Graeme, I couldn't agree more about Spinal Tap. On a scale of one to ten, this film rates an eleven!

Bill, tgo

Funny how often bad movies get discussed, and never any good ones. (Not counting those that defy both categories, of course.)

Sam, you walked out on Blazing Saddles? I absolutely love Mel Brooks films! Just goes to show I guess.

I thought Closer (is it Closer? With Julia Roberts and Clive Owen?)was appalling, and wasn't even saved by Natalie Portman, something I thought impossible. Coyote Ugly was one I turned off part way through, despite Piper Perabo. Triple X is terrible. One of the best bad films I've seen was some old Tarzan film which had loads of miscellaneous footage grafted on, in some parts in B&W (the film was in colour...or possibly vice versa, I can't remember). That was hysterical. I love all the Roger Corman/Vincent Price stuff though, those are actually some of my favourite films. The Ed Wood stuff is great fun too. 1,000,000 years BC is certainly in Barbarella territory; I love both. My personal favourite bad film is Wacko, one of the earliest film spoofs that I've seen. I love that film.

And specially for Adriaan, some of my absolute favourite films; the LOTR trilogy, American Beauty, the Natural, The Shawshank Redemption, Ben Hur, Spartacus, Field of Dreams, King Kong (any), Jason & the Argonauts, The Great Escape, Kelly's Heroes, A Fistful of Dollars, ET, Star Wars, The Fifth Element...and about a billion others.

That kind of answers my question about why they don't get discussed. In the words of someone who didn't stay here too long: it's all good.

Blazing Saddles is a Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bart: Are we awake?
Jim: We're not sure. Are we black?
Bart: Yes, we are.
Jim: Then we're awake, but very puzzled.

The scene in Blazing Saddles that did it for me was the campfire/beans scene. Just a bit outside of my sense of humor. And the ending was pretty odd. I know, if I walked out how did I see the ending? So many people raved about it I gave it a second chance.

Some like REM too. Some don't care for Jack Bruce. I'm not sure who Adrian is referring to but it's all good sums it up nicely. That's why there's so many choices.

Shaun:

You're hijacking my thread with your good movies! However you may stay as I believe you inadvertently listed a classic bad film. When you listed King Kong (any), surely you forgot about the 1976 Dino Delaurentis fiasco with the big fake monkey carrying Jessica Lange up the World Trade Center. I wish I could forget about it.

Bill, tgo

Blazing Saddles - great film, perhaps among Mel's films only second to Young Frankenstein:

What hump?

Boy, what knockers!

Q: Whose brain did you get?
A: Someone named Abbey, Abbey Normal

So, if the monster got some of your brain, what did you get? OH SWEET MYSTERY OF LIFE...

Putting on the Ritz!

Bill, tgo
