So, I’ve been on this kick lately, right? Just diving deep into old-school movies, the kind with terrible fashion and even worse haircuts. Anyways, I wanted to find some cheesy, classic ’80s ski movies. You know, the ones where everyone’s in neon and the skiing looks, shall we say, less than professional.
I started by just throwing “skiing movies 80s” into Google. I know, real original, huh? The top results were pretty useless. It was like a lot of these big sites trying to sound smart, going on about “trailblazing glory” and “contemporary classics.” Blah, blah, blah. I didn’t want all that fancy stuff. I wanted the schlock!
Digging for Gold
I kept scrolling, clicking through some random articles that people put together. They mentioned a few titles, but it was all so vague. Nothing really grabbed me. I wanted to see some ridiculous, over-the-top action! The sort of thing where people pull off the most ridiculous tricks at epic resorts.
Then, I hit the jackpot. Buried deep in one of these articles, I found this little gem: “Hot Dog… The Movie.” 1984. The title alone was perfect. I looked it up, and yeah, it was exactly what I was looking for. The trailer was amazing – terrible acting, crazy outfits, and skiing that looked like it was performed by a bunch of drunk clowns. This movie was about something about the invention of the wide powder ski.
The Result
- Watched “Hot Dog… The Movie” at least three times now. It’s so bad, it’s good.
- Made a list of other cheesy ’80s ski movies to watch. There are a few I found that look promising.
- Started thinking about throwing an ’80s ski movie party. Everyone has to dress up in the worst ’80s ski gear they can find.
Honestly, this whole thing has been way more fun than I expected. It’s like stepping back in time to a simpler, sillier era. And hey, who doesn’t love a good laugh at some truly awful movies?
