Ishtar. It gets better with time.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I have to qualify myself here as possibly being the only person on the planet who liked this 1987 (or '89?) film. Routinely slammed as one of worst of all time, it was on a cable channel last night, looking very opulent. Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman are CIA spy types in the mythical Islamic kingdom of Ishtar.

There are some funny periods, but I enjoyed the colorful settings most. You might like to revisit this bomb to update any opinion you had of it. I doubt I can influence anyone in that regard, but for free, it's worth it. Especially if you like camels.
