Truly bad films can be awesome but the bottom line is entertainment. If it makes you laugh then its a good movie.

Not an 80's film but for a truly bad but entertaining movie watch Mars Attack with Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Glenn Close, Martin Short, Michael J. Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Natalie Portman, James Earl Ray, Tom Jones and other big names.

spaaking of terrible funny and john candy, spaceballs not mentioned yet?

Did you mean Jones?

Pretty sure you must have, I don't remember any assassins in that movie

And I can tell you, @LaSalleAve and @LSUMASTERMIND aint about to let that fly as a Freudian slip either

I sometimes get the names confused.

Tom Jones



Seriously though....James Earl was killed off so fast I don't think he's even credited.

That's not unusual.

Ray or Jones?

I also loved Vacation, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

My teenager enjoys Can't Buy Me Love with Patrick Dempsey from 1987 (she's also binge-watched Grey's Anatomy on Netflix, so she loves her some "McDreamy.")

Another great teen flick was Say Anything.
