Favorite Horribly Made Movie You Secretly Can't Live Without

[ebeth]

I collect bad movies because I simply enjoy the kitsch of flicks green lighted for no other reason  than to suck.

Here's my list of favorites:

1. Showgirls
2. Return to Oz
3. Gator Bait
4. Soggy Bottom USA
5. Malone
6. Cobra
7. Skyscraper (Anna Nicole Smith as a helicopter pilot)
8. To the Limit (Anna Nicole Smith as a CIA agent-costarring with Joey Travolta
9. Beach Babes from Beyond (with Don Swayze)
10. Sorority Babes and the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama

Rocketman...

I just can't get enough of it.

I don't even want to try and count the number of times I've mentioned this movie on here, but The Crush, The Crush, a thousand times The Crush.  

We've got Cary Elwes at the pinnacle of his hotness, we've got his absolute inability to do anything that even resembles and American accent, we've got Red Foreman as the suspicious dad, we've got wasps attacking photographers, and above all else in the world, we've got Alicia Silverstone as a homicidal Lolita.  And sometimes her name is Adrienne, sometimes it's Darian, I've seen the movie 600 times and I'm still not sure what it's supposed to be.

And now we go to the tape.

Commando.  It's not a badly made film, just completely unaware of how cheesy it is.  And it features possibly the gayest end fight in the history of action movies.

I think any Cary Elwes movie is a horrible movie we can't live without...men in tights...princess bride...

You take that back or I will go Inigo Montoya all over your ass.

I remember seeing The Crush just after it had come out and was baffled as to why Cary Elwes wasn't having sex with Alicia Silverstone.  I thought he was a total moron who deserved everything he got.  I was 13, though...

You're right, it's terrible.  Stupid beloved films.  THEY SUCK.

What is bad about the Princess Bride?  Convince me.

Mandy Pantinkin.  No wait... He's awesome.  I'm out.  Princess Bride is great.

touche...I see you are using the Benotti's defense against me eh?


(I really do like the movie...seriously)


And I was just making a joke earlier, I'm sorry that I have offended so many Princess Bride fans...I really do like the movie I swear!

See? I thought it would be funny...apparently not. and I thought Courtney was just making a joke back to me. Oh well, I guess it fell flat

1. Marihauna

2. Assassin of Youth

3. The Cocaine Fiends

4. Sex Madness

5. Damaged Lives.

6. Reefer Madness

7. Xanadu

8. Toomorrow

9. Showgirls

I'm having trouble coming up with a tenth one because while there's movies I love that have flaws - Phantom of the Paradise, Head, Student Bodies - I don't know that they're badly made.  Even Toomorrow is professionally done.  It's just a god-awful script, flat-footed acting (on the part of the four leads) and the most white-bread music ever made.
