Ah, that is probably the prime example I was unconsciously thinking of, but when I did my search, I only searched 1980-1990. Edit: which, upon checking, means that the entire search is useless because Airplane was 1980 and evidently just doesn’t have the “breasts” keyword.
Nitpick: the jello scene doesn’t have bare breasts, it’s the “By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?” panic scene.
There’s a sight gag (jeez, that sounds redundant when talking about this movie) of a dish of jello jiggling as they go through some turbulence, then the camera shifts and shows more jiggling.
My husband and son recently watched The Comedy of Terrors and thought it was hysterical. Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone…what’s not to like?
Another vote for The Haunting. Holy crap, that terrified me as a kid. And I guess this observation belongs in the thread about music you can’t help associating with the film it appeared in…Night of the Hunter and the hymn Leaning on His Everlasting Arms. ::shivers::
I actually really enjoyed Wes Craven’s Cursed that came out a couple of years ago. It’s sort of the Scream of werewolf movies, though I actually liked it better. It’s not a great horror film, but it’s funny, has some spooky moments and a surprisingly sweet love story. Even if you end up hating it, it’s still entertaining!
I know everyone’s been anxiously awaiting results: Our department voted from a slate of 9 candidates (not only submitted by me) and ended up with a tie. Night of the Lepus and Killer Klowns are in a runoff vote.
Klowns it was – and it was just about perfect for the occasion. Plenty of cheesy action, no real sense of menace to be deflated by people making random comments about it.
Next year, though, I’m really going to flack for Monster Squad.
