And Rocky 3 is in there! Who didn't like that when it came out? One of Mr. T's finest performances. Who can forget "Eye of the Tiger?"

Not a big deal. The movie itself is bad.

CO-SIGN!
Doesn't it make you smile when you realize no one was there to see the stupid thing you just did?

Well, I just ranked GQ as one of the worst magazines ever and that's about as valid as GQ's critique on movies. Opinions are like assholes and the editors at GQ must have a lot of them. Maybe Prince should shove his "Purple Rain" Oscar up theirs.....

Purple Rain isn't the strangest inclusion on the list. The Poseidon Adventure is their number 4, and I love the hell out of that movie!

how the hell can they have Vanilla Sky and Legend in there.
Tim Curry is an excellent bag guy/stroke dark lord in this.


hmm

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Because Vanilla Sky is a piece of shit.

Legend, on the other hand, is classic.

Purple Rain is the blueprint to all musican movies.

I think it should be clarified that GQ's list is the titled the best worst films ever made--meaning they have lots of appeal. Or at least that was the idea in the couple of reviews I read.

Purple Rain was good. At least it didn't have any involvement with that evil anti-Christ, Tommy Motolla. confused
