John Waters’ “Pink Flamingos” and “Female Trouble”.
Starring everybody in Hollywood who wasn’t busy that weekend and your only chance to see Michelle Pfeiffer stuff emeralds up her rabbit hole. 
Flash Gordon is a romp! I think even Queen got into the camp. The camp was embraced.
Amazon Women on the Moon – send-up of movies, especially 1940s-1950s films. It’s a hit-or-miss film that looked as if it wanted to be a new Kentucky Fried Movie, but didn’t quite make it. The funniest bit, by far, is The Son of the Invisible Man starring Ed Begley Jr.
Speaking of which …
Kentucky Fried Movie – the first film by the team of Zucker, Zucker, and Abrahams, before they made Airplane!, and apparently based on their stage show. If you don’t like one skit, you’ll probably like the next. The best is the sendup of Bruce Lee, A Fistful of Yen.
It Came from Hollywood – a collection of clips from LOTS of bad movies, with forgettable “bumper” segment starring John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, and Cheech and Chong.
Zacherley’s Horrible Horror – direct-to-video collection of Bad Film Clips hosted by 1950s and 1960s horror film host Zacherly, whose segments are worth catching. Watching these two films is as good as watching a good episode of MST3K.
Atomic Café – legendary documentary about the politics and response to the atomic bomb and the H bomb. It consists entirely of clips from TV, US government films, news shows, and the like, with no narration. The film makes its points with its editing and juxtaposition of images. well worth watching – funny and scary at the same time.
Flesh Gordon is even funnier. Its basically a soft porn comedy and very funny.
Let me add the following cult classics to your John Carpenter film festival:
They Live
Assault on Precinct 13 (the original, not the remake)
Escape from New York
Worthy for the AC/DC soundtrack, if nothing else.
Some older films:
Logan’s Run
A Boy and His Dog
Miracle Mile
Willow
Death Race 2000 (the original)
Napoleon Dynamite
The Station Agent
Rock & Roll High School
The Dark Backward
Spirit of '76
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Stubbs. I miss my dog.”
“They wouldn’t let you take your dog?”
“He only answered to his name.”
“What was his name?”
“Fongool.”
Man, I haven’t thought about that one in years. I’ll have to dig it up and show it to my wife - she loves Joan Cusack.
My recommendation . . . well, it might be a bit divisive, and is definitely not for the easily-offended. One of my all-time favorite movies is Forbidden Zone. It’s notable for being the first movie Danny Elfman worked on (his brother directed it), and for being a huge influence on Paul Reubens and Tim Burton. It’s also notable for being incredibly offensive and weird, but it deliberately takes to so far over the top that, at least for me, it loops back to being funny again (it also helps that everything’s a target, including the filmmakers themselves). Think John Waters meets the Fleischer Brothers with a soundtrack by Cab Calloway and Oingo Boingo, and you won’t be too far off.
Short version: if the first minute turns you off, don’t keep watching, 'cause it’s all downhill from there.
Mr. Chang did not work as a stop-motion animator on this film. You don’t have to take my word for it, or even IMDB, which lists him as “special photographic effects” and four other dudes as “stop motion animator (uncredited).”
We have Mr. Chang’s own words as to where the stop-motion credit belongs:
You understood what was happening?? I found it fascinating to watch, but I can’t pretend to understand it as anything other than peaking in on someone else’s nightmare. I can’t believe it wasn’t mentioned sooner myself.
Prof. Konrad: “We don’t know how fast we were traveling. Nor, how long we were unconscious. But, of one thing I’m sure of. This is Venus!”
“Queen of Outer Space”, 1958, starring Zsa Zsa Gabor
Absolutely, unreservedly second this one.
The Discworld adaptation? 'Cause I have to admit I was a bit disappointed by it, especially after they got Hogfather so gloriously right.
Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death
Bill Maher pretends he can act! The only really redeeming value of the movie is that it was filmed in my back yard (almost.) The “jungle” is really the Botanical Garden at UC Riverside. In several scenes I’m in a classroom about 150 feet off camera. Was interesting to observe, and the TA of the discussion group just gave up and joined us at the window to watch.
If you’re willing to consider anime films:
Interesting. Michelle’s name has been removed from the IMDB page for this film.
Only the “Primary Billing” page. You can still find her listed if you click “Complete Cast.”
I can understand why she would like this film to be forgotten.
I love that movie; it’s great fun.
Big Bad Mama, a Roger Corman-produced, “Bonnie and Clyde”-influenced exploiter that features a jaw-droppingly explicit sex scene with William Shatner and Angie Dickinson
Sugarland Express, Steven Spielberg’s theatrical debut, with a great performance by Goldie Hawn and inexplicably among the most obscure of his many films
The Long Goodbye, with Elliot Gould as a modern-day Philip Marlowe; one could pretty much do an all-Robert Altman suite of cult films but this is one of my favorites, along with California Split.
I recommend watching Jim Jarmush movies in chronological order, starting with Stranger than Paradise (Permanent Vacation might be difficult to find) and up to at least Dead Man.
