Have you seen a movie that has to be seen to be believed?  Watched something odd, cool or just plain whacked?  I have a very extensive movie collection and like to watch things that are "good", just not good by everyone else standards.  I'm not talking about bad movies, movies that are boring or lame, but instead enjoyable movies...maybe just enjoyable for all the wrong reasons.

Do you think you can top "Robo Vampire" or "Jesus Chrsit Vampire Hunter"?  Have you seen something crazier than "Escape from Galaxy3"?  We want to know!

OMG - I saw Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter and wanted my two hours back. I further converted to Atheism. I then picketted outside the local blockbuster demanding good vampire movies be made. While they didn't stock a copy of JCVH, they did have a copy of "Dracula 2000" which has the god-awful twist that Judas Ascariot was the father of all vampires.

Is the guilty pleasure only a geeky bent? Cos I have a pretty whacked collection myself. Heard of "Pink Flamingoes"? Don't see if you don't like depravity. It's John Waters film. Not one of my guilty pleasures, but certainly worth the shock value bringing it up in day-to-day conversation.

You can blame Brad for JCVH, that's been the only movie not from my collection so far.  I guess "Guilty Pleasures" are different for everybody. I tend to like things that are "geeky" sci fi, monster movies, etc. Probably the least geeky thing you'll find me review would be things in the genre started by "Zero Woman", sexy Asian chicks with guns killing people.

I suppose it wouldn't be out of line to review movies like "Pink Flamingos" or "Blue Velvet", but I have such a collection of geeky movies that I've been planning to watch, I doubt I'll get around to them. I think that our listeners are probably into more of the "genre" movies, so I'll probably stick with the geeky stuff.

I generally take a bag of movies that I've been wanting to watch over to my friend Eric's house and we pick out one or two to watch. Or maybe a movie and an anime. Some of the stranger movies stay in the bottom of the bag a few months before we get around to them. It's funny how often we are pleasantly surprised by the movies we put off watching for months.

Thanks for writing,

You've probably heard of this one but- I just recently saw "Death Race" 2000, the Roger Corman/Paul Bartel film from 1975 which is soon to be remade by Paul W.S. Anderson.

Just briefly- it features a Transcontinental road race that's all about killing pedestrians, David Carradine dressed like a bondage Batman, a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone as the heavy, plenty of cheap & cheesy "gory" effects (watermelons used for exploding heads), The Real Don Steele- the world's most annoying announcer, Nazis played for yucks, a "hand" grenade, plus plenty of gratuitous nudity.  And all set in the far future of the year 2000.  What's not to like?

-"Well America, there you have it, Frankenstein has just been attacked by the French Air Force and he's whipped their derrieres!"

-"Well, what does she expect? You leave your navigator lying around, naturally somebody is going to run over him."

-"You know, Mr. Viterbo, as a representative of Mr. President's government, I happen to hold the power of life and death.  

Yeah? Well I happen to hold the clam sauce."

Glenn -  I've seen the trailer of the movie that is destined to become a guilty pleasure...   http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pict ... s/trailer/

I'm not sure if you were aware of this upcoming film, but it has cheese written all over it.  Robert Englund + Jenna Jameson = Zombie Strippers.
