A dollar from every Catholic in the world? How would you verify that?

I like that they don't just want as many dollars as there are Catholics, but for each of them to pay equally.

That is pretty fair-minded of them. They could have just put together a sham charity, no need to kidnap the pope.

Other ridiculous movies:

'The Luck Of the Irish' (kid gets in touch with his Irish heritage, finds out he's part of a secret Leprechaun family)

'Police Academy IV: Citizens on Patrol' (Michael Winslow is back with his hilarious sound effects, plus 90 minutes of stuff that's empty of hilarity)

'Mule Skinner Blues' (some old guy makes a horror movie featuring a 2 armed guy in a monster suit getting revenge on the guy who caused him to 'lose his arm', very old woman sings 'I'm never gonna get another DUI' twice.)

 'The First 20 Million is Always the Hardest' (intolerable and unwatchable (except for Rosario Dawson) adaptation of Po Bronson's book about Silicon Valley entrepreneurs)

and so on.

Has anyone mentioned 'I Know Who Killed Me' yet?  That's a highly potent brand of WTF.  Lindsay Lohan at one point has bionic limbs.  It's hysterical.

There's no film as ridiculous as "JFK."
Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.

I recently saw Cobra for the first time. Quintessentially, ridiculously 80s. And done with such conviction that I almost admire it. There's not one crack in the facade of something so stupid, I don't know how it can stand up under its own power.

Another Golan Globus production. I'm telling you, every time you see those names come up in the opening credits, plonk your ass down on that couch. You aren't going anywhere for a while.

Coming to me in VHS format, thanks to a seller on Amazon... Never Too Young To Die

I've got this one on VHS too.  It sits proudly next to my Dickens collection.

The Prince of Tides.

Getting to the heart of your issues in therapy is often a painstaking process, and the "poison thought" that is causing most of your issues usually turns out to be something not so terrible once exposed to the light of day.  In the Prince of Tides, Nick Nolte's character has the epiphany in therapy that HE AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY HAVE BEEN RAPED BY ESCAPED CONVICTS.   Ah the subtlety.

For real.  They've done some amazing things with cinema.  I mean "amazing" I mean in the same way Jersey Shore is amazing.
