I think my favourate cheesy movie was "Night of the Lepus" I'll never

and we desperately need your help!'

Night of The Lepus was incredibly cheesy. Killer Clowns From Outer Space
was also cheesy. I have clownophobia and that one didn't scare me.
Disgusted me, but not scared me. One that did however was one I saw when
I was about nine or so. This gigantic crab alien would eat humans and
absorb their memories and be able to talk in their voices For some
reason that really caught my imagination. I had nightmares for about a
week.

Has anybody mentioned Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? It's a classic. I
managed to sit through 5 minutes of it once.

Bloodsucking pharoahs has some hilarious scenes where the killer uses
electric power tools w/ a generator on a radio flyer cart to murder
his victims one at a time and remove one boddy part. Circular saw to
the head to steal a brain. Superpowerful shopvac to the victim's
mouth to such out the victim's guts and eyeballs. Cheesy to an
extreme. There's a subplot with a detective's wife who smokes
probably thirty packs of cigarettes a day and at one point tries to
quit. Of course she and her husband are health food freaks. She
checks into a rehab place where they show a stressfull video, she
lights up, and they they hit her with a firehouse, electrocute her,
have a fighter to beat the crap out of her and break her jaw. Her
larynx is gone and she only talks through one of those electronic
squakboxes held against her throat. And it only gets worse.

You lasted longer than I did. Does it help to know that my then pre-teen
sci-fi/fantasy geeks lasted through the whole movie? It made me wonder
where I went wrong.

Does it count as cheesy if it's intentionally cheesy?

My favorite cheese-fests are the ones that were supposed to be of the
non-cheese variety, from major studios with big name actors not on the
downside of their careers.

Since it came up in the drifted-thread, a couple of my favorite
semi-recent "straight" cheesers are "Volcano" and "The Core" - and
"The Core" is actually in heavy TV rotation here lately! : )

(why is it that so many cheesers seem to be of the SF/Action/Adventure
variety?)

You expect cheesy from Romances. We have a running joke around here that
basically, we predict the events and sequences of romantic movies. We also
have fun with the "Woman in peril" movies as well, though we know we're
supposed to take them seriously. Then there's the crisis movies where
someone is going through a crisis of some sort, usually medical, and all
sorts of coincidences occur that make solving the crisis harder or more
critical. You can get a groan and a laugh around this house by intoning
dramatically "But the liver is still viable."

My favorite cheesy movie (besides Attack of the Killer Tomatos, of
course!) (oh, and Plan 9 from Outer Space!) is....wait for it....

Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungles of Death!

Name the hackeneyed cliches! Find all the in-joke references to other
adventure and SF movies! Watch Adrienne Barbeau! Or...don't.

It's hysterically funny.

I don't know if it was cheesy or not, 'cause I didn't watch it, but I
did a real
double-take while I was channel-surfing today, looking at the onscreen
guide.
The name of the movie was, "Let Us Be Gay" What???!!! Then I noticed
the
movie was made in 1930. :-)
