Wayne's World II would probably win for me. between the Charlton Heston cameo, the roadie, and the sequence of Wayne pickin the Waynestock bands from conveniently placed visual stimuli...classic.

Anyone who's dismissing MacGruber out of hand is doing themselves a grave disservice.

i'm dismissing it out of having watched it, yerman is painful to the eye/ear

I saw MacGruber, it wasn't really all that funny.

Masterpiece: It's Pat - The Movie
Pretty damn close: Stuart Saves His Family; Superstar
Shame on you for stealing the title of the greatest American film comedy: The Ladies Man

But the real question is: does the Lewis Ladies Man hold a candle to It's Pat?

That same year, her father, C.L. Franklin was shot during an armed robbery of his home, and subsequently spent the next five years in a coma, prompting his daughter to leave L.A. and return home to Detroit. Franklin’s career seemed similarly incapacitated as the new decade dawned.

Fab factoid: Dixie Square Mall, in which the car-chase scenes from The Blues Brothers were filmed, chosen for filming because it had just closed down in 1978 only 13 years after it was built, still stands today because nobody wanted to pay to tear it down. It has stood as a derelict, vacant building for over twice as long as it was actually open for business!

I kind of loathe Superstar with a gut-wrenching intensity

like KJB repping for it in the same breath as Stuart tempts me to watch it again, but, as it turns out, the thought of ever watching it again is itself a peculiar form of torture

xp A friend of mine grew up near that mall, which was vacant during his whole childhood...except for one night when it was mysteriously, and suddenly, completely lit-up and fully-stocked. A day or two later, it was back to being vacant. He thought he'd dreamed it or was otherwise going nuts until he saw the movie.

Forget the movie, I kind of loathed the Mary Catherine Gallagher sketches.

Like, I might have to do a sequel to this poll: Worst SNL Sketch Upon Which a Movie Was Based. Roxbury would probably win. I honestly don't know what Lorne was smoking there for a while.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I guess not *everyone* hates the Blues Brothers. hmph

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 30 March 2012 00:04 (twelve years ago) link

I can live with that top three.

Coneheads should have been a great movie but wasn't at all

wayne's world deserves its place, but how many were attributable to "anything but the blues brothers" pseudo-challops?!?
