 11. Born To Ride Everyone's favorite Uncle Jesse rides motorcycles in this war-period piece about breaking the rules. John Stamos' acting abilities aren't really tested in this little movie, so it's almost like watching a movie called "Uncle Jesse Goes To War". 10. Can't Buy Me Love Before he was McDreamy or McSteamy or McChickennugget... whatever the girls call him... Patrick Dempsey starred in this 80s flick as a nerdy lawnmower rider who pretty much uses his money to buy a girlfriend and get cool. Pretty lame, but always somehow overlooked. 9. Spy Kids Say what you will about Spy Kids 3D being awful, and you can put down Spy Kids 2 (assuming anyone but me ever watched that one) but I will not let you talk smack about the first Spy Kids movie. I'll even admit I was skeptical at first, but the movie really grew on me. So much so, that I made a huge mess in the cereal aisle of the grocery store to find that one box with the free Spy Kids DVD. 8. Superman III This installment of the Superman franchise doesn't get shit on nearly as much as Superman IV, but it's considered the worst Superman ever. Still, I hold a special place in my heart for it because of how I stayed up until 3 am as a kid taping it off TV. There are a few redeeming qualities... but not enough to make anyone else wanna watch this over and over.  One of my favorite Swarzenegger movies, we see Arnold get pregnant with the help of Danny DeVito. Some might say I like this movie simply for all the times they mention Aerosmith in the movie (right down to a poster of the band). It's definitely one to watch after a few drinks. And by a few I really mean a lot. 6. Rhinestone From the Terminator to Rocky... I love Stallone. Hands down, he's my favorite actor. But my wife still makes fun of me for liking this movie. Stallone is a cabbie who helps Dolly Parton get out of a bet and along the way he becomes a country music singer. Yup. I couldn't make that one up. Rhinestone was most definitely my highlight of the 2008 Stallone marathon. 5. Big Top Pee Wee Pee Wee's Playhouse won many awards and got lots of acclaim from critics, but this film is worth a half eaten burger from your high school cafeteria. I just like the idea of Pee Wee hanging out at the circus. Fuck, I just like seeing Pee Wee Herman do anything. 4. Mean Girls I stand my ground that Mean Girls is a really fun movie and there's nothing wrong with it. I only find it embarassing because when I watch it I feel like I should be a teenage girl. When the movie is on I almost want to eat ice cream and do my nails. And that makes me feel dirty. 3. How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days Much like Mean Girls, I find this one embarassing because it's a chick flick. I should hate this movie simply because I'm a man. But Kate Hudson is so deliciously hotterific. C'mon it's not like it's an Olsen Twins movie or anything... 2. Our Lips Are Sealed Oh hell... it's an Olsen Twins movie. I love Full House. I truly love it in my heart. But the Olsen Twins movies can be really hard to watch. I was given Our Lips Are Sealed as a birthday gift from a friend because he thought I'd appreciate the double-entendre of the title. And I do. It took me several months to watch the movie and somehow I loved it. It was cheesy. Very lame. My wife walked out of the room when the twins put paper bags over their heads because they were in hiding. But I just couldn't get enough of it.  I blame this one on my older sister. She had the Annie record and played it all the time, so the music was embedded in my brain. I hate musicals. But Annie is a musical and I love it. Tim Curry gives one of his best performances EVER in this movie. And Albert Finney is so bald that he could've been Lex Luthor. There's something just "right" about Annie that makes you feel all warm and gooey inside like pizza pocket just before a fat kid eats it for lunch. Annie is awesome. There, I said it.
