"Private School" w/Phoebe Cates at the Chester, NY drive-in theatre, mid-80s. Horrible flick.

It sort of missed the thrust of the Heinlein book, against fascism.

Not directed at you, per se, but going against the grain in given negative opinions on fairly well received moves is weird. Why aren't we just picking universally bad movies like "The Room"? No one who has seen that movie has said it was good.

I just got to say that 'Ishtar' was actually brilliant and few got the joke.
It's about really really bad and pathetic songwriters, and the songs are brilliantly awful. The average awful songwriter couldn't come up with the stuff. That the film ending credits conclude with a acknowledgement of a soundtrack on some big label, but there was never a soundtrack that was released is just too bad. I still have a sound file I digitized of all the musical moments from the film, in the early 90s, where I patched my VCR into my Macintosh SE 10MB computer.

In one of Gary Larson's The Far Side comic strips, captioned "Hell's Video Store", the entire store is stocked with nothing but copies of Ishtar. Larson later apologized, saying, "When I drew the above cartoon, I had not actually seen Ishtar ... Years later, I saw it on an airplane, and was stunned at what was happening to me: I was actually being entertained. Sure, maybe it's not the greatest film ever made, but my cartoon was way off the mark. There are so many cartoons for which I should probably write an apology, but this is the only one which compels me to do so."

Yeah, I know there's a revisionist movement that claims Ishtar is actually a good movie, although even there the claims seldom go beyond "it's not that bad."
The part I remember best is when Isabelle Adjani is disguised as a boy because blahblahblah plot points, and Warren Beatty thinks she (as a boy) is coming on to him. So he punches her in the face. He punches her in the face and gives her a bloody nose. That's just one of the hi-larious hijinx in Ishtar. I guess I didn't get it.
