this has nothing to do with music, just late nite
tongue in cheek entertainment and looney tunes!
Goin' South - spaghetti western comedy with Jack
Nicholson, Danny Devito
Buckaroo Bonzai - the martians really did land back
with the War of the Worlds radio broadcast and
Buckaroo is out to save planet earth
The Shining - spooky classic, with a mescalero
leftover look in Jacks eyes
3000 Miles to Graceland - 5 Elvis impersonators rob
a casino, Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner etc
Wild Bill - Jeff Bridges is the opium smoking and
whisky drinkin Wild Bill Hickock
Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels - british action
and deceit
Goodfellas - Modern mob classic, Robert DeNiro,
Joe Pesci
The Others - Nicole Kidman redo of the creepy
classic
Remo Williams - my kind of karate movie, spoofish!
Eraserhead - black and white and bent

How about 'Brazil', 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Dune', 'Blade Runner' or anything from Python! All good late night fare...

It's not a remake. It's more that the director spent too much time watching 'The innocents' and mixed it with a touch of 'The Changeling' (a very spooky George C. Scott film the director is known to like).

Troma!
You know, Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'em High, Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, Surf Nazis Must Die, Rockabilly Vampire...to name only the big ones!
Maybe not Cannes material, but fun late-nite fare nonetheless!

excellent list to which I would add Easy Rider and Spinal Tap.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If we are talking "tongue in cheek" and "cheese," there are few films with their tongues planted more firmly in their cheesy cheeks than "Big Trouble in Little China." Also, I love "In the Mouth of Madness," which "out-Kings" Stephen King. On a slightly more "serious" note, try "Cube," "Hypercube," "Dark City," and "The Game."
