Top 5 Best “Cheesy” Sci-Fi Fantasy Movies

Something interesting happened to me the other day.  I recently signed up for NetFlix, and decided I wanted to request a movie I hadn’t seen in years.  While perusing the selection under Science Fiction, I came across the perfect choice!!

The movie KRULL.

I could not wait to receive this movie and have a chance to relive the awe and wonder I experienced as a child when I last saw this film, now with my adult eyes.  The day the movie arrived in the mail, I repeatedly berated my wife for never having seen it and bombarded her with constant praise and hype for KRULL, using such phrases as "this is a CLASSIC!"; "this is the HOTNESS!" and so on. (my wife claims I am the most annoying man on the planet, but that’s another story).

So we get comfortable to watch the movie, I pop in the DVD, press play and the "HOTNESS" begins…

After about 5 minutes of the movie, all I can think is "WHAT THE F—!!!!!!!!!! This movie is horrible!! "Is this the right movie?  Was there possibly another KRULL movie made?  Am I crazy?  Did I slip into another dimension?!!!!

Unfortunately, this was the movie I "remember", and yes my wife is going into the kitchen to grab a knife and stab me (just kidding).   Not only was the story "cheesy", the acting was horrible, the special effects were laughable, it was just bad on so many levels.  But it was entertaining in some weird, twisted way.

As traumatized as I was by this experience, I decided to create my Top 5 Best "Cheesy" Sci-Fi Fantasy Movies as listed below:

KRULL

THE NEVERENDING STORY

THE LAST STARFIGHTER

THE BEASTMASTER

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

I’m sure there are other movies that could have made this list, feel free to mention them in the comments.
