Best worst movie ever……

Flash Gordon was on TV tonight-probably the only really bad movie saved by it’s soundtrack.

As a result of the Queen sound track though-and all the hot babes in 70’s hairdo’s-it’s on my list of “movies I can watch again and again”.

Of course, as most of you know-its best to be about half in the bag before you start watching this movie. If getting stoned were still in the permissible column-that probably wouldn’t hurt either. Since its not-drink up!

  1. Cali,

    chances are that getting stoned is legal here. I’ll have to try that one and the movie.

  2. Pitiful Earthlings!

    I remember the movie (and yeah, its one in the so bad it’s good category) but forgot that Queen did the soundtrack.

  3. I remember Ming the Merciless – I think he was the C.O. on the frigate I did my last Med Cruise on……

  4. I remember he hype when this movie came out, and I thought it was pretty god at the time (I was a teenage boy, and enjoyed the T/A shots).

    I would place the movie “Xanadu” in th esame category. ELO pretty much went downhill after that sound track.

    Didn’t the Buck Rogers movie come out around the same time?

  5. I much preferred the R-rated satire version “Flesh Gordon”. That one WAS funny. How can you not laugh about robot rapists and fighting hermaphrodites!
