Attack of the 80s maniac

[dotinthesky]

I'm compiling a list of movies that are So Bad They Must Be Good.

I already have a few which I haven't seen and think will fit this category nicely. Examples of "so bad it's good":

- They Live
- Dirty Dancing
- Triple X (we saw it on friday -- holy shitty hilarious movie!)
- Showgirls
- Basic Instinct


And here's a list of rotten ones which I haven't seen, but am guessing they are brilliant stinkers:

- Swept Away, with Madonna (any movie with Madonna?)
- Glitter, with Mariah Carey
- The Postman, with Kevin Costner
- Too Fast Too Furious


erm... can you give me some ideas?

That was the movie I was going to say!!

And The Wizard of Speed and Time. I love both of them. And listen, buddy, Dirty Dancing is quality entertainment!

oh, i love Dirty Dancing! In fact, I want to throw a Dirty Dancing party one day, with everyone playing characters from the movie (my friends and I did that once, with "Annie" - I was the mystical driver character with the turbant *forgot his name*)

But you must agree that it's bad! But good-bad!

yezzz...

he's lovely.

oh, he is lovely! but is he also the guy in the funky Village People hat?

*sad* I was all set to add another pretty gay boy to my collection. I've been pseudo-flirting with this retail boy at work whose sexuality is somewhat in question by us who notice him. He wears beauteous ties and I keep telling him I like them and then one evening he showed up at coat check when I didn't see him coming and I was like, "Hello, cute!" He's all shy-smiley. I can't talk to boys I think are datable like that, so I'm gonna feel bad if he's straight or bi and gets a liking to me. But actually, he really is cute, so maybe I'll take him for a whirl. hehehehe...

is this the japanese boy?

Re: *gasp of utter amazement*

[peraventure.livejournal.com]

no, is not. that dork didn't call me and no longer works there. this is a tall, skinny, pretty boy. uhh...nice lips? that's about all I can do in describing him. kinda light-dark hair and nice voice.
