Well, I am not embarassed by ANY movie I like
So here I go... not feelin' guilty at all...
OVER THE TOP (1987, Menahem Golan) - I LOVE it. I know that this isn't a good movie but it has so many things working for me... there's Sly doin what he's doin best: his famous sneer... even in slo mo
and then there's a killer soundtrack... ranging from epic songs about the glory of America to cheesy pop-kitsch to Giorgio Moroders synthiemusic making the arm wrestling montages even more enjoyable. And then there's Sammy Hagar. The winner takes it all. Yes. I listen to it when I wanna feel like a winner. It helps and if you start the day with THAT song, it simply has to be a good one.
ALLIGATOR/ PIRANHA (1980, James Teague/ 1978, Joe Dante) - Forget JAWS. JAWS maybe a better movie but I've had lot more fun with these two. And also I love Scheider he cannot compete with Robert Forsters or Bradford Dillmans troubles characters. They add some quality to the films which almost makes them A-movies.
8MM (1999, Joel Schumacher) - Considered a terrible movie by many many people but when I saw it in a theatre it blew me away. This dark atmosphere grabbed my by the balls and didn't let go. You may condemn the movie for being not really subtle about the fetish community and especially for Nic Cages sometimes horrible performance but I still enjoy it for what it is: a dark thriller exploring a milieu which has not been revisited that often in movie history and even managed to be not an exploitation flick like those wannabe-snuff-themed flicks comin from the 70s. This is mostly because it is beautifully shot and feels like an a-product throughout.
WOMEN IN CELLBLOCK 9 (1977, Jess Franco) - A movie so bad it turns to be good again: it features a couple of very hot "actresses" including the beloved French pornstar Karine Gambier trying to escape prison and not wearing ANYTHING almost throughout the whole movie. It's a nasty movie definitely not one you can really defend but well... it's fun though if you're into that stuff and Franco has certainly done worse.
NEW YORK MINUTE (2004, Dennie Gordon) - The Olsen Twins do Ferris Bueller. No, no, not THAT way. They actually try to go by the same formula and it works. A bit. Anyway: the Olsens are nice to look at and if you are not liking them (which I REALLY can understand
): DO NOT watch this
