I need some help with the name of this movie. This is all I know about it but from what I remember it's pretty awful. Sean Connery with a Burt Reynolds mustache wearing what I think is some sort of red bikini?
Stratship Troopers Trilolgy:
1st = get drunk and yell along with characters in movie, awesome flick.
2nd = So we're a horror movie about psychics and bugs that take over people? Okay, cool. Has its moments (namely Captain Dax's last stand, the Sergeant taking revenge) oh and for the oh so epic "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "Murderers don't go home!" lines (sorry, only in German)
3rd = What am I watching? Religion as a weapon? Cool... Oh look, the brainbug from the first one, oh no wait he just died. Has some good on the ground scenes (giant killer robots), an awesome themesong themesong as sung by their Sky Marshal and a planet explodes in the end.
Armageddon:
It really is terrible if you break it down, but there was a time when I was without cable TV and watched it like a dozen times. I really enjoy it, mainly for Lev and his insanity, Bruce Willis just being Bruce Willis and Aerosmith is easy to listen to. Let's also not forget that it is a Michael Bay "masterpiece" meaning EXPLOSIONS!!!!
Undisputed Winner is "Star Trek 5--The Final Frontier". For evidence of how much fun you can have with this crown jewel of lameness, may I humbly suggest this site right here.......http://www.eskimo.com/~rkj/MST.html
Basically, some guys did a spot-on "impersonation" of the "Mystery Science-Fiction Theater 3000" show, played Star Trek 5, and made funny comments about it throughout the thing.
If you die without seeing it, first thing that happens when you get to Heaven is God calling you a loser.
Well, theres a reason Disney won't release "Song of the South".
Oh, and they totally ripped of Kimba the White Lion with the Lion King.
I understand about Song of the South. I think it should be released for historical reasons (just as I oppose censoring "Birth of A Nation" ) despite the racist overtones. But I'm aware of those racist overtones. They're disgusting, but those were important films. I'm not seeing anyone trying to stop sales of "Gone With The Wind" DVDs. From what I hear, the portrayal of blacks in that film was worse than SOS.
I've never seen "Lion King."
But c'mon! Aplle Dumpling Gang! There's nothing bad there. Good clean wholesome fun--and really funny!
If we go for mindless action movies, my favorite would be The Fifth Element or The Thirteenth Warrior.
I wouldn't call 5th Element a bad movie by any stretch. It has a lot of good dialogue, some very nice cuts, and a variety of other things going for it. Matter of fact, I'd place it up near the top action movies, in terms of overall quality, up there with Aliens and Hard Boiled. Now, yeah, action movies aren't Citizen Kane, but that's okay, because most people don't want to watch Citizen Kane anyway

Honestly I don't care if SOS is released or not. I personally find it repugnant, but admittedly, it may be because I grew up with a lot of racist TRIBBLE thrown in my face. I guess I'm a bit sensitive about it. I've never seen Birth of a Nation or The Apple Dumpling Gang. Heck, my wife was appalled when I told her I had never seen the Goonies. (She went out, bought it and made me watch it).
But movies so bad they're fun to watch...heeheee...try "Skinheads: The Second Coming of Hate". Or "Tougher than Leather" (with Run DMC!!!). Wait, don't try them...both of those movies sucked. But believe you me, if you watch Killjoy bring a friend a 6 pack.
Or try Future War or Space Mutiny. I saw both w/o the MST3K treatment....but if you watch the MST3K versions, they will soften the blow.
Hmmm I guess the Godzilla movies. In particular, Final Wars entertained me immensely. It's what I point to when someone asks what is "over-the-top".
edit: Heck, even the soundtrack is wild!
I know there's one obvious choice just out of my conscious thought.... what is it? Cherry 2000? Nahhh....

I have the MST3K treatment of Future War on my Netflix instant queue and saw Space Mutiny when they showed it on TV years. Those guys can really take the bite out of those stinkers
Speaking of which, those guys also did Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. That one was strange
Arnie: *holding some poor shmuck upside down over a cliff* remember when i promised to kill you last?
Poor Shmuck: that's right Matrix (yeah that was his name! LOL)! You did!
Arnie: I lied. *lets go*
best. scene. ever.
A movie where it's shameless one liners were only outdone by it's insane bodycount.

Indeed. To paraphrase just a few:
Arnie: "Excuse my friend, he's dead tired."
Arnie: "It's about time you let off some steam."
Girl: "What did you do with poor shmuck?"
Arnie: "I let him go."

Pumaman, he flies like a moron!
It's like a train wreck, you can't help but to watch it and see what happens next.
its wrong on every conceivable level...and i love it.

And yes, it was aweful.
what has been seen can not be unseen.

Thank you that was bugging me.
and I have another one, Evolution. The reason they fight aliens with Head and Shoulders.
Terrible, but in a good way.
or any other Pauley Shore movie....
You've obviously never seen Killjoy.

And this one always makes me grin with silly enjoyment for some unknown absurd reason.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes:
B-Rate gold. I really can't think of any reason to dislike it.
Then again I was always a B-Rate fan, so I am kinda bias.
kicking 80s soundtrack, cheesy plot, robots, clones, cavemen, sandpeople, dinosaurs, and flaming greatswords - all in one film. :P
If we go for mindless action movies, my favorite would be The Fifth Element or The Thirteenth Warrior.

Now that I'm an adult I know which stories they are based on and well... Can't even write half of it without breaking the forum rules.
Even "The Apple Dumpling Gang"?????????????????????????????????????????????????
That was the very definition of funny!
Well, theres a reason Disney won't release "Song of the South".
Oh, and they totally ripped of Kimba the White Lion with the Lion King.
I have to agree with both of those.
Awesome cheesy movies.
"Space herpes! Now we'll never get rid of them!"

Mainly because it's not about what people think.
Which is why I have that for my avatar
That is one of the films that is just the best when you're a kid but find it terribly funny as an adult
