A celebration of the reliable 3-star movies we love, GOOD ENOUGH MOVIES looks back on the not-quite-classics you can still quote by heart and will always stop to watch whenever they're on. Maybe it's a nostalgic fave you haven't seen in years, maybe it's a movie you would've loved but never heard about - until now. They're far from perfect, they're hardly ubiquitous, but they're still G.E.M.s

THIS INSTALLMENT: W.D. Richter's ready-made 1980s cult-classic features Peter Weller as a neurosurgeon/physicist/crimefighter/racecar-driver/rock-star who leads his eclectic team of fellow omnicompetent multitasking heroes against an invasion from innerspace with a continuity so densely-detailed it's hard to believe none of it actually "came from" anywhere. But where does BUCKAROO BANZAI fit in a world where the convoluted storytelling it was created to satirize has become the new normal?
