For some reason, I really like BIG DADDY with Adam Sandler. There are so many weird lines that don't seem like they were intended for comedy:

Mostly films that I saw as a kid and didn't realize they were stupid until I grew up.
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Mad Monster Party
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Nothing But Trouble
Don't Tell Mama the Babysitter's Dead

One of my favorite movies when I was younger was TIMES SQUARE with Trini Alvarado and Tim Curry. I actually own the two-record soundtrack! I was so happy when this movie came out on DVD that I showed it to some friends and was really embarassed when they told me they thought it sucked.
I still think its a great movie that encapsulates all my teenage punk rock dreams. I would think that the pre-teen RENT and SA fans would have a good time with it as well.

I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

I love Dynamite too.
I also love that awful movie Dragon Wars just b/c I'm a sucker for a good monster movie.
I love the movie Xanadu (not the musical so much though) and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Posted: 5/22/08 at 11:59amTHOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE. Hated the stage version.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

A Night at the Roxbury-It just makes me laugh.
Dumbo-Sure, it's Disney, but I don't think it's too popular. I watched it so much when I was 4, that I believed the pink elephants were going to come and get me at night while I was sleeping.

Weird Al's movie: UHF.
unbelievably funny.

Posted: 5/22/08 at 4:34pmZoolander is up there, but my entire family's worst favorite movie is definitely Rocketman, with Harland Williams. Absolutely awful, but we've probably watched it together upwards of twenty times.

Probably any Romantic comedy you can think of --
I'm pleased as long as there's a happy ending, no matter how cheesy the film may be.

Also known as, My Entire DVD Collection. There are like...5 movies that aren't utterly embarrassing. The only reason they're somewhat less embarrassing is because so few people will have heard of them to judge.
I like good movies, that's not the problem. I enjoy them that one time I see them at the theatre or on rental. But they're just not going to have the rewatch power of Center Stage, Josie and the Pussycats, or Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
