After reading a review, I actually had to watch The Country Bears, to see Christopher Walken dance around a model of the Country Bears theatre while smashing it to bits.
Just having him play the villian in a Disney movie is strange enough but that scene was hysterical.
The rest of the movie was, in fact, painful to watch.
…curse you…
Damn it man! Now I have to go to Netflix and change my queue! 
Truly awful, D-grade movie that even the Scifi channel wouldn’t play till three in the morning, Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies. THe kind of movie you know that everyone involved was–
A) more desperate for work than they ever thought they’d be
B) being blackmailed
C) changing their name and going into hiding afterward.
Production values about half a step above Manos, Hands of Fate. In it, Satan–or some minor demon, I forget–manifests in our world, and ends up in jail. (No, seriously.) Where he goes about getting people to promise him their souls in exchange for favors. So this inmate, asks a favor–I forget, something evil; kill another inmate or something–then goes, in bargaining mode, “So what do you want?”
And the devil guy goes, “Your soul . . . and a pack of cigarettes.”
I tell you I about peed.
The swimming pool fucking scene and Ninja Nipples Nomi stomping the Rockin’ Rapist were almost enough to redeem Showgirls. Almost.
Red alert! lissener-baiting! smacks Otto’s nose with a newspaper Bad Otto, bad!
It was a coincidence, I swear!
OK, so it wasn’t a coincidence, lissener’s name on the last post reminded me of Showgirls, but I said the exact same thing about the movie long before I knew of lissener’s…intense…interest.
Travolta’s character spends all of Battlefield Earth trying to accumulate gold. At the very end: he ends up trapped inside Fort Knox! All that gold but he can’t do a damn thing with it.
I heard lissener-baiting makes you go blind and grow hair on your palms. You were right to smack him with the newspaper. 
The opening scene from the original Highlander was really good with the Queen music, the wrestling match, and the sword fight in the parking garage.
After that it pretty much sucked (sorry fanboys).
The wheat toast scene saved **Five Easy Pieces ** for me.
Totally agree. The opening sequence was immense, all the more so for knowing that my grandfather was there. To me - a brutally honest and emotionally charged sequence. Rest of the movie was ho-hum in my mind also.
The girl climbing out of the TV in The Ring – the only time in that snorefest that something actually happened !
The use of a tiny lightsaber to slice and toast bread in The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy .I always knew somebody would think of a good use for the things.
The part in the new “War of the Worlds” where the refugees are all walking, the train gates go down, and a train zoom past, out of control and on fire, and then is gone and the gates go back up. No one screams or says a word, they are all just stunned.
It was a very cool way to convey just how bad the situation was.
You know, I came in here to post the exact same thing, and this is pretty much sets the standard for great scenes in awful movies.
Along the same line, The Born Losers is mostly dreck except for when Billy Jack
shoots the leader of the bike gang right between the sunglasses, points the rifle at the biker beside him and says something to the effect of “Now you’re in charge.” Billy’s demands are met very soon after.
I thought the same about apocolypse now , after the village was erased by the choppers , blah

People always talk about the “opening scene” of Saving Private Ryan, but they are usually referring to the Normandy invasion scenes.
Which are not the opening scenes of the film.
The opening of that movie is indeed one of the most powerful scenes in the film (or any film). It is when the old man (James Ryan, we find out at the end) is walking through the American cemetary in France with his family, and falls to his knees in front of Captain Miller’s headstone. It knocked my for a loop, and still does every time I see it.
A nitpick, I know, but it’s important to me.
This is a major plothole in this movie. Seeing as how the Matt Damon character wasn’t even there for most the scenes he is “remembering.” How can he flashback to the D-Day beach invasion when he wasn’t there in the first place?
That’s not really a plothole since the film isn’t flashing back through the memory of Ryan. If that were the case, the movie would’ve followed the younger Ryan around rather than concentrate on Captain Miller and his platoon.
