I'm going to do a series of posts about, like the title said, movies so cheesy, so bad, so devoid of any artistic merit that they're actually good.
Kicking things off, I'll start with the classic 1989 "dude" movie Road House, starring the incomparable Patrick Swayze.
He clearly wanted to put his Dirty Dancing WAYYY behind him with this piece of pure cheese. Fights, T & A, Corny lines, cardboard villain, this movie had it all.
And how many of you went around calling your friends "Meho" in a Sam Elliot voice after watching this. I know I did.
Meho.

Aw jeeze, don’t get me started. So many to talk about. Can’t get my mind to settle on just a few. So many genres and sub-genres, different decades and levels of ‘bad’, I just can’t...
well, off top of my head, here’s a couple batches of different levels of the kinda crap I like to watch (in the right frame of mind):
*Anthing from the fifties starring Mamie Van Doren—High School Confidential, say, or Reckless Youth. But then, can any flicks featuring appearances by Jerry Lee Lewis or Eddie Cochran be considered ‘bad’? Uh, yeah...but they’re such fun.
*Elvis. He’s the King...of bad movies. I not talking classics like Jailhouse Rock or his concert flicks, but bottom of the barrel stinkers like Live a Little, Love a Little, and Clambake. But, bad as his movies can be, they usually feature a couple of performances that remind you why the big ‘E’ was such a badass.
*This is might be my ‘80s youth speaking, but how about the entire Cannon Films catalogue? Stuff like Revenge of the Ninja, American Ninja, and Bob, Carol, Ted, and a Ninja? (ok, I made that last one up).
Ok, lemme go think up some more...

Elliott was great in this.

I know the movie is ripe with eye rolling moments, but the one thing that bugs me the most is Kelly Lynch's Doctor character, aka Swayze's Love Interest. She has the emotional capacity of a handball. When she DOES show emotion, it's grossly misplaced. In once scene, she screams at Swayze like HE'S the bad guy. Pshaw. |

Every time I see a list of "best bad" movies, Mommie Dearest is on the list. I never really thought of it that way, but I guess it's true.
That "No wire hangers!" scene scared the hell out of me as a kid. Now I can't keep from laughing when I see it.
I read that the other cast members were actually afraid of Faye Dunaway after this.

By all means, make a new thread about that one. That movie was one big histrionic fest.
