Note: Not that I consider these to be terrible movies. It's just the looks I get when explaining the plots of these movies to non-geeks makes me feel like a huge dork.

That movie has some of great banter between characters!

My favorite is when the Captain is talking to his First Mate about the newest robot:

Cpt: Why'd you make him black?
FM: Because I wanted him to be perfect.

I have plans for a Rogue Stars crew that will steal heavily from Ice Pirates.

It's probably been 25 years since I've seen that movie. Ron Pearlman and Angelica Houston were in it.

But there’s just a certain dedication to crassness that keeps me coming back for more!


Kudos to your tastes. Many people don't even know what a Giallo is, and should be feeling guilty about not knowing!

For me, the main attraction is that they could all have been genuinely good thrillers, had they focussed less on fleshy excess, and more on the plot. Most of them build it up, then blow it. Of course, the dodgy dubbing and low production values don’t help.

Superargo VS Dibolikus - A masked wrestler becomes a secret agent and fights a madman & his army of evil robots.

Santo VS The Vampire Women - A masked wrestler (Santo) is tasked with a rescue mission against an army of vampire women.

The Champion of Justice - A masked wrestler (Blue Demon) fights a mad scientist that can transform dwarves into an army of super strong assassins. Hmmmmm

Santo VS The She Wolves - A masked wrestler (Santo again) taking on the Queen of the werewolves & her army of werewolves.

I'm sorry but every action movie ever made would be vastly improved by having a masked Mexican wrestler brawling in it somewhere. Oh and a Samurai should show up too.

Deep Blue Sea

This movie is worse than Sharknado III, but slightly better than Sharknado II.

At any rate, it's saving grace and the ONLY reason to watch this movie is this one scene. Stanley Kubrick, eat your heart out.

I've always considered the lord of the rings and the hobbit sagas extremely boring but the first movie is actually a lot of fun IMHO.

It’s sort of a National Treasure film, but without Nic Cage”s bizarre charisma.

Well, Saffron Burrows is in it. And she was younger back then. So two reasons/saving graces.

And Thomas Jane. That dude saves pretty much any movie he's in. They should have had him play Batman...

Starship Troopers was a satire in the same vein as Robocop. If anything, it's only gotten more relevant with age.

I have this odd thing for cheesy car chase movies, i blame Death Proof.

Gone in 60 Seconds

Bullet
Gumball Rally
Cannonball Run 1
Cannonball Run 2
2 Lane Black Top
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

I also really like John Candy movies but Armed and Dangerous will always be my fave for one scene and one scene alone.
