Cracked: The 7 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Movies of the Decade

3. Thanks! I'll look for that.

Sounds interesting.

Progressoid: If you are in a hosital, "Battlefield Earth" will cheer you up...however unintentionally. It's such a shambling, slobbering, horrendous wreck of a movie that you can't stop watching. And listening.

According to several accounts, the studios didn't want to touch this POS at all and predicted it would be a giant gobbler. But Travolta put up huge sums of his own money to get it made. And lost it all. Which sort of makes me happy.

Long as I'm ranting...I will never forgive Quentin Tarantino for yanking the stake from the cankered heart of Travolta's film career and re-animating that hammy bastard on our movie screens. We had Travolta safely in his coffin - he was making talking baby and dog movies, fer Crom's sake. Then along comes the grossly overrated Poop Fiction, and suddenly Revolta is popping up in every other movie made for the next 20 years.

e.g., I enjoyed the novel The General's Daughter and was looking forward to the movie. Casting Travolta took care of that for me. As a Southerner myself, Mr. Travolta, a bit of advice - putting on a Southern accent involves a little more than faking a s-l-o-w drawl. People from Louisiana have especially distinctive accents. You sounded like Joe Pesci on Xanax.
