Great Bad Movies

I have recently come across to many people that have not seen the instant David Bowie classic ‘Labyrinth’. This irrationally bothers me in ways I can’t even explain. It is no secret I love crappy movies, especially from the 80’s and early 90’s, back in the days when movies didn’t have epic budgets, special effects where horrible, and no one took movie making too seriously. The following is a list of old movies everyone should see at least once in their life. In no particular order:

-Legend…Tom Cruise + Unicorns + Ridley Scott= Amazing
-Labyrinth… David Bowie + Jim Henson + George Lucas + singing = CAN’T MISS
-Brave Little Toaster… Appliances Come Alive + fun animation =poor man’s Toy Story
-Milo and Otis… Cute Puppy + Adorable Kitten + mischief = a hobo’s Homeward Bound
-Willow… Val Kilmore + a little person + medieval times= Lord of the Rings
-They Live…Roddy Piper + Undercover Aliens – Bubble Gum = KICK ASS
-Angus… Fat Kid + Skinny kid + James Van Der Beek= 90’s version of any Molly Ringwald movie
-Joe Verses the Volcano…Tom Hanks + Meg Ryan +Meg Ryan + Meg Ryan=Epic Adventure
-Weekend at Bernie’s 2…Reanimated corpse + The Single Guy + Andrew McCarthy= Vacation for the brain
-Killer Klowns from Outer Space…Clowns + Alien invasion + Cotton Candy= Reason to fear clowns
-Stay Tuned… John Ritter + Satan + Trapped in a TV= Must watch TV
-Short Circuit (1 & 2)…Robot + Lightening = Johnny 5 is ALIVE
-Gremlins 2: The New Batch…NYC + Gremlins + Phoebe Cats = Hilarity
-Mom and Dad Save the World…Jon Lovits + Spaceballs – Mel Brooks =Just a bad movie all around
-Flash Gordon… Ashton Kutcher wannabe + James Bond + Space Travel = A real trip
-Masters of the Universe… He-man + Monica from friends- annoyingness = Nightmares, but the good kind

Sure this list could go on forever, but these are the crucial ones. By no means are these movies great in any real sense of why people would usually like a movie (exception being labyrinth) and all need to be viewed with a certain grain of salt, but they all fill a certain whole in one’s heart, soul, and mind.
