Have Your Say: What's Your Favorite Gloriously Ridiculous Film?
Yesterday, Peter Martin wrote a great, great article about why Gods of Egypt is utterly ridiculous, yet why he had a shitload of fun with it regardlessly.

And why shouldn't he? Most films require us to shut off part of our brain anyway, lest we look too critically at what is improbable, what is implausible, and what is flat-out impossible. Many impossibilities and other oddities have worked their way into film short-hand, and are use so often that we don't notice them anymore (or have even learned to like them). You know, the exploding car, the shot shoulder which is "only a flesh wound", the Wilhelm scream.

So when people like Tsui Hark shoot for showing the impossible, he may succeed or fail, but he's given me some great sequences with his wanton disregard of, well... anything!

Which brings me to our question of the week: what is your favorite gloriously ridiculous film? Chime in, in the comments below, and HAVE YOUR SAY!
