Favorite films to poke fun of, a la MST3K.

[blondeatlast]

Some friends and I had a blast at "Passenger 57." We almost could recite the dialogue, even though we's never seen it before.

[Benhurst]

1. The Bridges of Madison County n/t

[CrownPrinceBandar]

2. CLONUS!!!

No wait, MST3K did that one already. Darn.

[SheilaT]

3. 2001 A Space Odyssey

I get the boys on MST3K could have a wonderful time with that one.

[grannylib]

12. I used a line from this once; it was a golden opportunity.

Christmas party, magician David Farr on the bill for entertainment.
I was MC and assisted him during part of his performance. At the end of the big finale he asked me to remove the ribbon from a box and open it, showing the audience its contents. I replied, real low and kinda regretful, "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave." Took him just a split second to get it before he split his sides laughing.
It was fun! And he was a great magician!

18. No no no no no no!!!!

It would be as boring as "Manos, Hands of Fate"

"You're watching Manos, Hands of Fate"

On second thought, never mind. Nothing's that bad.

[NightTrain]

4. Reefer Madness, Plan 9 From Outer Space

n/t

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. An obscure one: "Cosmos: War of the Planets"

This was an Italian film made at the height of the Star Wars craze, and it it is so horribly inept that it is hilarious.

6. Years ago I ran an Air force TV station in Alaska

We would always turn the sound down in the control room, drink beer and do the dialogue ourselves...

The Running Man is a great MST3K-able movie!!!

[CanuckAmok]

9. Please tell me you aired Carpenter's "The Thing"...

...at least once. What better venue than an Alascan Air Force TV station??

[Norbert]

7. Amityville II

A very forgettable sequel (or was it a prequel).

I remember one scene where everyone in the four member family had some kind of move. It looked like they were in a bizarre music box. Really funny stuff. MST3K would have a great time with this.

We saw this in a movie theater as one of our early dates and there was a MST3K moment of sorts when we were watching it. The movie, wearing out it's welcome fast and around half way through the movie the son in the flick was becoming possessed. I think he went to his father and said in a rage, "I'm gonna kill you! ... I'm gonna kill you!" One of the African-American young ladies in the audience near us yelled out, "What the F**k are you waiting for! Kill him!" The whole theater erupted in laughter.

8. i MST3K'd once, with great sucess

Starwars 2

[brainshrub]

19. Ditto...SW I

God I hate Jar Jar.

Have you seen "The Phantom Edit" version of the first movie? Big improvement.

[pstokely]

10. The Buttercream Gang

[terrya]

11. "Showgirls"

One of the most laughably awful movies in recent years. Perfect for a MST3K night.

[blondeatlast]

24. Gourd, yes. You don't have to be gay, either, except straight guys

are so busy drooling they don't pay any attention to the crappy dialogue.

I'd happily watch it with you, T.

[lumpy]

13. Pirates of the Caribbean

arrghhhh dead men tell no tales

[jimbo fett]

14. Beastmaster, Battlefield: Earth, and Dragnet (The Movie).

Beastmaster - silly premise and stupid ferrets.

Battlefield: Earth - horrible acting by Travolta

Dragnet - all-time stupidest movie every IMHO

[devilgrrl]

15. Roadhouse

nt

[FunBobbyMucha]

16. "Black Dog" and "From Justin to Kelly."

One has a past-his-expiration-date Swayze as the truck-driver equivalent of, well, every other character he's played, the other features some of the truly worst dance sequences and non sequitor second banana plot threads every committed to film.

We used to have "Bad Movie Tuesday," where part of the joke was that it was never on Tuesday. "Black Dog" was our inaugural film. "Great Balls of Fire" is also a classic--the key is to imagine that Quaid based his performance on Foghorn Leghorn.

My wife and I detest the "Thomas the Magic Engine" film, which our three year old cherishes and watches repeatedly. It is the most bizarre and pointless film ever made, children's flick or not. Peter Fonda is clearly stoned thruout, and acting in a completely different film than the rest of the cast. Mara Wilson capped a successful child star career (Ms. Doubtfire, etc) with a truly wretched performance as she was going thru a physically awkward 12th or 13th year. It so completely sucks.

[blondeatlast]

25. I suffered thru "Thomas" with my then 3 year old. Oh, man, the agony.

I was so busy hiding my disgust form my bear that I don't remember it having a comprehendable plot; did it? Or did you miss it too?

Dreck. Godawful. Hideous.

[LTR]

17. Blair Witch Project

What a horrible movie!

On second thought...nevermind. I'd hate to sit through it again even with commentary!

[geniph]

20. Showgirls

there's a guy here in Seattle that occasionally does a "commented" showing of that movie that is beyond priceless. That is one of the dumbest pieces of trash ever committed to film - my poor husband rented it once when I was out of town, and despite himself, was unable to find it even remotely titillating. It was just too stupid.

Another local organization does a regular Mystery Porn Theatre, where they do the MST3K thing with bad porn films (are there any others?).

[blondeatlast]

26. That would be great! Why even bother with a plot?

It's when they try that they get funny. Of course, I've never seen one that wasn't hilarious.

[beawr]

21. The Ten Commandments (Heston Version)

You get Edward G Robinson badmouthing Moses, see.
You get Vincent Price breathing heavily about "scented oils"
You get Heston delivering every line as though he "shit marble"
You get Yul Brynner being all nasty
You get Yvonne DeCarlo and a host of Munsters jokes
You get to see DeMille ranting about Communism in the Intro
And a host of incredibly silly bit parts

[blondeatlast]

23. I'll bring the popcorn . . .

I MUST check that one out!

[Mrs. Venation]

22. Tremors

I had a great time with Bertha with this movie. It was before she relocated to the east coast, and our courting was by phone and email. I was talking to her, channel surfing, and ran across this movie on Sci Fi. I started a descriptive dialogue; she was laughing her butt off.

Mrs. Venation

[Bertha Venation]

29. ROFL I'd forgotten all about that!

"Git your ass in gear and RUN!" LOLOL

This would be a great movie for MST3K.

[Supply Side Jesus]

27. The Wedding Planner

gawd awful film with sit-com style sturcture. Of course lets not forget the 2nd and 3rd matrix instalment. I could hear servo screaming "END!! END!! END!!" during the "rave in the cave" sequence.

[bonemachine]

28. Red Sonja

Without a doubt.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

30. My favorites

Hot Rods to Hell
Valley of the Dolls
Any Godzilla movie they haven't done already (esp. with the fairy twins)
The Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army
or it's English version cut and pasted, Space Warriors 3000
<any Ultraman fans out there?>

[Doc_Technical]

36. Any John Wayne war movie.

This draft dodger made sure no Japanese troops got past
Culver City.

Hot Rods to Hell was a hoot.

Teenagers from Outer Space is on my all time worst movies
list, horrendous acting, laughable special effects, lame plot.

I was a big fan of the original half-hour Ultraman TV
show in the late 1960's.
The good guys (The Science Patrol) had these fancy ray guns
that had no effect whatsoever on the monster of the day.

[TheMightyFavog]

31. Oh..

Those old poorly dubbed Hercules movies.

Also the American edits of Japanes monster movies can be fun to MST3Kize, especailly Godzilla's Revenge, the worst of the whole franchise.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

32. Oh yes!

Those Hercules movies were a scream!
I'm a big zilla fan and I agree with the Godzilla's Revenge thing. That one really sucked. My friends and I used to watch baby Godzilla and think we were watching a very young Gary Coleman!
MST3 did Godzilla vs. Megalon. One of my favorites for suckiness. I haven't seen their version of it. I'm eagerly awaiting it on DVD.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

33. Oh I have to add one!

I remember Vanna White's "Venus" film, albeit a TV movie.
That was the suckiest film that ever sucked. Sweet Mary, that was badddd.

[oxymoron]

34. Two words...

Baby Jane!

[ellie]

35. Heat

"Show me what you got!"
and
"She's got a great ass!"

Al Pacino overacting

[Paragon]

37. Spontaneous MSTing broke out at a midnight show of "Body of Evidence"

You remember - the heinous Madonna erotic thriller. People were yelling out all sorts of things during the show (me and my buddies included), a lot of it pretty funny.

Normally I go ballistic when I hear so much as a peep at a movie, but the movie was SO bad, having the crowd participate actually turned it into one of my most memorable times at the movies.

[Doc_Technical]

38. Body of Evidence

I (faintly) remember turning on the TV after having a few
and this movie was on and I was wondering who the blond was.
When she took off her clothes, I realized it was Modonna!
