Hudson Hawk. Watched it a bunch on HBO, then took a risk years later and still liked it.

The trailer really does not help.

I never understood why nobody seemed to like this movie, it's great!

Same goes for the Last Action Hero and Mystery Men. What's not to love?!

Saw Last Action Hero in the theater and loved it, then was super confused when it became obvious people didn't get the satire.

I loved Howard the Duck as a kid.

Having seen it again recently, I think I like it more now.

Xanadu (1980) was the film that was supposed to capitalise on the success of Grease and propel Olivia Newton John to mega-stardom by cashing in on the hip new dance sensation, Roller-Disco. But it took so long to pull together they were still rewriting the script when it came to shooting and only kept ahead by locking Joel Silver in a room with a load of cocaine and not letting him out until they had pages to shoot. By the time it came out the craze had long passed, nobody could work out why Gene Kelly also appeared in the film, the whole thing was barely held together camp nonsense and was instantly killed by the one word review "Xana-don't". It later went on to inspire the creation of the Razzies. Possibly BECAUSE it was so notorious the tie in 10 inch promotional picture disk of the main theme is now one of the rarest and most expensive records on the collector market.

But, but. It wears it heart on its sleeve, any time Olivia Newton John is performing she just radiates joy, the ELO-provided soundtrack is a time capsule of a less cynical era, and who doesn't love camp nonsense? Well, lots of people. But I saw this when I was 6 and fell in love with it, believed in muses, and even though on a rewatch I can't defend it on just about any level, I still kinda love it. It's trash, but I love it.

Loved it as a kid, love it now. The introduction of the muses really holds up considering the state of the effects industry at the time.

Thought of another, Dream a Little Dream (1989) starring The Coreys, Meredith Salenger, and Jason Robards.

Corey Feldman pretending to be Jason Robards, ridiculous 80s music covers, and a surprise Harry Dean Stanton.

And, of course Corey in the early part of his Micheal Jackson phase.

The Last American Virgin

I haven't heard much in the way of opinions good or bad. It's got low-brow humor and is a bit raunchy in parts, but it's got a great 80s soundtrack. The main character is a decent enough guy, but, goddamn, that ending.

Punch in the gut and a kick in the balls at the same time, then you get to wallow in it while the credits roll. Love it.

oh yeah, for new content: So I Married An Axe Murderer. Mike Myers sucks and it's a bad movie but I love all of Anthony LaPaglia's bits as the nice guy cop who really wants his life to be a hardass cop movie.

And the late great Phil Hartman as Vicky
