I cast "Raise Dead Film"

[Zeddan]

Hudson Hawk, people either seemed to like it or hate it. Most of the critics seemed to hate it, and it did lousy at the theaters. But it's one of those movies I can sit and watch at any time.

Ditto, great flick. My Dead Film Pleasure is The Last Starfighter.
It reminds me of my childhood.

Loved "Adventures in Babysitting..." The Blues scene is a classic.

Along the lines of "Fly Away Home" is a film that I liked a lot called "Night Train to Kathmandu" starring a very young Milla Jovovich. Set in Nepal, and involves looking for "the Invisible City"...

Another guilty pleasure was "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" which had a lot of double entendre and was a very funny flick.

I am shocked shocked SHOCKED no one's mentioned Fifth Element yet. I cannot for the life of me comprehend why so many people hate this movie. I thought it was very imaginative, if simplistic story-wise. And I'm a sucker for Gary Oldman in villain roles.

And George Lucas should have to pay Luc Besson royalties for the speeder chase in Episode II. Everyone I went to that with said it looked just like the cab chase in Fifth Element, complete with somebody jumping through the traffic.

Okay here are my four:

Mystery Men - You have to love Pee Wee in this movie!

Hudson Hawk - I love Bruce Willis singing while stealing!

PCU - Not to many people like this, but I can watch it over and over again! I just wish it would come out on DVD!

and.....


Goonies! - How great is Super Chunk?

I hadn't looked at page 2 when I posted above. I absolutely loved The Last Starfighter when I was a kid! That movie was awesome! I love that big death ray attack!

Hair is another film I like that almost no one has seen (or liked). Maybe it's just the songs. Many of which can not be quoted here, for fear of offening Eric's Grandmother.

Saw it, loved it.

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

I was about to mention "Fifth Element" when I mentioned "Night Train to Kathmandu", but didn't for some reason. There are a couple guys in my gaming group who couldn't stand it, but I loved it, myself. I'm a sucker for Milla, I guess.

Another neat, extremely obscure film is the french film "Le Chevalier Sur Le Toit" ("The Horseman on the Roof"), which is set in the 18th century, and involves a french cavalry officer's escapades through France. Cool adventure flick, somewhat reminescent of "The Brotherhood of the Wolf" without the mystical elements. Or martial arts. But it has Juliette Binoche, so it all evens out.

I forgot it! I love this movie. One of the first movies I bought on DVD.

I'm going to duck out of the SF/Fantasy genre as well and point up Waking Ned Devine as one of my all time favorite movies. My wife and I have seen it at least half a dozen times and we almost never rewatch films. Everyone else we've shown it to has pretty much dismissed it with a shrug, and if memory serves, it didn't receive many accolades amongst the critics either.

Cecil B. Demented - Terrorist film-makers kidnap Melanie Griffith and make her star in their underground movie.

Steven Dorf can do no wrong! S.F.W. and Entropy (and of course Blade) are also awesome!
