Movies so bad that they are funny

Nov 04, 2007 08:35

Last night, I was at a friend's, and we watched "The Hunger" (best pronounced with a slight French accent), a Vampire movie from 1983, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon.

Catherine Deneuve, a very hot Catherine Deneuve in her 40ties, is an old, very old Vampire, probably with Egyptian roots. David Bowie (as himself ;)) is her ( Read more... )

movies, bauhaus

Regarding the lesbian sex scenes in The Hunger, there is a great anecdote about them told by Susan Sarandon in the documentary The Celluloid Closet: they wanted her character to be drugged originally for the first of these scenes, to which the spirited Ms. Sarandon said: "Why? This is Catherine Deneuve. Why on earth would anyone have to be drugged in order to want to have sex with her?"

Interesting. I don't remember that from the Celluloid Closet, but I fully agree with her. (;)) I thought the set up of their story was not too bad, especially the scene in the bookshop, and I liked that the vampire was bisexual. But the sex scene and the last part of the movie had lots of WTF moments.

LOL. You use exactly the same argument that was used to counter my impressions. ^_- I take story over form in every movie; that's why I'm not too keen on horror movies anyway. And I said, it was funny, hot and had beautiful pictures. ;)

Oh, I could add the music (Schubert, Bach and Delibes) as plus, aside from Bauhaus.

My dad was the king of bringing home "B Movie" rentals that were so bad, you were practically guaranteed to either start weeping from the sheer horror of watching the flick, or trying to gouge out your eyeballs with the remote control to escape from the pain.

Dad found movies where the spaceships were moved around by string (we know this because you could SEE the string) where the actors had the range of a pencil, and the plot had holes that you could float a battleship through.

Of course this terrible gift for finding the absolute worst movie and bringing it home to torment your loved ones is genetic. My youngest sister is afflicted with is, and regularly brings home class A stinkers for her finance to endurewatch.

*wave* Hi!

Well, the movie was not this bad, maybe.

The movies your dad found sound like Ed Wood movies, I have not watched them, but I watched the movies Ed Wood.
