I thought the Police Academy movies were brilliant, my son got me the box set a while ago, just tried watching the first one........ awful just awful, I'm struggling to find the funnies in the movie.
Over to you guys. |

i watched all of them not long back, and i think it was number 4 or 5 which was shit but the rest are alright. few dodgy unPC jokes in them but mostly childish jokes (which i love, like the megaphone on that guys mouth what left a circle).
dunno, did have a few films in mind but can't remember what now. |

Phew! Well... you come into a thread about movies that are crap in hindsight and you see the Neverending Story... The punches just start flying without a second thought |

"Jason & the Argonauts - the props look dreadful.
Indeed, but did pave the way in terms of special effects."
Definitely, saw Mrs Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children at the cinema and halfway through went "Is that? It can't be! It is! That's proper Stop-Motion Animation!". I got stupidly excited. |

Now that's a good film. |

I would say Star Wars. But I always thought they sucked.
I watched the Blackhole recently and it was a bit, shite. Not like I remember.
The same with Shogun assassin, phantom of the mall, phantom of the paradise, aaaaaall of nightmare on Elme street, Friday the 13th, frightnight, maniac cop, headhunter, in deep red, list goes on really.
Kickboxer hasn't aged an 2 Sasha Mitchell, I'd sploosh if I was female. |

I really liked them as a child, but then they went through a phase of being on EVERY christmas, and I got a bit bored of them.
I reckon they are probably quite good as long as you are under 12.
Never saw the new ones, I think the horse is well and truly drad and to keep flogging it is just adding insult to injury. |

Oh god yes I don't think I'll be watching those back, my childhood memories of them are great though 
For me...Ferris Beuler's Day off is shite as an adult

They are doing a remake of howard the duck as part of the marvel universe films. He will make a cameo appearance in the new guardians of the galaxy film |

Watched shogun assassin again a few years back and still liked it. One of my favorite albums borrows really heavily from the film so it occupies a weird special place for me does that film  |

If you see the non digitally remastered ones the special effects are just so cheesy and look like somebody has made them during a Blue peter shoot back in the 70s with fairy liquid bottles and sticky back plastic. The good old days of cinema eh. |

I still have a soft spot for all my childhood favourites; I guess I'm just a child at heart sometimes. As a good example, I was watching Bugsy Malone last night.  |

it wasn't so much the effects i don't think...more just the content of it, though i dare say if i watched it back now i'd notice the effects. luckily i never have to |

How can anyone dislike the original star wars?
The prequals yes.....i detest those but come on.....yes the force awakens was scene for scene similar to a new hope but rouge one was amazingly done and considering it start of being planned as a fan made film...
Anyway my contribution to the list.. Convoy

He actually appears after the credits of the first movie, I've watched that movie so many times but it was only with it being on BBC 1 on Monday that I watched the end credits and just as they finished, it showed Howard to Duck in a phone booth.
