Late night horror movies
"Them" had giant ants
"The Tingler" was a fun Vincent Price film with a giant rubber centipede
"The Blob" with Steve Mcqueen had a very catchy title song and a reverse drag race
"Plan 9 from Outer Space" is beyond schmaltzie
Other really bad films would include any film where women are jailed, Moonshine running films, and old hot rod films. The king of the hot rod film is "Hot Rods from Hell" (or was it "Palm Springs Weekend?) with Robert Conrad, Tuesday Weld and Tab Hunter.
The reigning champion of recent bad films is "Show Girls" It is so bad that it goes beyond bad to funny then beyond funny back to just plain bad.

Mike, your choice of the #1 movie is one other thing you and I agree on; some of other favorites (in no special order) are Appaloosa, Casablance, Fargo, Elmer Gantry, and Yankee Pasha;
p.s. if you really can't make it to Lima, I'll find your buddy for the libations. wj

Not in order, but as I thought of them
1. The Last Picture Show
2. The Godfather
3. Finding Graceland
4. North by Northwest
5. Roman Holiday
6. When Harry Met Sally (I'm not gay, really)
7. On Any Sunday
8. Secondhand Lions (probably tied for #1 w/Last Picture Show)
9. A Christmas Story
10. Uncle Buck
I also like a lot of the John Hughes movies from the 80's like She's Having a Baby, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club.
I also note that I haven't seen Midnight Cowboy on anyone's list. Come on, it won best picture for crying out loud! It is the worst movie I've ever seen along with Endless Love and Hannah and Her Sisters.

Speaking of Midnight Cowboy. Saw it in 1969 in Chicago, thought it was sad. Told The Princess about it when we met in 1974, she had been too young for an "X" rated in 1969, so we had to wait for the late night showing at the Ultra-vision for her to see it. Said she thought it was one of the BEST movies she had ever seen! Told me about all these underlyig meanings and "chick-flick" stuff. whoever thought Midnight Cowboy was a "CF"?
After that I made her watch "The Wild Bunch" with William Holden, no "CF" there.
Anybody want to start a new thread for just westerns?

Twelve O'Clock High!
Ahhh, two fine connoisseurs of the World of Film. Absolutely right - the mascot of the 918th Bomb Group from Twelve O'Clock High. Well done! General Savage and Major Stovall would be proud of yez!
As a reward for your expertise, you can click here and collect your reward. (P.S.- Bring your credit card!)
P.P.S. to M1ka: Just watched the DVD film again on Sunday night on a new LCD TV set (WOW!) and it was actually Face Out ('Mission Up') and Face In ('Stand Down') for the 918th. (Hate these nitpickers, eh?)

Brando in a Western, eh?
My list of Westerns (above) should've included 'Once Upon a Time In The West' with Bronson/Fonda/Robards/Jack Elam/Woody Strode and that magnificent chunk of Italian womanhood, Claudia Cardinale. The 2-DVD Special Collector's Edition is a whole evening's entertainment with excellent interviews with surviving cast and crew members. The producers even went back to Monument Valley, Arizona (John Wayne Country!) to reminisce at the exact same locations where some of the movie exteriors were shot in 1968. Wonderful stuff! I didn't know until I got this 2-DVD set that most of the film was actually shot in SPAIN and ITALY.
Ahhh, MOVIES! ` ` `
Oz, m'man. . .Brando in a Western, eh? Not bad, not bad. (Slim Pickens in that one as well.) How 'bout 'The Missouri Breaks' from '76 with Brando and Jack Nicholson in starring roles. Looked like Jaaaaaaack was doing his R.P. McMurphy thing from 'Cuckoos Nest' all over again except this time he was wearing a gun.Oznay said:I'm thinkin'One-Eyed Jacks,with Marlon Brando,and Karl Malden,should be included in your excellent picks,of pics
