Here's a painful one for you: _Battle Beyond the Stars_.
I shudder to admit that as a young, impressionable teenager I watched this
bad yet strangely enjoyable movie on HBO more times than I've seen _The
Godfather_.
It's a Roger Corman SF movie that's essentially an interstellar ripoff of
_The Seven Samurai_/_The Magnificent Seven_. It stars, wait for it, Richard
Thomas of the Waltons, George Peppard of the A-Team, Robert Vaughn of _The
Magnificent Seven_ and Man from UNCLE, John Saxon of more bad movies than
one could easily count, and Sybil Danning, of *even MORE* bad movies than
one could easily count.
It was Corman, so you know it was bad, but at the same time, it was cool,
with a talking spaceship, an evil, immortal tyrant and Thomas playing a
young man from a peaceful planet who has to learn to fight for that peace.
It's not as bad as some of Corman's other works that have been Mistied, but
it's definitely a *guilty* pleasure.
