Kentucky Fried Movie was not only cheesy but bizarre.
Hubby says Gator Bait 1 or 2 qualifies as limburger.

Speaking of The last american Virgin. I would live to know if there is a sound track for that movie. It would be great to have for breakups.
And if your interested it is on this weekend Sept 24 on movie pix.

You mean you didn't love Clambake? Clambake is one of the finest singing, dancing, racing, secret rich guy movies ever made.

How could I have forgotten Porky's?!? Those movies are hilarious!
What about Mystery Science Theater 2000... I liked it, but it reeks of cheese!

Anyone up for a little mirrored window shopping..?
Ok so I can't spell for shit but here goes, "THE" number one cheesy movie of all time has got to be Jonny Pneumonic or what ever the fuck it's called, come on you know the one I'm on about.
Keanu Reeve's = fucking cheese.
Oh and what about Tank Girl.

Gil, I'll take a crack at defining "cheeze", but as you know, it's a tricky proposition. I'll make an analogy to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle which states that one can know either an electron's angular momentum or its velocity, but not both simultaneously.
In this same way, you can say what cheeze is or what is cheezy, but the don't really reconcile. Here are two possible definitions.
1. Cheeze as the circle of quality: One way to describe "cheeze" is a movie that's so bad that it's actually good. For example, it's indisputable that the Elvis movies are poor in virtually every way: bad acting, predictable plots, terrible dialogue, etc. But, inexplicably, for some reason these movies transcend "badness" and loop back to being sublime. Kung Fu movies are another great example of this phenomenon. Come to think of it, maybe the yin and the yang are behind this whole thing.
The reason that there's so much argument on this thread about which movies are cheezy is that cheeze is simultaneously good and bad. Dirty Dancing is great and it's terrible. When one can appreciate that the two are not only diametrically opposed, but also inseparable and one, he dao of cheese is attained.
If someone can tell me what the hell I'm talking about, please let me know.
2. Cheeze as unintentional humor: Another way to look at cheeze is a movie that has accidently and somehow serindipitously achieved quality in a totally unintentional way. To use the kung fu movie example again, can you imagine that the makers of these movies had any idea of the comic synnergy that would be created by the combination of super-human martial arts, poorly-dubbed dialogue, terrible writing, and poor special effects? Not likely.
There may be no better proof of a divine being than the existence of cheeze.
Still though, these definitions leave something to be desired. There's plenty that's cheezy that defies my feeble attempts to explain it. So maybe it's best to use the often-quoted Supreme Court quote about porn to explain cheeze: I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.
So, after all this, my advice to you is this, grasshopper: rent Footloose with Kevin Bacon and the lotus of cheeze shall open before your eyes.

SexyRH, Mystery Science theater 3000 is brilliant! I don't think it's cheezy though, because it makes fun of movies that are themselves cheezy. Hence, old movies... cheezy. MST3000... just plain funny.

Hey Ollie!!!
Did I get the name wrong or is there more than one?
And is your name pronounced "All of her clothes off?"
I'm probably the only dumbass that doesn't quite know, but I've wondered for awhile now

Nope, there's only one of me. (You're breathing a sigh of relief, right? )
And not only are you a sexy redhead, but one with an excellent grasp of phonics. hehe

Well, Mr. Clozoff, Flattery will get you everywhere!
Hee hee Not that I'm not still breathing a sigh of relief, Ollie, trust me, I am, but I meant the movie!
Did I get the name of the MST movie wrong when I called it MST2000, or is there more than one (i.e. MST 2000 AND 3000)??
Hee hee

SighCoBeeich: "Who ever said that must either be 1) GAY or 2) Be completely BORING in bed. Thank you. Later."
Eh? First, you know who said that. You can their handle right beside their post. Please though, tell me how disagreeing with your opinion makes someone gay, or even GAY - which I assume is a gay with a great deal of capital.
teresafinn: ""To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" is my favorite cheesy movie. Wesley Snipes in drag is the ultimate in cheese."
I adored that movie..
OUTSIDER: "Oh and what about Tank Girl?"
It was satire.

I think Blues Brothers 2000 is very cheezy. The music was great but I hated the movie. I'm not a big fan of the first one either. But my husband loves them both so I have seen them repeatedly. And I think Dirty Dancing is a great movie, one of my favorites.
Well, I'm pretty sure that THIS will go unrecognized . . .
Woo-hoo! First post! Anyway . . .
First of all, understand that I'm fascinated with Japanese-style animation (anime), so I don't expect this to register, however . . .
Armageddon (not the one with Bruce Willis) has to be the single cheesiest movie I've ever seen. If you think it's even worthy of the title 'movie.' And actually, I'm relatively sure it's not Japanese, but Korean or Vietnamese or something. The company who brought it here doesn't localize Japanese films exclusively. Anyway, Armageddon is even cheesier than your average Hong Kong kung fu movie, except this is a sci-fi thing. Really glad I didn't buy it.
