Show Girls
Yes, everyone agrees that Showgirls is bad but at least it's fascinatingly bad. Just like Boogie Nights, this melodrama elevates the career of a stripper (oh, I'm sorry 'Showgirl', my mistake) to the level of Shakespearean tradgedy. Just like its subject matter - those awful Vegas Shows which are essentially topless musical theatre with gratuitous dystopian landscapes and cavegirl outfits - this film is at pains to appear higher class than it is. Paul Verhooven is a highly underrated director, and this debacle is not really his fault, it's the basic premise that a censor baiting, straight to Cinemax soft core porn flick could be critically respected which is flawed. The sex scene with Kyle MacLachlan in the pool is hysterical and worth a youtube search, though I won't lower the bar by embedding it here.
