My brother's birthday is coming up. What's a terrible movie that I can give him?
starring none other than "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and containing the immortal line (I think I'm paraphrasing this): "I came here for two things: to kick some ass, and to chew bubblegum. And I am all out of bubblegum."
"My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine
"The subject of onanism is inexhaustable." --Sigmund Freud
Hey why don't you give him a great surprise.. like this:
get a girl in the secret, and make her like seduce him a little etc. Then at your cue, she'll make a mess of it and be angry about something and leave. Next thing cops come in and take him away for sexual assault. Then on the third day he's in, get him released and you can all laugh about it?
In da butt.

Hey, that was a great movie!!

I'm consitently stupid- Japher I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

I think fallout had a line referencing that quote.
Was ripped off by Duke Nukem. Most of the one-liners are from various movies ('specially Evil Dead).
"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "
-Bokonon
"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of bubblegum."
That line is older than any video game.
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
—Orson Welles as Harry Lime
I'd almost guarantee that it isn't available on DVD (or VHS, for that matter), though. It's also so bad that it actually ends up being kind of good, in a perverse way. My friend and I were absolutely enthralled when we stumbled upon it on late night TV back in college. We were pretty drunk on cheap whiskey, though, which might have had something to do with it...
KH FOR OWNER! ASHER FOR CEO!! GUYNEMER FOR OT MOD!!!
How about the complete "Land Before Time" series? Even my 9 year old has been unable to stomach those for the past 2 years.
How about "Pearl Harbor"? You can watch it with him and point out all the stupid mistakes made. You'd literally be able to talk from one end of the movie to the other.
Then there's Captain Corrino's Mandolin, in which Nicholas Cage forgets that he's supposed to be portraying an Italian officer, but instead reprises the role he played in "Moonstruck" with a comic almopst mock Italian accent. Peter Sellers could have done a better job, but the problem is that the part wasn't supposed to be funny in that way. The enticing little song you hear bits of in the trailer turns out to be the entire song, sung over and over until you want to shout out: "No mas, No mas".
Hey, that reminds me of.........the first version of "Dune", regular cut, not the director's cut. This movie was so badly edited that it lost even people like me who had read the book 4 or 5 times. During the last half theu decided to try to brush over the deficiencies by playing the same theme over and over so that the viewer will surrender long before the house Corrino does, The only redeeming parts of the movie are Patrick Stewart, and the part where Alia the abominal pre-schooler gloats over the death of the Baron.
