Whacky films you've not seen?

[Plane Sailing]

So, I've seen Sharktopus on TV, and I've not yet seen Megashark vs giant octopus, but what about older films?

I've just seen the trailer for Starcrash (1978) Starcrash - Rotten Tomatoes and my goodness, what an, uh, amazing looking film!

Has anyone seen that (or got their own so-bad-they-want-to-see-it movies)?

Cheers

Never mind - didn't notice the thread said films we've NOT seen...

My movie viewing can be quite selective so I would have to say I haven't seen most of them.

The last good bad film I saw was probably Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I saw Lake Placid and I thought it was horrible; didn't see any of the sequels.

Killer Clowns from Outer Space has been on Netflix instant watch forever, and I keep meaning to check it out, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

In my Netflix queue are films I'm not sure I'll ever watch, such as "Rubber" (a psychic tire that kills people), "Hobo with a Shotgun" and "Trolls." People keep telling me that they fall into so-bad-they're-good category, but I can't convince myself of that.

I have indeed seen "Starcrash", less than a month ago, as a matter of fact. The lead character (or at least, the one that seems to be the lead character for the first half of the movie) is clearly meant to be pretty much a female version of Han Solo. At one point in the movie, she rescues a prince. So I guess that character would correspond to Leia. That character is portrayed by a fellow named David Hasselhoff.

That's pretty much my review; it's the kind of movie in which Princess Leia is played by Knight Rider.

Rubber" (a psychic tire that kills people), "Hobo with a Shotgun"

Those may be the only ones in this thread (so far) that I haven't seen.

FWIW, my vote for "worst film ever" goes to The Creeping Terror.

"Hobo with a Shotgun"

Hobo with a Shotgun is like a lesser version of Machete. Or, perhaps more accurately, it's the "grindhouse" version of Machete, which, in my opinion, was too polished to be considered a true "grindhouse" movie. Right from the start you can tell it's going to be trashy; it has a very grainy/gritty and harshly lit quality about it (and, my god, does Rutger Hauer look rough) and the dialogue/acting has the expected over-the-top absurdity and hammy delivery one would expect. If you're the type to enjoy that or, at the very least, can get into the spirit of what they were aiming for, the movie is actually better than expected with some really great moments pepper throughout. It's not as good/fun as Machete, but it's in the same neighborhood.
