tanith27 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Surf Nazis Must Die..and sticking with the ocean theme... Surf II: The End of the Trilogy. The irony of course is that there never was a Surf I or Surf III. Verrrrrry B-grade 80's trash. But funny when you're drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Okay, extending the theme a bit ... As a kid, I was also a big fan of Ultraman (corny!!!) and rented the DVD series from Netflix awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Wow, I am embarrassed to say I have never seen ANY of those. I guess it's time to put them on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've been on an old movies kick for the past few months. One that is VERY corny, but fun to watch is Algie the Miner, and various movies that are on TCM.In fact, I've grown rather addicted to "Silent Sundays" on TCM. There are a number of good, but what would be considered "Corny" movies, that are shown on that channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) "A man to remember (1938)" is an excellent movie as well. Recently shown on TCM and the acting (and story) is terrific. Edited March 11, 2008 by ricco67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Like ... THE FIFTH ELEMENT is a good example of just about all of those, and actually one of my favorite movies largely based on the outlandish (but corny) performance of Chris Tucker.I love that Edited March 11, 2008 by LunaticFringe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 "Back to the Beach" is another favorite "corny" movie of mine. I still cant beleive we actually paid to see that at the premiere! Actually all the beach films of the 60's were hilariously camp and seem outlandish by today's standards, but oh well at least Frankie & Annette were in lust. We kids used to dance on the couche's in the living room as soon as the dance scenes kicked in. Where's Eric Von Zipper leader of the RAT'Z gang? (what a cool Brooklyn dialect) Yooz I don't like!

My dad took me to the dollar theater to see "Back to the Beach". Whatever happened to dollar theaters? Anyway, I was interested because Pee-Wee Herman had a cameo and my dad was interested in seeing Annette. We both agreed it was corny, even at the time, but we both loved it. It was during the filming of "Back to the Beach" when Annette Funicello was diagnosed with MS. Are those photos from "Beach Blanket Bingo"? I love the songs in that movie.

Vertigo58 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Beach Blanket Bingo...That's the name of the game! ( do "the swim" while you sing it) There was "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" it could be the one that had a girl ghost walking around the beach in a bikini and all you could see was a floating 2 piece walking around. We must have really lost our marbles to sit through that! and you must check out the attached link!

KimberlySayWhat Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I clicked the link and that lady scared me. My favorite song from "Beach Blanket Bingo" is the first one that Linda Evans sings. It used to be on YouTube, but I can't find it now. I also like the one that the brunette girl sings at the cabin while they're all sitting around the fire place.

Vertigo58 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 All the karate (Bruce Lee) films of the early 70's. I was so sick of these films, they got more and more outlandish as the years went on. I was dragged along so my little brothers could see them. Practically at gunpoint. In fact Judy Lee (Bruce's younger sis) was promoted as the next karate star. That must have been short lived. I can never forget a scene where she was ambushed by about 10 ninja type dudes. Not only did she beat the crap out of each one she castrated at least one with her sword and then continued to "single handedly" karate chop their whole karate school to smithereens! The camera was going snap, snap, snap as her hands broke timber after timber and the whole building was left in a pile of rubble. How much could you stomach? and who can forget when these Shanghai Killers would yelp, and fly in mid air about 15 feet in the air and the strings were in clear view! This was one craze I personally could have thanked God for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I couldn't help but think of Mommie Dearest when I saw this."TINA! Bring me the ax!" Lucy Harper took an axe...gave her husband 40 wacks.... It was sad that Joan had sunk to an all time low by accepting that part in this pre-slasher genre. Clearly was in need of mula after the Baby Jane $ had been spent. Its so cool when George Kennedy gets his head chopped off (terrible/cheap special effects that only a child could be frightened by. (You can tell it's a mannequeins head). Now considered a cult classic too! pass the popcorn kiddies Kimberly, maybe we can get you one of those Baby Jane Hudson doll's for Christmas?

Vertigo58 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Can it get any cornier than Pippi Longstocking & Benji films of the 70's? Pippi was supposed to be like some super courageous homeless brat that never bathed and could outdo Superman! The hair thing was a trip! Then Benji was the dog that could bend steel with his teeth! and simply wouldn't go away, ever....Ruff! http://www.sweden.se/upload/Sweden_se/english/articles/SI/images/Pippi%20L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You can tell it's a mannequeins head). Now considered a cult classic too! pass the popcorn kiddies Fakey or realistic, I hate the lopping off of people's heads in movies and TV. Once I was watching a marathon of "Friday the 13th" (the tv series) on the Sci Fi channel and there was a scene in one of the stories where an old woman gets her head chopped off and it was so stupid looking, but it made me nauseas for days whenever I thought about it. Likewise, I hate the part in "Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte" when Bruce Dern's head bounces down the stairs. I won't watch that movie because of that scene alone. Kimberly, maybe we can get you one of those Baby Jane Hudson doll's for Christmas? What, does its head fall off or something? Subdude:Want a truly corny one that's fun to watch? The Bad Seed. Golly, what a little creep! That movie is disturbing. Vertigo, that Pippi photo reminds me of "Annie"! One of my favorites! Just watched it the other day. I showed it to my little niece and nephew and they liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the one with Julie Christie? or some broad gets impregnated by a demon? Never saw but heard it was a riot! and heres Ernest! Need we explain, put the corn in corny! Maybe thats why he smoked himself to death! Must have had a serious drug habit to get to this point! Maybe this is why other countries hate us so much?

The pairing of Geena and Baldwin was perfect as well. I still say its the best film M Keaton ever made. He was always so much better at comedy. Now all the "Police Academy" films were goofy, trash but they made $$$ and thats what counts in Wallywood. Now all of those actors were type cast for ever, we never see them anymore. and what about the "Porkies" movies? Pre Girls-Gone-Wild entertainment. No one will ever forget the scene of the weiner in the wall when the woman coach grabs it and yanks. Sad, sad, sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
