Strangely, I spent part of yesterday on a movie I wanted to avoid at all costs when I was younger: "Boxing Helena," made by la fille d' M. Lynch...did not know that I would be doing that. In college, I recall my roommate getting an invitation to a party which celebrated the cheesiness of the movie "Showgirls"...I would not be entirely surprised if the same has ever been done for "Boxing Helena..."
On a "Room With A View"-ish note, it has the dashing Julian Sands and includes the wonderful O Mio Babbino Caro.
The clip at the end of this article makes me wish I could understand Italian.

All but the woman-roaring-as-a-lion part.
