I always lose my shit when Rod Steiger flips the Martian off after being shrunk. In fact, I love every line he says in that movie.

Popeye doesn't belong in this thread at all. It's supposed to be about movies that are bad that you love. Popeye is by no means a bad movie. It may not have been what people wanted at the time for a Popeye movie or a Robin Williams vehicle but it's a good movie.

I will cop to liking Hudson Hawk, though...or would you rather be a fish?

Yeah, I don't think Popeye really belongs in here. I would never begrudge somebody for finding enjoyment out of something that odd, especially something that was propositioned as mainstream entertainment. Just the fact that Altman was in charge of what would surely, at least in this day and age, be something squarely aimed at kids is what kills me about Popeye.

Although the whole Popeye mythos has always been fucking weird to me, even when it was dumbed down for Saturday morning cartoons.

On the subject of what is considered lesser Altman, I've always loved O.C. and Stiggs, but I don't want to consider that bad taste. I think it's a gem.

Not sure if its generally considered a bad film, but a lot of my friends all but spit in my face when I tell them I love The People Under The Stairs.

Also, Mystery Men (although I wince every time that fucking Smashmouth song plays)

I'll also admit that Event Horizon is a movie I enjoyed. PWS Anderson really, really ought to listen to whomever in the fuck he listened to during the development and shooting of the first half of that movie more often. He might actually be a decent director if he did that.

Dirty Work and Blades of Glory are my weaknesses in comedy.

I was sort of tempted to list James Gray's body of work here since most of the people I've mentioned the films to on this board and off it think they're bad but--no, fuck it--they're good films.

I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise, it's obviously a love it or hate it kind of movie. Just pointing out that loving it isn't totally unprecedented or shameful. It's got a cult following.

Not a dig at you, Dan, but this thread makes me realize once again how much I hate the use of the term "cult" in regard to discussions about a movie, series, album or any other entertainment product.

Today everything is sold by the use of cult. It is just such a lazy and generic term that is void of any actual meaning, but is mostly used as a substitution for the "the cool kids like it!" kinda hipster argument.

It's not void of meaning though. It simply means that while a lot of people either don't like it or haven't seen it, there is a small but devoted fanbase. I kind of don't feel like writing that out every time I'm talking about a cult movie, which I guess could be construed as lazy, but that's why words exist. What word would you prefer people use when discussing that type of movie?

The Yards is a bloody solid film. Anyone who says otherwise needs to really defend that shit.

I was rather referring to the use of that term in general, but you surely have a point in case here since it explains itself from the rest of your post. Though I think that my points is still valid in the larger picture. I often take the use of word "cult" for an entertainment product as lazy, because it sells to the lowest common denominator where everyone can surmise everything he wants to fill this term with meaning one pleases (I have heard countless people referring to Avatar as a cult movie now). Basically it is PR speak for me.

That does not mean that "cult" can and should be very well be used as a term when one fills this blanket statement with meaning by stating what exactly constitutes the "cult" factor.

Highlander III: The Sorcerer. It's pretty much a clone of the first film. But the Japan locations in the opening sequences are great and Deborah Kara Unger may be the most attractive of Christopher Lambert's co-stars.

Also War Inc. Though that may be my Grosse Point nostalgia talking.

Also Legally Blonde, both 1&2 - I own them. They both have the most fabulous merits. In the first one, she solves a murder trial by the rules of perm maintainence. And in the second one, she gets Congress to pass a bill eliminating animal testing for cosmetics (oh, dare to dream), and Bob Newhart adopts her dog's mom, which turns me into a weeping bitch. And no, I'm not spoiler-tagging for the Legally Blonde movies, you can just deal with it.

Oh god, I have to rent this now. I'm already cracking up in anticipation.

And there's nothing bad about Mars Attacks! Nothing. "They blew up Congress!" will always be funny! The boyfriend and I rented that as our Christmas day movie. After opening presents and cooking up a big hearty Christmas breakfast together, we then spent the warm afterglow of Christmas morning watching alien brains explode to the tunes of Slim Whitman.

And Death to Smoochy? A big yes. A resounding yes! If Greg David carries out his diabolical poison gas plan, you'd likely find my cold, lifeless body with a mouthful of unchewed popcorn in front of Death to Smoochy.

Of the ones mentioned so far:
MYSTERY TEAM (which is pretty much one of my favorite movies)
ID4
THE BEACH.

I like MARS ATTACKS, but only the first twenty minutes or so. After that it just gets boring. Did like the gleeful violence though.

Oh, and I'm the guy who likes all three MATRIX films. I've watched RELOADED more times than is mentally healthy.

That's the joy of Popeye. It's so an Altman movie. He put his stamp all over what should have been a very borng, mediocre, straight forward adaptation.

Death to Smoochy is an unabashed classic. Williams needs to do more work like this, and everything from the Ice Pagent Mafia to the punch-drunk superfan creates a unique, rich world you don't see often, even in more serious films.

Glad to see EUROTRIP get some love here. Killed me when I saw it in theater, and it holds up on repeat viewings. Best is the morning after they've all gotten bombed and the twins end up making out. Everyone's sitting there completely miserable and the camera pans over to Cooper, who has the biggest smile in the world.

Some people don't see how I can prefer EUROPEAN VACATION to CHRISTMAS VACATION, but some people can suck it.

Over the Christmas holidays they were showing Deuce Bigelow European Gigalo (the second one) on TV, and I legitimately laughed at it. Maybe it was because I was watching with a best friend who I hadn't seen in a long time, but I enjoyed it. So low brow, so retarded, but I found it funny.

As for the Scary Movies, I definitely love the first one, and I remember watching the third and not hating it. All I can remember from it is a funny scene that went down at a funeral wake involving the dead body though.

I'll echo the love for Not Another Teen Movie and Knock Off too.

It's a really good scathing of the awful Costner film. I still laugh at the very thought of Little John drowning in the creek. Also, Chappelle.

That reminds me, I like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Costner's butt, Rickman, Morgan Freeman chucking a sword into an old lady, Christian Slater with a half-assed British accent, Michael Wincott, blind Richard Harris, random Sean Connery. Come on, that movie's loads of fun.

I enjoy exactly 2/3rds of Smokin' Aces. The movie completely falls in on itself on a stupid twist about a character nobody gave a shit about, and its not half as cool as the makers of it seem to think it is, but damnitt, there's some fun stuff in there. The very definition of style over substance.

Speaking of, I was in heaven with the first 20 minutes or so of Versus. It got tedious and repetitive towards the end, but when that wacky group of Yakuza and our black trenchcoat wearing hero put aside their differences to fight them zombies, only to engage in an epic knife fight right afterwards, well...I was looking like the Cheshire cat at that point, my grin was so big.

EDIT: Oh, and as for Dirty Work...

"So he's dead.

The end."
