Robocop singing power ballads.
Jeff Goldblum in a goofy cowboy outfit.
John Lithgow as a scientist gone mad from what he's seen and Christopher Lloyd as a weird alien.
God it's a fucking treasure along the lines of Big Trouble in Little China.
National Treasure
Some movies are just good fun, and Nicolas Cage is frankly in a lot of those kind of flicks. Con Air is up there, too.
I'm no so ashamed but Waterworld is a glorious spectacle with great world building and an over the top performance by Dennis Hopper
It is a terrible movie that is also a glorious spectacle and everyone (except Kevin Costner) is fantastic. Nothing makes any sense, but is fun to see and frequently illogically clever.
Watched it last week!
Sin City.
The story is bad in so many ways, but I love this extreme cynism.
None, if I love something, I have no shame about it.
You own that part of yourself.
Well now I'm in a quandary. I want to say Hudson Hawk except I'm not ashamed. You either appreciate its quirkiness or you don't. And if you do you are simply a better, more evolved person than the rabble who doesn't like it.
hudson hawk gets rewatched here all the time. it is a good movie.
I saw it in the theater and loved it then. Still do.
Frankenhooker.
It's crass and trashy and I fucking love it.
Should I add this to Zombie Strippers?
Oh Frankenhooker is far more thoughtful and clever than Zombie Strippers, imho.
The end of the film almost makes it a feminist film when the tables are turned and the main character gets his comeuppance.
Also Hard Ticket to Hawaii
I don't know any other film that passes the Bechdel test in a scene where two former Playboy models are topless in a hot tub together and talk about something other than men (there are no men in the scene, just the two women). A very unique and strange way to pass the Bechdel test that feels like it undermines the entire point of the Bechdel test existing.
Also Con Air, a star studded wild romp that's so fucking stupid it rounds the bend to brilliant.
Ok so I actually just really love bad movies, that's the thing. I could be on this thread all day.
Short Circuit 2
I feel personally attacked. It's better than the first film.
Los locos kicn your ass, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into outer spaaaaace!
A great performance by Michael McKean as always.
We just don't talk about Fisher Stevens. Poor guy deeply regrets the role.
Punked out Johnny Five is the best Johnny Five.
It's such a quotable movie!
No disassemble!
Tu mama haci el amore co mi perro
Johnny's in the tunnel with Oscar...
There's no shame here. Punk Johnny 5 zooming in to save the day, sparks flying, I Need a Hero blasting.... Peak cinema.
DCOMs (disney channel movies). i love 'em. especially the musicals.
Speed Zone. It has John Candy and Eugene Levy in it… and a red Lamborghini skipping across a pond like a skipping stone (and that’s the joke). Dumb as hell but as far as car/race films it’s kind of fine. I mean, how seriously do you need to take a movie about a cross-country race? It was originally going to called Cannonball Run 3 but was dropped from the franchise. I’ve never seen the others.
Not that ashamed, but it’s not a great movie.
All the animated Tinker Bell movies by Disney.
We recently watched the old Peter Pan, and I never realized Tinkerbell was a murderous hoe.
