I loved it because it made me laugh hard, and no matter how studiously anyone on earth may try to duplicate a great "bad movie," they'll never be able to duplicate this great bad movie. It's just ... perfect. If you can watch it with friends or a crowd, I highly - very highly - recommend you do so.

Author of World Gone Wild: A Survivor's Guide to Post-Apocalyptic Movies and The Good, the Tough, and the Deadly: Action Movies and Stars.
An intriguing erotic mystery based on a novel by Max Ehrlich, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud "peters" out a bit by the end, but the journey Proud takes to find out who he evidently used to be is the fun of the movie.
It's a long cut to be sure, but if you're a fan of the film then this is a great way to watch the movie.
This new DEATH WISH is no classic, but it's an old-school action movie.
A vibrantly colorful sword and sorcery mishmash that reunited the director (Nathan Juran) with the two stars (Mathews and Thatcher) from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jack the Giant Killer should appeal to the same fans, although the stop motion effects were by Howard A. Anderson instead of Harryhausen, and it's a sore spot.
The movie's complete lack of momentum and excitement is occasionally alleviated whenever the creature shows up, but even then it's difficult to stay excited for more than a moment or two at a time.
The plots are pretty thin, but the heart is there, and if you're a fan of regional horror indies, then The Violence Movie collection is for you.
I've seen this movie so many times over the years, but this was the first time where I felt like it looked brand new with vibrant colors and light. A plethora of special features (commentaries, documentaries, etc.) are included for the true fan.
What could have easily turned into a horror show due to its very sensitive subject matter, Savannah Smiles eventually won me over with its sweet heart.
A thoroughly enjoyable comedy / drama / coming of age film with a really winning performance from Modine, Gross Anatomy is yet another great Modine vehicle, following his stellar work in Vision Quest.
