Let me take a movie-watching bullet for you.

Fine, Captain PickyPants :stuck_out_tongue:
I want you to watch Glitter
Do Not Irk the hardy…

You know, at some point we’ll need to narrow this list down to no more than 4 movies, max, cuz there’s no way I’m watching more than that and having reviews for all of them by the weekend.

I’m gonna start the paring of the list by removing Mitchell (sorry Guin darling). Since I own the MSTie version of that on DVD, I’ll be too biased to take the movie seriously at all.

Hardygrrl’s suggestions got booted cuz she’s seen the movies, therefore is not curious about what the movie is like, she just wants to subject me to the same hell she went through watching the movies. Also knocking off film types where no specific film was named (David Lynch and Pauly Shore), we’re left with:

The Blue Iguana
Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies
Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
Ishtar
Hudson Hawk
Event Horizon
The Dish
Yes Madam
Freddy Got Fingered
Battlefield Earth

Now I’ve already seen Ishtar and Event Horizon, but both were years ago and I’ve forgotten most of them. So those stay on the list, since I’d have to re-watch them to tell anyone about them.

And since I’m the one who has to watch these, I’m a bit curious to see what the deal is with Hudson Hawk myself (I’ve heard conflicting opinions on that one), so that suggestion gets bonus points.

And I doubt hardy has any real curiosity towards seeing Glitter (since she finished her post with a line about “irking” her, I get the feeling she just want to torture me), so that one isn’t making the list either. :wink:

the dish is actually quite enjoyable, but i definatly agree with the practical magic comments, however i would like to add my vote to stop! or my mom will shoot - Sly in his best acting role (although I’m only guessing)

Too many grandmas - ‘faster grandma, grandmas gaining on us’ (sorry couldn’t resist) - classic simpsons

I’ve had some curiosity about Glitter, but not enough drugs to make me follow through on it. :smiley:
Who else says he has to watch Mariah Carey try to act? Who else says he has to watch a Lifetime For Women rejected script?
Glitter, Glitter…

I think you should watch **Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies **. I’d like to know what’s going on behind that incredibly cool title myself.

For all that is Holy, please take The Dish out of this list of crapola. It shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same thread with dreck like Ishtar and Freddy Got Fingered (and so did I after watching that fucking movie).

Any reason the two movies I suggested were left off the list?

I’d like to see your take on Ishtar. All I ever hear about it is how it’s such a terrible movie, but I have one friend who swears it’s great. It seems like he’s the only one in the world who doesn’t see it as a punchline for comic strips.

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about “Master of Disguise,” but I’d like to know if it’s “So Bad It’s Good” or just “So Bad It Should Be Buried in a Shallow Grave.” Please advise.

peepthis…Master of Disguise is a truly horrible movie. I can’t begine to find the words for how bad it was…it’s only redeeming quality was the outakes during the credits…which were better than the actual movie.

I’m kind of curious about Ishtar myself. Is it really that amazingly bad, or is it just an ordinary bad movie that seems worse because it has talented stars?

Manos: The Hands of Fate. I’ve always wondered just how bad that movie is.

Don’t bother with Battlefield Earth. It’s been done to death. We’ve all read 100 reviews of how bad it is already.

I’d like you to watch The Adjuster. I’ve heard different things about it, I even rented it once but never watched it because of my ambivalent feelings regarding it. I’m not suggesting it in the spirit of most of these other movies, forcing you to watch something terrible. I just want somebody’s honest, unbiased critical opinion of it.

Re: Manos.

It’s its own category of bad. It’s not good. It’s not so bad it’s almost good. It’s so bad that the people that made it actually seemed to be trying to make a good one, except they had no talent. The only cast member with a hint of talent (Torgo), died (some say a suicide die to his involvement with Manos) soon after it was made.

It’s that bad.

So now we have:
3 votes for Ishtar
2 votes for Stop or My Mom Willl Shoot
2 votes for Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (but remember when voting, I’ll have to be able to find these movies)
And the rest of the list (with featherlou’s suggestions added, cuz I somehow missed that post last time):
The Blue Iguana
Hudson Hawk
Event Horizon
The Dish
Yes Madam
Freddy Got Fingered
Battlefield Earth
Perfect
Staying Alive
The Adjuster

As for Master of Disguise - I’ve already seen it. No, it is not good. You may like the film if you’re 4 years old, but then you’d be too young to fully appreciate Carvey’s take offs of Robert Shaw as Capt. Quint from Jaws or Al Pacino in Scarface. It’s basically a vehicle for Dana Carvey to dress up and do silly voices. I pretty sure this film entertained him more than it entertained any audience. It is not “So Bad It’s Good.” It’s just bad.

I’m also gonna make a new rule, and disqualify any film I’ve seen a MST3K version of, since having that in the back of my mind will surely influence me while watching the movie.

Another suggestion: Highlander 2

Actually, Event Horizon doesn’t do too badly as a space horror movie. Just don’t go in expecting Alien.

The Monster That Challenged The World. I ran across it at my local Blockbuster once, and have always regretted not picking it up. All I remember about it (other than the title) was that the description mentioned something about giant molluscs…

I heard Torgo was a drug addict, too, and that his dad was really abusive.
Oh, Crunchy, you know I love you to bits, I just thought of the movies that came to mind first.
BTW, why would Mitchell be out, hardygrrl? :wink:

And if a movie makes you almost hate Goran Visnjic, then that’s a guarantee it’s bad. Goran Visnjic is probably the sexiest thing ever to roam this planet, in the past or present.*

*[sub]Except for you, Crunchy, babe[/sub]

I’d like to nominate Son in Law because I hate, loathe and despise Pauly Shore, and my sister says I should watch it because it’s “Pauly Shore’s good movie”, and I want to know if she’s being serious or if she is just trying to kill me.
