A movie I would like to see (fictitious)

Benji meets Adolf - the pit bull rottweiler mix.

[fortunecookie]

You can't say 'awesomely bad movie' without topping the list with these 2 gems.

By far, imho, the Awesomely Worst Movie is Battlefield Earth starring it's 'creator' John Travolta:

and a close 2nd, you guessed it, another Travolta doozie, Swordfish.

My apologies to Don Cheadle, who was somehow roped into this one...

[fortunecookie]

Thanks! I had, until now, managed to wipe from my memory this 'wonderful' ... film. ;-)

Any movie with Steve Guttenberg is bad to aweful with the exception of one or two films such as...ummm...errahh...ummm



One movie I saw back when we first got cable was Can't Stop The Music (I had to look up the title on IMdB). The movie featured Steve Guttenberg and the Village People. I watched about five minutes and puked. This movie was eclipsed only by Police Academy IV which made me leave the theater demanding my money and the money of the investors.

[fortunecookie]

I hereby claim first place in the bad-movie thread!

Sorry, that place is mine! ;-)

I agree that Gigli in the top three, but, as mind numbingly awful as it is, it is still not as bad as:

[fredhead]

[PBRSTREETGANG]

You're right about Guttenberg. (Although I actually thought Cocoon was OK.)

[Starter]

Plus, it's a musical.

[Millee]

OOOoooooohhh I love those toothless baby grins! She's a beauty BJ! :o)

[sully777]

Another Michael Douglas dog of a movie. This was so bad I was laughing in the theater. Memorable serious line from Melanie Griffith: "I knew it was Saturday because it was Friday the day before"

[BJClinton]

She just got her immunization and that completely whacked out her sleep schedule. Other than that just peachy.

[BJClinton]

Cold day in hell...

[BJClinton]

Yup. Must've gotten it from her mother.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Your baby is beautiful!

[sully777]

Sorry, I meant no offense. I actually wanted to post Thank God It's Friday but the quality was horrible.
