I would say The Mummy (1999), Robocop I and III, just off the top of my head.

Hudson Hawk was considered a failure? That movie was awesome.

Other favourites included Commando, Cobra, Escape from New York and Red Dawn. I'm sure there are more, but I can't be arsed thinking that hard now.

Why? Because it highlights the absurdity of AmeriWank without even realizing it's doing it. I think, anyway, that it was meant to be a stirring war epic, but there's just no way I can take it seriously. It's got freaking Odo as a preacher. And then when Mel Gibson stabs the bad guy with the American flag, it's just too much. He might as well have balanced an apple pie on the end of his massive erection and beaten the snobby Brit to death with it.

One thing in that film that brought me a smile at the time of viewing: the running joke of how Mel Gibson's character was such a lousy carpenter that every piece of furniture he tried to build fell apart. At the end of the movie he gets a new house his neighbours built for him and I said to my wife at the time, "good thing he had help building the house, otherwise it'd be falling down just about right now".

Tango & Cash. I thought it was a hilarious parody when I caught it on TV a few years ago.

The Patriot ; it's stupid as hell, and I gotta shut down the analytical part of my brain, but, eh, the absurd Ameriwank and general stupidity's made tolerable by Jason Isaacs villainously munching scenery for everything he's worth.

Guardsman Bass · Post by **Guardsman Bass** » 2008-09-15 04:02pm

Doom, although I don't know if I should count it; I pretty much watch the movie for the sole purpose of the 5-10 minutes when they have the guy go into "Doom game vision",, and that scene kicked ass.

Do any of the "Back To The Future" movies count as slightly cheesy? I always thought the second one was.

Is there where I admit to kind of enjoying Proof of Life?

Hell yes. A kung-fu fighting buddy holly look-a-like wandering a post-apocalyptic wasteland fighting a cannibalistic Cleaver family, killing half the Russian army, and challenging Death himself to a guitar play-off followed by a sword fight.

I always thought Bogus Journey was overall better than Excellent Adventure. The first movie is a little too much of an aimless runaround.

The Dark · Post by **The Dark** » 2008-09-15 10:34pm

Just ones I own:

Chronicles of Riddick

Underworld

The One

Bulletproof Monk

Hellboy (great movie, but it is cheesy)

Seconded. But I don't think that's a surprise.

It was on Encore recently (well, one of those movie channels...maybe Showtime? Whatever) and I got to see it again. Still love it. Kim is hot, and Adam's "I'm a frog" line is awesome.

Wild Zero

It has zombies and transsexuals all finding love!

Plus, Guitar Wolf gets to save the world from aliens using only the power of awesome and punk rock.

Also:
Top Gun

SWAT
Doom

No. The zombies fall in love with each other, and the transsexual falls in love with a wannabe rocker (with a little help from Guitar Wolf, of course).

Pretty much every Godzilla movie. Only one I can recall not liking is Godzilla's Revenge (WAAAAY too much annoying kid in hot pants action, obviously). This extends to most other giant monster movies (Gamera vs. Guiron? How can you NOT love a giant butcher-knife-head monster?).

John Woo movies. I think I can fit Shoot Em Up, Boondock Saints, and Wanted under the same "gun violence = awesome" umbrella too...

The Rock. Con Air. Probably Nicholas Cage movies in general, actually.

Armageddon. The Core. Sometimes Bad Science is just fun, I'm sorry.

The Patriot, for every other reason mentioned. Plus my favorite teacher in high school, the college history professor who taught high school for fun, had an awesome rant about inaccuracies like sniping before rifled barrels.

A Knight's Tale. I'm hoping somebody else will come along and love it so I can jump on their reason, cause I'm drawing a blank.

Kung Fu movies. Where the man with a disability is guaranteed to be the deadliest motherfucker in the room!

And I know there are so many more I'm forgetting. I love bad movies too much.
