Okay, so I’m gonna level: I have been having what Eli has cheerfully described as “a string of bad luck.” I lost my mind in an interview, left my keys at home by mistake this morning, and of course, there’s the haircut! Overworked, Underslept, I could do with some escapism. And that’s when we turn to the movies.
I’m gonna tell ya, don’t waste a dime on any of that crap Hollywood’s churning out. Mincing hipsters acting uncomfortable with adulthood? Bleagh. Michael Bay-directed 3D movie based on toys from your childhood? Barf. You’ll forget these movies before the end credits are finished rolling! Don’t even bother. Stay in and watch something you’ll regret for the REST of your LIFE!
XANADU (1980)
If you love the tackiest parts of the 80’s without shame, this movie will put a song in your heart (ELO!) and give you reason to go on…”really believing”…and confirms what we already knew from Grease: that Olivia Newton-John is a goddess. Okay, a muse. Whatever.
If you liked Grease, but wished there were more overt sexual innuendos, might I introduce you to Grease 2? See if you can spot all three songs that are unabashedly about doin’ it. It’s just as catchy, just as campy, and Michelle Pfeiffer plays the ingenue. Genius!
SHOWGIRLS (1995)
You’ll never be able to watch Sex and the City reruns in the same light again after you see Kyle MacLachlan violating Jesse Spano from Saved By The Bell. If nothing else, you should pick up a few great dance moves…not that I recommend doing them all topless.
NIGHT OF THE COMET (1984)
EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY (1988)
It’s a sci-fi musical. A SCI-FI MUSICAL!?!?!? Geena Davis. Jim Carrey. A Wayans. And JEFF GOLDBLUM. There are makeover montages. Dance battles. And oh did I mention IT’S A SCI-FI MUSICAL?!?! If you watch it once, I guarantee you’ll come back again and again. This gem sits in the Netflix instant queue to be watched anytime I’m feeling low. Consider it my gift to you.
THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT (1996)
This movie actually isn’t bad at all – but it’s AWESOME. Geena Davis again, this time in a deadly assassin capacity. When your significant other tries to convince you to watch Die Hard for the fourth time this week, try suggesting this movie. It’s amazing to think we don’t have more action movies featuring fierce and kickass ladies, but if that’s something you’d like to see, you will LOVE this movie.
Oh my gosh! I've seen that night of the comet movie.. Was there a video game in it? Where one of the girls was trying to beat the high score person? hmm… I liked it. lol
♥Janette, the Jongleur
YES!!!!! RDK!!! I love that movie so much, it's surprisingly VERY good, though it's rife with eye-roll moments. There should be a criteria for judging awesomely bad movies. I shall devise a rubric, said the Type A personality!!
I have seen all of these except Night of the Comet…I now must watch this movie!
Oh yes absolutely! It's amazing!!! The contradictions! The plot holes! It's incredible! And YOU have some good taste in movies, lady!!!
So what the hell happened to Geena Davis??? Was there, like, one specific year where she turned old and wasn't allowed to make movies anymore? I miss her.
She became a feminist. No, really, she started an organization that aims to help improve women's image in media, I believe Miss Representation was partly her brainchild? Dying to see that one. Anyways, she and I have the same problem, I guess…we're too smart to get plastic surgery so we can dance around in a bikini and act helpless so Hollywood (and showbiz) has no place for us. Somedayyyyy, somewherreeeeee….
