If they blow shit up, that immediately and automatically makes it a much better movie than Twilight.

Suspend your disbelief and enjoy the ridiculous, you might enjoy it.
Disbelief went out the window about 45 mins into Battle L.A.

I was actually offended by Battle L.A. & Skyline.

No one has mentioned Battlefield Earth? plot holes, corny dialogue, ham acting ... rubbish movie, but bloody hilarious. Sounds the same as Battle: LA.

I watched about 3 minutes of that on TV a few weeks ago. Really really on a different level kind of bad there.

I kinda liked the way the alien ships sucked the people up in Skyline.

The ending just left me slack-jawed, though, it was so bad.

Try reading the book!
It's on a very short list of books I could not finish.

Can't stand L. Ron Hubbard's adolescent fantasy.

Want to just put my hand up here and say I really liked Interview with a Vampire. Was the first film in a while that I liked Tom Cruise.

Couldn't finish Faceoff. Total tripe. And the last Indiana Jones film was appalling!



[eta] For all its glorious effefcts, and let's face it some of them were delightful, I think possibly the worst fiilm I ever saw was Independence Day.

With Contact as a close second.

[eata] that's probably unfair on Contact. I have seen far worse films. But generally when i see a really bad film it is enjoyable as that. Contact seemed like it was going to be great and then just dissolved into wishy-washy, airy-fairy nonsense.

Of this I have no doubt. I don't even need to see the explosions or the horny vampires to think this has to be true!

I may never look at you the same way again Dani. That is blasphemy. Independence Day was one of the best cheesy scifi flicks of the last 10-15 years. It was so over the top with its all-american good guyism that you just have to love it. Unless you're an America hating commie.

Mars Attacks! was also brilliant.

Whaaaaaat?! Girlfriend, please. The entire second half of Contact was unwatchably hideous. And Independence Day was awesome! It had Brent Spiner in it!

Say it ain't so.

I love that flick. Jeff Goldblum's stammering everyman. Will Smith's wise-cracking hero, and New York blowing up. What's not to like?

Maybe because I was anticipating some serious sci-fi. I think the point at which i really lost faith with it was when Will Smith punched an alien.

I should probably watch it again as a gloriously bad movie. I didn;t get any of that joy from it at the time though.

The Highway Man with Hugh Grant a long time before he was famous. So bad that it's not even worth watching the first 5 minutes to see the mullet wig that the wardrobe department dressed him up in.
