One of my favorite movies from my youth was Frenchman’s Creek. Don’t know why, but it was captivating to me and I’ve never forgotten it. Can’t find a copy of it anywhere to buy.

The worst comedy ever made ? Probably the remake of “The Pink Panther” with Steve Martin.

Ebay has “Frenchman’s Crack”, but it’s about a plumber from Paris.

‘Bravo! Thank you for injecting some postitiveness into the dreariness’

Yeah, I don’t know anything about famous babies either, but Kim K. does have her pre-baby overweight figure back.

I’ve never seen “Field of Dreams”.

MIB2...ehhh. I watched it once. I actually thought MIB3 was decent.

Inspector Gadget: Never watched it; not a big Mr. Horseface fan.

Flubber: Never watched it.

“It can lonely hating a classic movie that most people LOVE.” I kinda feel that way with “The Breakfast Club”; it’s a good movie, I just never thought it was “it”.

Usually have to go the zoo to see a hippo’s ass.

“...but Kim K. does have her pre-baby overweight figure back.”

So it’s back to just being a regular fat ass with a ton of plastic surgery that made it’s face look like a deer.

I find nothing attractive about any of that clan.

Frankly my dear, go F yourself, you hatefilled c-word.

“3/4 of a fag”

She was hot but being married to her might have made him go 4/4ths.

I loved the first MiB, haven’t seen the third.

I knew 2 minutes in that the 2nd would suck.

Exactly!!! She was so mean to Rhett. Melanie would have worshipped the ground he walked on and vice versa.

“She was hot but being married to her might have made him go 4/4ths.”

Yep. After a couple pokes, done.

“I loved the first MiB, haven’t seen the third.”

It was pretty good; I watched it when I was in the hospital - it was much needed levity.

“I knew 2 minutes in that the 2nd would suck.”

Agreed. It was crappy.

A lot of those old Paramount films like “Frenchman’s Creek” (1944) used to be common staples on tv in the 60s/70s, but they haven’t circulated much in ages. Just like all those Dorothy Lamour sarong pictures. Bootleg prints are usually available, but the quality is often lacking.

I saw “Inspector Gadget” cause I loved the cartoons as a kid. Cue talking Afro-American car (huge WTF) and homosexual Dr. Claw, (also a WTF).

“Flubber” is of course a remake of “The absent minded professor”. A putrid remake. I think I liked “The absent minded professor”, last saw it as a kid.

“...talking Afro-American car...homosexual Dr. Claw...”

Giggity!!!

Flubber: Robin Williams cashing a check, I’m sure. DeNiro has caught that bug too.

“The absent minded professor”: Another one I haven’t seen.

Yes, 1999 it came out, I would have been 15 or 16. We saw it in the theater. I was angry at Mr. Horsestien for making that. They made a direct to dvd sequel with French Stewart (who rubs me the wrong way), you’d have to pay me to watch it although I think Billyboy told me it’s better.

“Absent-minded Prof” I saw on the Disney channel back when they showed things that people wanted to watch.

Flubber was ‘97, saw that in the theater too. It long lead my “worst movie I’ve seen” list.

The current “winner” BTW is this abortion you’re probably never heard of

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289437/reference

SO boring. At least a really bad movie you can usually make fun of but not if it’s just boring. And it probably didn’t help I watched it the night my grandma was dying.

Her head should be used to kick extra points.

Remember it... well--

I last saw it years ago on the American Movie Classics channel many years ago. Don't even have AMC on my present cable system nowadays.

To my knowledge, the film has never been released on DVD or Video Tape.
