    There's nothing guilty about watching Spaceballs

      Not a complete list, just a selection:

      The Tick (the live action, very short-lived TV series)
      Battlefield: Earth (it's supposed to be a sci-fi comedy, right? )
      Zardoz (self explanatory)
      Lord of the Rings (the strange, but interesting Ralph Bakshi version)
      The Hobbit (surprisingly good, especially considering how awful The Return of the King ended up)
      The Return of the King (the really, really bad Rankin/Bass version)
      Last Action Hero
      Highlander 2: The Renegade Version (A retconed retcon!)
      The Sword and the Sorcerer (It's a "classic" hack & slash movie...)
      Cobra, Tango & Cash (both contain nearly toxic levels of '80s action movie clichés)
      Escape from LA (This really was the same people who did Escape from NY?!?)

        Partial list:

        Zardoz
        Pee Wee's Big Adventure
        Showgirls
        Flash Gordon (1981 Sam Jones version)

        All I can think of at the moment.

          Heh, we were having exactly this conversation in the pub the other week And then continued over email since...

          -Wierd Science
          -Anything with van Damme in
          -Breakfast club

          to name but a few.

          And always a pleasure, but NEVER guilty:

                Hell, yeah, Weird Science! Also the first Batman movie (the one with Adam West, NOT Michael Keaton), Caveman, and Cheech and Chong's Next Movie.

                            The first movie i saw at the cinema was The Black Hole by Disney.
                            The robot Maximillian scared the sh*t out of me.

                            Goonies was third after Ghostbusters i think...

                              I remember black hole! Wow, I've only seen it once, a long time ago, but I remember quite a bit of it. That movie creeped me out!
