  1. 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").

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

    Now THOSE were useless.
