[bicentennial_baby]

1. ooooh, I love Battle Royale!!!

:bounce:

You have good taste :thumbsup:

[NightWatcher]

2. two words....Super Troopers

[suzbaby]

56. Meow

Do you know how fast you were going meow?

:rofl:

[u4ic]

3. The 'Burbs

[barb162]

41. That movie was hilarious

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Also, "My Boyfriend's Back"

"Missy McCloud is the most beautiful girl in school and Johnny Dingo has been in love with her for years. One night, Johnny is killed trying to win her over, and soon he comes back from the dead, and wins Missy's heart. Written by Anonymous

Johnny is a teenager like everyone else. He's in love with a beautiful girl named Missy, but he can't tell it to her. One day the shop where Missy works gets robbed and Johnny is killed trying to help. But Johnny doesn't want to stay dead, so he returns to his life like nothing ever happened. After a while he discovers that his body is disintegrating and he must feed with human flesh if he wants to survive. Looks like he is a real zombie... "

5. As I say every time, Teen Wolf Too

starring Jason Bateman

Come on:

"I just want to study hard and be a veterinarian."

"Oh yeah? Well I'm late and you're wrong!"

:rofl:

You can't argue with that.

6. Glen or Glenda (1953)

From the director of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (Edward D. Wood, Jr.), this disasterpiece exposes the hidden life of a cross-dressing man and his unwitting fiancee...

[NC_Nurse]

22. One of my favs!

Completely surreal! :D

[begin_within]

25. It was way ahead of its time, too.

The fact that someone actually put up the money to make it is amazing. That person was a visionary.

[texanwitch]

67. I love to show this movie to people who have never seen it before.

This movie is great.

[asthmaticeog]

7. Rock and Roll High School.

I hear it's raining cats and dogs in Idaho.

[Cobalt-60]

43. Even "Screamin Steve" couldn't mess this one up

Mary Woranov is fabulous as the Villainous Principal.
the teeny boppers were great.
Anything with Clint Howard deserves a look.
And the Ramones soundtrack adds a perfect level of punk thrust.

[AlCzervik]

8. Infection was awesome, really gross but totally enjoyable.

also Witchboard on fearnet.

[Forkboy]

9. Battle Royale was a tough book to adapt.

I have mixed feelings when I watch it.

I have 26 of 28 Godzilla movies so they have to be my pick :)

[jpgray]

10. Explain to me why the leader of Seatopia is bald

And why Jet Jaguar has a giant blue dickey.

[Forkboy]

11. Hell,I've watched them a hundred times and can't tell you that.

Some things are truly unexplainable.

The dickey is pretty sporting though,you have to admit.

[deucemagnet]

14. The answers you seek are in the translation of the Jet Jaguar fight song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cxV8Bf8ND4

Well, one of the answers you seek, anyway. :P

[Forkboy]

17. Damn,I miss that show so much!

:)

[deucemagnet]

45. And, if you watched that episode,

you'd know why Jet Jaguar might want to smash that kid against a rock. :)

[Forkboy]

52. Every little Kenny should be smashed on a rock

The one in Godzilla vs Hedorah(The Smog Monster) makes me want to kill small furry animals.

[martymar64]

35. I liked Battle Royale

But then again, I'm a big fan a Japanese Cinema. I just watched Samurai 1 with Toshiro Mifune when I took off to chill this evening. I really dig the Zatoichi movies most of all. His character really resonates with me.

[deucemagnet]

12. Evil Dead II

Groovy.

[xmas74]

15. Hell yes!

Bruce!

[YankeyMCC]

18. Oh yeah!

[HughBeaumont]

72. I made this photo on a pumpkin two years ago -

[WhollyHeretic]

80. Holy shit!

Nice job :thumbsup:

[HughBeaumont]

81. Danke -

. . . except Bobbie Jo's (I think that's who it is) face looks like a Winston Smith painting. :blush:

[Zookeeper]

13. "Wild Guitar"

1962. Starring....THE IMMORTAL...Arch Hall, Jr.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056693/

[jane_pippin]

19. Good call

:D

[Zookeeper]

24. I have a thing for '50's and early '60's teen exploitation...

movies. Especially, the juvenile delinquent exposes.

My latest find is "The Violent Years" which was written by Ed Wood, Jr.

"In this chilling tale of girls gone bad, Jean Moorehead stars as the leader of a ruthless gang of high school girls bent on robbery and self-destruction. When robbery isn't enough to quench their thirst for crime, the girls turn to more devious pursuits-including a vicious assault on an innocent man who finds out that lover's lane isn't so loving...."





Check it out! :hi:

[jane_pippin]

49. My ex and I used to watch that stuff all the time...

We went through an Arch Hall Jr. phase--it wasn't pretty. :D There's one where Arch is part of some kind of car parts stealing gang that's pretty good, but I forget the name of it.

Another guy, (director) that we were all about, and excuse me if I get the name wrong, was Herschel Gordon Lewis. Blood Freak was particularly awesome--a guy becomes a half man/half chicken vampire who can only live on the blood of pot heads. :rofl:

Thanks for the tip--I'll see if I can find that one.

[xmas74]

16. I love Infection.

It's a fun one to watch.

[hellbound-liberal]

20. Motel Hell with Rory Calhoun and Elaine Joyce (as a dominatrix)

It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters!

[Cobalt-60]

42. An excellent choice

This one has something for everyone.
Action semi star John Ratzenberger makes an appearance, as does Monique St. Pierre, Playmate of the year.
I was thrilled to see Rory Calhoun still working at the dawn of the 80s.
Naturally Wolfman Jack was there, too.
See it. I rate this one four of five chainsaws.

[Orsino]

21. Shaolin Challenges Ninja

Sold domestically under a few other names, too, but this one is an oddity for its time, in that no one dies (sorry for the spoiler). It manages to strike a rare note of detente between China and Japan.

[GOPisEvil]

23. ROAD HOUSE

:thumbsup:

[Flaxbee]

32. lol - so bad it's good

I first saw it about 6 months ago -- my husband was flipping through the channels and came across it - we both became transfixed. Hate it, tho, that Sam bites the dust.

[begin_within]

26. Another really bad (but fun to watch for that reason) one is:

"Cycle Vixens" a.k.a. "Young Cycle Girls" from 1978. An attempt at being a kind of "Easy Rider" with 3 teenage girls as the protagonists.
Terrible script, even more terrible acting, terrible editing, just terrible everything. But that makes it so laughable that it's fun to watch.

[opiate69]

27. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter

http://www.badmovies.org/movies/jesusvamp/index.html

[ghostsofgiants]

63. Good call!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJDObC5c0jw

[ornotna]

64. Yes it was

thanks for the tip and the link. Finally got it all last week, what a hoot. :rofl:

[Glorfindel]

28. My alltime favorite: "Congo"

It has everything! A talking brown gorilla named Amy. Murderous gray gorillas. A crew of African porters singing "California Dreaming." Joe Don Baker as an evil tycoon. Tim Curry as "Herkermer Homolka," formerly of Romania. Erupting volcanos. Huge diamonds. Lost cities. Missiles shooting down airplanes. Not even the luminous Laura Linney can save this movie!

[edbermac]

29. Howard The Duck

[driver8]

36. I would watch that movie just for Lea Thompson!!

I have to admit...I have seen it a couple of times.

[Cobalt-60]

44. a fine selection

Lea Thompson was attractive, and she worked well in the role.
But I got the impression of a little more voluptuous girl from the comic.
No matter, in spite of the obstacles overcome to make it, it's a worhty comic book adaptation, better than many.
Ignore the words of fools - add this one to your collection!

[Archae]

30. The winner!!!

Flash Gordon (1980) :woohoo:

[InvisibleTouch]

31. Godzilla 2000

Had to have been intentionally created to be cheesy, but what a blast to watch!

[anti-everything]

33. Cannibal:The Musical

That's all I have to say...Fantastic movie

[barb162]

34. Earth Girls are Easy

Hilarious

[Truthiness Inspector]

37. Hexed

There's a movie called "Hexed" and I just remember thinking it was so bad it was good, actually I laughed my ass off at the time and couldn't understand what the problem was. It bombed at the box office. I haven't seen it since shortly after it came out, but this thread is inspiring me to watch it again. (And cringe if it really, genuinely was not funny at all in the first place!)

[gr8dane_daddy]

38. Gonna Git You Sucka...

How much for an order of ribs?

[Maccagirl]

39. Rhinestone with Sly Stallone and Dolly Parton

It fits the description of cheesy bad/fun movie.

[GRLMGC]

40. The Swarm

You kinda have to fast forward through most of it but it has some precious gems hidden beneath all the craptabulousness.

[av8rdave]

46. Top Gun

[Skittles]

47. Valley of the Dolls

"Now you get outta my way because I gotta MAN waiting for me!" :D

[Forkboy]

54. For some reason that post excites me.

:evilgrin:

[Akoto]

48. Moulin Rouge!

Hey, I liked it. :shrug:

[dajoki]

50. "Nothing But Trouble"

Dan Akroyd, John Candy, Demi Moore, Chevy Chase.

[Radical Activist]

51. The Dukes of Hazzard movie

I really did like it. Best of all, it had a pro-environment message. They were trying to stop boss hog from strip-mining Hazzard County.

[trof]

53. The All Time Winner: REEFER MADNESS!

Reefer Madness is a 1936 drama film revolving around the tragic events that follow when high school students are lured by pushers to try "marihuana": a hit and run accident, manslaughter, suicide, rape, and descent into madness all ensue. The film was directed by Louis Gasnier and starred a cast composed of mostly unknown bit actors. It was financed by a church group and made under the title Tell Your Children.

The film was intended to be shown to parents as a morality tale attempting to teach them about the dangers of cannabis use.<1> However, soon after the film was shot, it was purchased by producer Dwain Esper, who recut the film for distribution on the exploitation circuit.<1> The film never gained an audience until it was rediscovered in the 1970s and gained new life as a piece of unintentional comedy among cannabis smokers.<1><2> Today, it is considered a cult film.

[NightWatcher]

58. Not funny

Oft times when I smoke pot, I turn into a homicidal maniac. I've been known to kill a dozen or so chipsahoys at a single sitting.

Old highschool tradition, smoke up and watch this then Ferris Bueller's Day Off. If the creator had only known how many people would watch this movie while high, he would have shat himself.

[trof]

60. Ever seen it?

I have it on tape.
It is waaayyyy over the top.
Hilarious.

[tigereye]

55. why Plan 9 of course!

[bridgit]

57. Vegas In Space...

:spray:

[kedrys]

68. On a slightly unrelated subject - although being drunk would probably help

:P Where did you get that great wine rack/glass rack/sideboard combo next to your TV? I've been looking for something exactly like that for the kitchen.

:hi: :toast:

[bridgit]

70. oh that was at our friends house...

'the boys' :hi: :toast:

[Cruzan]

59. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366551/

[charlie and algernon]

61. motherf-ing snakes on a motherf-ing plane!

[Cannikin]

62. Top Secret!

[Maddy McCall]

65. Pootie Tang

Mostly because his dad bought him his bitchin' leather belt at Piggly Wiggly for 99 cents.

:rofl:

[sarge43]

66. Cleopatra

We're talkin' a fine well aged Stilton here, boys and girls.

[idgiehkt]

69. Ice Pirates

I also think of Kentucky Fried Movie, but it was bad and cheesy on purpose.

[peekaloo]

71. 'The H Man' and 'Fiend Without A Face'

Atomic slime eating up Japanese people and brains from outer space snacking on Americans, respectively.

both scared the poo-poo out of me as a child (damn Sat. afternoon chiller theater!)

on second thought 'The H Man' is a pretty damn good film.

[sasquatch]

73. "D.E.B.S.", "Tank", and a whole list of others that I've forgotten

[Susang]

74. I wouldn't call Battle Royale a bad movie

For it's genre, it's actually quite good. Decent script that deals with a huge issue in Japan, the direction is close to brilliant (but then I'm a big fan of Kinji Fukasaku's films) and it has Beat Takashi & Chiaki Kuriyama in it. What's bad about that? :D

However, I'll bet the Americanized version planned for 2008 will suck and horribly.

[jpgray]

83. It's incredibly cheesy though. A big enzymatic pile of formagge frottage.

[RetroLounge]

75. Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death

Shannon Tweed, Bill Maher, Adrienne Barbeau

The government hires a feminist at the local university to track down the Piranha Women living in the uncharted Avocado Jungle (westernmost outpost is San Bernardino) to convince them to move to a reservation condo in Malibu. She hires a guide at the edge of the jungle, a male chauvinist pig, and they have many arguments about men and women as they work their way in, and eventually confront the Piranha Women.

:D

76. Battlefield Baseball

It's got zombies, musical interludes, a hot leading man, and buckets & buckets of blood! :thumbsup"

From Midnight Eye http://www.midnighteye.com/reviews/battbase.shtml :

For certain, Battlefield Baseball is like none of these films. Instead, director Yudai Yamaguchi, in his debut film, gives us a world first - a baseball zombie horror comedy, complete with chainsaws, corpses sailing through the air and high-kicking kung-fu antics. Based on a popular manga story by Gataro Man that ran in the top-selling Monthly Shonen Jump magazine, Battlefield Baseball almost dispenses with the bat and ball altogether, and instead deals up a whole lot more fun in its place, mocking the clichés of the genre in a manner as spirited as it is funny.

[Forkboy]

77. Looks like Versus meets Shaolin Soccer.

Which means it must be awesome!

[Susang]

82. Totally awesome!

And available on Netflix! http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Battlefield_Baseball/70032732?trkid=189530&strkid=198708184_0_0

BTW, I love Versus! :thumbsup:

[Forkboy]

84. I had to check but it's the same guy from Versus in one of your pics.

Tak Sakaguchi



he's also an alien in this movie,which is close to my heart;



I'm definitely tracking Battlefield Baseball down.It may be a keeper. :)

[PittPoliSci]

78. die hard dracula

79. Barbarella. n/t
