Every year or so my wife and I happen to catch a movie that’s made it’s way to TV and get hooked. Usually the dumber, the better. And it’s a requirement that the movie channels play it ad naseum so that it’s hard not to catch it.

Just to get you into the right place here’s some past movies that have received this greatest of honors from us:

Road Trip
The Replacements
Rock Star
That Thing You Do
Mean Girls

The list goes on and on…and on, but those should set the bar appropriately.

The latest on the list to receive the “Have to watch it everytime it’s on” honor?

The Devil’s Rejects

It’s so ridiculously fucking great.

I have a weird sense of humor and horrible taste in entertainment in general, but The Devil’s Rejects is easily one of the best ‘horror’ films ever. It destroys House Of 1000 Corpses and by the end of ‘rejects’ – even though I know they’re going down – once Freebird plays and they charge the roadblock, I’m rooting for them to make it this time. (some stuff is lost in type – that last bit is really good in person with a little body language and a mock teary-eyed “If I leee-eave here tomorrow” thrown in, but in text it’s not so I’ll just stop there)

At any rate, if you asked me today who I want to be when I grow up – it’s certainly Otis B. Driftwood. He’s just so damn cool it’s ridiculous. Kudos to Bill Moseley.

Too many great little moments to list individually (but if you do watch it and don’t at least chuckle a few times, then you know you don’t share my sense of humor), but any movie that also features Brian Posehn (metal nerd/comedian), Diamond Dallas Page (former pro-wrestler who was cool because he was so pathetically uncool) and Priscilla Barnes (Terri from Three’s Company) has to be worthy of such honor.

At the very least catch the scene where Otis takes Adam and Roy out to dig up the guns. It’s where the line I used for the title of this post comes from and when it’s followed by the bashing in of Roy’s skull – it’s badass stuff.
