I agree with the "Hercules" sentiment.  I took my 5-year-old son to see it
and he kept grousing at me, "It's not funny!"

My favorite bad western is "Waco" with reformed ex-con Howard Keel
taking full-figured Jane Russell away from nearly comatose preacher
Wendell Corey.  Ms. Russell spends most of the movie looking as if she
smells rancid meat.  As an extra bonus, DeForest "Bones" McCoy appears
as a second-banana bad guy, and Brian Donlevy rides in and out of town
in about five minutes (guess he was the only smart one).  The plot
(such as it is) closely parallels that of "Blazing Saddles."  Maybe
Mel Brooks saw "Waco" and was inspired.

My favorite bad SF film was "Saturn Three" with Michael Douglas' dad
Kirk trying for a comeback as a he-horse and Farah the Fawcett as a
vacuum-headed sex object.  The only redeeming moment was a 4-second
glimpse of Farah's left mammary.
