I forgot the name of it but there was this REALLY BAD 80's movie that was soooo bad it was good

It starred Bill Murray's brother (not Brian) as a guy who has to go to drivers ed class.

Funny thing was the brother tried to act like Bill Murray so much THAT was funny in itself -- because he was so lousy

Moving Violations! I always liked that one, and have thought about trying to track it down, although I'm sure it's not as funny as I thought it was when I was 17.

Fast Times

Aww, man. You can't put Fast Times on this list. It has lots of dignity! And the laughs weren't stupid, they were genuine! Great flick!

"Private School for Girls" was one of my favourites. I had such a huge crush on Betsy Russell after seeing that movie. She looked gorgeous in that film (and nekkid!). Costar Phoebe Cates was no slouch either (but sadly not naked in the film).

Dude! The highlight of last year's Wizard World for me was having my photo taken with Betsy Russell and asking where she's been all these years.

She is still incredibly attractive.

I remember spotting her credit when she did an initial cameo in one of the Saw films after close to two decades looking for movies with her in it.

Also really like Tomboy, and Avenging Angel even though she doesn't show the goods in that one.

Oh man, I am so jealous! I never thought she'd be at conventions, but if she's in some of the Saw films, I guess it makes sense. I've only seen the first Saw, now I gotta see the ones she was in. Nice to hear she still looks good.

Tomboy is good too. And I admit I have both that and Private School on DVD.

I didn't see Tomboy, but I remember the VHS cover!

The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, looks insane!

I'm not crazy, right? The announcer in the trailer reads the name of the movie wrong?

Agreed!

This list is making me very happy - I can almost feel the little velcro tabs under the empty VHS boxes displayed at the rental shop!

Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak

Wow - I looked up director Just Jaeckin - he made "Emmanuelle" and "The Story Of O"!

He's like the George Lucas of softcore!

Gwendoline was pretty insane... Particularly since they tried to market it in North America as this Indiana Jones type thing.


Tawny kitean in full fetish gear... Much better than the awful Witchboard or the new WKRP


I believe this Dave Steven's homage... Which incidentally was originally a comic to begin with.

Speaking of Emmanuelle, my pick of the series is number 4 with Monique Gabrielle, completely nonsensical, but she is just incredibly stunning.
