Solarbabies (1986)
Only the 1980's could have made a movie like this
What is it about this silly piece of 1980's scifi cheese that makes it so much fun to watch? "Solarbabies" (easily one of the worst titles in movie history) is unlike any movie you've ever seen before, if only because is has so much fun being so freaking bizarre.
The plot of the movie is basically irrelevant, a mishmash of every 80's scifi movie cliché imaginable - plus roller skates. A group of post-apocalyptic teenagers take on the fascist water-hoarders by, among other things, roller skating across the desert (honest to God!) and attacking the bad guys' superfortress with hockey sticks and a glowing bouncy ball. Think "Mad Max" meets "Starlight Express." Once you start watching, you'll be hooked. Probably a great movie to watch while wasted.
Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966)
A shameful failure
This movie was so mind-numbingly awful that I had trouble even watching the MST3K episode that heckled it. Is there, you may ask, at least some aspect of this movie that one could point to and say, "Well, at least some other movie did it worse"? No. It looks like it was shot over the weekend on drug store-quality 8mm film by people who were making it up as they went along. I'm not going to waste time going into detail about this movie's flaws, because its very existence is a flaw.
This is, in my long experience of cheesy movie-watching, the bottom of the barrel. If you wish to torture your children for misbehaving, keep a copy of this movie on hand.
