the first one about them being funny crackheads wasn't a classic compared to Half baked.

They were neither big budget (clearly) nor disasters (popular enough for a franchise) so not really covered by this thread.

As for the topic at hand, would The Abyss or Total Recall count as big budgeted disasters?I seem to recall a lot of $ was put into them, but I don't know if they can truly be classified as "disasters".

How much did abyss and total recal cost,just because they made money doesn't mean they did good.

Doesn't it? I think you will find that if a movie MAKES money then it has done just fine...

If a movie 'makes' money it has made profit.
