Goldfinger

The Loved Ones (take your pick of bands, I'll assume they're all named after the mid-sixties Tony Richardson/Terry Southern adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One, which starred too many light heavyweights to recount)

Valerie Perrine was naked in it, but back then it was more rare for her to be clothed in a movie.

The film versions of Breakfast of Champions and Slapstick have no defenders whatsoever, as far as I know. Watching Slapstick was so depressing I briefly considered joining Joy Division after seeing it, and I love the book Breakfast of Champions too much to ever subject myself to the movie.

That's from "Cat's Cradle" which hasn't been made into a movie. Not yet, at least.

That would be a rich strain, especially with the movies from the 90s and 'aughts. Some enterprising young acts should take Megaguirus, Destoroyah, Biollante, Hedorah, King Ghidorah or Megalodon. Or maybe War of the Gargantuas. Or maybe Gyaos or Irys from the 90s Gamera series.
