The Obscure, Unusual, or just plain BAD Movie Thread

[mdwyer]

Is it a bad thing that I'm using this thread as a checklist of movies I need to see?

It sure is nice to see that, with your bizarre vehicles, you also appreciate bizarre movies.

First of all, I can confirm that I have seen Shakes the Clown. Multiple times. Quotable. I've got to add Better Off Dead to the list, too, though.

Sci-Fi? There sure is a lot of bad sci-fi out there. I can't believe nobody's mentioned Dune yet! Silent Running had only one thing going for it: those cool little dune buggy-like things. But if you're really looking for cheesy bad Sci-Fi, you just can't beat Dark Star. Dark City has a special place on my DVD shelf, though.

Horror? Not really my thing. But I think Ginger Snaps is a riot, and the whole Resident Evil series is a lot of fun. I'm generally fond of zombie movies.

Obscure. Yeah, I like obscure. Check out Divorcing Jack some time. Or Boondock Saints or Run, Lola, Run, but stay away from the sountrack on that last one -- it causes speeding tickets. Thursday is a lot of fun, too, but good luck finding a copy of it!

Amelie. See it. Trust me.

Geeky? Sin City is pretty good, and I like Sneakers -- it keeps my copies of Hackers, Swordfish and Johnnie Mnemonic company. To round out the geek fest, I've got to throw Ghost in the Shell on the list, too.

Finally, I have to admit to really enjoying Dude, where's my car.

I love all Jackass DVD's, season episodes and ALL CKY's. And Brandon "Bam" Margera's movie "Haggard" Also I enjoy all Steve-O DVD's.

Bart, I agree with Slither. My new fav genre is horror comedy. Since Cabin Fever ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303816/ ), those films are always on my MUST SEE list. Cabin Fever, by the way, is extremely fun to watch and Cerina Vincent is simply one of the finest women to ever see the big screen. I mean cmon, she was the yellow Power Ranger!

Anyways, I liked Slither so much I had to add it to my HDDVD collection.

To add another crappy flick, Superman Returns. Sorry, but Smallville kicks the crap out of that.

Yeah, Cabin Fever was decent, there was some really funny stuff in there. But Slither, yeah, its part of my DVD collection now also. And this just reminds me of another film that I absolutely loved: Ravenous

Its certainly not for everyone, but man, I loved it. Its quirky enough, and violent enough to make it a really unique story. And the cast is just great. I highly recommend it.

Agreed. Amelie is quite possibly the greatest all around film even made. It doesn't matter what nationality you are, what color you are, how old you are, man or woman, where you're from or anything. This movie is spectacular.

I would say it is on my top 5 list forever.

PS - If you liked Amelie, make sure you check out Jeunet's other films, especially the ones he did with Marc Caro, like Delicatessen! Just fantastic stuff! These guys are both superb directors.

Amelie. See it. Trust me.
