Jesus Christ Superstar. Andy Warhol coined the word superstar, but Tim Rice brought it into our vernacular. ---

Okay, my _official_ choice: [_Pterodactyl Woman from Beverly Hills_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110910/) Like _Snakes on a Plane_, it’s what it says on the can. Look at the cast: Beverly D’Angelo is said PWfBH. Barry Humphries in multiple roles. The late great Brion “Let me tell you about my mother.” James. Ruta Lee (“Who?”. Exactly.) Moon Unit Zappa because why not? It’s a classic so stupid it’s fun (at times) movie. (The writer/director also did _Howling II: … Your Sister Is a Werewolf_. Sadly he also did the third film in the series but the title is merely “Howling III”.) ---
