Escape From New York

Huzzah for midnight movies (huzzah = hooray for people who are too cool to say 'hooray', duh). Actually, this film was obviously bad, but fun to watch anyway in a way which has something to do with its badness but also something to do with the bits of it that were actually quite good (most notably the look of the film - the blasted, post-apocalyptic NYC was rather well done). Kurt Russell and Lee van Cleef heaps of fun. But really, could only ever have even slightly worked as a midnight viewing.
