One of my favorite guilty pleasure films of all time, which I watch frequently, is Basket Case, the story of unrequited love and revenge. A boy is born with a deformed Siamese twin on his side. His father, angered over the loss of his wife during childbirth, convinces two docs and a vet to remove the living deformed thing from his otherwise normal son. Both survive, and Belial, the mutant son who looks like ball of muscle with a face, wishes to take revenge on those who had cast him aside.
All seriousness aside, I love this movie for its panoramic shots of NYC from when I was a boy, and its complete ridiculousness. Enjoy the love interest and her gi-normous wig! Gaze in horror at the hero's pee-pee as he runs through downtown at night! Gasp in horror at the layer of black smog that once served as a heat dome over Manhattan Island! This is a perfect bad movie! Watch it! You must!
