"Get Crazy" (1983)

The stage manager (Daniel Stern) of a Los Angeles concert venue struggles to mount the theater's annual New Year's Eve rock show, despite constant interference from musicians and their egos, unruly audience members, and a crooked real-estate mogul who wants to put the theater out of business so he can knock it down and put up a skyscraper.
A chaotic slapstick rock n roll comedy directed by Allan "Rock N Roll High School" Arkush, allegedly based on things he witnessed as an employee of New York's Fillmore East concert hall in the 70s. The cast is full of familiar faces like Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel, Malcolm McDowell, Ed Begley Jr., Stacey "Halloween III" Nelkin, and real-life rockers Lou Reed and Lee Ving of Fear. Funny stuff with a rockin' soundtrack!

"The Producers" (1967)

A down-on-his-luck theatrical producer (Zero Mostel) and his accountant (Gene Wilder) concoct what they think is the perfect get-rich-quick scheme: produce a Broadway show so terrible that it flops on opening night, then run off to Rio with their investors' money. However, their production -- a pro-Nazi musical called "Springtime For Hitler" -- becomes an unexpected hit, leading to panic and mayhem behind the scenes.
Mel Brooks wrote and made his directorial debut with this slapstick showbiz comedy classic. Brooks later adapted it as a legit Broadway musical in the 1990s, which was then re-made as a new film with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in the 2000s.

Yeah, it's nothing personal. I'll watch it one day if I live long enough. My OCD really compels most of my viewing choices these days, as having 120 years of interesting films to watch was pretty paralyzing for a lot of my adult life. For decades I tried to just watch each new/current year's films - but that was hundreds of films to watch per year, and eventually I slipped many years behind, and was missing out on many classics from the 20th century. Sooooooo... now I'm just gonna' try to work myself up through film history one decade at a time until I reach modernity, or die.  :smile:

In the absence of my wife's stabilizing influence, I'd likely watch very few modern films, ever. A good friend has urged me to play the video game DISCO ELYSIUM for several years, assuring me (as many many critics and players have) that it's the greatest video game ever made and that I will love it. I'm sure he's right, and as each year passes and I don't play it, he grows more and more outraged. But I am a slave to my neurodivergence!

It's got good taste in old DOCTOR WHO episodes, at least.

Quote from: chainsaw midget on October 30, 2026, 09:13:22 PMWhat's next?  Are you people all going to tell me you haven't seen Plan 9?  Highlander 2? 

It all boils down to personal preference. I've seen comments from people who claim they love watching bad movies, but never seen Troll 2 or Showgirls or other big names.

I did watch Plan 9 once. Never had the desire to revisit. Seen Highlander 2 when it was released to home video and honestly, don't remember much about it.

Never seen Battleship Earth, but I have watched Birdemic and The Room many times.

Maybe one day I will watch Battleship Earth, or maybe not. Who knows. For some people the Killer Tomato movies are not a number one priority.
