Thread Name: BS: Good bad films
Subject: RE: BS: Good bad films
I have a friend who loves "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", which I haven't been able to watch for more than 60 seconds... LOL

But both hubby & I grew up watching old films on TV in the '50's & '60's and still enjoy them, dated as they may be. I did notice that the Eddie Cantor films - which were basically rip offs of his vaudeville routines- didn't stand up as well as I had hoped in the 40 plus years between viewings. sigh

But I can sit down to Gunga Din (Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. & Victor McLaughlin) any time & laugh me arse off. Same goes for The 13th Warrior, though it's more of a chuckle and I still cringe at the pathetic CGG storm scene.

I endure the '60's clothes & hair (the story is based on events during the end of WWII) just to enjoy the beauty of the Lippizaner stallions in the Miracle of the white Stallions .. and watch Eddie Albert (an actual WWII hero) play the zither.

The crap I would watch or read if it had horses in it.... :D
