Author Topic: Your Favorite Unsuccessful Movies Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-27-2005 05:17 PM                  This movie is brought to you in "Feel-Around"... I thought "Kentucky Fried Movie" was much better than "Groove Tube". The whole KFM film was a laugh riot! My favorite bit is Samuel L. Bronkowitz's trailer for his new film "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble". While the audio is funny, it's just plain Too Funny with the visuals!  |  IP: Logged Andy Summers Master Film Handler Posts: 397 From: Bournemouth Dorset United kingdom Registered: Jun 2005 posted 08-27-2005 06:35 PM                 "Into the Night" WOW, I haven’t heard that movie title in over 10 years liked it when it came out and still, like it to, with the gangs on all sides hating weren’t they at war, long time I think David Bowie was very funny as this guy that thought Jeff was very impressive, very impressive, yeah it’s all starting to come back, and the cap driver, “Get the fuck out of my cap” line cracked me up totally. As well as some other funny lines, I’m sure it's on DVD and it’s out there, I’ll keep look out for that one, as I do like some of the comedies and “The Blues Brothers” is an American icon classic with lines like “It’s a hundred and sixty miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, its dark and where wearing sun glasses”, “Hit it” Ashley  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-27-2005 07:25 PM                     Hmmm, good topic! Well, most of the ones I can think of have already been mentioned. Stigmata Newsies (I've watched this over 100 times, no kidding!) Cool World Xanadu (Never even heard of it until Don MADE me watch it) Spice World (Yeah, I liked it...) Gigli (Yep, actually liked this one too) Huh, I know there are more...  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 08-27-2005 07:29 PM                     My favourite film: Dark City (Showroom Cinema Sheffield (screen 4?? (largest Screen) Scope, SRD) Didn't do much at the multiplex box office, I first watched at my local art house cinema. Fantastic, love the plot and pacing. The Avengers (Warner Bros, Meadowhall Sheffield, Screen 3 or 6, Widescreen Dolby SR) This has to be Uma Thurman's best movie. I've got a copy of this on video somewhere. Did shit at box office and always seems to come up at the top of peoples worst movies, but anyway,I thought it was great. Was hooked into the whole premise after seeing the trailer. Shaft (UGC Cinemas Sheffield, Screen 6, Scope, SRD or DTS) and (National Museum of Film and TV, Cubby Broccoli Cinema, Bradford, Scope, SRD) Not sure how well this sequal (not a remake) did at the box office, but I really liked it. Was blown away by Jeffrey Wright's performance.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-28-2005 02:04 AM                     "Tunnel-Vision (1976) ... the People's Network!" .. a good pre-KFM movie. Dumb as they get, but still had the snickers, epecially with Chevy Chase (which I think this was his screen debut of sorts..)doing his famous interview. then the stinkers of all stinkers that seems to always hit the kid shows many moons ago that I can get a kick of watching being so cheaply made is: "Santa Claus Conquers the Martins" , and it's amazing that you can still find this movie on the cheapie DVD's -Monte  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-28-2005 02:16 AM                        ha! us martins would kick santa claus's ass! ok, let's see. i thought dreamcatcher was underrated.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 08-28-2005 02:34 AM                        As a Dreyfuss fan... this one is probably one of my favs... just because it was like the first one of his I've seen on a theater screen. Him playing a wise guy mobster is just hilarious. The Crew (2000) Can't go very wrong with a bunch of old actors. Its just funny right off the bat.  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-28-2005 02:48 AM                     Hudson Hawk Captain Ron SLC Punk! Slums of Beverly Hills Waterworld (everyone hates it, but it did do $88 million) Waking Up In Reno Howard the Duck Labyrinth (people actually laughed at me when I bought the DVD) A Bronx Tale (nobody I talk to has ever seen it, I thought it was excellent)  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 08-28-2005 04:18 AM                        I liked "King Arthur". It had some weaknesses, but I liked the idea of trying the material in a possible historic setting. Visually attractive too. Same about "The 13th Warrior".  |  IP: Logged Pravin Ratnam Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 844 From: Atlanta, GA,USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 08-28-2005 04:26 AM                     Booty Call(jamie foxx's genius was in evidence early on in this funny flick. yes i found it funny, stop laughing!) GO True Romance 12 Monkeys 25th Hour Punch Drunk Love City of God (at least in the US box office)  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-28-2005 10:03 AM                     Hudson Hawk (By far one of the best Bruce Willis films of all time ) 13th Warrior Rounders (I wore out my first copy of the dvd, no joke. Don't know how, and didn't even know it was possible) Waterworld (I don't find it to be that bad, watch it at least once a year) Sahara(Everyone seemed to hate it, I can't wait for the DVD on the 6th of Sept.)  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-28-2005 11:06 AM                        Almost anything with Kurt Russell. His films are rarely blockbusters, but they're usually memorable anyway. He can do comedy, drama, action, etc. equally well. A few mentions: Breakdown Captain Ron Dark Blue 3000 Miles to Graceland The Thing  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 08-28-2005 12:12 PM                     Ah yes Dark Blue 3,000 miles to Graceland Soldier was one that didn't do much and I think was universally hated as well. I loved it. Indian in the Cupboard was one that wasn't successful but I loved it, loved the books as a kid.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L. Johnson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 809 From: Cleveland, Ohio, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-28-2005 01:24 PM                        I was using MovieLens and realized that I'd forgotten about Roadie (1980). A good one for cinetechnophiles is Im Lauf der Zeit (1976) [Kings of the Road].  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-28-2005 02:37 PM                    anybody out there remember a little movie about a possesed car that chased people and ran over them. I know the first thing that probably popped into your head was Stephen King's Christine....... But no this little film was called The Car (1977) starring James Brolin. Here is a Little Tivia about The Car taken from IMDB. There were six Cars built for filming by Barris Kustoms in Lynnwood, California: one main car of steel and five fiberglass replicas. Three replicas were destroyed in the climactic explosion scene and the other two replicas were wrecked in rollovers. The gloss-black main Car is a custom Lincoln Mark III with a locked 4.11 differential (to allow easier spinning), heavy-duty suspension, roll bar, safety harness, and amber-tinted glass. The top is lowered and the beltline raised. Twelve craftsmen built the main Car in six weeks.  |  IP: Logged
