Is this the greatest movie ever made ... some say yes ....
Message:Citizen Cane? Yea, yea, Rosebud ... longing for something ... have you seen the thing?
It's a Wonderful Life ... yea ... it's a keeper but ... bestest?
Casablanca ... Well ... we'll always have Paris. Damn, a fine piece of work.
Star Wars ... maybe ... then they made the sequel and you can't scrape that crap off your shoes.
The BeastMaster? Well ... that goes beyond question.
Fun BeastMaster Fact: The black panther was actually played by a tiger which they dyed black, since tigers are easier to handle for filming. During production the tiger wasn't allowed to be on set at the same time as children or other animals, since it might eat them.
They dyed the panther and still ... no desert ... it just keeps getting better.
The Seventh Seal? -- If they wanted that to be the best, wouldn't they have filmed it in color? Come on people.
Shawshank -- who has time for it.
No, I propose to you ...
Mannequin!!!!!!

First, it has a Q in the title ... that's no trivial feet. It's great fun and hi-jinks. The song to the movie is ... like the movie ... both terrible and great.
The great G. W. Baily plays the comical and buffoonish PO-leese.
Always under appreciated James Spader plays it over the top. Brooding and silly. (Kind of like The BeastMaster.)
Andrew McCarthy, the poor man's Michael J. Fox only with talent, and turned out to not be a selfish cry baby weak sauce ... (sorry man, call it like I see it).
Menshach Taylor as Hollywood Montrose ... a cross dresser at a time when we understood the difference between comic foppery and mental illness.
Let's not try to figure out what would happen to Ema if as a Mannequin she was crushed and then returned to flesh ... it would not be pretty.
A tale of obsession, art, and a dude with a motorcycle just trying to get by in this crazy world.
What more could you want? (I mean other than what BeastMaster provides.)

Unfortunately, like the aforementioned Star Wars, they made a pretty bad sequel ... not 15 like they did for Star Wars (looking at you Hollywierd ... really .. how hard is a it to do light sabers and dudes running around on exotic planets with a jillion bucks?).
Jeer if you must. Buy something to put on your coffee table to show you are sophisticated but pop good old plastic doll becomes an impossible woman tale when you don't have to pretend.
Now ... where's my dice.
