I was talking about this yesterday. About how I had the worlds worst taste in movies. Apart from the top 2, which have endured (Footrot Flats and Grease... whoo!)

My favourite totally gimpy movies were:

1. Rhinestone (Dolly Parton tries to teach Sylverster Stallone to sing country... hilarity ensues)
2. Ruthless People (Bette Midler plays crazy...)
3. Big Business. (Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler playing twins who were mixed up, one pair was city, one country. Terrible movie. I loved it.)
4. Earlier Police Academy movies. (I had a crush on Steve Guttenberg.)
5. Hello Again. ( Shelley Long dies. Then comes alive again. Etc.)

Edward Scissorhands was scary when I was a kid.

Submitted by Joanna on Wed, 2004-03-10 21:45.

Oh come on, what's scary about a mob all wearing polyester who want to kill a guy who cuts up everything he touches and who lived with a dead body for a long time?
