So what is your CAMP (satire) movie?

[Nikepallas]

Me I have to say Down With Love. (I consider it so...)

[Huckebein the Raven]

1. Would French Kiss be considered that type of movie

[Nikepallas]

5. I'm not sure good question.

[Huckebein the Raven]

7. What about Death to Smoochy ?

[Nikepallas]

9. This might help. the dictionary I have says:

Deliberately artifical, vulgar and banal.

[Huckebein the Raven]

10. I think Death to Smoochy qualifies

[Nikepallas]

11. cool. I have never seen either movie you mentioned myself.

[Bronco69]

2. Sordid Lives.

Hilarious! :-)

[terrya]

3. "Soapdish" is hilarious!

[progmom]

13. I loved that one too!

:)

[hickman1937]

27. Thats it. That was the best. Very underated.

Kevin Kline and Sally Field should have made more movies together.

[yellowdogintexas]

4. Dogma is a good one.

and all the Mel Brooks sendups of genre movies, even the bad ones are hysterical

[ldf]

6. i just saw DIE MOMMIE DIE

it was a hoot.

then again, psycho beach party was quite fun, too.

[charlyvi]

8. Gotta be Harold and Maude....

A love story.

[oxymoron]

12. Torch Song

Joan Crawford. My God it's awful.

[NightTrain]

14. For brilliant satire, ya just can't beat "Dr. Strangelove!"

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!"

[livinginphotographs]

15. Class of 1984.

I love that movie. It's almost as cool as The Warriors. (almost)

[CanuckAmok]

18. I was in that one! As an extra...

It was shot in Toronto. I was in one of the school hallway scenes.

Wow...that was a long time ago!



"We are the future...and nothing can stop us!"

Except Perry King with a table saw, of course.

[livinginphotographs]

19. No shit??!!!

Which scene was it exactly?

And I had no idea it was shot in Canada. Cool little factoid there...

[CanuckAmok]

20. I can't remember exactly where...

...it was both going into and leaving Roddy McDowall's classroom, but not actually IN the classroom, because they ended up shooting those scenes after all the underage extras had to be wrapped for night curfew. I was only 14 or 15 at the time. Everybody in the classroom scenes had to be 16 or over, because it was so late.

I haven't seen that movie since it first came out on video! We rented it with some of my friends who were also in it.

Poor Roddy McDowall... doing stuff like this toward the end of his career. Not that it was a terrible movie........ but it was well below what he was capable of.

[livinginphotographs]

23. Sorry to tell you this

But you are definitely the coolest DUer I've talked to so far. :)

I know the movie is pretty expensive since it's out of print. I got it from a used video store. Best damn investment I've ever made.

Sorry, I'm gushing....

[CanuckAmok]

24. Wow...so everything in my life since age 15 is anticlimax. Great.

Well, at least I'll die knowing I did something which will outlive me. ;)

[CanuckAmok]

21. BTW...

if you watch closely during the scene where McDowall's car explodes, the background is the old "perv block" of Yonge Street in Toronto (the most recognisable landmark being the giant spinning neon LP over 'Sam the Record Man')... all those peep shows, old-time burlesque houses, and neon signs are long-gone now... they all closed when the city cracked down on the 'seedy' image of Yonge Street. Now it's just Starbucks' and The Gaps, as far as the eye can see. It's the world's longest street, by the way.

[peekaloo]

16. Mommie Dearest!

[CanuckAmok]

17. Silence of the Lambs...

That movie is so over-the-top ridiculous, how could it ever be anything but camp?

"I'm having a friend for dinner..."

:eyes:

[Blue-Jay]

22. Satire?: This Is Spinal Tap.

Never considered it "camp" however.

[GaYellowDawg]

25. History of the World, Part I.

Spaceballs.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
Young Frankenstein.
High Anxiety.
Blazing Saddles.

Mel Brooks = genius.

[TroubleMan]

26. That and Blazing Saddles are my two favorites

I like all the others, too.

I noticed you didn't have "To Be or Not To Be" on there....trust me it ranks up there with one of his best.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0086450/

If you haven't seen it, get it.

[Tikki]

28. Whenever I read about the price of gasoline..

going up over , what!?.. $2.00, $3.00 a gallon I think of the movie Americathon.

[khashka]

29. Saved

Not a great movie but great satire.

Also: But I'm A Cheerleader. An even worse movie and a better satire.

Khash.

[sundog]

30. Showgirls, Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Trash film is the greatest

[Eyeball Kid]

36. Another vote for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

"It's my happening, baby, and IT FREAKS ME OUT!!!!!"

[Kire]

31. But I'm a Cheerleader

brilliant campy satire of the ex-gay movement

[orleans]

32. Zoolander!

[Lisa]

33. Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death

The title pretty much sums it up!

[Scout1071]

34. SPINAL TAP.

[HamstersFromHell]

35. Flesh Gordon

One of the best campy parodies ever.
