Pearl Harbor.


Yep.

Saw it AT LEAST 20 times at the theatre.

"Not Without My Child". The wonderfully made lifetime movie starring the effervescent and brilliant Merrideth Baxter Bernie.

Pearl Harbor was horrible. Not because it had a love story intertwined, but because the love story was completely ridiculous and added nothing nor had anything to do with that tragic day. The special effects and action scenes were really good though.

Clueless. Maybe it's just that I like looking at Alicia Silverstone.

keg in kc 03-19-2008 03:17 PM

The 10000 BC thread in the media forum finally brought one to mind: Roland Emmerich masterpiece "Stargate".

I felt dirty buying that dvd for some reason, but I watch it about every 6 months. I just dig that movie for some reason. Ancient egyptian with an alien tie-in does it every time.

KCChiefsMan 03-19-2008 03:32 PM

I kinda like "You got served"

Starbux37 03-19-2008 03:37 PM

Hairspray - Hate to admit I really like this movie.

Galaxy Quest - I own the damned DVD and still will stop to watch it on tv when it comes on. :doh!:

Bowser 03-19-2008 03:39 PM

And let me go on record here - Battlefield Earth WASN'T that bad. It was worse.

It was so bad, that I gave up on it after 15 minutes. And wondered how I made it that long.

I suffered longer than that. I made it to where Barry Pepper gave the gun back to Mutant Travolta, and then called it. ****ing brutal.

sedated 03-19-2008 03:47 PM

For some reason I have to watch these if I see them on TV. I wouldn't even really say I "like" them, just that the remote gets put down when they flash on the screen.

Armageddon
Drumline
Tango and Cash

Just imagine what kind of movies we'd be talking about if this was a "movies you're embarrased to admit you've watched late at night on hbo/cinemax/showtime/encore when there was nothing else on".

Sully 03-19-2008 03:56 PM

I watched "Crank" last night.
It wasn't great, but it was fun.
I'd watch it again.

Pitt Gorilla 03-19-2008 03:57 PM

Agreed. A friend of mine and I had passes for it. We got blotto and went to see it in the theater. Laughed my ass off through the entire thing. We were the only people there who seemed to enjoy it.

kaplin42 03-19-2008 04:35 PM

Damn I must phail. I like a lot of the movies mentioned.

Love Actually - hilarious
Evolution - hilarious
Tango and Cash - hilarious
Armagedon - hilarious

Thats just on the last page.

How about

50 First Dates - Couldnt stand Drew Barrymore before this movie
The Last Boyscout - hilarious
Army of Darkness - F'ing hilarious
Starship Troopers - Mentioned already, but hilarious
Death to Schmoochy - hilarious

dilligaf 03-19-2008 04:45 PM

Here's two nobody has mentioned yet.

Elf (before Ferrell got completely annoying)
The Man with Two Brains (Steve Martin)

'Hamas' Jenkins 03-19-2008 04:49 PM

See, but I'm not even really embarrassed to like Tango and Cash, The Last Boyscout, Road House, Point Break, hell even Freddy got Fingered.

I guess I have the same lack of shame in movies that a chick who does anal gangbangs does for her asshole.

SCTrojan 03-19-2008 05:03 PM

Guilty on the following charges. And some random romantic comedies.

Alot of the movies on this list are pretty decent movies. Some even critically acclaimed. No shame in that.

Not necessarily "B" movies, but bad movies that you know are bad but you still like them.... or chick flicks. That was the intent.

I don't think any of my list would ever be critically acclaimed.

Some of these movies aren't bad, but there are a couple I need to add.

Things to do in Denver when you're dead.

Princess Bride.

Yep. "Flash Gordon" was as silly and campy as a film can be. The actor who played Flash was so bad that they dubbed his voice in the studio weeks before it was released in theaters.

But, God bless it...I watch that movie whenever I come across it on my channel guide.

KCTitus 03-19-2008 07:51 PM

Starship Troopers might be ghey, but like Dusk till Dawn, Denise Richards in that movie is worth it...

I started watching 10 things I hate about you and my 14 yo daughter started to question my manliness....that's just wrong

Are you sure you're not thinking of The Legend of the Lone Ranger? I know the guy who played the Lone Ranger was dubbed by one of the Keach brothers. I'm pretty sure Sam Jones' voice was used in Flash Gordon-I've seen him in a couple of other movies.

Ive always heard that Sam Jones voiced was dubbed as well for Flash.

Thats probably my fave bad movie.

Yeah, I like it, too. Not really a bad movie, IMO, as it was intended to be cheesy and silly.

IMDB doesn't mention anything about Jones' voice being dubbed. Normally that sort of thing is listed in the trivia section. The dubber (is that a word?) would be listed in the expanded credits as well.

Extra Point 03-19-2008 09:08 PM

Starship Trooper. Ony because Yes is such a great band, which led me to rent it only because of the title.

And Denise Richards is, well..........

Frazod 03-19-2008 09:11 PM

I love Starship Troopers. LOVE IT. Never read the book so I didn't get offended, as I was with Dune (don't even get me started on David fucking Lynch's butchery).

I guess that would be my favorite bad movie, but I really don't consider it bad. Just cheesy and silly. With great special effects and DEnise Richards.

I was trying to look up a Flash Gordon clip on Youtube, and ran accross another B Sam Jones flick: "My Chauffeur" with former 80's hottie Deborah (Valley Girl) Foreman.

I have that on DVD - it's a bit ragged in spots, but overall is hilarious. The scene where the punk rocker is chasing the blue lady around the park trying to steal her panties is classic.
