Which is your favourite turkey movie?
Do you have a favourite turkey movie? I guess we all have our favourites among those really poor quality movies that is so bad that they are enjoyable, in a strange kind of way.
My favourite is Shalako. It is a movie from 1968, starring Honor Blackman, Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot.
It is a western movie, so full of contradictions that it is comical. Connery is Shalako, a revolver man that is going to protect some rich aristocrats from the Apache indians, while they are hunting buffalos. And of course noone listens to Shalako's advices. I suppose noone never would have seen the film if it wasn't for Bardot and Connery.
And the women sure have perfect make ups, given that they are in the middle of the desert.

I never see it, but I really liked Ishtar. It got so panned, but was such a riot with those crazy doofus guys succeeding in taking down the CIA. Hoffman's character was the motivator and Beattie's the crack shot, they had to win. I loved it. I know there are others, give me a day...

Just thought of another goofy but still enjoyable film - Waterworld by Kevin Costner...

I'm with Victoria on Waterworld; spectacularly, cringeingly enjoyable! And The Mighty Ducks; reality mirrors fiction, and I got to touch the Stanley Cup when they played in London.
