Me with the 1993 Mario Bros movie

Raul Julia was a legend... I firmly believe that, at least later in his career, the dude would do whatever shlocky film he could for a paycheck, so he could spend the rest of the time doing theater for fun. And he's often the best part of those movies.

The langoliers will always have a spot for me to watch it.

Also : OH HI MARK

I know I saw that movie, but I cannot remember a single detail about it. It's like my brain has purposely erased all traces of it from my memory.

I must have been pretty young when I watched it though, because I'm certain my born again Christian parents would not have allowed it in our house once that became the thing.

Flying Squid

Oh, I forgot to mention the not good movies that I watched over and over again on VHS in my childhood.

Number one would be the 1959 version of Journey to the Center of the Earth where James Mason plays a Scotsman and doesn't even bother with an accent and Pat Boone also plays a Scotsman but gives up on the accent after about 10 minutes. The whole plot is moronic and the effects are terrible and I love every single minute of it. The only true compliment I can give it is that Bernard Herrmann's soundtrack is terrific.

Then there was the 1980 attempt that Disney made to appeal to college kids, Midnight Madness. It was a total flop and I love every single minute of it. FAGABEEFE!

Third would be an animated movie that was made in France and dubbed into English called The Secret of the Selenites. It was a Baron Munchausen film, but I'm guessing they thought Americans wouldn't know who that was, so they left his name out of the title. It has a terrible pop song in the beginning that is in the "so bad it's good" territory.

At grandma's, raining outside, fire in the living room, small-ish CRT tv with a VCR, granny on a rocker with the cat in her lap. Sitting on the floor.

Nostalgia used to be fatal, better take care to avoid too much of it.

lmao reads like Big Trouble in Little China … just take out only the ‘black’ part keep the ‘sploitation’

I love that movie

Hell yeah pagemaster.

Also that one movie with a cubby that brings toys to life. Kid brought an native american to life and his friend brought a cowboy to life... The Indian in the Cupboard

Underrated classic

I didn't know I had that memory.

Ah, thanks for unlocking some more nostalgia.

That was one sassy Indian guy if I recall correctly.

I can count on one hand how many people I've met that have seen Maximum Overdrive. That was one of my favorite movies growing up, and now I'm a huge fan of Stephen King.

Krull the conqueror which not only is a terrible movie but also a terrible game and I love both. Then again Im 50 and I love many bad videoganes from the Atari era such as ET or Delta Force (also bad game and movie also produced by Cannon films)

It's a terrible story that makes littke sense. I was in high school when it came out and people my agewere surprised it became a classic as it was received poorly.

I watched a YouTube video a while back about that movie's production. It was originally going to be a franchise iirc.

[email protected]

Yeah the native american carried that movie.

Team Sanity here, that movie is bad.

From the stories I've heard, the husband and wife directors ran a terrible production with daily rewrites and an extremely unhappy cast and production team. I don't think studio meddling was the major factor there.

For me its Fatty Finn. A 1980 movie adaptation of an Australian cartoon strip character from the 1930s. Why it was translated and published in Norway and what made my mother buy it I don't know. But I have seen it enough times that now over 30 years after I last saw it I can probably quote parts if it Verbatim.

He did yeah. I hope you weren't judging me for my use of "Indian". No offense meant if it was accidentally given.

I'm not gonna comment on it more but there is a nice 40 second clip from Slavoj Zizek on him telling a story about talking about the nomenclature with a native American.

The Menemen!

The Tripods (the BBC show). I loved it so much, still love it tbh.

yeah the leads being drunk all the time has to be a factor
