Just broke down and bought BARBARELLA on DVD.
I blame this thread.
Oh you'll love it....... It's fun
Oh, I've seen it many times. I just didn't own a copy--and didn't want to have to wait for it to show up on cable again.
True story: my college sf club actually showed it as a fundraiser back in the eighties. I attended both showings . . . .
Great choices so far.
I always enjoy Conan the Barbarian when it's on and even its inferior Saturday morning sequel is fun in its way. Really any old school Schwarzenegger flick is fun like Predator and Terminators but also the gonzo flicks like Commando, Total Recall, and The Running Man.
I've often watched Waterworld whenever its come on.

Came on at 2 in the morning not long ago. I didn't go to bed until 4 or so. I've watched it and Jackie Brown countless times.
I watched that not too long ago and still found it pretty entertaining. One thing that was new was seeing it in HD widescreen for the first time which really showed off the great texture of the movie.
Yeah it's a good movie but for me personally I have seen it that many times that I don't get that many laughs out of it any more, but that shopping mall bit always cracks me up and I can't really explain why that particular scene does it to me. It just does.
Yeah, the Conan movies are fun. I have fond memories of the first time I watched Conan the Barbarian. It was on late at night, and my dad, the two dogs, and my cat were all there.
Between the dogs and the cat, I didn't end up getting to eat much of my TV dinner (they were terrible mooches, and I was a total pushover).
Circle Of Iron.
It's really cheesy but whenever it is on TV I will drop almost anything to watch it or record it.
There's another movie from the 80s about a scientist that gets transported to a parallel world like a Conan kind of world and he is captured and has to rescue some women who came along with him. Really cheesy 80s stuff. I wish I could remember the title.
Shlock!
This is just plain insane fun. It usually used to come on late nights on TV. I have been trying to find this one for years but can't even get it on DVD let alone a bluray.

Are you thinking of Gor?
No the only Gor I know of was a series of pulpy novels by John Normam. ( I think that was the author's name)
There was a movie called Yor the Barbarian which was kind of like what I described but no not Gor
There were a couple of Gor movies made that were very loosely based on the first 5 or so novels (that is, I noticed elements from all of them crammed in there, such as characters, situations, even background goings-on). The novel version of Tarl Cabot was a history professor, not a physics professor, and he was much more intelligent and capable than the bumbling fool in the movies.
The movies were pretty bad all around. Jack Palance and Oliver Reed must really have needed money to appear in these things.

Yea it took me years to find a dvd copy of it. I love that movie.
Definitely. It's underrated, that's for sure.
These are movies that I can watch repeatedly, without becoming bored with them. To a certain degree, they have become comfort food.

FYI: Comet TV has been airing the sequel, THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT. It's not as good as the first movie, but hold ups better than I remember.
What's Amazon Women On The Moon about?
Catchy title but hmmm.
I still say that tacked on ending to Rat Race kills the whole movie. Should have ended without the stupid cameo by Smash Mouth.
I love that film to bits but always end it just before that.

Anything by the ZAZ comedy team - Airplane, Top Secret etc.
I also like Used Cars, and the Evil Dead movies, and Young Frankenstein and The Producers
Oops almost forgot Cannonball Run and It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Cannonball Run movies are fun...
Death Race 2000, the original version

Coco Pops, I would agree that the ending of Rat Race is hokey. I would have preferred an alternative ending myself.
Amazon Women on the Moon is an anthology of comedy sketches. The moon part is a satire of 1950s science fiction movies.
I'm not quite sure why, but certain movies remain fun even though you have already seen them. You already know the jokes. Perhaps because they still evoke a mood?
