bad movies you always watch

[icstephen]

Well I was looking through next months Musclemag Intl and they are doing a feature on Arnold (ok they are always doing a feature on Arnold) and it got me thinking about bad movies that I will always watch over and over. Now Arnold did have some good movies but he also made some major cheese. My list is below, whats yours?

1) Last Action hero - Arnold
2) Commando - Arnold
3) Hudson Hawk - B. Willis
4) Sargent peppers lonely hearts club band - Bee Gee's
5) Telephon - C. Bronson
6) attack of the killer tomatoes PT2 - John Astin
7) Super Mario brothers - Bob hoskins (I really like this one)
8) Howard the duck - L. Thompson/J. Jones
9) Brain Donors - (this is a modern day remake os Marks Bro's movies)
10) The black hole
11) A boy and his dog - Don johnston (I really only like the last 40 min or so)
12) Big trouble in Little china - C. Russel (note this script was originally supposed to be Buckaroo banzai 2 but the sequel was never made
13) Buckaroo Banzai - P. Weller (I don't consider this a bad movie but I'm sure the critics do)
14) Doctor Detroit - D. aykroiyd/ H. hessman (I actually saw this in the theater twice)
15) Neighbors - J.belushi/ D. aykroyd (I don't like it but I have to look like a bad accident on the freeway)

I'm sure I will think of more but thats all I have for now

Sorry - that's a common 'net rumor:

Bah....what do critics know?

 

[newsjunkie]

1) Big Trouble in Little China (although I'm not sure I agree that it's a bad movie)
2) Krull ( it's cheesy, but I still love it)
3) Caddy Shack 2
4) Cherry 2000 (The movie is horrible, but Tim Thomerson kills me.)

Yea I should have said movies that where considered bad by the critics and the masses. All of the movies I put on my list I like, they are just considered bad

I wouldnt call Blackhole a bad movie, at the time it was one of Disney's most cutting edge films and costliest to produce. It came out to close to Star Wars and because of that it didnt do well but since that time it has gained a cult following.

I have no idea what the critics thought of it, but for some reason every few months I have to watch "Father Goose" again.

I never saw "A Boy and his Dog" but I read the original story. In the end of the movie, does his dog, shall we say (without giving anything away), "get hungry?"

 

[cheebs]

1) Tremors -- any time it's on I can't change the channel for some weird reason
2) Hudson Hawk
3) True Lies (Arnie seems to pop up very frequently here)

If I remember correctly yes, I havent seen it in years and its not something that comes on at any kind of regular interval much like Damnation Alley or Shockwaves.


Let me add to the list

23. Shocker
24. Pumpkin head 1 and 2
25. Any Earnest movie ( come on you gotta love him )
26. PeeWee's big adventure and Big top PeeWee ( you cant help but laugh at Chris Christopherson for being so desperate as to take a supporting role in that movie )
27. Hackers ( Anelina Jolie in her first role though not as good as seeing her topless in Fox Fire )
28. Killer clowns from outspace
29. Space Truckers
30. Tank Girl

Shock waves is a great movie, I have this one on DVD. Also yes that is how a boy and his dog ends, I saw it not too long ago on Flix (I think) or Sundance

Shock waves as in the people stranded on the tropical island and find an abandonded WW2 german research station and reawaken german biological super soldier experiments gone horribly wrong?

yup thats the one, I havent watched it in some time maybe I'll dig it out.

Also another so called bad movie - I watched "On her majesty's secret service" today, I hated this movie when I saw it as a youth but its actually pretty good. It had a few slow spots but I zipped through them...not the best James Bond movie but definatly not the worst (the worst was license revoked or whatever it was called)

PS: I have another one on your list "killer clowns from outerspace" I have that one on DVD but have yet to watch it (I've only had it 3 years...LOL), what can I say I buy ALLOT of dvd's, guess I should save some $$ and watch the ones I got before I buy more.
