I have taken a lot of heat for enjoying this movie. 

Reminds me of how much I enjoyed Heat.

Reminds me of how much I enjoyed Heat.

My dad's had a sick sound system set up when that movie came out. The bank robbery shoot out was amazing on it.

I have taken a lot of heat for enjoying this movie. 

I have watched that movie more times than i can remember. I used to love going to my cousins house because he had the last dragon and big trouble in little china on beta.

Who is Jim Kerry?

Harry's brother.  

 

[Underachievers]

I tend to like dumb comedies like Down Periscope and Sgt. Bilko.

Down Periscope is hilarious.

 

[Mister CIA]

I need to watch Ishtar again.  As I recall, it loudly panned back in the day, but it happened to be the in-flight movie on a long trip. I thought it was hilarious, but my opinion was probably swayed by the bottomless bottle of wine. 

Note for my memoirs:  Cathay Pacific business class rocked in the 80s. 

 

[Mister CIA]

Down Periscope is hilarious.

Big fan.

 

[Galileo]

Maximum Overdrive

 

[IMAX 3D]

No idea if most people consider this a bad movie-too lazy to check RT- but I LOVE Starshp Troopers. Love the campiness. Just an awesome movie. And it has Doogie Howser (sp?) in it!

Jist watched it again yesterday for like the 5th time. So awesome.

Hancock




 

All good movies. This one might not count because it IS a cult classic but...Army of Darkness.

I'm entertained by most movies so I probably watch a lot of films that aren't acclaimed.

Can’t Buy Me Love

I think most fans of '80s teen movies like this quite a bit.

[rockaction]

Varsity Blues and Youngblood are two panned sports movies that I absolutely love. 

 

[jon_mx]

Who is Harry Kerry?

Jim Kerry's brother. 

 

[zamboni]

Youngblood 

I put this in the camp of movies that critics hate, but regular people tend to really like. Similar to Airborne.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Ninth Gate is awesome.  Love movies like that.

one of my favorites, I watch it at least 5-6 times a year

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I think most fans of '80s teen movies like this quite a bit. 

Amanda Peterson was so very hot

 

[dhockster]

Zapped starring Scott Baio and Willie Aames

A great 80's T and A movie

Agreed. That's why we all know the African Anteater dance when we see it.

 

[zamboni]

Agreed. That's why we all know the African Anteater dance when we see it.

And we play cards with the tards.

I don't like NASCAR.  

I don't like Tom Cruise.


But I LOVE Days of Thunder.

Last night we stayed up to watch a movie and I showed my husband this thread since we couldn't think of a movie. He says "Days of Thunder, we have to watch it tonight." 

So when I asked him what it was about, he said "Ricky Bobby, but a little more serious" 

So I thought what the hell, Talladega Nights had a couple of funny parts. Days of Thunder is awful. I fell asleep 45 minutes in. How can a movie have so many good actors and suck so bad?

I did wake up for the last 10ish minutes and now have the painful memory burned into my brain of Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall having a man crush moment with each other, before embarking on the worst foot race I have ever seen.

Arthur 2: On the Rocks - this was Dudley Moore's magnum opus.

This sounds a bit like some of your NBA analysis; "I don't really understand what I'm watching and didn't really watch all of it, but I'm going to give my baseless opinion anyway."

People taking some liberties with the definition of bad

What's the baseline?  Sub 50% on Rotten Tomatoes?  I checked there for Days of Thunder before posting.  38% there seems bad, right?  

Not sure on Cable Guy tho...

 

[nirad3]

Can’t Buy Me Love

Definitely.  Haven't seen this in far too long.

No idea if most people consider this a bad movie-too lazy to check RT- but I LOVE Starshp Troopers. Love the campiness. Just an awesome movie. And it has Doogie Howser (sp?) in it!

Jist watched it again yesterday for like the 5th time. So awesome.

Oh for sure.  I think the campiness was fully intended.  I wouldn't classify it as "bad" really.

10 Things I Hate About You (The Taming Of The Shrew)
 

YES!  Absolutely loved Julia Stiles.  Just something about her.  

“A California skateboarder (Christian Slater) solves and avenges the death of his adopted Vietnamese brother.”



Love. This. Movie. 

Filmed a lot of this at Woodbridge High in Irvine, CA.  Not sure how I know this.  Local HS.

Varsity Blues 

Ahhh don't wahhnt your laaahhf!

Welcome to the ignore list.  Party of now two.

Higher Learning?  So over acted and so over the top and yet.....so wonderful to me. 

 

[JuniorGong]

This thread got me thinking about the largest difference on Rotton Tomatoes between the critics score and audience score. First movie I thought of was Boondock Saints and I think it is going to be tough to find one with a bigger difference. 20% for critics, 91% for audience.

Love this movie.

That sounds good.  I would go with the audience rating though.  #### the critiics, they don't know ####.

Pretty sure there is already a thread dedicated to this
