The corniest film you inexplicably love

He would likely have played the first man to go, given that Joanie Cunningham and Ray Walston were bigger box office draws at that time. Or he could have take Robert Englund's unlikely-survivor part. But should his character fear maggoty worms............nah, not going any further there. Oh, man!
Hahaha!! I forgot about the swan!
I’ve always wondered how they impaled Timothy Dalton on that model (or rather made it look like he was impaled)
Another of my favourites are R.E.D. and R.E.D. 2

Wait for it…

"Charro" is a half-decent faux Spaghetti Western and Elvis is actually pretty good as a "man with no name" style outlaw.
Too bad he never got to do more "straight" (non-musical) dramas.
Wasn’t Charro that South American chick that used to shake her hips? 
Kind of ironic that Elvis the Pelvis's one serious western had that name.Wasn’t Charro that South American chick that used to shake her hips?
Yet another Bruce Willis movie(s) i love are :
The Whole Nine Yards, and The Whole Ten Yards, and The Last Boy Scout
The Whole Nine Yards, and The Whole Ten Yards, and The Last Boy Scout
Including firing his gun up in the air and going AAARRGH!!
I don’t think TLBA is corny. It’s one of the most quotable scripts of the last 40 years and Willis is superb in it, almost a modern day Bogart, while Wayans has never been better.
I remember thinking for a long time that Bruce was a modern Bogie.
The Last Boyscout is fab. "Nobody likes you, everybody hates you, you're gonna lose."
Battleship (2012)
Yet another Bruce Willis movie I like is The Kid. Not really a corny movie, just really sappy.
That's a TV series. Do you mean the Naked Gun movies?
I agree, they are corny. But I don't love them.
They took the character of Frank Drebin and shat all over him. They made him a bumbling idiot, and that's not what he's supposed to be! He's supposed to be a good, decent cop who is the ultimate straight man. Oblivious to the hilarity going on around him, not a part of it!

Xanadu. Loved this in the 80s. Yes mostly because I was a little bit (ok a lot) in love with Olivia. Yes it's a bit rubbish but has a great soundtrack.
Must do a rewatch.
