If you think Duel in the Sun was a great movie, we ask, have you seen it lately? For those who believe that great stars equal great films, we offer you Fatal Attraction. And for anyone who insights that Hollywood never actually sets out to make an awful film, please rent The Sandpiper immediately. Just when you thought you 'd have to yawn your way through another gushing coffee-table tome on Hollywood comes this hip, irreverent, devastingly witty tour through more than 200 of the most hyped, highly touted, and wonderfully bad movies of all time. Compiled by the caustic authors of Movieline magazine's popular feature "Bad Movies We Love," this outrageous book leaves no stone (including Sharon) unturned as it skewers some of Hollywood's biggest big-budget film fiasco ever, and the stars who made it all happen - frrom Airport to Cocktail, from Bette Davis and Laurence Olivier to Julia Roberts and Kevin Costner.Hear eye-rolling dialogue! Gasp at scenery chewing performance! Marvel at gloriously absurd plot lines! Packed with provocative behind-the-scenes information and 216 pages of hilarriously captioned stills, this high-camp homage -to-garbage is side splitting proof that sometimes movie-making means having to say you're sorry - very sorry!
