webby Wrote:Demolition Man - Sylvester Stallone and Wesley SnipesDemolition Man certainly had its moments. "All restaurants are Taco Bell," and Desperado is just a great movie, period.
Desperado - Antonio Banderas (hey, it's Antonio!)
Since you mention Last Action Hero, which I actually liked, too -- I have to mention another similar movie that got slammed, but I really like.
Hudson Hawk.

Oh I love Top Secret, and Real Genius!! (of course I love Val Kilmer so...) In Real Genius, just about everything said and done was comedy gold!! I must say in Top Secret watching all the beach movie musicals being made fun of killed me!!! It took so much to keep breathing through the laughter!!!

Ditto. I think everybody loves "Big Trouble in Little China".
But JC's best movie is "Escape From New York".

No, he went wrong not at all. But "Village of the Damned" was not good. I prefer original. B/W film had good effect for children's creepy eyes.

Oh, I remember when I first heard about "Demolition Man". At first, I thought it's based on novel by Alfred Bester, my favorite Sci-Fi novel. Yeah, my mistake. :o

It is amazing the things that get tured into cult classics. Some very good low brow stuff out there that people call cheesy and so stupid its funny and so forth. I really loved Blade Runner and Battlefield Earth.

Name your favorite films and tell of your wives/husbands/families/friends reactions!
Funny you should bring that up, Rich. Awhile back I started a thread, FOR MEN ONLY! (which guaranteed =everybody= would read it) asking, "Guys, have you ever--and I mean =ever= --known a woman who appreciated the Stooges?" Paul replied, with the insight of a physician and man of science, it could never happen. You need XY chromosomes to like the Stooges. And last month, my old high school buddy Bob Arvanitis' little guy Zachary had his 9th birthday. Nothing would do but to give him a Stooges' DVD box set. Bob and Zach and I sat roaring at the chaos. "Look, Daddy! Look, Uncle Mike! Moe is twisting Curly's nose with pliers!" Bob's wife Celeste had one comment: "Men are beasts."
