Campy Movies! Flicks We Hate to Admit We Love...

Du Jour means seatbelts!

I love that movie, and listen to the soundtrack all the freakin' time, too.

Empire Records! Oh god, why did that have to get mentioned? I remember in high school the soundtrack to that movie was available long before the movie ever came out and I believe it was Direct-to-Video in my city. We listened to that Gin Blossoms song over and over again "I don't want to take advice from fools . . . " Agh. And Rex Manning? UGLY.

I still insist that this was the best that Renee Zellweger has ever looked. She wasn't quite so squinty and anorexic looking. Nor did she reek of her own superior sense of self-importance.

Ooh, I worked on a short with the guy that liked Liv Tyler in that movie, I think he dated her in real life. He was really sweet, a little shy, wouldn't give out Ethan Embry's number..... jerk.

I adore that movie. Rory Cochrane gave me an obsession on boys in black turtlenecks for two months or so.

Damn the Man! Save the Empire!

How cute was Anthony LaPaglia in that movie?

Reading this thread, I realize the majority of my favorites are here. OH WELL.

Mine is and always will be Troop Beverly Hills. I can't get enough of that movie and I'm about to add it to my Amazon wish list as soon as I finish this post.

The "Cookie Time" song and the fashion show and "Kumbaya?" All classic moments. My favorite campy movie. And if you question its campiness? Hello! A young Tori Spelling (and a camp-out)!

This is one of my FAVORITES. The irony of Tori Spelling is this line:

Tori: "Where are you guys from, Mars?"
Random friend: "Worse--BEVERLY HILLS!"

Ha ha.

The lady who played Nancy on Days was on that as a scout...which is just biz-freaking-arre.

Ooooooh....Empire Records! Yeah baby. I could sit down and watch that movie again. Liv Tyler's character got on my nerves, but I adore that movie. Yes! Rory Cochrane. I'm so glad he had the sense to leave CSI: Miami. I loooved me some Rory.

I also have an unnatural love for From Dusk til Dawn. George Clooney's tattoo was so hot to me. I just wanted to see where it went down to. It was such a gory, sick movie, and I typically don't like gory or scary movies, but I loved this one.

I liked Dog Soldiers. I feel slightly ashamed to admit this. Well, it's not straight camp, but rather a mix of horror/gore, machismo and camp. Werewolves in the Scottish Highlands? Genius!

Oh, I thought of one: Earth Girls Are Easy. It has Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, and Damon Wayans. Plus it has Julie Brown singing "Because I'm a Blond." Classic!

::heads off to iTunes to see if she can download "Because I'm a Blond"::

I never technically saw that movie. However, when it was in the theatres, I told my mom I was going to see it in order to go to a party. Damn I'm old.
