Attack of the 80s maniac

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?

Earth Girls Are Easy, maybe? I love that film.

Honest (the All Saints film) was one of the funniest things I have ever seen!

Spice World
Can't Buy Me Love
Crybaby
Zapped Again!
(honestly, this movie used to be on USA - the TV station a lot, you HAVE to see it)
Glitter - not so bad it's good - just painful to watch.
I haven't seen the Madonna Swept Away, but I saw the original - it was an interesting movie.

how about Army Of Darkness? or Zapped! you can never go wrong with scott baio.

and oh my goodness, i LOVE They Live. that line where he talks about chewing bubblegum and kicking some ass has to be one of the best one-liners ever!

Revenge of the Nerds...

I'm actually watching it right now. I went to a friends house yesterday and they were giving away a ton of VHS tapes, this was one that I snagged.

Point Break with Keanu and Patrick Swayze was a good/bad movie, but it was made in 1991...

Dirty Dancing's the best! The Breakfast Club is probably the best, most cheesy 80's movie I've seen.

Speaking of John Waters and his girl Ricki, check out Sugar Baby. Her other Waters flicks rule.

Hello, how can we forget Howard the Duck?
