Favorite cheesy movies

There are two that I love beyond all reason. Campy, ridiculous, but so much fun!

The Bee Gees' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie:



Yes, it's likely to be considered an abomination if you love the original Beatles album. But...Peter Frampton! Aerosmith! Earth Wind and Fire! Billy Preston! Steve Martin! Alice Cooper! Just an all around fun movie, at least for me. It was not well received and the critics savaged it upon its release, but I still watch it from time to time.

I also love the movie version of The Who's "Tommy". Trippy work from the late cinematic madman, Ken Russell.



Anyone else have some favorites they'd care to share?

Bridesmaids, Superbad, the Hangover, all the Vacation movies, We're the Millers, Baby Momma, There's Something About Mary.

I'm sure there are way more that aren't coming to mind right now. I just love movies, period.

Airplane, Stripes, Meatballs.

In general, I've always had a soft spot for low-budget sci-fi and horror movies, where the writing is awful, the acting is even worse, and the special effects look like they were made with a budget of $50. I'm a lifelong fan of Godzilla and other kaiju/giant monsters, and a lot of those movies are so cheesy you could top nachos with them.

JdeHog & Spanky, that must be a guy thing. You're not allowed to subject me to that. Lol

I would say Monster Squad certainly qualifies!

A "criminals on the run" saga that totally does a 180 at the halfway mark and turns into a Mexican vampire horror film... what's not to love about that? And say what you want about Quentin Tarantino, but the guy can write some dialogue.



At 3:04 or so in the above:

[Seth and Richie are bank robbers on the run, who have just killed a Texas Ranger, gotten into a shootout with the clerk at Benny's World of Liquor, and have been forced to set the place on fire. As the liquor store explodes in the background...]
Seth: What did I tell you?! What did I say to you? I said buy the road map and leave.
Richie: What the fuck was I supposed to do, Seth? He recognized us.
Seth: He didn't recognize shit!
Richie: Seth, I'm telling you. The way he looked at us, you especially, I knew he knew.
Seth: Low profile. Do you understand the meaning of the words "Low Profile"?
Richie: "Hey, how's your hand, Richie?" It hurts like a fucking son of a bitch, thanks for asking, Seth!
Seth: Let me tell you what low profile is not! Low profile is not taking girls hostage! It is not shooting police officers! IT IS NOT SETTING FIRE TO A BUILDING!
Richie: Bitch, bitch, bitch.

And Cheech Marin playing several roles, including a classic, the Mexican strip-club barker Chet Pussy (near the beginning of this clip):



One of my all-time guilty pleasures.
