Not to spoil it, but those are goblins
“Nilbog! It's goblin spelled backwards! This is their kingdom!”
But yes it’s the Oh My God movie.
Here’s a good history on it, basically they knew it was such a turd they branded it a sequel so someone would watch
An Oral History of 'Troll 2', the Best Worst Movie Ever Made
How a horror about vegan goblins, written and directed by Italians, filmed in Utah with a largely Mormon cast, became a cinematic sensation.

“Michael Stephenson: One year later, on Christmas morning, I unwrapped a present and it was this VHS copy of Troll 2. Looking at the cover, I was confused. I just remember my mom saying, ‘Turn it over, it’s your movie.’ Sure enough, I turned it over and there was my face screaming on the back of it. We put it in the VCR player and, seconds into it, my dad said, ‘Oh boy, Michael, this is a terrible movie.’”

10 per day may be good, especially if it’s only in the evening. That way movies don’t get lost in the shuffle.

Ain't no one got time for that.

makes my top 100 despite its flaws...just a ton of fun and estevez' take on Billy the Kid is super entertaining.
Hot Take: The Sequel is as good as this one.

This probably doesn't make my top 100...have probably watched it 3 times.

Not gonna lie, always had this on my overrated list although it would make my top 200.

I had to make sure we had some dramas mixed in with the garbage from the other two guys.
This easily makes my top 100...maybe close to 50. Gross oversight from the original rankers.

Not in my top 200

You don't like me? I don't like you. Dats just da natcha of da way tings woiks. One of my favorite movies period... And one my favorites to quote. Beautifully filmed... Weirdly but well acted and a deceptively amazing soundtrack and a still gorgeous Dunaway despite trying to play shabby drunk. But I get tired of thinking of all the things I don't want to do,. Things I don't want to be... Glider pilot, narc, save the whales... all that. Hey Eddie!
I didn't think Barfly would get picked... Thanks for that.
Fantastic movie. Oldman in a whole other level. Both of these would be in my top 50.

Interesting that your overranked movies are driving the list this far

First movie posted so far that made my list (75). I thought we would get some heat for it missing but I guess people just don’t like this movie much. Can’t believe it ended up this low here too. It’s definitely a corny almost comic book version of a gangster film but I find it charming.

Ahem, it's NIMH.
I really dig this one, and it's was a favorite of mine as a kid. I will admit that I didn't dig too much through the kids/animated movies and I know there will be some gems like this coming up. Great start. Looks like it's on Tubi, and a perfect 4.20 watch.

1. I should have thought to link to the trailers in our countdown.
2. You should consider posting if they are available streaming somewhere.

Hell yeah!. I had this on my list. I know many vampire movies also try to, but this one managed to mix in some sexiness with the laughs and scares. Great creature effects, and I loved the idea of the cheesy horror host. Also Evil Ed rulez!

Somebody is missing Back to the Future 3 on their list.

It would have been in the next wave of 100 probably. Very good, just not what I typically gravitate to .

I know this isn't what they are doing here, so I won't keep saying it, but I didn't find that many held up when I was watching them in the last few years. I know Scoresman will throw out a couple gems, and I still had 5-6 on my top 100 that didn't make the overall list like Fright Night that I am sure will show up.

Love it, and it's in my next 100. I had to cut it off at 3 Scorsese movies, I have a rep to maintain.85 (tie). Color Of Money

I agree that a good chunk of the '80s horror films were from the early part of the decade trying to capitalize on the success of Halloween, but there are a few big ones that have held up and we may see.

I might have to agree with you. Instead of watching BTTF for the 1000th time the other night when I posted our #1, I popped in Part 2 and was a bit disappointed. It picks up at the end, but the front part is surprisingly dull, IMO and I get irritated with the characters like Marty's son and Griff.

DIfferent approach for sure, but a blast to start off with. But yeah, I am fully comfortable with the list we presented.
These two in particular I can't remember if I even watched. After my post above, I will probably stop looking to see if they are streaming anywhere. Of the 10 or so I looked at 3 were on Tubi and all the others it looks lIke I am getting some embarrassing titles through the library next week.
NIMH, Toxic Avenger, and Troll were on Tubi.

For sure but if they think I’m not going to give them **** about some of these movies, they are sadly mistaken.DIfferent approach for sure, but a blast to start off with. But yeah, I am fully comfortable with the list we presented.

Love love love this movie!!!!

The continued charm of Escape From New York is the soundtrack, cheap effects, and great characters.
Donald Pleasance was perfect as The President.
Issac Hayes as The Duke of NY
Romero!!! Brain!! Cabbie!!
Ox Baker as the goon that Snake had to fight in the Garden….classic flick. Yeah it looks dated today….but it is a top 5 Carpenter flick easily.

I actually liked Young Guns II more lol but still….fun Brat Pack Western.

Higher on my list much higher and I loved part 3 a ton. Being a huge old Western movie fan (especially Spaghetti Westerns) I simply cracked up with part 3.

Could just be a blind spot for me. I struggle with a lot of John Carpenter movies.

Yeah stunning…..a staple of my 80’s
Movies and Costner became a bonafide star after this flick. Connery was da man in this one.

Definitely an acquired taste.

I watch it anytime it’s on. Just a fun flick that could not be made today…..and that is freaking sad in of itself. One of the best “fish out of water” comedies.
