The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087903/

My buddy and I used to love to go to these cheesy, sword and boobies movies. We would find them in Joe-Bob Briggs' columns. Boobs, beasts, and buckets of blood.

Joe Bob was great. Loved his Joe Bob's Drive In on The Movie Channel about 20 years ago. As for Gwendoline, that was Tawny Kitean's breast role.

A couple of movies for me:

The 13th Warrior with Antonia Banderas

The Longest Ride

Looks like IMDb needs your help with a synopsis of this movie Big Grin

That is a good movie - what is to be embarrassed about?


Then why did I get all of those funny looks when I went to the theater to see it and I didn't have any kids with me? Smile

Not embarrassed, but along with The Shadow, I'll always love Demolition Man. The movie dates even worse than Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and absolutely nothing it predicted survived 1996, but it was such so much fun. If I'm thinking right, it's also one of the last R-rated movie with a toy line aimed at 2nd graders with horrific violence. How can you lose?

Now see. This is a good example of what I imagine the gist of this thread is.

Most of these movies I just don't know what y'all are embarrassed about.
