Yes, my point was that many people think its a really bad movie because they don't "get it". If you "get it", you realize its brilliant satire and actually a very well done movie. Not just low budget cheese like "it appears".

Mars Attacks was on just the other day. I can't believe that some people think they were being serious!

It's great!

DVD-worthy if it wasn't so simple.

I like Mars Attacks. Funny special effects and story. Great movie to kill an hour or two with. As always Tim Burton's knack for visually appealing shots is there, which is a big plus. (I fail to see how anyone could think this movie was serious about anything. I'm not even sure they intended it to be very funny. I wouldn't put it past Burton to decide to do a really weird/bad movie for poops and giggles.)

IMdB is always a good source for fun facts: Tim Burton has said many times that he was told repeatedly he could not kill off Jack Nicholson's character in a movie. This led to his decision to cast Nicholson in 2 roles, both of which are killed off.

I haven't got a movie of my own. I guess one of my absolute favorites UFH by 'Weird Al' Yankovic could qualify, but I refuse to call it a bad movie. It has a good plot line, wonderful scenes (learning poodles to fly = funny) and a good cast. Also, anything with Yankovic in latex muscles is impossible to call bad...

My favorite cheeseball 80's action movie:

Commando

I love how 50 guys open up on Ahhnold with AK-47's at a range of 20 yards and they ALL MISS! He doesn't even get nicked!

Interestingly enough, Die Hard was originally supposed to be "Commando 2" but Schwarzenegger was not interested, so the script was re-written and they got Bruce Willis. The rest is history! (and a much better movie, actually)

Great choice!! One of the cheesiest action flicks of all time and if I see it on TV I can't resist it!! I think it has to do with Rae Dong Chong more than Arnie though.

My favourite soo bad it good movie is John Calude Van Damme's Double Impact, it is soo bad it is good.

Another classic is Street Fighter it the worst movie ever, that is official, but it sooo bad it just makes it good.

There Also Not Another Teen Movie that is proper funny and soo bad at the same time.
