What movies can you absolutely make zero case for as good movies, but are absolutely enthralled with?
Phantom of the Opera.
Once again, Betsy is me. Except I'm betting she wouldn't put Queen of the Damned on her list.
Willow, check you out! Witch-Fu!
Buffy ,'Lessons'
Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

If I only had a brain...

I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch Van Helsing. Or League of Extraordinary Gentleman.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
the movie that occurred to me was one I flipped on to recently: FLASH GORDON.
Ditto! The soundtrack is part of what makes the film so... so... itself.
Ice Pirates...
This, too. Much fun.
The other movie that falls into this category for me is "Zorro the Gay Blade." Cracks. Me. Up. (One cent, two cents, three cents a peso! All those for Zorro, stand up and say so!)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or League of Extraordinary Gentleman.
There is nothing good or fun about this movie, even by flashy camp standards. NOTHING.

I have a friend who swears it's worth watching for Mina's costumes, but I don't know if I believe her.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Underworld. If we did have cable, and I happened to catch it, I'd have to watch for the pretty. And then turn it off when Scott Speedman turned into whateverthehell he was.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Still the casting was perfect, the music is fun, the world they created is detailed and beautifully other.
And like a lot of Altman, a great film for playing "hey, it's that guy".
I liked Quintet.
Actually so did I, but I have a fondness for ponderous, end-of-the-world movies. It really needed to be dubbed into Russian and subtitled.

We have the deluxe edition on DVD! Because Pete can go "Ooooh, guns and fight scenes and things blowing up!" and I can go "Oooooh, vampires in pretty clothes in a mansion that should be mine!"
Another movie we watch strictly for the pretty and the fight scenes? Brotherhood of the Wolf.
