The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977)
Those crazy kids!
First of all, I presume that if you are reading this, you probably accessed this page on purpose...which is all the more reason that I should say that The Bad News Bears: Breaking Training is classic! However, I think it's fair to say that the movie isn't conventionally perfect...far from it. But there are a myriad of redeeming qualities in this movie. First off...this movie has one of the best theme songs ("Lookin' Good") of any movie to come from the 70's. And any movie that can blatantly stereotype every disposition and culture (images of Mexican, black, and white Americans come to mind) and do it so humorously is a winner in my book.
Chrome Hearts (1989)
One-liners and outlandishness make this movie fun (not scary) for those of us sick-minded individuals in the world.
There are some movies that have a novelty that is undescribable. Chopper Chicks in Zombietown is definitely one of those movies. Although the movie is not necessarily intended to evoke laughter, it does so with relative ease. This is one monster movie that won't have its audience engaging in "let's wake the dead" scream fests (no pun intended).
One liners are essential to this movie's hilarity. "And for the record, I'm the dyke. Blow me." "If you were supposed to do normal things, God would have made you look like a normal person" (in reference to the ubiquitous midget...a necessity for a funny movie!). And of course, a slide whistle theme song brilliantly used during the zombie scenes is essential as well.
So, watch the movie. Be entertained by its outlandishness. Or rent it just because of the title. After all, that's why I rented the movie in the first place.
The Juniper Tree (1990)
Bjork adds quirkiness to even the driest of movies, which makes the movie quite enjoyable and, well, good.
Obviously, the major attraction of this film is the star, Bjork. But the film also has some little quirks that are hard to find in big budget movies of late. For instance, the "evil" stepmother sews the little boy's mouth shut, so that he may never speak badly about her again. The film is also very symbolic. And, if that's not enough, Bjork is in the movie!
