I cast "Raise Dead Film"

[Barendd Nobeard]

Another favorite of mine:

Creepshow

Just got it at Best Buy in a $12 Creepshow/Altered States DVD 2-pack.

After all, Father's Day is this weekend.

"It's Father's Day and I want my cake!"

The first TMNT movie – They didn’t abuse the comics too badly in this one. The 2nd movie was a crime against humanity and the 3rd was a half-hearted apology for the 2nd.

Huh. Loved the first one, hated the second one, and so never bothered with the third one. I'd heard it was worse than number two.

I'm going to nominate Battle Beyond the Stars.

[sigh] When I was very young, I saw She-Ra, Princess of Power. For years, I remembered it as being fantastic.

Then, maybe ten years later, I saw it again.

Oh dear. Some illusions aren't meant to be interacted with

Queen of the Damned has been on HBO lately, so I have to add that to the list. It was pretty bad but I see it in an almost Army of Darkness like light.

Hmm this is easy. Bachelor Party with Tom Hanks. Its still a silly, midless 80's party flick, but Tom Hanks is funny in it and its got Adrian Zmed and Tawny Kitaen, which can only be bonuses.

OK, so here are some of my more odd faves:

Cemetary Man- possibly the most surreal horror-love story ever made. It was an italian movie, made with English dialouge, and was about a grave digger who ends up falling in love with a corpse. I've simplified things, but it gets very funny, very gruesome, and most disturbing. Loved it.

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, starring Molly Ringwald in her second feature role. It was originally in 3-D, and was the first 3-D movie I ever saw. I was scarred for life, forcing me into an early existence of bad sci-fi movies and brat pack flicks.

I can't believe someone got this on here before me:

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Very good spoof done by Steve Martin.

I'm surprised by some of your movies. Some of them made a lot of money and are considered popular (Mummy, e.g.). I'd hardly consider them dead/panned films.

I also enjoyed Willow. I always look for it in the used DVD section of the various stores. If I'm not mistaken, not a univerally loved or large money-making movie.

I think the problem with [Mystery Men], along with Galaxy Quest, is that people that aren't familiar with the source material (comics, or in GQ's case Star Trek) just didn't get it. My group of friends are divided 50%/50% over the quality of MM into those who read superhero comics and liked it and those that don't read
superhero comics and didn't like it.

I guess it's because my friends are all comic/trek geeks since everyone I know who saw MM & GQ loved them!

All my oddball faves are already listed here.

-Buckaroo Banzai (see my ENWorld title). Still waiting for the World Crime League.

-BTLC (see my sig)

-Mystery Men

-Joe v. the Volcano. A much deeper movie than most people give it credit for. (up until he awakens post-moonrise)

-I'll also throw in Dogma. Many people I know couldn't get past what they perceived as "God-bashing." I thought it was a well-done movie and thought-provoking

Personally, I've never seen how it's supposed to be 'Gawd Bashing'
really. It gives the nicest look at Gawd I've ever seen in a movie.
Usually, in most movies with Gawd in it, he's a real prick. Here,
he/she's a really nice guy/gal.

'Church Bashing', maybe.

The 13th Warrior . Didn't make a whole lot of money, and the only critic who gave it any love was Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly.

I just think it's pretty much a perfect little balls-to-the-wall adventure movie.

Now if they'd just let us see a director's cut from John McTiernan.
