Only 4 1/2 stars?
I love that movie
He-man. I still don’t get the hate it received.
Underrated classic
Oh, I forgot to mention the not good movies that I watched over and over again on VHS in my childhood.
Number one would be the 1959 version of Journey to the Center of the Earth where James Mason plays a Scotsman and doesn't even bother with an accent and Pat Boone also plays a Scotsman but gives up on the accent after about 10 minutes. The whole plot is moronic and the effects are terrible and I love every single minute of it. The only true compliment I can give it is that Bernard Herrmann's soundtrack is terrific.
Then there was the 1980 attempt that Disney made to appeal to college kids, Midnight Madness. It was a total flop and I love every single minute of it. FAGABEEFE!
Third would be an animated movie that was made in France and dubbed into English called The Secret of the Selenites. It was a Baron Munchausen film, but I'm guessing they thought Americans wouldn't know who that was, so they left his name out of the title. It has a terrible pop song in the beginning that is in the "so bad it's good" territory.
For me its Fatty Finn. A 1980 movie adaptation of an Australian cartoon strip character from the 1930s. Why it was translated and published in Norway and what made my mother buy it I don't know. But I have seen it enough times that now over 30 years after I last saw it I can probably quote parts if it Verbatim.
Sleepaway Camp
Krull the conqueror which not only is a terrible movie but also a terrible game and I love both. Then again Im 50 and I love many bad videoganes from the Atari era such as ET or Delta Force (also bad game and movie also produced by Cannon films)
edit Krull not Kull the Conqueror

I've always enjoyed it for what it was; A campy, goofy movie based on a video game. It never took itself too seriously, and it just kind of accepted itself. Just watched Borderlands, for example, and it was horrible and flat. The characters were there, but they weren't the characters, just 2D imaginings of them. Anyway, looking up reviews, I found a great one that compared it to the '93 SMB. They said that we needed another SMB, and we didn't get it, Borderlands wasn't "interestingly stupid". That's a great term. Interestingly Stupid is definitely what SMB was, simultaneously a blast, while also being the dumbest thing you ever saw, and you can never quite put your finger on the reason it(kinda) worked.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad. (2000) So bad it led to the franchise getting bought by ~~SHiT~~ HiT Entertainment. Less said about the show after that the better. Still, the OST is a bop, and Neil Crone was entertaining as hell to watch as Diesel 10.
Is she corpulent? Very corpulent?
