Speaking of Joan, Lakewooder, have you ever seen Strait-Jacket? Talk about extra-campy goodness!

And isn't the poster great?

Yes, I love Strait-Jacket -- I gave it to my niece -- love where Joan lights her cig by striking a match on the turning record on the record player!

Queen Bee is similarly campy! And there are more!

Rollerball is actually a good movie. I don't think it belongs on this list.

I love the earlier Japanese monster movies. While the original Godzilla qualifies as a good movie, the rest were just awful but a lot of fun. Who can forget baby Godzilla talking? Jet Jaguar? The Mothra twins? Gamera fighting the giant knife-dog Guiron after doing a gymnastics routine?

In truth, the best old bad movies are best watched on MST3k. Mike, Joel, the bots, Dr. Forrester, and TV's Frank. Brilliant show for showcasing the best of the worst:

Manos: The Hands of Fate
Cave Dwellers
The Home Economics Story
Sold!
Overdrawn At the Memory Bank

and of course,
This Island Earth

I've always liked the original tales from the cript from the low 1970's.Also, Hollywood knights is kind've raw, silly & funny from 1980'??? And if you can find it, I think its called DriveInn?? Maybe from 79-80'??? It was so stupid yet had its funny moments.Oh, & toss in any old godzilla movie which I adore!

Streets of Fire. Great soundtrack. Cheesy flick.

About 1/3 the films MSTK viewed. Giant Spiders! Awwwriight! Janet Scott in fear mode. Neato. Various alter egos of Robbie the Robot. Too funny, Will Robinson.

I collect the old Charlie Chan movies. I love them. I remember watching them on TV with my dad when I was little.

The 50s horror movies were a trip, too.

Attack of the Giant Leaches
Wasp Woman

A newer one but still an oldie is "Killer Klowns From Outer Space." And who can forget "Plan 9 from Outer Space." Bela Lugosi dies suddenly in real life half way through the movie and some other actor took over his part and walked around for half the movie with his Dracula cape held over the bottom part of his face. What a hoot!

My favorite old time horror movie is "Nosferatu." It's a silent film and scares the life out of me even today.

Heh. Those will never not be funny. Especially when watched in a certain frame of mind.
