Showgirls
Fresh to Las Vegas with no connections, Nomi Malone takes a job as an exotic dancer. Her talents are quickly noticed by Cristal, a headlining dancer who senses an opportunity to bolster her own act. But Nomi won’t play second fiddle and soon begins her venomous path to the top, ruthlessly backstabbing anyone who gets in her way. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →This movie also came out in 1995 further solidifying my belief that 1995 was the best year for movies ever. This is such a movie movie. It's not a film it's a movie and it rules. Toy Story, Seven, Heat, Goldeneye, Usual Suspects, Clueless, Crimson Tide, Showgirls, To Die For! So many movies. MOVIES!
unlabelledView post →I watched Showgirls for the first time last night and up until the last 30 minutes or so you could have easily convinced me it was considered the best movie of all time instead of the worst movie of all time
unlabelledView post →Paul Verhoeven is 87. In 1995, he turned up uninvited at The Razzies as he knew they were going to ‘honour’ Showgirls. He surprised the audience by walking up seven times to collect awards including Worst Director, Worst Movie, Worst Music & Worst Acting. King.

He surprised the audience by walking up 7 times to collect awards including Worst Director, Worst Movie, Worst Music & Worst Acting. King.
unlabelledView post →There's nothing wrong with Elizabeth Berkley's performance in Showgirls, it's just a performance from a different movie altogether. She was VERY young and deserves the world to make up for how she was treated after that film was released. Give Berkley her flowers!

unlabelledView post →Watch the film Showgirls, one shot per day. (Curated by my friend, who was, until now, sending them to me on Whatsapp).
unlabelledView post →Is SHOWGIRLS the only movie in existence to feature both David Bowie and Prince songs on the soundtrack? That's another point in its favor.
unlabelledView post →Believe it or not, until today, I had never seen the original RoboCop (1987).. Believe it or not, until today, I had never seen the original RoboCop (1987). Neither had I seen the sequels or even the reboot made in 2014. The closest I ever came to experiencing RoboCop was the TV show made during the nineties. I don't think anybody remembers that TV show, but I saw it because it was something to watch. Back then, my family didn't have cable—we saw everything over the air. There were only…

unlabelledView post →ok I watched Showgirls for the first time and it's absolutely insane how dirty everyone did this movie. absolutely bonkers how much disdain there is for it. it's not even camp! it's a straightforwardly good movie, it's just that people have no empathy or generosity for women and women's stories
unlabelledView post →My “friend” just said that SHOWGIRLS and BURLESQUE are “basically the same movie”
unlabelledView post →I will argue til the end that "Showgirls" is both a good movie and was ahead of its time. It is in line with Verhoeven's satirical view of America. Audiences just weren't ready to see him tackle the pursuit of fame, the weaponization of sex, and the exploitation of women in our culture.
unlabelledView post →Paul Verhoeven was a hero for attending the Razzies to collect all his awards for Showgirls and to force them to try and be snide to his face. Kill em with kindness I say and also Showgirls is a good movie not a bad one
unlabelledView post →This is the third comment this guy has made on my Showgirls review insisting that the rape scene is pivotal to the movie. Even if that's true... come on man

This is huge! I can once again enjoy this site without my eyes bleeding from random bad movie reviews! :)

unlabelledView post →SHOWGIRLS (Paul Verhoeven, 1995) It's not important whether a film be good or bad. What's important is whether or not it's fascinating. I'm writing a full essay on this one next week.

unlabelledView post →Another was opening night of Showgirls, about 5 minutes in, when we all realized… what the movie was going to be. And it quickly became the most raucous and hysterical interactive crowd experience I’ve ever been part of.
unlabelledView post →I remember once seeing John Waters say Forest Gump is a far worse movie than Showgirls, because Forest Gump doesn't know it's bad.
unlabelledView post →When Showgirls (1995) was released, everyone completely missed the point of the film. It wasn't merely just a trashy exploitation picture; it was a satire showing how fake and cutthroat the whole success and fame game is.

unlabelledView post →Tank Girl and Showgirls and Grindhouse, but I'm not sure how much those are actually hated anymore. So you know what? Cats. (the movie) I don't think it's good, but it's bad in the overambitious chaos way, not in the boring safe way. It's not a flop, it's a proper fiasco. release the butthole cut

I zoned out while Jennifer Tilly was talking (I knew the focus of my article would be Gershon surviving SHOWGIRLS) and suddenly noticed it was quiet. Tilly noticed I wasn’t paying attention and was smiling as she noted it before continuing her story.
unlabelledView post →yes, that means Showgirls and Basic Instinct. Deep cuts like Spetters and Soldier of Orange. Even the weird lesbian nun movie that came out four years ago
unlabelledView post →Calmly closes laptop & begins devoting life to funding & producing a film that has exactly the same plot as Showgirls except Nomi is an English major working at Powells. Same level of sex & nudity, but replacing the rape scene with that character being rejected from her Ph.D program.
