I'M SAILING!

Are we talking the execrable American remake of "Shall We Dance?" or the charming Japanese original?

Posted by: jeem at February 17, 2010 2:09 PM

Off that second list, I'd switch around Baby Jane and What About Bob. But that's really mostly for Bette Davis.

Liar!

Dude, Where's My Car? should be on the Best List. YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT.

Posted by: MM at February 17, 2010 2:12 PM

jeem - I can only assume he meant the completely unnecessary American remake, because as you pointed out, the original was lovely.

Posted by: tamatha at February 17, 2010 2:13 PM

"Whatever happened to the Baby Jane?"

Perhaps she ended up smoking the marijuana and having the sex.

Posted by: laredo at February 17, 2010 2:14 PM

tamatha - true. I suppose I was redundant in pairing the descriptor "execrable" with "American remake".

Posted by: jeem at February 17, 2010 2:20 PM

MMMMMMM- are these hand-shucked??

Posted by: roodle at February 17, 2010 2:28 PM

AHOY!

I'll go ahead and stick my neck out: "Dude, Where's My Car" has some degree of merit. At least in that it completely owns it's own vapid absurdity.

I'd have it replaced with 1993's "Who's The Man?"

Posted by: Martin at February 17, 2010 2:34 PM

Hmm. Neither 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' nor 'Guess Who' have question marks. It would have been a nice contrast, and put Ashton Kutcher on the worst list twice.

So just because a brother straight outta Compton makes a conscious decision to stop grabbing his strap for a living and now must make the mad cheddar by starring in family friendly and wholesome movies, you gotta dis him? Hater.

You motherfuckers omitted "Who's Harry Crumb?" from your "Best" list?? God....damn-it!

Sorry...I must've watched that movie a million times growing up.

TRAVESTY!

Posted by: Fredo at February 17, 2010 2:40 PM

What the bleep do we know!?

That movie is as awful as its title. If you can even consider it a movie.

Posted by: sunsneezer at February 17, 2010 2:57 PM

I love Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Excellent film. And What About Bob? is totally quotable.

"I'll be quiet."
"I'll be peace."

Posted by: Jeni at February 17, 2010 3:17 PM

What About Bob? rules. Bill Murray for the win.

Posted by: TWoP_Fan at February 17, 2010 3:24 PM


Where would "More Human Centipede? Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" fall on this list? An inevitable sequel, I think.

Posted by: Lance at February 17, 2010 3:25 PM

Since we're seeking clarification, are you referring to the American version of "Shall We Dance?" with Richard Gere, the Japanese version, or the completely unrelated musical from the 1930s with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers?

It's Ok, Martin. I own Dude Where's My Car. It's one of my not-so-secret shames.

I liked Casual Sex. Take that for what you will, but it had Andrew Dice Clay. Don't pretend you didn't like him, at least a little.

Posted by: Brie at February 17, 2010 4:25 PM

Alright, I'm shocked, downright SHOCKED that Crispin Glover's What Is It? is not on the worst list.

Posted by: Reina at February 17, 2010 5:09 PM

Bravo, Adventureman. Bravo.

Posted by: logar at February 17, 2010 5:14 PM

I think I preferred the old Adventureman.
That made waaaaayyy too much sense.

Posted by: frank_247 at February 17, 2010 5:26 PM

No question mark at the end of Gilbert Grape either.

Posted by: M at February 17, 2010 5:27 PM

I had no idea that Adventureman's story would lead me to Laughter, but it did.

Posted by: Kissing Girls Makes You Sleepy at February 17, 2010 5:35 PM

ANSWERS

Casual Sex? Ummm... I dunno; turn around. Yeah, alright. I've got 5 minutes.
Shall We Dance? No. I don't touch fatties.
Dude, Where’s My Car? It's behind the cloud of weed smoke. Dude.
Did You Hear About the Morgans? Yeah. Who knew?
Are We There Yet? / Are We Done Yet? We're there when I SAY we're there! We're done when I SAY we're done!

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? She grew up, Joe *sigh*. She grew up.
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? HOLY FUCKING SHIT, RUN DUDE!
What About Bob? What ABOUT Bob?
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Her lady-doctor. You haven't seen terror until you've seen Viginia's woolf, if you catch my meaning (psst...my meaning is her vag)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? I think I'm on the corner of...shit...dude, I don't know. I'll just catch a cab.

Can we replace "Dude Where's My Car?" with "Where Did Dustin's Sense of Humor Go?"

Posted by: dude at February 17, 2010 6:19 PM

I'm with MM too!
Dude, Where's My Car?: my main "secret" shame!

We have to get The Continuum Transfunctioner!*

Posted by: N. Wood at February 17, 2010 7:33 PM

In spite of myself I thought Dude Where's My Car? was pretty funny.

Posted by: Eep at February 17, 2010 7:34 PM

What a fantastic idea for a list.
But I saw O Brother, Where Art Thou? for the first time yesterday.
Fucking brilliant. Just saying.

Posted by: A-ron at February 17, 2010 7:55 PM

I join the chorus of those sticking up for Dude, Where's My Car?

Sure it makes no sense, and is one of the dumbest movies ever, but I think it's a pretty damn funny dumb comedy. And it's one of those ones that came out when I was like 12, and is right up the alley of 12-year old boys.

....that sounded creepy.

Posted by: Woody at February 17, 2010 8:00 PM

I guess Who's That Girl doesn't qualify without a question mark...

Posted by: dAvid at February 17, 2010 8:07 PM

True confessions: I saw Dude, Where's My Car? in the $2.00 theater when I was blissfully, thoroughly buzzed (but not puking drunk) and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. I don't know when I've ever laughed so hard.

Posted by: MM at February 17, 2010 8:16 PM

Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?

Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor at February 17, 2010 9:19 PM

O Brother Where Art Thou? tops my worst lists of everything. EVERYTHING. God, I hate that movie. Everyone I know loves that movie and I fail to see the hype (and please note that I love me some Coen brothers). And God help me if I had to hear that fucking song one more time I probably would have jumped out the highest window I could find. I really do hate that movie.

I can now identify an Adventureman post long before I see his name. That's style.

Posted by: lainiefig at February 18, 2010 7:51 AM

MM: I had the same reaction to Iron Eagle II when I saw it in a theatre while completely smashed (the obvious Tom Cruise clone was nicknamed "Thumper" which made be giggle uncontrollably every time his name was mentioned). If I get drunk enough I can find the humor in pretty much anything, even The English Patient.

Posted by: Irving Washington at February 18, 2010 8:43 AM

What about Bob?! One of the best movies ever!

*sing-songy voice* Doooctor Marvin, you geeenius. Your death therapy cured me, you geeeenius.

Posted by: Katers at February 18, 2010 9:16 AM

And then, and then, and then!

No and then!

And then.


BTW - I love What About Bob?!

Posted by: Mellany at February 19, 2010 4:12 PM

The Funny thing is (as stated), "Who framed roger rabbit" isn't a question. The title is really just the explanation of the story of the film, i.e. it's a story about "who framed roger rabbit." Although the movie plays as if it and you (the audience) are trying to figure out who framed roger rabbit.
