  1. The Wizard cast a spell on me by Duxup · · Score: 3

    I still remember the night I saw The Wizard. Being a little Nintendo freak (Sega sucks!) how could I miss it? That was the day I realized that there were adults out there who would do anything to get a few $ from anyone. Just slap a popular brand name on anything no matter how much it stinks, as long as it gets the $ from the kiddies. I still have my free little Nintendo Power mag that they gave out for free to get kids to subscribe.

    Hemos didn't even think of a department for this

    Are you sure? It looks like he gave it the most prestigious department...

    "from the dept."

    Which department? The department.

  3. No! Two of my favorite movies are #2 and #1!!! by JabberWokky · · Score: 4

    Okay, I really love Heartbeeps. It's a great movie in my eyes... sort of a deconstructed Blade Runner crossed with Max Max and produced by Troma with a crew of SubGenius. Not only that, but Bernadette Peters (who is scorchingly hot normally) plays a Soriyama style Gynoid.

    Okay... so I can understand people who don't "get it". That's fine - I own the video and my significant other loves it as well. But don't you dare say that "Reckless Kelly" isn't great.

    Oh, sure, I'll buy "little influence", but it's a classic like "Kentucky Fried Movie", "Strange Brew" or "Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail". Haul it out every once in awhile with a group of people - it's pretty much guarenteed to appeal to most everyone. Over the top humor, (Nuns in lingere, gun phones, "Big Mac-Beth", a character quoting Shakespeare while chowing on a burger and playing a bagpipe) that hits at many levels (okay, mostly low humor) makes Reckless Kelly a wide appeal film.

    At the *very* least, you get to see Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix) in his full, Austrailian accented glory, partner up with fellow bad guy Alexei Sayle (the Balowski family from the BBC's "Young Ones").

  4. Cool As Ice!!!! by Bill+Daras · · Score: 3

    I simply refuse to accept the fact they ignored "Cool As Ice", Vanila Ice's motion picture debut! What a classic.

  5. Deja Vu by jblackman · · Score: 4

    Pfft. This is a clear rip-off of The Onion's Least Essential Albums of the 90's.

    Now THOSE were useless.
