tinyE: ...or Encino Man

Wishbone: Encino Man! I love that movie!

Funnily enough, they retitled it to California Man over here, because nobody here ever heard of Encino until they saw the movie.

tinyE: Okay I'm afraid for that you have to die.
Not knowing Cherry 2000 is like not knowing The Godfather or Citizen Kane

Wishbone: Sorry...

Can a confessed fondness for Weird Science and The Breakfast Club do something to alleviate your wrath?

Oh, and of course The Goonies. One of my favorite childhood movies.
Well those are all really good movies. :D I still keep hearing Goonies 2 stuff BTW but as far as I know only Sean, Corey, and Josh have said they'd be interested. Of course John Matuszak is dead but who knows, he might reconsider.
Netflix recently introduced "Season of the Witch" into their catalogue. They emailed me about it straight away. I commented to a friend - they've got my profile down to a T.

It's really bad. Every cliche you could ever want, and then some more.
Dungeons & Dragons (2000). Jeremy Irons is chewing the scenery and coming back for seconds. His henchman is a bald bloke in black spiked armor and purple lipstick. Jimmy Olson has to crack the Crystal Maze. Doctor Who is an elf.

Street Fighter (1994). Dee Jay, Zangief, and especially Bison. The holy trinity of quotes.

“Something wrong, Colonel? You come here prepared to fight a madman, and instead you found a god?”

“Every Bison dollar will be worth five British pounds. That is the exchange rate that the bank of England will set after I kidnap their queen!”

“For you, the day Bison graced your thread was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Saturday.”
You want to talk about bad movies:

Well, you were close (WARNING: LINK TO TVTROPES.ORG!)
Apollo 18.

Sometimes you find a movie you can watch over and over again.

This is mine.

Wishbone: Starship Troopers is a bad movie, but in a good way (are you not entertained?). Precisely the sort of guilty pleasure this thread is about.
In my opinion it's a brilliant but almost universally misunderstood film. It physically hurts me when I see people mistake its clearly intentional trashiness and cheesiness for regular movie badness.

I watched that the other day and really enjoyed it.

I need to watch it again because the 1st time through you don't know what you're supposed to be looking for and I'd be interested to know what stuff in the background I missed.

I had a lot of fun with this bad movie:

Dear God, no...

I bought that one, thinking it looked interesting. That's two hours of my life I'm never getting back. I even watched some, if not all, of the alternate endings.

All in all, I think I can safely say that I loathe and despise that movie.

Still, one man's trash, another man's treasure, right? I'm glad not everyone suffered through it the way I did.

According to sources (IMDB), Paul Verhoeven got depressed when he read Heinlein's original story and decided to make it into a parody.

My guilty pleasure movie is Moonraker. :^)

Oh sure, it's definitely intentionally cheesy. But fans of the book also see that as a slap in the face of Heinlein, since the book takes itself very seriously.

I enjoyed it too! Haha yeah I felt the same way after finishing it, like there was a lot more going on. It makes you think of the moon rocks here on Earth and how some of them are still "missing."

There are alternate endings? Aw heck I'm one of those people who never watch the special features on the DVD/Blu-ray disc. Welp, another to reason to watch it again!
