Purple Rain vs. Showgirls

So both of those movies were on cable the last couple of weeks, and they're both terrible, but which is worse?
I really didn't understand the plot in either, seemed like both just vehicles to sell songs or sex.

Purple Rain.
It might not be an Oscar winning movie but it's tolerable.
Showgirls was just terrible. I only saw it once and that was because I was the projectionist at the theatre here in town when it came out.

I saw showgirls in the theater. I just wanted to see Jesse naked.

Same here. After that, the movie just got really, really strange.

Damn. It was so bad you quit your job?

Purple Rain is an average, very bad movie. I love the scene when Prince tries to save his mom from his dad, his dad hits him, and Prince makes the most hilarious, girly squeal on the way to the floor. Showgirls is epically, awesomely, embarrassingly bad...it's a drinking game, punchline bad. One of the few movies, I feel personally awkward watching for the actors involved. I love it.

The entire cinema closed, it was that bad!
The cinema closed because a larger one of the same company opened in town and I ended up moving to Florida.

That's the exact part I was thinking of when I saw this thread.

True, but I liked the musical performances. And Morris Day is

Absolutely. Between this and Basic Instinct, Joe Eszterhas solidified his place in the Pantheon . . .of something. I love when Elizabeth Berkley gets excited about buying "vur-sace".

I love Purple Rain, so I guess I am the outlier.
As far as a pop/rock musical, I like it better than Tommy and many others.

Ever see the sequel to Purple Rain? It's called Graffiti Bridge. Whoa.

Prince was in another movie called "Under the Cherry Moon." Never saw it.
Was Sign O' the Times a movie or just a song? Good song.

Showgirls has Gina Gershon so it can't be all bad.

How can Showgirls be all bad, it has the funniest sex scene in movie history? Kyle-Berkely in the pool, sex and epilepsy, never before on the silver screen.

I can't wait to see Tidehater's post addressing this!

The dry hump scene in the strip club is just laughable
