Best of the Worst 80’s Movies-Better Off Dead
And here begins the first in a series of the best of the worst in 80’s movies. I’ve begged, pleaded, and charmed my way into receiving submissions for this series from my fellow b5media writers. Starting Monday, I’ll share a weekly post featuring those great bad flicks, and introducing you to the blogs of those who love to hate them.
You know which movies I’m talking about, right? Those bad, bad movies that you just can’t walk away from when they’re marathoning for the zillionth weekend on cable. Those movies that you might not dish out well-earned dollars (or quid) for, but that you’d zone out in front of for about a week’s worth of your life.
We’ll start just a day early so that I can share mine with you. Better Off Dead starring John Cusack has to be one of the best of the bad movies. It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but I don’t think much more than a week goes by that either Bald Man or I don’t say, “Fronch fries, Fronch bread, and to drink—Peru!” Also popular in our home are, “I want my two dollars!!!!!” (That’s usually me yelling when somebody has taken my last dollar our of my wallet.) And, of course, “Riiiiiiicccckkyyyy” and “Chriiiiiiisssstmasssss” while squeezing each other’s cheeks together. Good times.
Dang, I’m gonna have to go out and get this one again. In the meantime, you can check out some other great quotes from the movie here. Enjoy!
