Not sure..

But if you asked me a handful of movies that "You cannot believe you're watching this trash late at night but oddly cannot turn away"...

Clown in a Cornfield
Babygirl
Sew Torn
The Surfer
Echo Valley

A better question would be, based on the title alone, why would you think those would be worth watching?

Next on NetFlix, "Watching Paint Dry.".

Babygirl.. Kidman seems to always pick roles where she gets
slapped around and dehumanized. I liked her in the weird
experimental film Dogville (2003)

Sew Torn.. sounds good. I like the premise.. 3 choices, and
all three are explored in the film. Ever see "Run Lola, Run!"
???

The Surfer.. not a fan of Nicholas Cage.

Echo Valley.. maybe, but it doesn't sound original.

While reading all through this thread so far I was thinking about "The Substance", which is kinda the same but for Demi Moore.

Pol Malvinas.

Wow.. Substance is quite different from what I expected. Never
heard of it. I read the plot. Not sure I want to watch it.
Body horror is not my thing. But I know someone else that may
like it and "the message" of body image that it explores. The
trailer looked interesting.

Then you definately do not want to watch the 1996 Japanese film called Naked Book!

"The Machine Girl" is a hilarious over-the-top body horror flick.

I still think her best is Dead Calm.

Blasphemy! :(

Again... it was "okay", in that you don't mind 2 hours of background noise whilest dealing with household nonsense. Something you occasionally glance at before eventually scoffing how rediculous it is... (but the acting was okay)

Ok.. I guess I haven't given him a chance since National Treasure, which had good suspense/mystery. He was ok in Moonstruck too. I'm pretty sure I saw him in a few other picks. I suppose he gives a fine performance in general.

Watched a trailer. Hmmm. The drill bra is kinda funny in the midst of a slaughter frenzy. I might get through it after several drinks and with friends.

I enjoyed him in The Rock. I thought he played pretty well off Sean Connery (Which truth be told a lot of actors would have had a difficult time doing.).

Con Air was enjoyable. "PUT THE BUNNY.... BACK ... In... The ... BOX!"

Another classic was Guarding Tess, him playing off Shirley Maclaine.

M'am excuse me, but we are not leaving this house until you are seated properly in the right position with your seatbelt firmly FASTENED.
