### Crazy awesome movies

- Quote

Post by Talisman » Sat Dec 20, 2008 6:53 am

Thought I'd start a thread to share some of the underappreciated movies I know of that spin the dial around from crazy to awesome.

Six-String Samurai. The Russians dropped the Bomb in 1957, obliterating American civilization. Elvis was crowned King of Lost Vegas, but he has recently died. Now, rock-&-roll warriors across the land are headed for Vegas to claim his throne, but Death and his band are hunting them down. Includes such marvels as highway Neanderthals, the Cleaver Family, those damn Windmill People, Netheads, and the Russian army. This movie is damn awesome and has a kickass soundtrack.

Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. A plague of daywalking vampires has been preying on lesbians. Don't you hate it when that happens? A couple of priests go call on Jesus, who - it turns out - is hanging around a nearby lake blessing people. Jesus embarks on a musical crusade against the forces of Darkness, plus an alarming number of atheists, and encounters such luminaries as Santos, the masked wrestler, and Blind Jimmy Leper. The final song is "Everybody Gets Laid Tonight." How can you not love that?

The Golden Bat. I have only ever seen this film in Japansese, so I don't have a damn clue what they're saying. It doesn't matter, though. The hero is a skull-faced Egyptian vampire (and friend to children) who beats people with a stick while laughing maniacally. His archnemesis wears a horribly bad aardvark costume (a four-eyed aardvark costume) and has a huge mechanical claw for a hand.

Share and discuss!

Delicatessen
City of Lost Children
Mutant Action
Dark City
The Thing (John Carpenter's)
MST3K (the Mike Episodes, I recommend "Space Mutiny")
A Chinese Ghost Story (1,2 and 3, but not "The Animated Movie", and don't mistake them for "Erotic Ghost Story")
Mr Vampire (The first one, I didn't get to see the others)
Evil Dead (2 and 3)
Tremors (Various)
Ice Pirates
Other stuff... I have a headache.

Seriously, pre-Darth Annie has a challenge to his 'most annoying little boy in film' title.

Ice Pirates rocks!!!!
I want to shout out to Time Bandits, definitely my favorite Gilliam
And though it might seem weak, Stranger than Fiction, is about as good as "movie you score points for with a chick" get.

If A Chinese Ghost Story and City Of Lost Children don't score me chick points I don't know if I want them.
Or alternately I pull a trump like "Amélie", it's not like Delicatessen etc... didn't lay the ground work.

The classics from my childhood, practically required viewing...
The Goonies
Clash of the Titans
The Hobbit (animated)
Robin Hood: Men In Tights
Crossroads (the one with Ralph Macchio)
Silverado
Support Your Local Sheriff
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
--The horror of Mario
Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter was indeed funny.
Other funny movies, in how bad they were include:
Santa Slays: some ex 'wrestler' plays this killer santa that needs to be stopped by some kids, and rednecks with guns who shoot santa out of the sky.
Jack Frost: some serial killer dies, in snow. Killer Snowman is the result.
.... these sounds like D&D monsters now.
The Gaming Den; where Mathematics are rigorously applied to Mythology.
While everyone's Philosophy is not in accord, that doesn't mean we're not on board.
