Note in passing that Showtime this month is showing the Roger Corman little love, Inhumanoid, with both Bernsen AND Grieco.

This site is pretty funny, but isn't helping much with the poll: http://www.moviecliches.com/

1. "We've got company"

Tired ass old line that dates back to black and white B WESTERNS -

10. Can you imagine actually saying this in real life?

I mean assuming your name isn't Velma or Shaggy...

2. You wake up with naugahyde patterns on your face, and a screen full

of fuzz 12 hours after the movie started.

3. Men in Gorilla Suits - always a good indicator

The female lead has a PhD and looks like Raquel Welch.

Someone saying the male lead is tampering with nature.

Painfully dated hip dialog "Hey daddy-o it swings!"

People in their mid 20's playing teenagers.

Any film done by Burt I Gordon.

4. when you wonder what Joel and the Bots would be say

if they saw this film.

5. This happens A LOT

although mainly we just do our best in Best Brains' absence.

7. Saw something listed on cable the other day starring Anna Nicole Smith &

Joey Travolta. This may trump your Frank Stallone. I blew up the tv just to be on the safe side.

14. Need the tie broken
