13. THE GOLD RUSH (1925)
When it’s good, it’s so very good. When it’s not, it’s usually because there’s some stupid romance thing going on. I don’t care, Charlie. Just give me the Little Tramp dealing with the outrageous situations he finds himself in and I’m good. Like his starving roommate trying to kill and eat him for dinner because he thinks he’s a chicken. Classic.
Verdict: Funny is timeless. And a lot of the time, Gold Rush is very funny.
14. PUMAMAN (1980)
One of the greatest of all MST3K outings. There are so many reasons that it soars, but one reason is its immortal flying scenes, the true horribleness of which has yet to be matched. I have linked to the MST3K version of the film, which is just flat-out brilliantly funny.
Verdict: The MST3K version is an inductee in Laurie’s Cinematic Hall of Fame.
15. METEOR (1979)
Mediocre. And dull. But it’s got a great cast, all keeping it professional so it’s got that going for it.
Verdict: A solid meh.
