Cheesiest Film of all time - what's your pick

[LynneSin]

I'm tied between Top Gun, Titanic or Pearl Harbor but I think it has to go with Pearl Harbor. The entire film was way overacted with even the basic stuff.

What do you think is the Cheesiest Film of all time

[onehandle]

1. Armageddon.

What a crapfest.

[number six]

2. Casino Royale

Or, for good cheese - Barbarella

[illumn8d]

4. Agreed

The Criterion anomaly....

Worst. Movie. Ever.

[onehandle]

5. Criterion....

Why, why, why a Criterion?

Oh, yeah...Disney with a truckload of cash.

[theemu]

41. Michael Bay

The same reason why The Rock is a Criterion film. Say what you will about Michael Bay, but he's an amazingly innovative and original filmmaker. He's changed the entire paradigm of the action film with his mtv-style camera work and hyperkinetic editing style. It's not a great film by any means, but stylistically, Michael Bay is one of the great innovators of the modern era.

[argyl]

45. That one really sucked.

[PurpHaze69]

3. Most Arnold movies

except for Terminator.

Commando was bad, though I still like it. But it was cheesy.

[rusty charly]

6. it's

Xanadu

[onehandle]

7. Mediocrity is much different than cheese. nt

[CO Liberal]

8. "Hercules In Manhattan"

Easily the cheesiest film ever. Ah-Nold (with another person dubbing over his voice) co-starring with Arnold Stang.

[Jack The Tab]

9. Can't Stop The Music....

Although I think this may be the worst film ever made. Ever since I burned my eyes watching this trainwreck a few years ago, this has topped my bad movie list.

[terrya]

10. "Independence Day"

A putrid crapfest. Bill Pullman as the President(!!!). Judd Hirsch hamming it up like crazy, Harvey Fierstein camping it up like crazy, and Will Smith as that good ol' macho Top Gun type. Plus, surely the most laughable plot twist ever...a computer virus felling the invincible aliens.

[LynneSin]

15. It's so cheesy I own the DVD

Go figure...but it is cheesy!

:shrug:

[onehandle]

20. Me too...

Good cheese imo.

The President didn't know that we had an Alien spacecraft at Area 51?

What would smirk do with that information.

The plot was silly, but some of the situations were cool. If was just fun.

[charlie]

24. Yech

My wife is addicted to that hunk of cheese, she must've watched it 100 times. Having that goofy movie playing in my living room a couple of times a month is bad enough, but what really torques me whenever I see it is knowing what those idiots Devlin and Emmerich went on to do -- make that wretched piece of crap that abused my GODZILLA!! That was unforgiveable.

[denverbill]

26. Me too

I think it's a great movie, entertainment-wise. Great emotional lines, pretty good acting, good plot, great special effects, humor. What more do you want?

[lanlady]

36. good choice--and lest we forget

Will Smith's gorgeous girlfriend was a prostitute (with a heart of gold, of course) who ends up rescuing the First Lady from certain death. God that movie sucked.

[Catherine Vincent]

39. She was a stripper, not a prostitute.

just correcting you....

[BigMcLargehuge]

51. and the first lady died

I did and extensive review of Independence Day for a horror website. The review lives in the Hall of Shame, where it belongs.

Read and enjoy here.

11. It's GOTTA be

And if you don't believe me, check it out. It's unbelievable.

on edit - fumgers got fingled - just read the reply.

[donco6]

13. It's GOTTA Be Red Dawn

And if you don't believe me, check it out. It's unbelievable.

[dolo amber]

12. Clash of the Titans

Those effects weren't very special. :P

[BigMcLargehuge]

52. Ray Harryhausen was a master animator

he was self taught then worked with animation legend Willis O'brien (the man behind 1933's King Kong) on Mighty Joe Young. Say what you want about Clash of the Titans, but his "Dynamation" technique was excellent.

[bif]

14. Rocky Horror Picture Show

n/t

[qwertyMike]

16. The Natural

[LadeJarl]

17. Gigli (n/t)

[leftist_rebel1569]

18. The Pumaman!

Props to MST3K for bringing that horrid movie to my attention...

[mitchum]

19. "Forrest Gump" or "It's A Wonderful Life"

can't decide

[onehandle]

22. It's A Wonderful Life!!!?

Capra was a genius.

See "You can't take it with you" and Mr. Smith goes to Washington". His films were all about what Democrats are fighting for.

[mitchum]

37. I have seen all of Capra's work...

and I stand by my assessment

[mlawson]

21. The Blob.

For one thing, Steve McQueen is the star, cast as a teenager, even though he was at least in his 30s. But the Blob itself was about as scary as a big pile of Silly Putty...

[blueraven95]

23. Kiss Me Deadly

But its so much fun

[newyawker99]

56. Hi blueraven95!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[SmileyBoy]

25. I gotta go with Armageddon.

The plot was not physically possible. I mean, an asteriod the size of TEXAS???? The largest asteroid, Ceres, is 650 miles in diameter, and it does NOT cross Earth's path. The largest that does cross our path, Eros, is 12-15 miles long, and we already have a spacecraft on that thing studying it.

[terrya]

28. Hearing Ben Affleck singing "Leaving on a Jetplane"...

Was truly one of the most traumatic moments in my film going experience.

[SOteric]

27. Battlefield Earth, Endless Love, Ishtar, Speed 2, Gigli and

The cheesiest of all: From Justin to Kelly.

[drb]

29. "Purple Hearts"

The only redeeming social value is seeing Cheryl Ladd in a bra. First he thinks she's dead, then she thinks he's dead and by the time the movie is over, you wish they were both dead. (Stolen from a review I read long ago...)

[geniph]

30. RoadHouse

is there really another contender? once that monster has been considered?

[Zomby Woof]

49. YES!!!!

That was going to be MY vote! I remember ProfessorGAC and I both confessed to how COMPELLINGLY CHEESY this movie is, but we MUST watch every time TNT airs it. I was in tears by the end of that exchange.

Besides, it has Sam Elliot, and even straight guys like me swoon over him! :D

[ProfessorGAC]

55. I Love That Movie!

Yeah, i know, it's a total piece of crap. But, for some reason i watch it every time it's on. A guilty pleasure, i guess!
The Professor

[Rowdyboy]

31. Plan 9 From Outer Space

n/t

[JackDragna]

44. Future events that may affect you...in the future!

[jenm]

32. Little Shop of Horrors

Seymour grows a plant named Audrey Junior that thrives on meat and resorts to killing the flower shop patrons after hours. Very young Jack Nicholson spends some very funny time in the dentist's chair.

[jonnyblitz]

33. Officer and a Gentleman is right up there...

[Skittles]

34. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS

CHEESE ROYALE

[Kathy in Cambridge]

38. Valley of the Dolls-so bad I can quote from it!

"Look, they drummed you right outta Hollywood. So you come CRAWLING back to BRAWDWAY. Well Brawdway doesn't go for booze and dope!"

Helen Lawson to Neely O'Hara

[LynneSin]

46. That book was so freaking cheesy but I loved it

I wish they make that into a mini-series. I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

They could update it for our times - instead of dolls they could be taking 'baby blues' (as Rush so fondly calls them)

[zbdent]

35. Maybe not cheesiest, but it deserves a mention

I'm not military, but even I had an army relative chuckling at my picking apart of "US Seals".

Am I wrong, or is it SOP to walk down the middle of the street while your enemy is holed up in all the sniper positions? I guess that the enemy doesn't realize that you cannot be hit, while you just point your gun in the general direction of a point on Earth, and they are plugged between the eyes.

Or am I remembering wrong?

Another honorable mention is any of Chuck Norris' Missing in Action films.

[Speck Tater]

40. Battlefield Earth. Hands down. Species 2 a distant second.

[qwertyMike]

42. The Alamo

I just saw the trailer.
To be released Xmas Day.

Honest!

[DEM FAN]

43. Jerry Springer's Ring Master.

:shrug:

[7th_Sephiroth]

47. well

Transformers, the movie

[arwalden]

48. MOMMIE DEAREST

"Tina, WHY? Why can't you give me the same respect I'd get from a stranger on the street!?"

"Because... I am NOT... one of your... FA-A-ANS!"

[LynneSin]

54. No... wire... hangers... EVER!!

Joan Crawford: No...wire...hangers! What's wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers EVER?!!! I work and work 'till I'm half-dead, and I hear people say, "She's getting old." And what do I get? A daughter....who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her...as she cares about me! What's wire hangers doing in this closet?! Answer me! I buy you beautiful dresses, and you treat them like some dishrag. You do! Three hundred dollar dress on a wire hanger! We'll see how many you've got if they're hidden somewhere. We'll see...we'll see. Get out of that bed! All of this is coming out! Out! Out! Out! You've got any more? We're gonna see how many wire hangers you've got in your closet. Wire hangers, why? Why? Christina, get out of that bed! Get out of that bed! You live in the most beautiful house in Brentwood and you don't care if your clothes are stretched out from wire hangers. And your room looks like some two-dollar refurnished room in some two-bit back street town in Okalahoma! Stand up! Get up! Clean up this mess!

[noonwitch]

50. It's a Wonderful Life.

God, I hate that cornball movie.

[MountainLaurel]

53. Strange Brew

Iron Eagle (Red Dawn reminded me of this one)
Any TV adaptation of a Danielle Steel novel

[kodi]

57. hello dolly

good grief. i had to sit thru that when i took my grandmom to see it decades ago. i just hoped no one saw me leave the theater.

[thom1102]

58. I got netflix a while ago...

and I thought it was my gay duty to view all the gay films that are out there to "support my people" as it were. Well, there is a line from this season's Will & Grace where will explains to Barry that all gay film sucks... I never really knew the depth to which film could suck until I rented a little film called Under One Roof. Good God! It made 70's blacksplotation films look like modern big budget box-office blockbusters (like that alliteration?) Horrible, simply horrible. (Worth a watch just to see how absolutely horrible film making can be!)
