That's a great film.
Yup, loved it. Along with Heathers and Pump up the Volume.

I'm a bit of a Slater fan though.

Who Dares Wins. Comically dated 80's SAS film with the late Lewis Collins in the lead role. Love it.
One of my favourites. Loved it as a kid - still love it now.

Heartbreak Ridge - awful army film with Clint Eastwood. Regularly on one of the ITV channels that specialise in this sort of guff - I have to watch it everytime it's shown.

The book on which they based the film is a truly great read. The film is somewhat of a let down.

Was watching Convoy.....epic film and always watch it whenever possible.

Weird Science too takes me back to my youth and lusting after Kelly Le Brock. Also has the late Bill Paxman in it too.

Love Convoy!

Was genuinely upset by the ending as a kid.

After reading this thread I have come to the conclusion I must love crap films as I've watched most of the films mentioned (some more than once)

Kevin and Perry go Large, love it, not sure why, just makes me laugh.
I've seen that film so many times, it's a funny look at teenage life, cracking characters & helped along by a great soundtrack!

Maybe not, quite a lot of the films mentioned here aren't crap at all, though blimey, that list with HYperspace in it (it kicked off a memory) certainly was.

If it was st but lovable chances are it was made by Cannon Movies. A lot mentioned on the thread were done by them .If you have never seen it then watch Electric Boogaloo- the wild untold story of Cannon films. I think still available on Youtube. Full of crazy stories and clips from old action stars about how the daftest of films we now secretly love were cobbled together and promised to be Oscar winners!!

I love watching The Rock and Con Air. Maximum Cage Cheese, but really enjoyable films.

Also three of my favourite films ever, which I must have watched over 100 times between them, are Rocky Horror Picture Show, Bugsy Malone and Little Shop of Horrors.

Saw Twister last night for the billionth time. It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever (other than Helen Hunt being well buff, obvs) but I can happily while away a couple of hours watching such rubbish.

I also find myself engrossed in any football hooligan film that's on too, they take crap to a whole new level all of their own.

Another cow.





Crash and Burn. Robot Jox 2...but not quite. All film and about 5 minutes of robot.

Any 80s cheesy horror film. Teenage camp fire/dorm. 100 year anniversary. Awaken of a lost witch. Usual cheap crap. Stuff almost writes itself.

Great film!
Do love the bit where its filmed in a balaclava.
Nothing like watching the action bit through two holes...
The glorious final 10 minutes.

His nose must be about 8 inches long to get that two hole view.
I think that was the view from the special ops horse.

Damn if only the terrorists had realised all they had to was stand directly in front and they'd not be seen.

Reminds me a lot of the twin circle binocular view we almost always get in films and tv.
