"I've got a little list, i've got a little list"......

How about some concept phrases and identifiers, Just for Badmovies.org. Ken Beggs lists are great, but i wonder if we could come up with some stuff of our own. I have some ideas that might be usefull.....maby. "Sunshine Noir" > Movies that take Noir Sensibilites to  sundrenched California {The Limey, China Town, Ect}  " Space Noir"> for shows like Cowboy BeBop. "Lost Toto"> For movies that start out Normal, then go off into the Surreal, { Three Amigos, Blues Brothers}I.E."I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto."..........maby, oh..."Lt. Dead meat" >(as in Hot Shots), the guys who make the mistake of telling the audience how much they love life....You know the drill. .........Or, maby, "Crosseyed shooting instructor" > to explain how the bad guys can't hit an easy target....well, thats mine so far. How about you guys?

How about the "Fodder Factor" as in clues used to identify fodder:cops, the handicapped, people in the shower, etc.

The first one that springs to mind would be 'decortive acttress' or possibly 'ornamental actress' to describe someone who is best used as window dressing. Nice to look at, but with no acting ability, they're purely for decoration. The term would probably best be applied in describing really bad movies in which a decorative actress is given an important role. The list would include the likes of Pam Anderson, Persis Khambatta, Caroline Munro, Anjelika Jager, and so on.

I suppose it could also apply to male actors.

Mine would be EDU.  Extensive Dummy Usage.  Mostly for kung fu movies I guess.

CUP--or "see-you-pee"--for "Cruel and Unusual Punishment"--any form of killing a la overkill, ranging from gimmicky murderers killing sexy teens with harpoon guns up the ass or antler racks through the boobs, to the idiotic villian-comeupance from crap like ConAir, in which John Malkovich's character goes through a carwash of painful deaths that would make Wile E. Coyote flinch. In other words, whacking material for sociopaths. (No offense.)

"Stand-Up Comic": a "corpse," strategically placed by insane killer in some ridiculous position to flop over on/swing down at/be run into by the screaming virgin, that blinks, breathes, or otherwise blows it--or just looks totally stupid. Based on The Boogens for the female victim who is somehow--and for no reason--propped up in a standing position in a corner--by dumb animals that don't come up to one's knees. Best example: Ron Silver in Chuck Norris' Silent Rage is hung on the back of a door; when someone swings the door open, the "body" glances at the oncoming wall in the film's single moment of actual suspense.

See, this is the kind of genuis i had i mind. Maby Andrew could choose what he likes, and make it offical. A little addendum to the site. Hummmm.......ya' never know!

For Jennifer Lopez, also include "ornamental singer"

Wait, wait, wait! One more thing (sorry, Jackie Chan cartoon fix), "BOL" or "Black One-Liners": Where in every movie, the black character (main, supportive, male, female, etc.) always has some sharp, hip one-liner to say at any given moment (a-la, Not Another Teen Movie)

Heres another general one. R.W.A.M. "Realy Weird Ass Movie." For those films that make you say...HUH??"  Or, "The hell was that all about?"
