Road House begins and ends the discussion of great bad movies.

Road House is something else, it's not what I'm talking about. It's great and it's bad but it's just too darn competent to be a great bad movie.

I would say it's because the major tone of Road House is genre movie, not dumb movie. That's it. Road House, somehow, is just not gloriously, intentionally, dumb enough. You get the idea that at some moment during Road House somebody -- probably the chick in the picnic tablecloth dress -- was actually trying.

Eurotrip.

I only even heard about it because of the video for "Scotty Doesn't Know." I did not expect anything.

It is ridiculously, stupidly funny.

Agreed -- I love this movie. And the cameo of Matt Damon makes me smile everytime.

I haven't seen Road House, but having just gone to see Point Break for the first time (they have Cult Classics on the 3rd Thursday of the month at our local theater and the June movie was the original Point Break), tcbg and I decided we should watch Road House too.
 
Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

ewe: you need to not only watch Road House, you need to OWN a copy. It's that gloriously bad.

Horsemen:

A recently widowed detective still grieving over his wife's death discovers a shocking connection between a serial killing spree and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

It's "Se7en"-lite. Hack writing, but man, the actors did the most with it and salvaged it. Ziyi Zhang continues to be one of my fave actresses in her role. Definitely recommend despite the obvious flaws for this type of movie.

Road House isn't that good. There are only a half dozen movies everyone should own. That's not even in the top 50. Or 100.

THAT'S THE POINT. It is an awesomely horrible movie. I mean, come on. "I used to f* guys like you in jail" is supposed to be intimidating? "Pain don't hurt." "No one wins a fight." Turrible.
 
Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

I don't see the point of owning a movie that sucks. I mean now many times can you go MST3K on the same bit?

I still laugh when I pop in Rock Of Ages. Same with Road House. Sometimes you just need some dumb hilarious entertainment. :)

Although not Dalton, what a great line:

The best way to watch Road House is to be channel surfing and run across it. It is perpetually on TNT, TBS, and Spike.

"Be nice until it's time not to be nice."

"Well how are we gonna know when that is?"

"You won't. You are the bouncer. I am the cooler."

Fun stat from Wikipedia:

In the United States, civil liability and court costs related to the use of force by bouncers are "the highest preventable loss found within the [bar] industry"

Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

And dont forget the classic:

"A bear fell on me!"

And you dont MST3K Road House (or Point Break) you watch them and marvel in their glory!
 
Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

Being called a ********** isn't personal?

- No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response.

What if somebody calls my mama a whore?

- Is she?

It's the new version of the Caine-Hackman Theory: He's finishing his senior thesis. Pigman is trying to prove the Caine-Hackman theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV.

Road House or Shawshank Redemption are on tv, at any given time, on some channel, somewhere.

I sh-t you not. I read this and my immediate thought was Ski School. Which, BTW, I have not watched or thought about in 20 years.

We each had about 20,000 terrible movies to choose from and we both picked the same one. That has to mean something.

My other choice would be Top Secret!

That's cause Ski School rules.

"Whose underwear is that?"
