I seen Waterworld, The Omega Man and A Boy And His Dog. I thought Year One was funny. I was glad to see one of my Peirs Anthony books make it to the screen. That being Total Recall. I am a big Piers Anthony fan. He is one of my favorite authors. http://www.hipiers.com/bibliography.html

I liked the one about Earth Girls Are Easy. The 1963 movie Cleopatra is a classic flop, but it went on to make lots of money in television reruns. Movie flops are known to have huge budgets, high expectations and the gleeful "glad it wasn't me" reaction. was that elizabeth taylor? ya it was horrible but I lOVED it on Saturday afternoons - like those corny Jason & the Argonauts movies hail to the Sat. afternoon classics!!

A Fish Called Wanda (by now I am sure it's clear that not only do I have GREAT taste in movies, but I like Geena Davis)

Spaceballs the stupidest movie I have EVER seen next to Anchorman < another ridiculous classic Speaking of great stupid comedies, I really like Transylvania 6-5000...and Geena Davis was sexy as the seducing vampire.

Phillip K. Dick's books were awesome to. Yep, and I've enjoyed some of the movie adaptations of his work- Bladerunner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly.

I think Spaceballs really has become a cult flick and I think that was the intention when it was made as well as most of Will Ferrel's stuff how'bout weird Al Yankovich & UHF Ima go Spatuala City with MY Christmas List!

UHF, definitely. I'd say all of Brook's films are cult flicks.

Rubin And Ed '91 Surreal buddy comedy that teams up Rubin(Crispen Glover) who carries his dead cat around in a cooler, and unsuccessful salesman Ed(Howard Hesseman. They set out on a road trip across the desert so Rubin can find the perfect spot to bury his cat. Lobsterman From Mars '89 A shady producer(Tony Curtis) is shown a bad scifi movie that he hopes he'll be able to use it as a tax write-off. The film(within the film) he watches- Lobsterman From Mars is a spoof of 50's monster movies. Deborah Foreman(Valley Girl), and Anthony Hickox(director of Waxworks 1 and 2, Sundown) play the couple in the film. The Wizard Of Speed And Time '89 Written, directed, and starring effects animator Mike Jittlov. A fictionalized account of Mike's experience of dealing with Disney in the 70's.
