Some favorite cinematic cheese wedges in no paricular order:
The Hidden (Kyle McLaughlin takes aspirin the hard way.)
Pitch Black (This one actually scared me.)
Back to the Future II (It's not really bad, in fact it's pretty good, but it IS misunderstood.)
My Blue Heaven (Blue cheese. No excuses, this IS bad.)
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Jason & the Argonauts (Yay! Ray Harryhausen! How outdated of me!)
Better Off Dead (I actually like another John Cusack teen flick better, but can't remember the name...Robert Loggia, sailboats? Anybody?)
Tie: Steel Magnolias, Only You (Estrogen alert!)
The Faculty (I love this film. Didn't you think some of *your* teachers were aliens? "Do both of us really need to go?"..."No, one of us is a decoy.")
The first five Star Trek movies (Take your pick, ALL cheesy, led by the cheesemeister himself, William Shatner.)
Last but not least...
Braindead AKA Dead Alive (Hilarious, kiwi gorefest. Had anyone at New Line seen this before they gave Jackson $300 million to make LOTR? From the genius that brought us Meet the Feebles AND Heavenly Creatures. Go PJ!)

'The Hidden' is a GREAT movie!! - centurymantra 12:56:45 04/15/02 (0)
No need to apologize on that one. I don't know why that film works so well, but there's just *something* about it that transformed the film into a bit of an accidental masterpiece. I've shown and forced that film on a number of people over the years, and everyone has loved it, though some did begrudgingly admit to this.

I disagree about the Faculty though..... - dado5 04:41:21 04/11/02 (2)
Any movie that has Salma Hayek in it is automatically a good flick!
or Rachel Lee Cook or Raquel Welch or Grace Kelly or Rita Hayworth or Jane Seymour or Dorothy Lamour or Donna Reed.
It is just not possible that any of these women would make a bad movie.

- I think the Faculty is pretty wonderful actually..... - Harmonia 15:22:05 04/11/02 (1)
  But I don't bring it up at Film Society meetings very often, lol! My standards may be higher, or maybe my pantheon is smaller, snert snert.
  The Faculty's my fave pic among ironic teen horror movies...that high school is hell on earth long before the aliens arrive. "I don't think anyone should run unless they're being chased"...luv it. Run Casey, run.
  - I liked it too.....need to rent it again - dado5 16:27:08 04/11/02 (0)
    If Blockbuster still has it that is.....see my rant at the top.
    no such thing as too much Salma!

I want my two dollars! - dado5 14:31:19 04/10/02 (2)
I love that flick.
I am having Fraanch fries, Fraannch bread and Fraannch dressing for dinner tonight.
Like Blue Heaven too.

  Here's $2 on me...(snert).
  Yeah the Cusacks are cool...I love the expression on Joan C's face when she sends the turtles down the drain in My Blue Heaven.
  I had no idea, truly, NO idea, this ward was so cultured.
  - That movie is just filled with great lines.... - dado5 04:19:09 04/11/02 (0)
    "do you have any idea of the street value of this mountain?"
    "he had his, how you say, testicles all over me"
    "sorry I blew up you mom, Ricky"
    " shame to throw away a perfectly good white boy like that"
    Funny funny funny.

I think the John Cusack movie you're referring to is "One Crazy Summer". I was just talking about that one a couple days ago with some friends at work. The cute and fuzzy bunnies were the best.

  ...maybe Art Dudley saw this flick? One Crazy Summer also had Demmi Moore pouting around with long dowdy hair, and you could almost understand Bobcat Goldthwaite.
  Actually, though, I was thinking of Hot Pursuit. John misses his plane, misses the boat, gets adopted by splif smoking natives in the Caribean and kidnapped by Robert Loggia, though he does thwart pirate Ben Stiller in the end. Gets the girl, too.
  Not cheesy, but pretty funny, is The Sure Thing, directed by Rob Reiner. But THE best teen love flick of all time has to be Say Anything. Still Cameron Crowes best flick IMO. It's just come out in a very cool DVD edition with mucho special features, including a commentary wherein Ione Skye reveals Cusack turned her on in one of their love scenes. Love it! Sometimes life is good!
