With cheese please

I woke up this mornnig and was getting ready for work and was flippin channels to see what I could kill time with and..there it was, in all of its gooey, cheese glory: Street Fighter: The Movie. Not the re-vamp from a few yrs ago, I am talkin about the JVCD and Raul Julia cinema masterpiece from 1994. This was so cheesy I was almost late for work I was caught up in it. The costumes, lines, set pieces - everything about it. the movie is so bad in so many ways but this is what makes it a classic. Its a fast food movie, not good by any means but so enjoyable.

What happened to all the cheesy movies. I mean there are a few here and there now, but nothing like the 80's to mid 90's. The films coming out now either suck, are decent, cult classic or just popcorn cinema. The popcorn cinema of today is not cheesy but crappy - Transformers 2 was a crappy popcorn flick, but Masters of the Univers, that was a great movie and had all the cheddar on film Eternia could handle.
