Road House (1989, available March 1)

In 1989’s , Patrick Swayze plays professional New York bouncer James Dalton, who gets recruited to take over security at a Missouri roadside bar named the Double Deuce. The Rowdy Herrington-directed action film also stars Ben Gazzara, Kelly Lynch, and Sam Elliott. Although most critics panned it, some consider Road House one of those so-bad-it’s-good movies, like Showgirls or Mommie Dearest, when viewed from an ironic perspective. Although it earned an impressive-for-the-time $61 million at the worldwide box office against a $15 million budget, Road House really cleaned up on home video and streaming sales, reportedly earning more than $203 million.
