Starring: Divine, Tab Hunter
Although Divine stars in this movie, it’s not a John Waters film. It’s too bad, because it ultimately falls short of the master. It’s not a complete bust, however.
Divine plays a hapless young maiden who sets out across the desert to a find her fortune in the town [...]
Starring: Agnetha, Benny, Anni-Frid, Bjorn
Until I rented this tape, I, like many other young Americans of my age, had never fully experienced the concept of ABBA. I own the ABBA Gold CD; I’ve sat and stalwartly refused to dance to “Dancing Queen” at many a nightclub, and yet I really had no idea [...]
Starring: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman
This movie was very, very bad. They did a bad, bad thing. I don’t even know where to begin. Usually, we here at MGotD make a point of not being overly bitchy about bad movies. We like bad movies, after all. But then again, rules were made to be [...]

How could I resist “spectacular sci-fi action and adventure on blazing skates?!” The Solarbabies are “the far-off future’s spunkiest group of roller-skating rowdies!”
It’s the year 41 (you know, the year 41 in the far-off future) and the Earth is a post-apocalyptic desert starved of water. The few [...]

Tony and Tia are baaa-ack! The film starts as Uncle Benet unleashes the alien duo on an unsuspecting San Francisco, to learn more about the human race. What better way to educate fourteen-year-old kids than to dump them in the middle of a major city, alone! Anyway, it [...]
Starring: Edith Massey
When I heard that this film existed, I could hardly believe it! It does exist and it far exceeds all of my wildest cheesy dreams. I have no idea where or if you can rent it on tape, so watch it if you can!
The year: 1975. The scene: a [...]

Glimpse into a bright orange future. Starring: James Caan

Starring: Carol Kane, Molly Ringwald, Jeanne Tripplehorn
I debated reviewing this move, because it’s not really “bad.” It is however, extremely cheesy, and should prove extremely entertaining for the sick mind! Plus, when I discovered that Carol Kane had an uncredited appearance in Disney’s The Gnome Mobile (as, “Married Gnome,”) I knew that this [...]
An all-star cast plunge to their deaths! Starring: Karen Black, Charlton Heston
Is it just me, or is Auto Pilot the most amazing invention ever devised by mankind? I only ask, because even when a small private plane crashes head-first into a 747, the autopilot nonetheless manages to keep the plane aloft for [...]
Starring: Prince, Apollonia Kotero
The film is obviously a must for fans of The Once and Future Price (aka the artist formerly known as “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”) but I’ll admit that Scooter and I rented it just to flesh out our new “Rock ‘n Roll” genre. Still, Purple Rain was a [...]
