It's the only thing i do that reliably makes my old man laugh. My neighbahood was Irish, Italians and Lituanian Jews, so i picked up a li'l as a kid. Used to do a JackieMasonish weatherman on my radio show yrs ago, so i've improv'd it a lot. As to the Dad connection - my folks picked me up at the airport 1st time i visited em after my wife died, i didnt want to talk about Mary or my drug prob or anything on the 3-hr drive to their house and i was high as a kite from snorting the last of my supply on the plane and for some reason i launched into a spiel in that accent and didn't stop the whole way. Ever since, the old man looks at me a soitan vay @ a meal and i launch (it usually starts with me saying "i'd like anudda von a dem, but if i have a second, i'll hafta have a toid") and he laughs nonstop for an hr, which is like medicine when youre 90.

Wild Wild West is so over the top it that I find it fun to watch.  As far as Will Smith summer blockbuster movies go, I'd watch it over Independence Day any day.  

Plus you had Salma Hayak's derriere.

spinoff from the Oscars thread ... which Razzie winner was the best?

the award originated in 1980 - Here are all the winners, along with the other four nominated flicks per year. 

i gotta go with "Mommie Dearest" (1981) - campy shtick done oh so gloriously. Faye Dunaway rulez   :wub:

what say y'all?

:popcorn:

OUTSTANDING thread idea.  

Gotta say the Razzies do a much better job identifying suck than the Oscars do at spotting greatness.

I'll go with Under The Cherry Moon because I like the music in it  a lot.

not a huge fan, but ... how it "lost" to ####### "Caddyshack 2" is beyond my understanding  :lmao:

Good point.  Cocktail is formulaic "Tom Cruise as a talented but cocky [insert occupation]" that was more forgettable than bad.  I remember sitting Stone-faced through Caddyshack 2 wondering, "who thought this would be funny?"

I must have watched Stroker Ace 100 times as a young kid.  I developed a strong hatred for any dude named, Aubrey.  I've never actually met a dude named Aubrey, but if I did I'd surely punch him in the face.

I remember getting SO MAD at Aubrey when he stopped driving his own race and kept cutting off Stroker.  Seemed so unsportsmanlike.

My brother in law bought me the second Transformers DVD for Christmas a few years ago.  It still has the cellophane wrapper on it today.  That is how bad the first one was.  After that #### show, I politely declined the ones that followed.

I watched like 35 minutes of one of them and contemplated injecting drain cleaner into my eyeballs.

No syringe handy, though.

 
For me, Road House doesn't belong on this list.  Daulton and Wade Garrett squaring off against Wesley?  C'mon. That's awesomeness.

I saw both "Howard The Duck" and "Leonard Part 6" in theaters when I was in high school, so I feel qualified to rate them both from the perspective of a typical teen moviegoer.

"Howard The Duck" was a decent movie. "Leonard Part 6" was the worst movie that I've ever seen (and I saw "Ghost Dad" when it came out, too).

Howard the duck kicked ###

 
There are quite a few movies on that list which I like. Just looking at the "winners" my ranking would be :

Indecent Proposal - Not the best movie of the year, but hardly the worst. Had an intriguing concept and I'm a sucker for Demi Moore. 

Striptease - Not a bad movie. Funny in parts, Burt Reynolds is great. Could have used more nudity. 

Showgirls  - If one of my pubescent crushes spends that much time naked in a movie, it's a good movie to me. 

Bolero See above

The Last Airbender - I liked this movie, though I hadn't seen the cartoon until afterwards. It was slow at times, but an enjoyable watch.

Pretty much anything TNT puts on after a West Coast NBA game is Razzie-proof: Road House, Youngblood, Bloodsport, Red Dawn, Above The Rim, etc.

Wasn't Star Trek TFF the one where a middle aged Uhura is doing a fan dance?  :shudder:
Click to expand...
Yup.  NO question there are some horrible moments (that being close to chief among them) and the overall plot is terrible, but it's still a Star Trek movie.  It's fun in many parts and it's always good to see Shatner, Nimoy et al. on screen together, to see the Enterprise, etc. 

 
I'd go with Indecent Proposal.  I would have paid a million bucks to bang Demi Moore back then too.

i can't guarantee the check wouldn't bounce....

 
Yeah, there are some guilty pleasures on that list, but not much I would actually argue about.  IMO the only one that really sticks out that shouldn't be near this list is Blair Witch. 

Some others that I enjoy on one level or another and would watch if they came on:  Road House, Last Action Hero, Newsies, Big Daddy, Ford Fairlaine, Cocktail. 

I think the biggest whiff is Batman and Robin not winning in '97.  That has to be one of the worst movies I've seen - just terrible. 

 
I hated Indecent Proposal.  Though I think much of my dislike is related to the girlfriend I had at the time.  After seeing her reaction after we walked out of the movie theater that night, I'm pretty sure she would have taken the money.  Later, she did take the money, by breaking up with a brokeass college student (me) for a guy that had a full time job.

She's fat now.

Well . . . any Star Trek movie, even TFF, is better than a lot of movies for my money just because you get the enjoy the characters, the Enterprise, etc.  Also, I . . . really didn't dislike The Postman as much as many people.  Also, Breaking Dawn Part 2 was not great, but it was tolerable, and certainly not the worst movie of that year.

Didn't see Breaking Dawn but agree with Star Trek V and Postman weren't that bad, Postman being the better of the two.

Ford Fairlane.  If you were a Dice fan, then the movie was funny.  Most critics hated him so he got the Razzie.

i can get with that  :thumbup:   and, not for nuttin'  ... i think it was better than Stern's "Private Parts", which i thought was as bad as anything listed up on here.  it just wasn't universally panned by critics because they were scared ####less of Howie and his bully pulpit :shrug:

and i love Stern, been listening since the WNBC days, but ... that flick was not good.

Yes.  I am a huge Stern fan but most of the crew's acting could best be described as deer in headlights.  Private Parts did have a lot of redeeming...ummm...,scenery

When Mommie Dearest was in heavy rotation on HBO, my sister and her friends got a little obsessed with the flick.  It was on a LOT.  I don't know if they all hated their parents at the time or what.

Joan and Bette has become a staple at the Mom's house recently. Feud or something. Chicks love this ####.

Only saw a couple eps and never cared for Jessica Lange, but she Joaned the hell out of Crawford, who may be Hollywood's strangest beast. She was three distinct people during her career - in early talkies, she hadnt a clue and just ran around and fawned and mugged and smothered Clark Gable or whoever with kisses like she was a Gilda Radner character; in her middle period, she played a lot of Hollywood's first strong & complicated woman roles in very interesting ways; then that scary eyebrow period of asylum pix & slashersoaps. I ignored the latter as a kid and thought Mommie Dearest exaggerated the eyebrows for affect, but TCM shows those flicks now & then and her arches are so big i'm surprised her nose wasn't drive-thru. Anyway Lange played the hell out of the Grand Dame Of Screendom that Crawford was trying to pull off at the same time she was making movies like "Who Nailed Sally's Head to the Floor?". Feud is too soapy to binge but worth checking.

I just realized something...

My 14-year-old and I have a running joke about all the movies we've seen where she read the book first and I haven't: all the Harry Potters, Hunger Games, Divergents, Maze Runners, Percy Jacksons... it's a really long list.  Meanwhile, the only two movies I could think of where I read the book first (outside of a school assignment where we read the book in class then watched the movie) were Moneyball and The Big Short.  

After reading this post, I realize I have to add "Private Parts" to the list.  One of the three movies I've seen as an adult where I read the book first was the ####### Howard Stern autobiopic. :lmao:

Any time you see me try to pass myself off as an intellectual here, feel free to bring this up to knock me down a peg.  I'll have it coming and promise I won't contest it.

I'm not a Stern fan, but I enjoyed the movie... found old him playing a young him particularly funny.

but yeah- I'm not all hoity-toity like some in here... didn't read the book before or after.
