Yes...the campiest war movie I've ever seen...hate it, hate it.

The dialogue is so stupid...just juvenile, Pro-US propaganda.

I actually feel that way about every Speilberg film.

He thinks the viewers are just ignorant, uneducated rubes...it oozes out of his films..

with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn.

It was supposed to be a black comedy but it was really campy and silly. I can't imagine why Meryl Streep agreed to be in that stinker!

But I love it! I have it on DVR and I watch it all the time.

So The Frighteners and Re-Animator are a couple of the best camp movies I've ever seen.

You will never view the question "Is he dead?!" in the same way again.

From the 1979 Canadian comedy, "Meatballs" directed by Ivan Reitman, and was Bill Murray's first starring role.

It cost a mere $1.6 million to make and has grossed over $43 million.

It's a very funny film - I've seen it at least 30 times

The film's score was written by Elmer Bernstein.
The best song was "Are You Ready for the Summer" by North Star Camp Kid's Chorus
