Loose Screws (1985)
Best tit and bum of the 80s
Best tit and bum of the 80s. Massively sexist with stereotyping around every corner. The type of movie you'd have feminists rioting against these days. Just the names crack me up - miss von blow, principal arsenal, Hung Lo and his long lost brother Well Hung Lo, Steve Hardman, and who could forget Miss Mona Lot, the seductive French teacher. We had this movie on tape (with the stupid beach dance scene edited out) growing up. My twin brother and our mates watched it hundreds of times over the years. Get home pissed - put on 'loose screws'! Bored? 'Loose screws!. I still know +70% of the script despite not watching it full length for a few years. So many great corny lines. And the song where Marvin goes to the gym should be remixed into house.
The Pest (1997)
Funny only when stoned
A very stupid movie. But that's why it's good. I got into this movie one summer and just had to keep watching it. We'd just left school and I'm sure my mum was worried for our professional future having a bunch of mates smoking pot and watching the pest thinking it was funny. The opening song is still on my itunes and I've been playing it since downloading it pre Napsta. Not a movie to show your grandma or admit in a job interview it's one of your favourites. But one to watch if you like stupid comedy (ala Adam Sandler and Jim Carey)
