GAIL! I adore that film :) this is also a beloved piece of my memorabilia collection. It was a gift from a friend because he knows of my love for that movie, Duvall herself especially her work on Faerie Tale Theatre.
This was my first thought when you asked the question. What a shambles, but I love it. The way they cut between Olive Oyl singing “He’s Large” to Bluto randomly walking around, I mean the song completely stops then starts back up when they cut back to her getting ready? What a glorious mess
I read an interview with Jules Feiffer that explained a lot about that movie. The biggest surprise for me was that he did not already know all about the characters and had to research them.
He's a charmer in it. Filmed it right before Captain America The First Avenger.
What drove me crazy about it was when the female character supposedly took the train home, without her purse, her stuff, just walked upstairs in that red dress.
Did she leave all her belongings behind in that DC hotel???
Then later she stole the most hoopty car at a wedding to chase after the guy she wants. All I kept thinking was whoever had that car didn't have much money. She abandoned it - to get towed most likely.
My older brother and I still yell "wait for the facking signal!' at eachother in our very best (read: worst) English accents ever since we saw Alien 3 as kids.
It's a terrible movie in many ways, but a guilty pleasure. Absolutely loved Charles S. Dutton in it.
A ha! Finally found another somebody who posted this one! Why do people want to argue about whether it’s messy, I wonder? On my post, too! It’s so messy that the studio couldn’t figure out how to market it.. so they didn’t. And it tanked at the box office even though it’s perfectly awesome.
Yes. And the plot of the game starring Keanu Reeves as a fragmented memory transporting data to an AI to avoid the corporate ownership of it is vaguely similar to the plot of the movie starring Keanu Reeves as a fragmented memory transporting data to an AI to avoid the corporate ownership of it.
Repo! The Genetic Opera is a comfort movie for me. Campy as hell and screams to the world that you’re an annoying theatre kid at heart but I will always have a fun time watching it and showing it others
People shit on this movie today somehow.
I was cracking up over the antics of the Looney Tunes characters, like Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd dressing up like Pulp Fiction characters.
Honestly, I've never read the comics! For some inexplicable reason my dad bought me a VHS of the movie when I was a kid and I imprinted on it like a baby bird.
Bill Nighy is absolutely the best part of that movie. (Arguably he's the only thing remaining after you take out everything regressive, but even so. He's just a goddamn gift.)
I immediately thought of this. I don’t know how OP defines “messy,” but I’ve read detractors slander this classic over and over. To me it’s a joy ride.
You think you've seen Michael Ironside chewing some scenery? Not if you haven't seen this gem. Featuring: "intestines" made of garden hose, a literal flaming skull bouncing across the ground, and physics so bad it makes Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull look scientifically rigorous
I remember watching the first one decades ago and finding it a bit disappointingly dull - but this clip alone raises *so many questions* I think I need answers to.
GHOSTBUSTERS is a Reaganomic fever dream and the main character is probably a date rapist, they skip all the parts of making all their stuff, they just suddenly have it, gotta make room for the ghost blowjob scene from a cut storyline - and somehow it all works perfectly.
I love this movie so much. I remember half the audience left partway through, everyone else just sat there silently, and I laughed my ass off the entire time.
I don’t know if Falling Down is intended to be a comedy. Michael Douglas’s character, this uptight white guy, feels thwarted and put upon by a bunch of racial and ethnic stereotypes. I always find it laughable yet entertaining. So over-the-top.
Another tricky - and successful - adaptation is Slaughterhouse Five. I rewatched both movies recently, a few days apart. Given the narrative structure of Catch, Yossarian can also be said to be unstuck in time.
Here's four recent watches that wormed their ways into my heart. Four silly movies, each technically bad on at least one level. Some luxuriously bad on many levels! Four utter joys to watch that I would recommend to anybody in the world. But only one of them is good.
Sir, may I request that you work with Gail, if she is willing, to not only write for a riff of Billy Jack, but also like be in the riffing? I think the world needs that sort of awesomeness now.
Let me guess: "I can put my left foot on the right side of your face and there ain't a goddarn thing you can do about it". (From memory, it's been decades)
The line "I'm going to take this right foot...and womp you...on that side of your face. And you wanna know something? There isn't a damn thing you're going to be able to do about it" is STILL one of the coldest lines in movie history.
See my home page. 🎶One tin soldier 🎶 & these movies ( 8/9 yrs old when I saw them) adhered to my brain & locked upon my soul we all are one & it’s my duty to stand & defend those who cannot defend themselves.
As well as the entire rest of it tbh. Possibly the messiest film Ive ever seen. The music and general surrealality prolly why I can't help like it anyway but it is a very problematic movie well say
When I was a kid I remember reading the movie listings in the paper (Long Island Newsday) and seeing this , Rocky Horror and Pink Floyd The Wall having midnight showings in different theaters in Nassau & Suffolk County.
Fitting. It's almost like if rocky horror and the wall were mashed together. With a sprinkle of gross bigotry and a general sense of discomfort. I would say they couldn't make a film like this today but 'shouldnt' more accurate. Still, it has a certain draw
A movie that's just a giant allegory for American expansion of the military by showcasing fake vomit as as the struggling stock market and predicted drone training through video games. It's a mad man movie, and I love it so so dearly.
I scrolled down this list specifically looking for people calling out Toys. I recommend it to everyone I meet because it's so incredibly weird and sincere and I've never seen anything like it again.
and LL Cool J is a Metal Gear Solid character in it
I saw this movie for the first time about 5 years ago.
It would have fit right in with the movies released 5 years ago. That's how ahead of its time it was.
This one is a fantastic mess that I will always love. Apparently Dino De Laurentiis wanted to do a more serious take on it but director Mike Hodges went campy
We went to a ComicCon for a photo op with Brian, not quite sure which room he was in then we heard "EVERYONE!!!! SAY CHEESE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
me - "found him"
When I was a kid, I was dragged out of school with some friends to watch a rough cut (blue screen etc.) because one of the dad's was thinking of investing in it. I think it was a Dino film. We kinda shrugged.
So I'm not gonna pretend Kate Beckinsale alone isn't reason enough for me to watch it but Van Helsing really is such a campy 'n fun time by itself I can't help but enjoy it.
I will forever defend the movie Toys with Robin Williams.
It is a surreal and sincere tale that begins with the death of a good king and his kingdom being handed to his War loving brother instead of his naive son.
It was a joint production.
The Italians thought they were making Star Wars.
The Americans and British thought they were making Space Balls.
The translator lied about her credentials.
Queen did the soundtrack.
Literally couldn't be remade because no one realized the mistake until it was done.
This is one of those movies I've never seen but always wanted to, and now i think it'd be better if I didn't... it can't be as good as what's in my head.
1000x, this.
This is the only movie I've seen in the theater twice in one day, both times in 3D IMAX. (just walked out at the end and got right back in line)
It's like, you watch it, and then you say well that certainly was an adaptation of dune. Then your mind goes on to the next thing and it's forgotten like dust
lol, a while ago my friend asked me randomly if I had seen any Timothy Chalamet movies, I think it was around when they were promoting Wonka, and I answered no. About ten minutes later I practically shouted “DUNE!” I watched that dude for hours and totally fucking forgot about it.
This 💯 - I don't care if it's 2am, if it's on, I am watching it, even if I have to go to work that morning. I never understood why Lynch didn't embrace it more. If I'd made this film it's the thing I'd say before hello. 10/10, no notes.
Sure Lynch's Harkonnens are kind of stupid and not really book-accurate but they're undeniably Lynch, every time we're in Giedi Prime you know we're in for an unhinged treat
That movie is Hollywood getting a laugh at itself while still taking our money for what they're making fun of themselves for making. In that way they're making fun of us,but not in a malicious way. It's like they're pointing out how fun it is to be stupid together. I enjoyed it.
It was basically a parody of gary stu action hero movies of the 80's and 90's. But of all the gary stus, Arnold Schwarzenegger was undoubtedly the best and most fun to watch.
It's similar to the 60s Addams Family TV show where John Astin and Caroline Jones played the parts with complete sincerity despite the characters' severe dysfunctions. If they hadn't, it would have flopped.
I love the original show. When it first came out, there was a reviewer that called it a crayon factory explosion (meant to be an insult), BUT it is a crayon factory explosion in all the best ways. It is a love letter to the original cartoon.
This is an amazing film! Misunderstood but it got the point and still nothing looks like it today! It was just oozing in a comic book saturation style!
John Carpenter: The low-rent prophet of American decay.
Aside from Halloween and Starman, he didn't get the credit he deserved until years after films that bombed critically and commercially wound up revered as classics of the form.
So far ahead of the curve that the road couldn't even see him.
Troma's War. Bad acting and not exactly logical, but some great action and social satire. And a movie where you genuinely don't know on first viewing who's going to survive. I also suspect the opening scene inspired Lost episode 1's opening scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVg3wIMG7yg
A French postboy stalks an American opera diva who has ‘never heard herself sing.’ A trafficked woman escapes her captors who include the chief of police. A mysterious man who wears a mask and snorkel to cut onions and lives with a possibly underage Vietnamese refugee rescues everyone in the end.
After stripping Zod of his powers, Superman crushes the bones in his hand and hurls him across the Fortress with such force that gravity doesn't take hold until after his back smashes against the wall. Then he goes to beat the shit out of the truck driver. Definitely problematic. But I also love it.
I will go to my grave unironically loving Hudson Hawk. Fantastically hilarious and absurd movie. Catburglars who time their heists by singing showtunes. My favorite of Bruce Willis' catalogue.
One time I saw Bruce Willis and people were yelling "John McClane" and "Die Hard" and clearly it was just noise to him. I yelled "Hudson Hawk!" and his head snapped around so fast it looked like it would break his neck. I smiled and pointed at him and he smiled and lifted back. We had a moment.
Dragonheart is great! Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Willow, Labyrinth, and Excalibur. I both love my 80s fantasy and love that there's somewhere to go after exhausting the big names.
Timur ended up directing Wanted (2008) instead. According to Wikipedia, he thought directing Dusk Watch (Twilight Watch) after directing Wanted would feel like repeating himself.
I'm afraid to watch it again though, now that I'm quite a bit older than the last time I saw it! But I loved it so much when i was young, and watched it over and over.
"The Keep." It's based on a great book, but the production lost a key effects person, the studio meddled, and the director abandoned the final film. It deserved better.
Kitchen-sink filmmaking at its awkward finest - A bombastic mess of a film with an incredible cast, beautiful cinematography, and a fantastic John Williams score. It was the IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD of the 70s.
The opening scene with the Japanese submariner pointing at the ridiculously contrived situation atop their periscope and yelling “Hollywood!” is really meta, isn’t it?
1941. Yes, it is messy, and it is loud, and it is way over the top, but what can I say? It makes me laugh. I get a kick out of watching Ned Beatty blow the crap out of his house, and the USO dance/fight is as good as anything Spielberg has ever done.
Ok, one out of left field. Casshern (2004) this movie is the reason I decided to go to college for film. It's got CG, Matte paintings, and claymation to do all the graphics. The story is heavy too. Just a unique film that is highly underrated.
It's so beautiful. There were several movies right around that time that seemed to capture the same "atmosphere" & they really clicked for me. This one was the best of the bunch. I think growing up watching Gatchaman also influenced my love for it. Had a similar vibe to it, but darker.
I was dealing with a lot of death when I caught this film. The story probably clicked with me more than my friends. I was also impressed with the gorilla style filmmaking they used to make the film. That's the part that inspired me to study film.
The style was so fresh. Funny enough, I mentioned Gatchaman & that anime inspired my entire art career. So Casshern was def hitting some of those same buttons for me. It's why art is more important that a blockbuster movie. You never know how your art/film will inspire others. Good luck to you!
Prometheus is very underrated in my opinion. People can't get over a few poorly written characters. But I was sad they abandoned the storyline. More unfinished art for the pile.
My objection to "Prometheus" is that it changed the xenomorphs from cosmic horrors spawned in the unfathomable depths of space for whom humans are nothing more than reproductive vectors to rape monsters bioengineered by a robot who was built by an old man who hated women.
Nathan Rabin summed it up best: "No film should subject audiences to two hours of labored duck jokes for the sake of a cool-looking monster."
(Also, in one of the greatest cinematic what-ifs, the role of Beverly was first offered to Tori Amos, but rescinded when Lea Thompson became available.)
It’s the third part of Woody Allen’s B&W trilogy. It’s also a sort of “hate you” letter to his fans. But I love it anyway (which actually supports his raison d'etre.)
Charlotte Rampling is gorgeous.
I have always loved this movie, with Diane Lane as an avant-garde window dresser in Pittsburgh stalked by a psychopathic radiology technician.
I had no idea it had earned a perv/cult following because there’s a scene of her naked in a bathtub. /1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093379/
And, unless Gunn does something drastic with his FX budget, Sharon Stone and her Beauline are the closest we'll get to seeing Clayface on the big screen. This gives me a sad. But Stone wandering around that set with a highball saying "pay me" is yummy.
Star Trek Into Darkness. Is the Khan stuff dumb? Yes. Is Spock going Hulk dumb? Yes. But Peter Weller's giving it his all, and the stuff with Pike and Kirk is fantastic. Pine and Quinto are also great in it, shame their performances got overshadowed by the choice to ape to TWoK in one scene.
11 HarrowHouse
Flopped when it was released, made Charles Grodin unhireable.
But I love it. Candice Bergen’s character does all the heavy lifting & is so cool.
They never show it on TV. Don’t know why.
At the time, it was the most expensive movie ever made, and I think it got savaged for that alone. It could have been better, but it's hardly as dire as people make it out to be.
The funny thing is, it barely cracks the top 20 now, even adjusted for inflation.
I was hoping someone was going to say Waterworld. Everyone piled on about it being a flop in that it went so far overbudget that it was never going to make it all back. But it was…fine. Not amazing, but mid-tier action movie. Not worth what they paid for it, that's all.
Yeah, it's pretty fun, an unapologetically blatant about its central conceit of "It's literally just Mad Max again but instead of not enough water there's too much"
Pre 9/11, back when you could tour Boundary Dam (on the Pend Oreille River near Metaline Falls, WA), you could see the set of Bridge City. The dam management kept the set for quite some time. The beautiful area was a prominent film location for the film.
I'm convinced the pool-sex scene was the result of someone trying to win a bar bet over who could get the most insane thing into a big-budget movie. I hope they won.
Might get dogpiled, but I have a case: Event Horizon.
Perfect horror flick—except when the lady sees her kid in the Jeffrey’s Tubes. Everyone else just kinda goes mad in ways they can’t defend themselves. She’s a scientist—IN SPACE—why would she chase phantoms?
Terrible death that weighs it down.
Before the directors cut was available, I would keep it muted during the opening voice over when showing it to others. Never understood why they'd want to spoil the whole plot before the film even started! Later discovered it was a studio demand. (Go figure.)
2003’s ‘Daredevil’. An absolute fustercluck but Bullseye and Kingpin are spot-on, Foggy is fun and I’ll be damned if that painfully-00’s nu metal soundtrack doesn’t tickle my brain somethin’ giddy.
One of my favourite movies of all time. It came into the world messily. The band agreed to it because it satisfied contractual obligations w/out them having to do much. They weren't enamoured w/ the idea at 1st because a previous cartoon show was hastily thrown together & not very high quality.
Always gave me nightmares as a child. It seemed to be on early evening tv all the time. I watched it because it was a cartoon. Anything animated? I’d watch it.
The band didn't need to worry because the crew were dedicated to making a movie that was a work of art that matched the music. It's trippier than a trip to Tripsville & includes all the hits you would expect, plus some songs made for the film.
Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame is all over the place, and it's abundantly clear they didn't know if they were making a movie for kids or for adults. But it's also a beautiful movie, and has frankly the best villain song in the entire Disney Canon. https://youtu.be/gqGL9B_TPTI
2/2 The same thing happened with the initial release of Brad Bird’s “The Iron Giant,” but that film found its audience away from its marketing failure, but it took a long time. I think “John Carter of Mars” will likely find its audience, those of us who have seen it, we need to get the word out!
“John Carter of Mars” was a wonderful film by Andrew Stanton. It was made well, but promoted poorly, and when the resulting box office didn’t appear, the film was labeled a failure. 1/2
And in the same vein, Solomon Kane. I feel like if either one of those had been a hit we might've ended up with a mini boom of producers raiding the Weird Tales, Amazing Stories etc. archives for underused (recently) characters, but it was not to be.
One of only 2 movies I went to see 3 times in theaters—twice by myself because no one else wanted to go with me 🥲. The other one was Sorcerer's Apprentice.
I had a roommate who worked at Fox in the music department that Robert Kraft led. Bruce Willis and him are still friends and he came in to have lunch one day and my friend said "I have to tell you both, I love Hudson Hawk". Bruce looked at him and said "Well, kid, all three of us are here".
I keep thinking they should just redo the effects and re-release it.
Or maybe do model sheets of the settings and give everyone a sign-up to do 20 seconds then piece it all together.
It fascinates me how Hollywood keeps trying to spark a pulp action hero/retrofuturism boom (see also: The Rocketeer, John Carter) but not quite quite sticking the landing.
I think it's a matter of timing (which you have no control over) and non-traditional genre components that are brought in. It's not just that Star Wars and Indiana Jones were made by insanely talented, passionate filmmakers, it's what they brought to the table and when. (cont'd)
Star Wars isn't just a glossy upgrade of Flash Gordon by someone who loved that shit, it brings in influences from samurai movies, old monster movies, Harryhausen, etc and brought in the energy of hot rod racing and war documentary footage. (cont'd)
And the positive, electric mood was a stark contrast to the dour, pessimistic attitude of the late 70s. It was a new, modern fairy take for a disillusioned era. (I didn't mention the fact that it was edited in an extremely nontraditional way either, making it feel unique. (Cont'd)
Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Scott is problematic. The anime makes it kind of the point. But I adore that movie and it is my ultimate comfort, rainy day chill movie
I was introduced to this movie freshman year of college by my dorm neighbor Matt and we spent the next semester and a half passing the book by Bret Easton Ellis around.

Neat question to ask yourself after watching "Falling Down"; At what point in the film did you stop sympathizing/rooting for/etc with the main character and why?
Love Actually is one of the rare rom-coms I like. It's full of garbage humans acting on their bad impulses, but the cast is amazing and the soundtrack is perfect.

I'll say the 1986 film of Biggles - Peter Cushing's last film.

I love this movie so hard.
What drove me crazy about it was when the female character supposedly took the train home, without her purse, her stuff, just walked upstairs in that red dress.

It's a terrible movie in many ways, but a guilty pleasure. Absolutely loved Charles S. Dutton in it.
That movie is not messy but perfect.
Every time I saw that as a kid it was because I had stayed home from school and it was on some obscure TV channel.
It always felt like a fever dream in the best way possible.
Loaded with cringe, but still love it, actually.

frickin LOVE that stupider than a box of rocks film
But… 5???… HOW did they even FINISH it?
My late older brother and I bonded over this film, understanding that, in the words of Junkfood Cinema, "It's not a good movie; it's a GREAT movie!"
And it has the best line ever written.
THUG: Watch his feet. He can kill you with his feet.
BERNARD: (Dismissively) He can do anything he wants with us feet.
I say this line all the time and have since I was 8.

It would have fit right in with the movies released 5 years ago. That's how ahead of its time it was.

I swear Stoppard wrote this just for the puns.
It’s the most bonkers musical. I adore it.
Perfect horror flick—except when the lady sees her kid in the Jeffrey’s Tubes. Everyone else just kinda goes mad in ways they can’t defend themselves. She’s a scientist—IN SPACE—why would she chase phantoms?
Terrible death that weighs it down.
We were spoiled though
Theatrical or Director’s Cut?
I think I'd ultimately go with whichever one has the least amount of nu metal.
Fucking love this movie.
i still reccomend this flick, Banderas before he became BANDERAS
Maybe not
Is it the greatest Viking action movie ever made?
FUCK YES!
Paul: Can’t be. He’s got 2 eyes.
