Strange Brew

Strange Brew-- good call.

Oh, God -- Comvoy. Why did somebody have to go and ruin a good song by making a bad movie out of it?

Come to think of it, they did that a lot in the '70s, didn't they...?

Heheh. Yeah. Isn't that great?

2 things.

Blazing Saddles was not a bad movie. C'mon Z'boy, lower your standards a little, eh? For a Mel Brooks film, History of the World, Part I was much worse.

A good place to troll for the worst would be Rotten Tomatoes. Hmmm. Looking at it now -- it appears it's morphed some. Maybe there's a "worst of the worst" section in there someplace.

For the record, I absolutely loved History...

Maybe I shouldn't use the term "bad"--but, on the other hand, I can't exactly say that they're the height of movie art, either.

I'm stumped.

And where does Airplane fit in?

I don't have any suggestions, only dumbfounded confusion.

Strange Brew and Blazing Saddles in a list of bad movies?? I don't know what to say. I'm stupefied. Strange Brew is like Canadian Shakespeare. Afterall, it's based off of Macbeth (albeit very, very loosely). What about Bachelor Party? That was a bad one!

I'm with Jed and Corey on this one. You cannot call Blazing Saddles and Strange Brew "bad" movies without moving the beer tally in my favor. Period.

However, Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit are fair game. But don't even think about speaking poorly of Terry Bradshaw...

Spaceballs,
Young Frankenstein
The Muppet Movie

All of these are great movies and deserve to be on any "bad" movie list. (Of course you did mean "bad" = really cool, awesome, right?

OTH, there's always Valley Girls.

Corey, Bachelor Party sucked. I actually like a lot of movies that I would call "bad", but that one is just really, really bad.

"Canadian Shakespeare." That's perfect.

Remy, Valley Girls is in that same category. The other three you suggest, though are definitely in the right direction.

Logan's Run?

Logan's Run is classic SF. I actually consider it to be very good. On the other hand, there's always Forbidden Planet. This is another classic SF movie that is also very good, except that I can't take it seriously since it stars Leslie Nielsen. If you are talkin' about Airplane and Naked Gun then you must throw in Forbidden Planet for completeness. All that much easier since I own the DVD!

Oops. Forgot to close the italics tag...

Fixed.

Forbidden Planet is a good call. And that first Naked Gun was one of the funniest damned movies ever.

There seems to be some difference of opinion of what a "bad" movie is...
None of the movies on the list are actually "bad" as in "unwatchable", and why would you want to watch them if they were?
No, I assumed that "bad" meant "lacking the typical qualities of a good movie", and I think the suggestions ZB accepted bear that out.. Personally, when we do something like this, we call it "Quirky Movie Night", but that's just me.

Another suggestion: The Man With Two Brains.

Precisely. It shall, from now on, be known as "Quirky Movie Night."

"To be or not to be" by Mel Brooks
I think it might have been the first movie that he acted in.

I hope it's not too late to get this suggestion in:

Ski School. Hell, how could a movie with Booger from that Kirk Cameron sitcom not be good? Don't answer that.

One trick for those who like alcohol-you need to play a little game when you are watching it. There is a character that has no lines, but gets a ton of screen time. He wears a neon pink hat. Everytime he flashes up on the screen, take a drink. It gets ugly (and makes it a watchable movie)

If you can find it, and don't mind adding a horror flick to the list, rent "The Sentinel."

Trust me.

"Labrynthe"
with David Bowie

Blazing Saddles was the most annoying movie to watch. I fell asleep everytime R rented it. Anything that stars Leslie Nielson or Jennifer Aniston (I know, she didn't hit the scene until the '90s) is going to be just ridiculous. I suggest Blue Suede Shoe. It will make people (women I should say) rethink Brad Pitt as a consistently good actor (notice, the word "consistent" as Fight Club and 12 Monkeys were extremely well done, imho).

Matt--good call. That's a great movie.

Rae, you just reminded me of another movie I want to see, but I can't remember what it was called. It has Val Kilmer as a secret agent. Maybe it was called "Top Secret."

Speaking poorly of Blazing Saddles is grounds for mockery in this group, you know?

Yes, well, I haven't met many women who are just thrilled to see that movie. Although, I do like Gene Wilder, just not that particular film.

Rae doesn't like Blazing Saddles? Next she'll claim the Three Stooges aren't funny!

"The Last Dragon". Oh...my...god. Very bad, and very '80s. Makes "The Transformers Movie" look like "The Breakfast Club", or something.

"The Warriors": CAN YOU DIG IT?!!

"One Crazy Summer" fits the bad '80s movie night fairly well. Jon Cusack, Demi Moore, and Bobcat Goldthwait. Speaking of which, do you dare watch a "Police Academy" movie?

Then there's the sci-fi: "Buckaroo Banzai", "Repo Man"

Umm... "Red Dawn", "Gleaming the Cube", "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo"?

Or if you want another "good" bad movie a la Blazing Saddles: "Hollywood Shuffle".

And that is "Top Secret" with Val Kilmer. Very funny movie.
