I barely notice what channel I'm watching on cable nowadays thanks to DVRs and on-screen guides. I do know that I don't have IFC, because I keep seeing stuff listed on there that I try to watch, only to get the blue "you don't have this channel" screen. So...maybe something like showtime?

Reefer Madness --- Night of the Living Dead --- A Clockwork Orange --- From Dusk till Dawn...

Sin City was far from unknown, but I love it!

Rubber is a must see for any connoisseur.

I totally forgot this in my original post but... Mars Attacks, so many big names, such a wonderfully terrible movie.

"Blazing Saddles" was on AMC tonight. I don't think it qualifies as cult anymore. It is now a classic.

Wow. My wife won't let me play it for our kids. Says it's too "RACIST" or something :eyeroll:

"Candygram for Mongo! Candygram for Mongo!"

Shogun assassin anyone?

Roadhouse and ......Joe Dirt....but I digress:rockin:

Hamlet 2 was awesome.

"We're gonna need a shvtload of dimes."

"It's HEDLEY Lamarr!"

"You brute, you brute, you brute, you vicious brute!"

My favourite has to be "Manos": The Hands of Fate. Watching Manos "unriffed" should be a rite of passage for anyone who claims to be a B-movie buff. If you can sit through that, you can handle anything.

Except maybe Red Riding Hood. That was the drizzling ****s.

Donnie Darko

That was one of our favorite movies as a family when we were kids growing up. My dad was/is a huge fan of the fart and fart humor, I especially remember the whole family doing over the top laughter on the campfire farting scene.

Watched it a few years back for the first time since I was a kid and yeah... a bit (as in very much so) racist.

Meeting is adjourned. Oh, I'm sorry sir. You say that.
What?
Meeting is adjourned.
It is?
No you say that.
What?

The Princess Bride
Did that get mentioned yet?

Know what I noticed about Blazing Saddles is, when I watched it on TV as a kid the farting scene and Lilly von Schtupp's name were censored, but rhe N word was not. Now when it's on TV, it's the opposite.

I would say that if anything blazin saddles is more out to make fun of racism and prejudice. I do not believe it is PC by today's standards. It is a classic and I laugh harder each time I watch it.

I'm amazed that people have actually seen this. Best bad movie since Teenagers from Outer Space (also covered on MST3K)

Arizona Dream.

The soundtrack is also fantastic.

YES, YES, a million times YES!

Our group of friends watched that awful movie dozens of times in high school. It has been 10 years+ since I have seen it so I don't remember all of the finer points, but I do remember enjoying the heck out of it.

I saw it referenced, but no one said it was their favorite.

TROLL 2 is the worst movie ever. It has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. I dare you to play any of the YouTube clips.

It is so bad that it laps around "so bad, it's good", to being bad, and then to being good again.

There's a documentary made about the movie that is just as disturbing. Several of the cast members are insane, literally.

A GREAT movie (documentary) about a whacked dude (and his brain-damaged friend) making a terrible movie: American Movie.

I can't recommend it often, but I think if you've posted to this thread then you'd enjoy it as much as I have. Mark Borchardt rocks in my book. One of my favorite movies of all time.

How about I'm Gonna Get You, Sucka!

"How much for just one rib?"

I watched "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies" on Netflix last night. French parody of 007. Pretty damned funny.

I watched The Pink Panther Strikes Again a while back. That movie is always a good laugh for me.

I forgot about the toxic avenger movies. Those take scenes that aren't supposed to be funny, but are to a new level.
