Cheese in the Closet
 

Everybody has them....those movies that you KNOW are awful and cheesy and horrible....yet you still sit down and watch and enjoy them, even when people come over and catch you watching them and poke fun....what BAD movies are GOOD to you? For instance, I know Troll is a horrible movie, but I just can't stop watching it....and I get lots of laughs and groans from my friends when they catch me....

Gosh, Olivia, a good 40% of my collection IS the cheese and I put it out front and center! Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rodentz, S Club 7 in Miami.....it's a nonstop cheese fest over here.

I personally love cheesy movies, especially horror. The lower the budget the better usually. Once in a while, I run across something so freaking bad that even I can't sit through it more than once(Breeders for one) but usually they make me laugh, and that's a really important commodity nowadays...
And on a more personal rant, Breeders is one of the top three worst freaking movies on the planet....I'd rather sit through a three day student movie marathon than watch that pile of crap again....I only laughed for the first twenty minutes and then it dried up my laughter and started actually depressing me....by the end I was in a corner with a paper towel over my face and my sister was hiding her face in my couch....

I have a bunch of these as well.

Street Fighter, though not horror, is a big one. I know it's an awful movie, but it's just so much fun!

Wasn't that the one with Raul Julia in it? I love that movie!

Does,Big Trouble In Little Tokyo count as being a cheesy film?

Do you mean Big Trouble in Little China?

I started a thread like this once and everyone ignored it :(

But your thread is doing fine ;)

In my opinion one of the best things you can do is to see NEON MANIACS. It's weird because it's a really, really terrible film, but it is so naive and silly that it creates a strange warm-hearted fuzzy feeling. It's stupid enough to laugh at but there is a bizarre poignancy within. I think this is because it is a gory outrageous horror film that dares to be romantically sentimental with its characters.

I haven't seen that one yet, but I'll check it out. I felt the same way about the Toxic Avenger....that's one of my all time favorites. Troma video is addictive:)

Yeah,sorry my bad.

I love Bloodsucking Freaks. I can't get enough of it. Same way with Redneck Zombies.

my cheesey movies are the old Christmas movies. like Nester, Rudolph, Jack Frost, etc. i get shit every year for those.

must upgrade to the japanese dvd at some point

The American version has THE grooviest, most ass-shakin' theme song ever written for a monster flick. Great song.

Sure, it's cheesy but it's also a rad movie, Kurt Russell and John Carpenter work really well together....the exploding guy is the best....

Yes! Julia is the best part...people say it's a shame that it was his last movie, but I personally dont think he could have gone out on a higher note!

Big Trouble in Little China? I so have that movie! Totally awesome, obsessed with it for a long time as a kid. Now I just get really excited when it comes on.

I think cheesy movies are gooda.

I totally agree...it was a shame he died so young:(

Speaking of high cheese, has anyone here ever seen Troll 2?
It's not about trolls:rolleyes:

ooo, how about Xanadu. hoo hoo!

Hey, there's always Xanadu....no matter how cheesy it is I still watch it a couple of times a month. To tell a secret, I think I really like the soundtrack:o Anyway, Gene Kelly tried really hard in that movie....and it would be impossible for almost ANYONE to overcome Olivia Newton-Johns blonde perkiness....

I've looked high and low for that damn song and I can't find it anywhere.Certainly a song THAT good has to be compiled on a "greatest hits" or something...any clues??

I heard there was a 3-minute, 45 rpm single of the song released when the film came out, and it's in stereo. How cool would that be to have!!!!!! Yeah, I wish I had that.

Big Trouble in Little China is the best movie EVER

Jack: What's in the bag, Egg?
Egg Shin: Earth, Wind, all that sort of thing.
Jack: Yeah, but what does it do?
Egg: Gives good buzz!

Uh... I watched Flash Gordon a few days ago, and Planet of the Vampires yesterday.

I think any 70's film that features one British character and the line, "There's something going on in this house, damnit!" with overly dramatic actions or under drama counts as cheese.

Of course, Squirm has none of those, but works just the same.

heh heh heh....Squirm.....that movie has a certain odd appeal. None of the characters seems really likeable, but there they are anyway, so you have to root for them...the scene with the city guy ordering the egg-cream (and having to explain what it is because no one knows what the hell he's talking about) is pretty funny.

OMG I'd almost forgotten about Squirm....I actually had a dream last night about worms taking over people and turning them into zombies...the weird part was the worms ate the people and then regurgitated them as zombies, and they looked normal until they stepped into sunlight and then they were decayed corpses....and the weird part was the worms came down in little pods that looked just like whole garlic cloves.....I guess I won't be having italian food for a while.....:eek:

Ahhh....Trick Or Treat, where Skippy went metal....I freaking LOVE that movie....it's almost painful to watch, but it hurts so GOOD...

I know what you mean..
I hate idle hands and yet i find myself drawn to the bloody screen..that and bloody poltergeist 2

Now here we have the doomed souls aboard a train controlled by the Devil, singing in an 80's music video and breakdancing their way to hell in the film "Night Train To Terror."

If you think my description of this image is a joke of some kind, well, watch the movie! It'll make just about anyone shiver.

How could I forget Dark Heritage! Great cheesy movie, one of my favourites!

Re: Re: Cheese in the Closet
 

Poltergeist two is a definite one of those movies...I can't pass it up either:)

F2, I've never even heard of Night Train To Terror....but if that's a still from it....GOD HELP US ALL LOL!!!!!

Re: Re: Re: Cheese in the Closet
 

Yes! It's a real movie, and it's really awful! Those kids are supposed to be a rock band whose souls Satan covets or something like that, oh, it's really amazing. It's almost as good as POLTERGEIST II!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087798/

Ooooh wooow......God and the Devil are on a train and the rock bands in the next car.....I must see this cheesefest....
You know there was a movie I saw with Richard Moll....it was low budget(duh) and he was a demon or something and he was making this guy in a blue suit do things so his soul wouldn't be damned or something....I can't quite picture it...dammit....the guy went through all these worlds and had these challenges or something.....??????

HELP!!!!

Sounds like "The Dungeonmaster":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089060/

I was hoping this was about actual cheese in the closet....

Yes!!! It's the Dungeonmaster. I haven't seen that movie in years...I'll have to get it now.

Hah....I got the Dungeonmaster for 4.49 on Amazon....I'm sure it will be terrible. Can't wait!
Are there any better places to buy movies online? The only place I've been using is Amazon and they seem to have pretty good prices...I got The Gate for 1.80....

Yep....yep....yep....that's what happens to me too. I'll remember some piece o crap movie from a million years ago, feel lonesome for it, and then, wham! I'm looking for it online, find the cheapest possible copy but will pay some money if I have to...then I wait for it to arrive and then I watch it aghast.
