18. Did you watch Dodgeball on DVD?
One of the bonuses with the DVD includes the original ending. I won't give it away here, but if you're a fan of the movie you must check it out.

Favorite quote: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

6. Detroit Rock City
I know this movie is nothing spectacular on pretty much any level, but I enjoy watching it anyway.

The critics tell me that The Butterfly Effect and The Village sucked as well, but I enjoyed both of them.

9. There's a Russo-Finnish movie called
Jack Frost that Mst3K made fun of when they were on Sci-Fi, but I would watch it for itself without Mike and the Bots riffing on it. It's got some interesting Russo-Finnish mythology (I guess they're the culture's myths) in it, and I think the scenery and cinemetography was very beautiful.

10. Dodgeball, 13 Going on Thirty (don't ask me why, maybe it was
the fact that I'm the same age is the "heroine" :)), hmmm, I'm sure I could come up with more if I put my mind to it.

13. Well there is that, but I see plenty of movies with smokin' women, but
I don't like 'em because of that. I mean Angelina Jolie is HOT, but Tomb Raider sucked donkey balls.

14. I never watched 3, and it took me quite a few tries to watch 2
I always made the mistake of watching it when I was already tired as hell, so I ended up falling asleep, not so much because it was boring, but because I was exhausted :).

15. The 1st is the only really good one, but three is better than 2.
2 just builds on the story. Not enough action for a movie that is supposed to be an "action movie." 3 has the final battle between the humans a machines, pretty cool effects.

17. Dude, Where's My Car
This movie is *so* stupid that it's quite humorous. And Hal Sparks steals the movie. Ok, I'll admit watching Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott wrestle, make out, etc. was pretty hot.

39. I made a VHS tape of that...
... and my kids were watching it so I tuned in. The first time I thought it was ok, but by the second or third, I loved that movie.

They don't make -em like that very often. It's a space peanut.

22. Last American Virgin
By all standards, a terrible movie. But the twists the story takes in that last half make most teen angst movies look like treacle.

My favorite teen movie besides "Flirting".

63. Strange brew........there I said it.
Possibly one of the alltime stupid, spur of the moment, flash in the pan, retard fests of my generation. Me and a guy I work with are probably the only two people on the face of the earth who loved it. Having said that, if you rent it don't blame me.
