I cannot express how much pure giggles I get off of the sublimely sophomoric flick **The Black Knight **.
It is so stupid, yet entertaining.
I feel dirty.

Ishtar
Although widely reviled as one of the worst films, I think the film has been unjustly maligned because of its outlandish (at the time) budget.
The stereotype swapping - with Dustin Hoffman as a ladies man and Warren Beatty as the shy nerdy guy - played very well, and the scenes where the two of them worked on their nightclub act together were hilarious.
I think everyone just watched the movie trying to figure out where all the money got spent.

I love Grease. I don’t care what anybody says.
Don’t get me started. ***Ishtar * ** is a good movie. Not great, but better than most Ebert thumbsuppers.
***Showgirls * ** is in my lifetime top ten.
None of the following films received the critical response they deserved:
***The Last Action Hero
Made in Heaven
Stone Cold
Hudson Hawke
Willard * ** (2004)
***Starship Troopers * ** (and all of Verhoeven’s)
The Edge
. . . I’m sure I’ll think of some more.
Ruadh, I’m with you I love Grease. I also love “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” which is this incredibly dorky 80’s dance movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt.
This straight guy enjoys Pretty Woman.
Quit snickering.
Godzilla 2000. Just to watch the Big Green Guy stomp all over all of Devil and Emmerich’s “blockbuster” movies.
I loves me some Last Action Hero.
I’m totally with you on Grease, and somewhat embarrassingly, Grease 2 as well. I can’t help it.
Hudson Hawk is one of my all-time favorites, if only for the line “Look, you Eddie Munster-looking motherfucker …”
I’m also going to have to go with Explorers, which is perfect in a triple-feature with Goonies and Monster Squad.
I own a 99-cent copy of Zapped that I got from the Blockbuster Clearance Sale. And Tank Girl.
The crowning jewel of my collection, though, is probably Sleepaway Camp.
Hello, My name is Mausmagill
“Hello, Mausmagill.”
I’m a grown man who likes Hienlein books, and who also enjoyed the movie “Starship Troopers”.
Fandango staring the much maligned Kevin Costner and Judd Nelson.
I am always lookin to be a Girl for All Seasons for some Cool Rider, so I am with you on Grease 2, Draelin!
I’m usually pretty snobby about the movies I watch, but one of my all-time favorites is Up The Creek, a Porky’s/Animal House ripoff, starring people from both movies. Unbelievably well-written for such a cheapie. Very funny.
Count me in as another fan of Starship Troopers. Also, I’m totally into a lesser-known action/sci-fi flick Six-String Samurai.
Dammit, it was a good flick!
I don’t care what anyone says. My all time favorite movie is Dirty Dancing.
Nobody puts Baby in a corner!
Making Mr. Right - John Malkovich as an android AND a scientist. What’s not to love??
High Spirits - OK it’s bad - but it’s also unbelievably funny.
Last Action Hero - Good movie.
Hudson Hawk - Fantastic movie.
Six String Samurai rocks. “Nice shoes. Nice shoes to die in.” You can’t buy dialogue like that.
I also gives Ishtar a thumbs up. I liked that show. I liked that show when I first saw it. EVERYONE hated that show. It was the laughing stock of the world with everyone bashing it and I felt that I, alone, liked it. Not even my friends admitted to liking it.
The Blind camel.
The actual songs they sang…whoever really wrote them deserves a hand! Magnificent bad songs.
The translator scene.
The dying in the desert scene.
Many more!
I also very much liked Starship Troopers. I was driving home from work and the radio DJ was making fun/angry comments/whatever he’s heard from other media blasting the show. People were calling in with scathing comments on it. All of a sudden, several calls came in from younger (<30) males talking that the DJ really needs to see it and that ‘it rocked’. Was it a good show? Perhaps not…but it rocked!
Oh! Oh! I remembered another one!
The Last Boy Scout
Particularly for this exchange:
Bruce Willis: (being held at gunpoint) Hey, man, I farked your wife.
Pimpy-Looking Black Dude: Heh heh…yeah? How’d you know she was my wife?
Bruce Willis:: She said she was married to a big pimp-looking motherfarker in a hat.
My Boyfriend’s Back
The best zombie movie ever!!
