"Who was Joan of Arc?"
"Noah's wife?"

earth girls are easy was a  cheesy 80's movie but i love it and its from 1988 the year i was born heh

I loved Bill and Ted too, I loved how they pronounced 'Beeth-oven' and 'So-crates' so funny :D

Alongside that I lurrrve...

The Breakfast Club
Back To the Future I & II (III was 90s right? Also wasn't that great!)
Mannequin (very cheesy!)
Pretty In Pink
The Goonies - even though I wouldn't really call it all that cheesy, it's a classic!
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (now that's what I call cheesy!)

Pee Wee's Big Adventure :D

Pee Wee's Big Adventure :D


One of my favorite films...

"Exactly! I bought this pen one hour before my bike was stolen. Why? What's the significance? I don't know!"  ;D

It has to be one of the most underrated comedies of all time. This is one of the best movies to get stoned to. You will laugh all the way through it.

Pee wee's big adventure
Footloose
Cocktail
About Last night

Is Beetlejuice considered cheesy?  ;D

my favorites were mel brooks movies
history of the world part I (1981)
spaceballs (1986)

and john cusack movies
better off dead (1985)
one crazy summer (1986)

Most of the movies listed I don't see as cheesy. Cocktail? Pretty In Pink?  ??? ???

Pee wee's movies were cheesy as were the Airplane ones and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Wasnt there one witht Julie Brown..Earth Girls Are Easy?

I loved One Crazy Summer and the Revenge of the Nerds movies too... Airplane was  great too.. I liked the Naked Gun Movies as well but not the Police Academy ones...

My thoughts exactly. You're totally right most of the above metioned aren't cheesy at all. I think most people see "Cheesy 80s Movies" in the title of the post & just start running off a list of the most common & their favourite 80s flicks. I don't blame them it's hard to resist, but there are just so many that truly were cheesy that have practically faded into obsurity &/or non existance. The Police Academies, now they were cheesy but very fun & likable. Rad & BMX Bandits were both pretty cheesy, but again very fun & likable. Tones of forgoten B grade 80s horror flicks were cheesy especially the rock/heavy metal one's like Black Roses & Trick Or Treat, although i looooved Trick Or Treat & it's one of my all time favourite movies. Then there were a tone of those B grade comedies that everyone's probably totally forgoten all about like My Mom's A Werewolf etc etc. And what about the ninja film craze in the 80s & all those martial arts flicks aswell like No Retreat No Serender. If i had to make a list i could be here for a while.

TOTALLY! I forgot about the Police Academy movies. Those were cheesy. As friend of mine loves the movie Yellowbeard. Very cheesy!

Back To the Future I & II (III was 90s right? Also wasn't that great!)

Yeah, Parts II and III were actually filmed back to back. In fact, for a long time, it was scripted as one continuous film and went through several changes before it was decided to make it two movies. Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis both agreed they wanted III to be a change of pace since they'd done all they could with Marty and his family, so the goal was to focus more on Doc.

III wasn't released until mid-1990.

But -- (1) 1990 was still the 80's as far as pop culture goes, (2) it was thought up in the late 80's, and (3) their present time is still 1985 -- so I'll still count it as close enough. ;)

^ Yeah I know I'm a total geek with anything BTTF! ;D

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (now that's what I call cheesy!)

Glad I'm not the only one who likes that one! If it has any claim to fame, it co-stars a young Helen Hunt.

Zapped was pretty cheesy and I loved it!!!

I completly forgot about Footloose - I love that film, and it's very cheesy!

Strange Brew

"I was the last one left after the nuclear holocaust, eh. The whole world had been destroyed, like U.S. blew up Russia and Russia blew up U.S. Fortunately, I had been offworld at the time. There wasn't much to do. All the bowling alleys had been wrecked. So's I spent most of my time looking for beer. "  ;D

One of my favorite films....  ;D

^ That's one of the few Rick Moranis movies I've never seen. From what I've heard (and what you just said) it sounds pretty funny though!

BTW, Footloose was a great movie (with an even better soundtrack!), but did anyone ever think that town was stuck about 30 years in the past (well, 50 years now)? Do you think it was supposed to be an accurate representation of certain Bible Belt/conservative small towns - it seems like something more out of the 50's than 1984 IMO.

It should've taken place today. You wouldn't hear any complaints from me if they banned, say dancing to Eminem, LOL! How could anyone hate on such fun 80s songs, though?

That was a WAY different John Lithgow than I was used to seeing as really funny on 3rd Rock From the Sun. ;)

"License to Drive"
"Welcome to 18"
  :D

One of Lithgow's best roles was as a ruthless killer in Cliffhanger.  He had a fake accent in it that always makes me laugh ... "You s'chew-pid Bahstahd"  ;D


The best Lithgow performance is in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banazi....

http://alicia-logic.com/capsimages/bb_082JohnLithgow.jpg

"Laugh while you can, monkey-boy!"  ;D

;D yep I loved Just one of the guys...I loved the sex starved little brother!!...and Better off dead was great...I loved the little Eddie Van Halen singin cheeseburger...sooo funny!!

Spaceballs is another one of my favorites...

Anyone here heard of Ice Pirates?

http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/8970000/8977718.jpg

Now that's a cheesy movie!  ;D

The Wraith (1986) starring Charlie Sheen

Timerider (1982) starring Fred Ward

Battle Beyond The Stars (1980) starring Richard Thomas

;D yep I loved Just one of the guys...I loved the sex starved little brother!!...and Better off dead was great...I loved the little Eddie Van Halen singin cheeseburger...sooo funny!!



I LOVED THE LITTLE BROTHER IN JUST ONE OF THE GUYS... I saw him in a commercial not too long ago.... Hes still so cute.... He tickeld me in that movie... I liked the part where one of the many times when he struck out and he looked at his crotch and said " Sorry SPIKE!!"  ;D  That was so funny... He remided me of the boys on my street when i was growing up... HORN DOGS ;).. I was one of 2 girls , the only ones on the street so we came across alot of teenage boys in my area!!!

;D  Yep I know what you mean..I had soo many JUST like him in my nieghborhood...Remember the old line.."Sit in my lap and lets see what comes up?"...LOL...I thought of another flick..I think it was the 80s.." The Lost Boys"..I didnt really think it was that cheesy...Well..In some parts..but I thought it was Cool!!

Hardbodies, basically anything that they showed late at night on USA.

;D yep I loved Just one of the guys...I loved the sex starved little brother!!...and Better off dead was great...I loved the little Eddie Van Halen singin cheeseburger...sooo funny!!


Meant to respond to this earlier. I like Better Off Dead too - just saw it for the first time a couple months back. I've gotta admit, at first I wasn't that into it, but in the second half it picked up (I get a kick out of that homicidal paperboy, Johnny - "I want my two dollars!"). ;D

It's one of those movies that takes a few viewings to make an impression and set in, if that makes sense. Actually, to a degree, you could say the BTTF's are that way too.

Never saw Just One of the Guys - what's that like?

I am surprised no one mentioned UHF....  ;D

Wheel of Fish is my favorite of the film....  ;D

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing! STUPID! You're so STU-PIIIIIIIIIIID!"  ;D

Couldn't agree more. Weird Al is one of my heroes - I instantly loved the movie the first time I saw it in 1992 (about the time I got into his then new album, Off the Deep End).

Outside of BTTF, it might just be my favorite.

Interestingly, upon the time of its release, it tanked at the box office (then again it didn't have a decent shot in the summer of '89, with Batman and other great blockbusters coming out). Yet it's become a real cult classic over the years.

I also got it on special DVD, the commentary for the film is hilarious, they even got Michael Richards as guest commentor for the DVD too.

He played the janitor/kids show host in the film.

What about this classic Academy Award Winner (NOT)  ;D

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00094ARVO.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

Top Secret is also a good movie too...  ;D

I loved Top Secret.  I had to own that as soon as it came on DVD.  Speaking of Val Kilmer, how 'bout Real Genius?  That was a fantastic film :)

I have yet to see that film, I gotta check it out...

Labyrinth and Teen Wolf...(or was Teen Wolf early 90's??)

Killer Clowns from Outer Space.

Labyrinth and Teen Wolf...(or was Teen Wolf early 90's??)


Good movie - that was 1985 so it's the total heart of the 80's.

In fact, it was Michael J Fox's last "pre superstardom" role. He shot it just before the first BTTF while he was also working full time on Family Ties.

It's not something I'd consistantly watch, but it's a cool "cult classic".

Yeah, there were a lot of cheesy movies and I must admit, many of them I like.  :-[  I could list the usual ones (Airplace, History of the World, Part I etc.) but I will list the ones that haven't been mentioned yet.


Student Bodies
Midnight Madness (with an extremely young Michael J. Fox)
Clue
Grease 2
Doctor Detroit
The Jerk
The Man with Two Brains
The Lonely Guy
L.A. Story (but this might be in the 90s)
(Yeah, I love Steve Martin)


I'm sure there are a lot more but these are the ones that I can think of right now.



Cat

How did I forget Grease 2 - so so SO cheesy!

Spaceballs (1987)

http://tinyurl.com/bl3el

I have loads of 80s cheesy films in my DVD collection that I love.  8)

Flash Gordon
Woman in red
Dragnet
Spaceballs
Police Academy
Labyrinth
Princess Bride
Goonies
Pretty in Pink
Mannequin
Little shop of horrors
Masters of the Universe
Gremlins
Willow

All are brilliantly cheesy IMO.  8)

Midnight Madness (with an extremely young Michael J. Fox)


Can you believe I've not yet seen that one? ;)

I like Steve Martin quite a bit as well. First time I saw The Jerk was in 1993 or so when I caught it on TV (my dad recommended it to me) - my favorite scene always was when the sniper was shooting at him in the gas station and hit the oil cans.

Navin, being as "dumb" as he was, thought that's what he was aiming for ("He hates these cans!"). ;D

I always thought that Midnight Madness was cute. Check it out. You might like it.


My favorite scene from the Jerk was when his girlfriend was showing him the tatoo that she got with his name on it (on her butt) and he said, "I bet more people see this then the phone book".




Cat

Just remembered another one:

Electric Dreams




Cat

How could all of you have missed "Porky's"?

Here are a few others I have not seen listed:

They Live
Monty Python & The Meaning Of Life
Turk 182
Tron
The Last Starfighter
Xanadu
The Cannonball Run
Night Of The Comet

Killer Clowns from Outer Space.



Oh Yeah now that's cheesy.
Anyone ever seen a New Zealand flick called Bad Taste? It's gotta be the absolute worst & cheasiest movie i've "ever" seen. It was directed by Peter Jackson, the same guy who directed Lord Of The Rings. I found it so hard to sit through all of Bad Taste because it was so stupid & about 15 minutes in i already wanted to switch it off. Such a fitting name for the film.

::) Mushroom...I forgot about Porkys...Sooo funny..I love it when Dude stuck his Hmmm well...Ya know trou the hole and that big PE teacher snatched it up!!!....Also They Live..HAHA wasnt that the one with Rowdy Roddie Piper??? That was Cheesy but I liked it.. Need some of those glasses...we can SEE the ALIENS!!!!

Some people may think the 1986 movie "Lucas" was a bit cheesy. But, I LOVE that movie!  PLus, I'll have to admit I get a few laughs from the Revenge of the Nerds series of films, even though it's such slapstick stuff - it's fun to reminesce that old 80's feeling of cheesiness. One cheesy movie I can't really stand is "Howard the Duck," although I am sure if I catch it anytime soon, it will suck me right in. Another was "Harry and the Hendersons" Another movie I kept watching although I never liked it much and thought it was cheesy.

Actually, Lucas was a much better film than people kind of realise. I remember watching and enjoying it quite some time ago.  :)

Even though I've almost never disagreed with you, I love that one since I first saw it last year - I've since made it a point to watch everything any BTTF castmember is in (especially Lea Thompson). ;)  :-*

Cheesy? Heck yeah. I think it was very "video game-ish" in its special effects and overall storyline. In fact, I'm surprised there wasn't an NES game based on it - and to think they wasted time on the piece of junk BTTF 1 one (just proves not everything with the worlds "Back to the Future" on it are good, LOL)! :D

Howard The Duck is way up there....  ;D

I agree. I have heard others say it was kind of lame though, so that's what I meant that "some" thought it was cheesy - but that doesn't account for us cool folks  ;D

I liked Lucas... It was cute but cheesy :D what about Teen Wolf?

It's cool :0) I guess to me it just was something I couldn't quite get into at the age I watched it. If I see it now, I may view it in another light.  :)

8)  I Liked Teen Wolf also...

My personal three rules for qualification
1. I must believe the movie is actually "cheesy" in either a good way (eg Repo Man) or a bad way (eg Mask).
2. I had to actually like the movie when I saw it, and not just because it was soooo bad.
3. I had to have actually seen the movie in the '80s, not subsequently.

Repo Man (1984, director: Alex Cox)
Something Wild (1986, director: Jonathan Demme)

One Crazy Summer (Another Cusack, and of course, Bobcat Goldthwaite)
Strange Brew (The McKenzie Brothers, created on SCTV to spoof CBC demands for Canadian-oriented programming)
Ice Pirates (I don't remember a lot about this one, but I remember it was cheesy even for cheesy sci-fi)
Buckaroo Bonzai's Adventures in the 8th Dimension (with Lithgow again!)

Oh, what about MAid to Order and April Fools DAY?  cHEESY GOOD :D

D.A.R.Y.L

Have it on DVD. Love it.

also "Less than Zero" even though it was absolutely nothing like the book.

Here are my favorite cheesy 80's movies:

"Deadly Friend" (Horror Film)
The Last Dragon"
"Bad Boys" (Juvenile Jail movie with Sean Penn)
"The Wraith" (Horror)
"Big"
"Walk Like A Man"

McDonald..I have to disagree on Less Than Zero...It wasnt cheesy at all to me..a bit unrealistic in the aspect of the "Richness" of the characters...( Yea we all live in HUGE mansions in Bev Hills!!)...but..the drug use was very right on...I saw ALOT of PPLE that got hooked on crack in the late 80s when it first surfaced...When Robert Downey Jr. died in the movie it made me NEVER want to try crack..

OH OH OH.... What about Swamp Thing and Beastmaster.... Super CHEESE :D :D :D :D :D ;)

OH OH OH.... What about Swamp Thing and Beastmaster.... Super CHEESE :D :D :D :D :D ;)


Swamp Thing is one of my favorite cheesy movies...  ;D

There was one called "Big Man on Campus" which was a "Hunchback of Notre Dame" type theme. He chose the name, Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga.  I thought it was a funny movie.





Cat

Just One of the Guys (1985)

Terry believes her teachers don't take her serious, just because she's a pretty girl. When she fails to win a journalism contest, she decides to switch schools - and gender. She plays her role well and is accepted as one of the guys. However then she meets Rick... and likes him.

Tron is up there on my list as well. The effects look outdated now, but it's still fun to watch..

  Ive never seen Tron... Oh how bout Critters?????? Cheesy fun

Oh Mannequin! I absolutely love that movie!
I don't think it is all that cheesy though!  ::)

  CRITTERS IS SUPER CHEESE        YUMMY :D :D :D :D

Killer Klowns from Outerspace..... Straight Cheese !!!!!

Oh...... I forgot Spies Like Us
                       Over the Top
                       Ghoulies
                       Humanoid

             CHEESE   CHEESE   CHEESE

Can't Buy Me Love

Can't Buy Me Love
  I liked that movie too when I was a kid but that movie is both Cheese and Sleaze!!!  I mean, buying a woman off, How PIMPY of him... LOL... I saw they recently did a sorta remake of the movie.......    Thinking back, that movie was sad... REMEMBER WHAT HE DID TO HIS BEST FRIENDS HOUSE....  OUCH >:(

Ghoulies is pretty chessy, but not as cheesy as Ghoulies 2.  ::)

It's not my favorite, but Rhinestone is pretty cheesy, also worth mentioning Smokey and The Bandit 3.

They were unable to get Burt Reynolds to reprise his role as Smokey, so they got the guy that played the truck driver to fill in instead. Burt however makes a cameo at the end of the film.

I <3 that movie, lol.


Other cheesy movies I love:

License To Drive
Valley Girl
Weird Science
Girls Just Want To Have Fun
Adventures In Babysitting
Back to the Beach
Hairspray

Mainly all of the 80's high school movies.

8) I loved Cant Buy Me Love too..Patrick Demsey was the perfect Nerd..Look how hot he is now...LOL>>>>That really was a great movie....

Just saw Adventures In Babysitting again last night on TV, it's relly cheesy, but it's a;so one of my favorite fiolms too.

I also think that the Friday The 13th series is pretty cheesy, especially with all of the teenagers who go into the woods, even though there is a deadly armed maniac loose!  ;D  ::)

Haha, yeah the teen horror movies are sooooo cheesy from the 80's. 

Freddy Krueger used to scare me when I was a kid, but now when I watch those Nightmare on Elm Street movies I find him pretty funny.

After part two, he became the stand comic from hell.  ::)  ;D

Maximum Overdrive is also a chessy movie too!  ;D

The truck is especially cheesy!  ;D

http://www.geocities.com/happytoyzco/somerig.jpg

Tron is up there on my list as well. The effects look outdated now, but it's still fun to watch..


I really loved Tron.  One of Jeff Bridges' best movies :)

I remember Journey had a single release from the soundtrack called 'Only Solutions'

Here are my favorite cheesy 80's movies:

"Deadly Friend" (Horror Film)
The Last Dragon"
"Bad Boys" (Juvenile Jail movie with Sean Penn)
"The Wraith" (Horror)
"Big"
"Walk Like A Man"



I'll give you "Big" and "Bad Boys," definitely.  "Walk Like A Man," ixnay!  Howie Mandel is the nightly comic at the comedy club...IN HELL!!!!


There was one called "Big Man on Campus" which was a "Hunchback of Notre Dame" type theme. He chose the name, Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga.   I thought it was a funny movie.

I know!  So few people seem to know how funny that movie is.  I mean, it's a bad '80s teen movie, but it's got this really bizarre twist to it with the "Hunchback" theme. "Bob" reminds me of one of the local kooks who walks around Amherst!
IMDB.com indicates Allan Katz (Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga) was a TV writer and producer, and BMOC was his only acting role.  It seems like there would be a career in front of the camera for a guy that talented, but maybe "Bob" was his only schtick.
Dr. Webster (Tom Skerritt): The first thing you need is a name for yourself.
Bob: Judy Finkle.
Dr. Webster: Judy Finkle is a lovely name, but it's a woman's name, you need a man's name.
Bob: William F. Buckley.
Dr. Webster:  I believe there already is a William F. Buckley.
Bob: William G. Buckley.
Dr. Webster: (sighs) You need a name that doesn't sound like anybody else's name...
Bob: Bob.
Dr. Webster: Bob...?
Bob: Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga
Dr. Webster: Bob Maloo....?
Bob: Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga.  One Malooga, four loogas.

That's not the exact dialogue, but it goes something like that!
;D

I was at a party with some twenty-somethings a while back, and these two were saying one of their favorite movies of all time was "Three Amigos."  Talk about a cheesy '80s movie.  But I regailed them with copious quotes, and they were impressed!

Oh...... I forgot Spies Like Us
                 

"Spies Like Us" ROCKS!

That scene where Chevy Chase starts to lose it in the secret service exam reminds me of those tests in college when I wasn't prepared.  I'd sit down with the question and the blue book (remember those evil little blue exam books?) and look at the first question.  Don't know.  Second question.  Don't know.  Then I'd scan down the paper and start to panic, teeth clenched, thinking, I...don't...know...anything, I..., I...don't...know...anything...at all!!!  One time I nearly chewed through a ball point pen!  Anyway, I'd just resign myself to failure, put pen to paper and just start writing.
I'd go to class the next week with a sense of doom.  My blue book would come back: 84%!
;D
Chevy Chase acted very well how I felt during those tests!
OH GOD, I CAN'T TAKE IT! THE PRESSURE! HEART ATTACK, HEART ATTACK! AHHHH! (ROLLING IN THE AISLE)!

"Spies Like Us" ROCKS!

I'd go to class the next week with a sense of doom.  My blue book would come back: 84%!
;D
Chevy Chase acted very well how I felt during those tests!
OH GOD, I CAN'T TAKE IT! THE PRESSURE! HEART ATTACK, HEART ATTACK! AHHHH! (ROLLING IN THE AISLE)!


I like that film as well, it's really funny.  ;D

8)  Maximum Overdrive..Yep..I loved that too...The killer Ice Cream truck freaked me out..

Ghoulies is pretty chessy, but not as cheesy as Ghoulies 2.  ::)
  LOL, nothings Ever cheesier than anything Part 2......  What about HOUSE?? Remember that cheesy movie?

  LOL, nothings Ever cheesier than anything Part 2......   What about HOUSE?? Remember that cheesy movie?

All I remember is it had Richard Moll in it.  You know, "Bull," the big, bald baliff on "Night Court."

Another cheesy movie:

My Science Project

Two high school kids break into a military junkyard to get some stuff for a science project, they discover a glowing orb.  The orb turns out to possess apocalyptic powers, so the kids have to save the world from it. 
I do remember it had Dennis Hopper in it.  That's about it.

i loved the movie House.... Yes, I remember Bull from Night Court, that was a great show too... I vaugley remember My science Project... What about MY BOYFRIENDS BACK? was that from the 80,s? That was cheesy and so was ONCE BITTEN :D

House 2 is even more chessier!  ;D

What about Earth Girls Are Easy? 

I really loved Tron.  One of Jeff Bridges' best movies :)


I can remember liking Tron as well.  The movie had a very unusual look, even by today's standards, and some pretty impressive special effects for its time.  The funny thing is that I didn't recognize Bruce Boxleitner (sp?), who stars in Tron, when he appeared in the "Babylon 5" series years later.  It wasn't until relatively recently when I was watching a rerun of Tron that I realized, "Hey!  That's Captain Sheridan!"  :)

I remember TRON well...I was late to the theatre and had to sit on the front row...Talk about LOUD and Mind Blowing!!

House 2 is even more chessier!  ;D
  HOUSE 2????????  ARGH, SAY IT AINT SO?  I had no idea there was a part 2?

I remember TRON well...I was late to the theatre and had to sit on the front row...Talk about LOUD and Mind Blowing!!


Reading this, I had a sudden vision of Jeff Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" watching "Tron while sittling the front row, stored, and saying "Gnarly!"

Saturday the 14th. :D Anyone remember that movie?

::)  Are U my secret TWIN????  LOL...Read my early posts...I was the female Spicoli...LOL...Checkered Vans...

Was Who's That Girl?  mentioned? Very cheesy!!

  HOUSE 2????????  ARGH, SAY IT AINT SO?  I had no idea there was a part 2?


Yes, there was with Bill Maher and John Ratzenberg in the film.

::)  Are U my secret TWIN????  LOL...Read my early posts...I was the female Spicoli...LOL...Checkered Vans...


Ah yes, how I remember Checkerboard Vans!  EVERYONE in my junior high school had a pair of these after "Fast Times" came out in the theater.  I can't count the number of unfortunate teachers who had to turn away pizza delivery men from their classrooms (the educational system must have HATED "Fast Times"!).  Who would have guessed at the time that Sean Penn would go on to marry Madonna, and become a Serious Movie Actor?

Saturday the 14th. :D Anyone remember that movie?


Yes, I remember this movie.  It was with Richard Benjamin, Paula Prentece, and Jeffrey Tambor.  I haven't seen it in years though.  I rmember that Jeffrey Tambor was a vampire, and Kari Micheals (from Gimme a Break) was attacked in the bathtub by this swamp monster or something.  Man, that movie was bad it was good. 
Doess anyone remember these two movies: Hysterical and Pandamonium?  Those are two VERY cheesy, yet funny movies of the 80s.

I remember Saturday the 14th and Pandamonium. Don't remember Hysterical.


A movie I forgot to mention is DC Cab. I can't help it, I love that movie.

I LOVED ALOT OF THE 80S MOVIES, I LOVED BREAKFAST CLUB, PRETTY IN PINK, THE GOONIES <REMEMBER CHUNK?> BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE TWO I LIKED THE MOST ARE PROBABLY JUST ONE OF THE GUYS < i THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH SEEING IT WITH MY BEST FRIEND tERASA AT THE MOVIES> AND I LIKED THE MOVIE HAMBURGER THE MOVIE< I KNOW IT WAS A STUPID MOVIE, BUT WHEN THE 2 FAT TWINS FART AND SAY "AROMA" I LAUGH MY BUTT OFF!!! THE MOVIES BACK THEN WERE THE BEST... FREDDY WAS A CHEESE KING TOO... WHAT DID YALL ALL LIKE? :D :D :D


"Breakin"  Yep, definatly, Breakin.  You know?  The movie with Special K and O-Zone...? That movie was beyond corny.  The sad thing is  that when it comes on, even now, I am the first to watch it.

Breakin' 2 is MUCH worse. I can sit through the first one, but the second one is way too cheesy for me :)

Here's a few that haven't been mentioned; most likely due to their obscurity:

Last American Virgin- with the most depressing ending in a movie ever
Black Hole- sci-fi cheese at its best; we're talking MST3K material here!
Android- total cheese, filmed using the set from Black Hole! More MST3K fodder :)
North Shore- an Arizona surf champion (say WHAT?) goes to Hawaii and..well, just watch it :)
Malibu Bikini Shop- two brothers, one a yuppie, one a "party animal", inherit a bikini shop from their dead aunt. Wee!
Joysticks- oh boy...  :-\\
Whacked- from the producer of Joysticks. 'nuff said.
Doctor Detroit- great cheesy Dan Ackroyd flick (Fran Drescher is in this one too).
The Hollywood Knights- a goofball gang of 50s high schoool students reek havoc. Sort of an Animal House ripoff, but fun nevertheless. And Fran is in this one too!

My favs-

Midnight Madness
Tron
Porky's series
Android
Rad
Girls Just Want To Have Fun (yeah I'm a dude but I like this one) :)
The Last Dragon (WHO'S THE MASTA! SHO-NUFF!!)  :-X
and um...

Joysticks  :-\\

;)

Breakin' 2 is MUCH worse. I can sit through the first one, but the second one is way too cheesy for me :)


They made a SEQUEL to Breakin'?  I don't know which is more frightening, the fact that the movie was made, or that part 1 made enough money to justify a sequel!


Black Hole- sci-fi cheese at its best; we're talking MST3K material here!


I liked "The Black Hole" as kid (doesn't speak well about my tastes as a child, does it?)  I can remember being creeped out by Maximillian, the evil red robot with the Ginsu knife hands.  I agree with you that the movie is pure cheese.  What was Disney thinking when they made this movie?


Doctor Detroit- great cheesy Dan Ackroyd flick (Fran Drescher is in this one too).


Was this the one where Dan Ackroyd played a pimp?  I vaguely recall Ackroyd starring in a series of bad movies before he made a comeback in "My Girl".

WIERD SCIENCE!!!

Bought it on DVD yesterday. Absolute cheesy class.  ;D

As far as I remember " Breakin' " was the first movie about electric boogie/breakdance, which I'm sure goes a long to explain why they decided to make the sequal

I haven't seen "The Black Hole" for years, but I've always been into Sci-Fi and I really liked the movie, I didn't really like it when it was released, but a couple of years later I found the novel on which the movie was based, and that helped a lot.

The cheesiest Sci-Fi movie of the 80s must be "Battle Beyond the Stars" from 1980, starring Richard Thomas, Robert Vaughn, John Saxon and George Peppard, not the most brilliant Sci-Fi movie ever but it is fun.

The Gate was pretty cheesy too.
