Your Favorite 'Cheesy' Movie...

You know those movies that are so overblown and silly, with big casts and millions in special effects that you admit are very stupid...but you can't turn off...

One of my favorite stupid/great movies is The Rock (96)

That cast, those explosions, Navy SEALS invading Alcatraz and dialogue that The Bard himself couldn't write...
'I love pressure, I eat it for breakfast'

I can't turn this crap off when it comes on!

What's your favorite cheesy movie?

[–] aliensalmon (5317) 5 years ago

Speed
Terminator 3

Do they have to be big budget action flicks? Because my most favorite cheesy movie of all time is Bachelor Party.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73920) 5 years ago

No, any silly film you love counts atomicgirl (great handle btw:)

Bachelor Party was really funny and the 'R' rating gets extra credit from me... the big studios don't have the guts to make very many sleazy, funny, R rated comedies anymore, which is a damn shame

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The studio can't really make movies like that anymore because HIV/AIDs and all of these social problems pretty much ruined the sex farce. I guess that's why I'm so fond of Bachelor Party. That was the period right before the you-know-what hit the fan and sex stopped being fun and harmless.

A damn shame really...we seem to have lost our humor in America
I grew up in the age of AIDS, me and the boys were well aware of the risks...We all turned out fine (several of the boys are overweight and bald now but whatever)
All of those girls are just fine too though many of them look 'matronly' and quite heavy now:/

Teen Sex-100
AIDS-0

I love the raunchy 80s sex comedies...they seemed so outrageous then but are quite quaint now

Fine list!

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Wolverines!!!

[–] R_Kane (15828) 5 years ago

Both Red Dawns, Laura? I would agree with that.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I've only seen the original.

[–] Stratego (29599) 5 years ago

Speed is pretty silly and doesn't make a lot of sense, but I consider it one of the best action movies ever.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73920) 5 years ago

Agreed on all counts
A legendary cheesefest

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Amelie (2001)

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73920) 5 years ago

Python is legendary and deservedly so
I've never seen Amelie but I'll look it up
Thanks Quasimodo

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Your welcome. 'Amelie' is a French comedy starring Audrey Tautou as a kind of over-the-top kind hearted do gooder.

Dr Strangelove (1964) is another one.

Last night I watched movie called Getting Lucky about a high school nerd who finds a leprechaun trapped in a beer bottle. I first saw it back in the 90s on USA Up All Night and it was so bad and cheaply made that I couldn't help but enjoy it.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73920) 5 years ago

I looked it up, turns out I never saw it
Sounds good though, I bet there were plenty of boobs and sexy girl butts and corny jokes...damn, I miss movies that were sleazy and fun

They make 'comedies' now but only if they are not offensive to a hundred different demographics and safe for all audiences...By which I mean comedy films are gasping the last breath:/

Independence Day.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (73920) 5 years ago

YES!
Some of our lovely posters may have missed my point (and perhaps I fouled it all up by explaining it very badly lol) but Independence Day is a fine example
Gotta love a dopey movie they spent $100 million to make that winds up being lots of fun!

[–] Catbookss (13664) 5 years ago

Not because they're overblown with big casts and millions in special effects, but for other reasons, Jurassic Park (all of them), The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I don't care, I enjoy them anyway!
