There was this one year (1982-1989) where I sat in front of the TV watching HBO constantly. I have such fond memories of those times. Me and my 20 extra pounds lounging on our tweedy couch (years 1982-86) and black leather sofa (years 1986-1989) watching two-hour segment after two-hour segment of sucky suckiness. Here, as part of my 20-year anniversary of when it all started, is my list of those movies:
--The Pirate Movie (the faux fish song sequence is the BEST) with Kristy McNichol
--Teen Witch (I LOVED this freaking movie. The rap sequence is A1 prime.)
--Just One of the Guys. Just check out this dialogue.
--Grease II. I probably still know all the words to all the songs by heart. (He's a co-o-o-l rider, anybody? Probably not.)
--Secret Admirer. One of the best of the worst.
--DC Cab. Bwah!
These were all two or three notches below the "Say Anything"s and "16 Candles"s' of the time period. They were idiotic and so very stupid. But I loved them more than I could ever hope to love the "Freddy Got Fingered"s and "Corky Romano"s of today.
Happy anniversary my friends.
