Bad movies that you have an inexplicable soft spot for 1. Xanadu 2. Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar 3. Independence Day 4. 2012 5. “Last Night” (and “Double Happiness”). I was in love with Sandra Oh years before she was “discovered”, and appeared only in low-budget Canadian films… 6. Patrick Swayze’s sublimely ridiculous Road House just adding the overlooked entry. I will never _admit_ to loving a bad movie. ---
