved how Spielberg's brat step-daughter Jessica played a spoiled bitch who had daddy pay for everything except she couldn't be saved in the end and her image was fucked in death.

Another trash slasher movie that I love is Urban Legend and I loved the motive for revenge reveal in that movie.

The Flogging Casper scene from Starship Troopers. The homoeroticism was very understated throughout the film.

Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini go to Florida for spring break and sing a lot. Bad jokes, bad choreography, bad everything.

And I love, love, love it.

[quote]I have to say I feel the same way about Animal House and Vacation, two films often described as brilliant comedies.

For some reason, I've never had the slightest desire to see either of those.

If I finally did, it would be to see Beverly D'Angelo. She should have had a bigger career.

THE PHANTOM MENACE, the only SW movie I’ve voluntarily watched more than a couple times.

Even with all its flaws it’s still a breathtaking world to dive into. And I still ship Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan 😭😭

Serendipity

Bad movie, so formulaic, another one shilling NYC, and yet so irresistible to me. Soundtrack introduced me to St. Germain, too.

R171, 'The Cell' was so awful though. It made 'The Happening' look like Oscar material.

I like Serendipity and it's one of those movies that I'll always watch if it's on cable.

Pin.

One of the weirdest Canadian horror movies I have ever seen, and laughable, but I treasure it.

I love the "bad" Indiana Jones movies that everyone hates (Temple of Doom and yes, even Crystal Skull)

The movie Commando (1985).

It is full of bad acting, over the top action and technical errors, but I have to watch it at least twice a year. It is absolute garbage but it entertains me better than most highly acclaimed movies. I love it.

BLADES OF GLORY (2007). Lost track of the number of times I’ve seen it, and I don’t even rate Ferrell that highly as a comic.

Frankly BLADES is sniggering homophobic dreck that goes for the cheap laughs. Somehow though there’s still something charming enough about the wacky, bawdy, leery situation to overlook these faults. There hasn’t been another film like it since. I laugh & smile every time I watch, and can still quote it 10 years later. The chemistry of the cast and the clever nods to IRL-skating (“—OKSANA...!”) are perfect, too.

WHET Jon Heder?

Kill me, but I though Jon Heder was cute back then, but then I like 'em nerdy. Wonder what he looks like now.

I named Commando a few entries up, but there is another one that my husband and I both watch any time it is on. The movie is a total mess and is by no means a good movie, but we both watch the shit out of Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton. I know it's shit, but I love it anyway!

Dracula A.D. 1972

Johnny Alucard was HOT.

Star War The Third Gathers: Backstroke of the West HD (Dubbed)

Any dumb movies they made of tokusatsu series like Kamen Rider or Super Sentai.

They’re just fun, silly, predictable kids’ stuff with formulaic plots and thin stock characters, but usually enjoyable distraction. I think I’m often won over by the schlocky B-movie rubber-suits and cheesy lame faux kung-fu they all use. And the models & popstars they hire as actors.

Strangely I didn’t enjoy the Saban ‘localisations’ of Sentai series, better known to the U.S. masses as Power Rangers. I think America made the premise too serious and sucked out all the unintentional humor & campy glee of the Japanese versions, especially by using gorgeous athletic 20-something actors as leads instead of skinny dorky teenage Idols.

[quote] I didn’t enjoy the Saban ‘localisations’ of Sentai series, better known to the U.S. masses as Power Rangers. I think America made the premise too serious and sucked out all the unintentional humor & campy glee of the Japanese version.

Totally R229. Most US adaptations of Japanese anime & drama movies don’t really work out well.

I thought SENTAI GEKIRANGER and BOUKENGER were both way better than JUNGLE FORCE as a series, so I’m glad the Sentai got their own movie over the Power Rangers. The original Japanese shows were zany nonsense but at least were fun, and the Rangers were cute. And they used plenty of innuendo...

[quote]R171, 'The Cell' was so awful though. It made 'The Happening' look like Oscar material.

Who cares when it looked like this . . .

. . . and this . . .

Oh, I know that one. Jennifer Lopez? Something about a kid trapped in a dream world? Can't remember the title, but yeah, people hated it.

Not Another Teen Movie. Hilariously shitty, and a guilty pleasure.

Guns Girls and Gangsters (1959). "Ya want thrills? Ya got thrills!" Moi, j'adore Mamie Van Doren!

HERCULES AGAINST THE MONGOLS - starring the delightful Mark Forest, a never-married bodybuilder-turned film star-turned opera singer. as the mighty strong man. Renato Rossi and Ken Clark are tasty eye candy as two of the three evil Mongol brothers.

There was an old early 80s movie called Pandemonium, a parody of slasher films. Just awful, but I watched it every time it popped up on HBO

I love sword-and-sandal movies, now referred to as “peplum” pictures, from the one-shoulder tunics the muscle heroes wear. (I was an impressionable gayling in the early 60 s during their brief heyday.)

They’re all really of a piece: muscle hero lifts and bends things, has a pouty, but virtuous girlfriend, lots of male buddies, is menaced by a scheming nobleman, usually with a pointy beard, and is lured by a scantily clad temptress with too much makeup. That about describes them all.

And everyone’s dubbed.

Some had bigger budgets, like “The Colossus of Rhodes” (1961), where an obviously midwest American Rory Calhoun arrives in ancient Rhodes from Omaha, and encounters all of the above. Though he wasn’t particularly muscular, Rory looked good in a miniskirt, and had a nice hairy chest for a change. (Practically all the peplum muscle heroes have been manscaped smooth.) The plot includes the obligatory finale of a “revolt of the people against the tyrant,” wherein a few of the sympathetic minor characters are killed off.

“Colossus” has better production values than most, but it’s still cheesy at heart, with some delectable sides of beef included. Always good for an escape.

Another so-bad-it’s good movie is MGM’s “Atlantis the Lost Continent” (also 1961), wherein carhop “Alantean princess” inveigles gas station attendant “Greek fisherman” to sail her back to the island kingdom, where everyone is menaced by uber-fag John Dall. Best line in the movie, and among my all-time favorites, is when princess wakes up in fisherman's 1 BR hovel, sees she’s been dressed in a burlap bag, and demands, “Where is my robe? This cloth offends my skin.”

I love the movie She-Devil, with Meryl Streep and Roseanne Barr. I'm embarrassed to admit I own it.

Reindeer games. It's shit but batfleck was slim and has his tits out in it.

I was addicted to the show Ghost Hunters I watched every episode and when the series went into reruns I watched them. I admit I had a crush on Grant Wilson who I thought was hot.

A PLACE!!!

Where nobody dared to go!!

I just watched “Reindeer Games” recently for the first time, R240 — I knew it would be junk, and it was. But damn if that Ben Affleck didn’t look handsome and slim then, and showed his butt, too!

I watch "The Ten Commandments" every time it's on TV because it's so hilariously cheesy. "Oh, Moses, Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool! "

SPIDER-MAN III.

The only entertaining Spidey film. It is gloriously awful. Raimi/Maguire were proud of it, which makes it even funnier.

You can feel the discomfort of Topher Grace.

Scarface (Pacino).

Overboard (Goldie & Kurt Russell)

Showgirls

The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962)

Total shit! One of my favorite scenes is when the doctor boyfriend is running frantically to his lab with his decapitated girlfriend's head cradled in his arms after she dies in a car accident---where he has to hook it up to some crazy looking life support system. Shoddy, stupid dialog, etc. but fun to watch.

You can watch it on Amazon Prime!

“The Temp”. Timothy Hutton vacillating between lethargy and overacting, Faye Dunaway and Dwight Schultz chewing the scenery, and Lara Flynn Boyle being upstaged by her wigs.

The original Dawn Of The Dead and Evil Dead movies. The special effects are horrible and cheesy but I love them.

Skin Deep, the movie starring John Ritter with the glow in the dark fighting condoms. Stupid as hell but love JR.

Prisoners of the Casbah with Gloria Grahame

No love for Femme Fatale? I sat there, enchanted by every frame, knowing the whole time it was a lot of hokum but not caring a whit. So stylish and mesmerizing, so seductively told.

Then again, perhaps that's what matters most about a movie or any story -- that it be gloriously told. The story itself might not matter so much, in the end. So, shit or not shit?

Sorority Row remake was crap, but I love it.

White Chicks

This Means War

Everyone hated it

R239 you're not alone. I wish I owned She-Devil

Crimes of Passion starring Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins and directed by Ken Russell. Over the top weirdness. Also the first racy film I ever saw. The male lead made my preteen hormones surge when I saw him take China Blue's erect nipple into his mouth.

The puerile, lazy YEAR ONE with Jack Black & Michael Cera.

Paul Rudd is fucking hilarious in it, and his scene is only 4 minutes long.

My ultimate pick would have to be THE KARATE KID, PART III.

It has every realistic & surprising plotpoint lacking in the previous KK films and even the current COBRA KAI series: a necessary seduction of innocence; a vengeance-taking on our unsympathetic hero that involves psychosomatic trauma; the exploration of intergenerational relationship breakdown; a girl-next-door who actually doesn’t want Daniel-san; and a lurid depiction of microbusiness vs. multinational.

Also, Thomas Ian Griffiths.....sleazy-hotness.

R253 I thought I was the only one who loves White Chicks!

All of the Step Up movies are shit, but I love all of them minus the original with Channing Tatum.

Grease 2.

Center Stage was campy fun ballet movie featuring Zoe Saldana.

TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES, only because I like imagining myself in the place of Claire Danes getting to repopulate the planet with sexy sad-eyed Nick Stahl.

A GOOD NIGHT TO DIE (2003), but mostly only for Ally Sheedy and her fake Southern Jezebel accent.

Ralph Macchio, Frank Whaley & Lainie Kazan were campy fun in it too. Michael Rapaport was really very sexy.

Ugh, I meant that Gary Stretch was very sexy (Rapaport is cute, though). I was tired last night.
