I personally liked a few because I thought they were great movies but they never did well in the theatres and quickly wound up in the $4.99 bin at Walmart. Two that immediately come to mind are...
Master and Commander (always holding out hope that somebody does the sequels)
and...
Waking Ned Devine (and I loved this one)
Howard the Duck
Armageddon
The Last Avatar
“The Fountainhead.” I was on the floor in hysterics after watching the first few minutes and knew I was going to love it. It’s one of the great unintentionally funny films of all time and provides an interesting primer on Ayn Rand’s objectist philosophy at the same time.
Here is just a taste of the brilliant dialog:
Hargo: What's soft and round and you put it on a stick and you toast it in a fire, and it's green?
Kimar: I don't know what?
Hargo: A Martian mellow.
Great stuff...
Tokyo Zombies
Billy Bathgate w/ Dustin Hoffman
The Pendragon version of War of the Worlds. Very true to the book, yet practically unwatchable.
Damn straight!
Fantastic Chiodo Bros production.
“Choose Me”
(but for best appreciation of its subtleties it helps if you’re at least a little bit drunk while you’re watching it, otherwise it’s just another poorly-written, poorly-made, low-budget movie)
Caddyshack II
Howard the Duck
Mars Attacks
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
Ratboy
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
These were some that I enjoyed with my daughter when she was a young teenager. We laughed so hard we cried!
Wrong Turn, Jeepers Creepers, Dark Man, The Punisher, O Brother Where Art Thou
Stone Cold, staring Brian Bosworth, was a tour de force of comically bad acting. I loved it.
I am quite fond of the Japanese 50’s cold war monster movies, such as “The Claw.”
I am also a fan of hokey old movies.
Amazon Women on the Moon
Was The Road Warrior a bomb? I thought it was very successful. Now beyond Thunderdome (3rd part of series) on the other hand was absolutely awful. Mad Max and The Road Warrior were just plain awesome though.
