That movie was a big deal when it was being released, but you notice unlike Tommy or other "Musicals", you rarely ever see this one repeated (even on VH1) That says alot.
I just saw the worst movie ever
I was flipping through the channels and caught this movie right at the start, the movie was Sgt Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band.
Being a fan of the Beatles I thought I would like it, with Gerorge Burns the narrator and the Bee Gees and Sgt Peppers band this had to be the wackiest movie I have ever seen in my life, the story and the plot made no sense.
The music was classic Beatles stuff yet was sung in some strange ways, I almost lost it when George Burns started singing "Fixing a hole" don't believe me Click here to listen
In the middle of the movie the show just stops and out comes Earth Wind and Fire, and they do their own Mini Concert singing Got to get you into my life, complete with a big stage with letters that Blink Earth Wind and Fire.
Then there is Steve Martin, singing Maxwells Silver Hammer. Oh god when will this film end. Click here to listen if you ears can take the torture!
While some songs had me singing along most of the time I was wondering how the hell this movie ever got released.
I hope Paul McCartney sounds better then this when I see him in concert next month.
If your flipping through the TV and see this movie on, I would skip it.

This was a VERY bad movie! I paid a good 4 bucks to see this in the theater too! About halfway through it, the entire audience was channelling Joel, Tom Servo and Crow even before they existed as MST3k. The experience was entertaining. The movie was TERRIBLE!
Come on...Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees? No... It's to terrible to rememeber...must....for..get....MUST...for..get....
See ya

Any Ahnold movie is better than any Stalone Movie (alright any Stalone Movie after "Rambo")
I have seen "Jingle All the Way", I see your "Jingle" with a "Stop! or My Mom Will Shoot" and raise you a "Rhinestone" and an "Over The Top"
And I have an "Oscar" hidden up my sleeve

I will argue to the death that after First Blood in 1982 he must have stopped reading his scripts (Copland only exception in past 20 years)

Other than Sgt. Peppers, I actually liked all the other movies mentioned in their own way. Well...maybe not Rhinestone.
But Plan 9 from Outer Space is a CLASSIC! It is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's so bad that it is a great comedy!
I took Jingle All the Way for the farse it was. It was great fun. It wasn't meant to be the next Terminator movie or True Lies. It was just a romp.
Same goes for "Oscar". This was a 1950's farse in the 80's (?) (or early 90s...don't remember...not important). Mistcast, I'll grant you. But had this movie been made in 1956 it would have starred Cary Grant or David Niven or even Edward G. Robinson.
The problem I have with Sgt. Peppers is you JUST CAN'T MESS WITH THE BEATLES!!!!
See ya

Just as "Arsenic and Old Lace" did. I knew there was a reason I like both movies. AAOL though, was made in 1944.
Ditto here. That is the nice thing about some of the above "bad" movies, although I can't say Jingle is an escape.
The nice thing about most of the above is that they are usually filled with sight gags which take some concentration on the movie and plot to catch. This is totally different than most shoot em ups which don't require much in the way of concentration to get the most out of them. Not that I don't enjoy a good shoot em up.On my favorite silly movies list along with AAOL would be "Harold and Maude" and "Raising Arizona". H&M attained cult status and played for 5 years uninterrupted in one theater in suburban Minneapolis. Additionally, "The Freshman" is a good silly flick, but doesn't quite make it to the level of the others.
