How could they leave off Hawk the Slayer? It had Jack Palance hamming it up, ping pong balls and silly string as special effects, a remarkably short giant and a remarkably tall dwarf, really amazing crossbow and archery work, and cheesy dialogue throughout. Might have been a TV movie, so that could be why it was overlooked.

Dune and Showgirls are the only 2 I’ve ever seen.

Dune was horrific. I walked out on it when the inflated guy was flying around the room.

Showgirls was great. I never got why it was bashed so completely. Sure, Showgirls was a B-movie but a great one. It is in my collection and I rewatch it regularly.

I guess I’m nuts.

Valley of the Dolls is so bad and cheesy it’s good. Especially Patty Duke chewing up every scene she is in.

No wire hangers ever!!

Faye Dunaway said that role ruined her career.

As the holiday season approaches I must ask, where is “Santa Claus Versus the Martians?”

Anyone else remember “Tarzoon - Shame of the Jungle”? It was a crude, hand-colored cartoon movie starring Johnny Weismuller, Jr. as the voice of Tarzoon (Weismuller Jr. was mentally handicapped and was exploited shamelessly for this movie).

Tarzoon gets kicked out of the treehouse for not being able to keep Jane satisfied, and it’s all downhill from there. John Belushi also had a very weird part in it. Some parts are so juvenile that they are actually quite funny - like the penis monsters that shake and shoot globs of goo at their enemies.

I caught it in a theater when it first came out, and it was yanked up and buried shortly thereafter (because the Weismuller family sued IIRC).

Terence Hill...SuperFuzz. One of my favorite movies as a kid. Absolutely ridiculous, but great.

I will add “Forbidden Planet” to your list of lower budget sci-fi films that were very good.

Fully agree! The Trinity movies were great.

I don't know whether to yell "DAMMIT!" since you beat me to it, or laugh out loud because I had the same thought! See post #196 & ENJOY! :-)

There was also a live televised version of Casino Royale made in 1954 and saved on a kinescope recording. I once saw a screening of it at the University of Southern California after which Barry Nelson, who played James Bond, gave a presentation.

Yes. That movie was shown with “The Groove Tube”.

“Billy Jack” was so bad I was rooting for the rednecks.
