Waterworld is absolutely brilliant and I never tire of rewatching it. Wasn't Hopper up for a Razzie for that? I think he was great in it.

Masters of the Universe is a film I've always loved and I know for a fact I'm the only one amongst my mates who will keep watching it again and again.

Mortal Kombat is one that i wouldn't mind revisiting, but I'll have to finish the 70 film challenge first.

Dune is one of those that's not only been lambasted by the critics, but even Lynch himself disowned it. Personally I've always thought it was a fascinating film and it's worth a watch just for the spectacular sets and costumes. At the end of the day is was pretty much an unfilmable book and to make it semi-coherent for the screen is an achievement in itself. I hate the mini series though which was crammed with lame CGI.

I've also been a big fan of Altman's Popeye since I was a youngster. It's so bloody deranged that's it impossible not to like.

White Squall. I think this is Ridleys forgotten film. Really enjoy it.
Life Less Ordinary. Loved it. Think it's got some real humour to it.

Most of my favourite films are Bad Films, if I'm totally honest. Though a lot of them seem have gathered a 'cult' following so I guess that makes it acceptable.

I'll say Vampire's Kiss (1988) though, because it's terrible and yet I cannot stop watching it, or relentlessly quoting it. It's also the film in which I finally recognised Nicolas Cage's ability to elevate a terrible film into a slice of genius by acting like an utter mentalist.

Now I think about it, I watched The Wolfman (2010) a couple of nights ago and found myself mostly enjoying it. I was fascinated by Benicio Del Toro's dogged determination to put in a performance so wooden that Ed Wood would have thought twice about his casting choice.

I'll chuck in the films of Guy Ritchie, which seem to be pretty much hated by any one who likes 'good' films, but apart form RocknRolla, which was a damp squib and Swept Away, which I haven't seen I like everything else he's done.

Lock, Stock and Snatch are full of memorable characters and are two of the most quotable films that I know (well they were amongst a small group of my mates for a while) and both films look really good. You can't deny Ritchie's got a knack for style.

Revolver is big guilty pleasure for me and I've yet to find anyone who'll sit through it again with me. It's probably the film I've seen the most by myself

And finally Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes was one of the most entertaining, swashbuckling and fun films of 2009 for me. Can't wait for the sequel. Really chuffed that Stephen Fry is playing Mycroft Holmes - an inspired bit of casting.

Having seen only Lock Stock & Sherlock I would agree with this but then they are not bad films! I'm a big Holmes fan and have seen many of the different iterations of the stories and Ritchie's was one of the best outside the sort that don't deviate from the original stories. What was not to like?

Only seen Lock Stock once but always wanted to see it again. Much of what I remember is it was a great meld of music, tight editing and many WTF moments that keep you interested. The combination of 'I want to be your dog' with the scene of the chap walking away from a card game he had just catastrophically lost captured those moments where your stomach sinks as the full calamity of what you have just done begins to dawn on you.

Is it just Kermode who hated Ritchie up to Sherlock Holmes? Or is it I have only seen his 2 best films? Was it a case of the Madonna/Ritchie marriage colouring it.

Yeh, Kermode was a big hater up until Sherlock Holmes.

I definitely believe the celebrity marriage didn't garner him any new fans, but I think a lot of people disliked the fact that some middle class toff was writing and making cockney gangster movies. I say so what? Scorsese wasn't a boxer, Spielberg wasn't an adventuring archeologist, Kubrock wasn't an astronaut, etc.

I agree with you about that scene in Lock, Stock... where Eddy comes out of that card game is a corker. Love the way that the camera is attached to his body and is in his face (reminds me of the sorely overlooked Angst by Gerald Kargl who uses that technique a lot, albeit in 1983!).

If you can bothered I'd recommend Snatch, which I prefer to Lock, Stock..., saying that though they're pretty similar.

I'm sorry but I've goto admit I did enjoy "Alien Autopsy" , it's amongst ant & dec's finest work IMO ,nice bit of mindless fun and based on an interesting true story. I also recall enjoying "Howard the Duck" although that was a long time ago & I have no intention of re watching it.

I'm guessing "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" falls into the so bad it's good category so I won't mention that.

Just realized that this first post of mine could give off the wrong impression of me, I promise I do mainly like all that good underground obscure weird world cinema stuff.

Oh and hello everyone, long time listener / lurker etc.....

Ghostbusters 2 and Gremlins 2 were sequals I enjoyed much more than the originals growing up. Haven't seen either since my early teens though.

Anaconda and The Relic I have a lot of time for . . .

Gremlins 2 is a vast improvement on the original and holds up a lot better I reckon.

Ghostbusters 2 is a film I've always been fond of and push comes to shove I reckon it's better than the first if only for the fact that Vigo the Carpathian genuinely scared me shitless when I first saw it at the cinema.

Dunno if Brick counts as a bad film, it was certainly divisive on its release, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I even enjoyed The Brothers Bloom.

For me it was the Peter MacNicol ghost granny snatching Dana's baby . . .

I loved it when his eyes become torches in that darkened hallway too. Pretty nifty trick.

*as do I

The Relic - Always find this an easy watch horror that i go back to on a regular basis; something about the giant creature that i find really cool; sure there was a cheaper version of this called DNA which was genuinely bad, not sure if i enjoyed that film though.

Resident Evil - Can't help but love the first film, the sequels are very much a case of diminishing returns; though the 3D Afterlife did seem to be better that the 3rd though i think i felt that way due to seeing it as a 3D film, not sure it will hold up aswell in 2D.

Freddy Got Fingered - cult classic? maybe, universally panned Razzies galore, but i find it utterly hilarious.

AVP: Requiem - everyone under the sun seems to hate this film, but i love it; just the approach of killing anyone and everyone was just gutsy and the pred-alien in the maternity ward scenes were horrifically brilliant.

I'm sure my list could be expanded into something quite horrific altogether.

That's me; Guy Ritchie films make me sick; i avoid his films like the plaque, he's offensive to film making; i'd summit myself to the likes of Uwe Boll because sometimes you can't imagine how bad a film can be, but a Guy Ritchie film? no Sir, not for me.

Peter Wellers film Screamers was a sort of dodgy film that i always enjoyed.
Glad to see The Relic getting a mention. Definetely an easy watch.
Predator 2 was a fine enough film. Certainly think it was better than Predators.
Anyone ever see a film called Angus?? I saw this many years ago. Had Kathy Bates and George C Scott in it, as well as the sherminator from American Pie. Good wee film.
