Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Everyone has them! You hang out with your friends and watch something so completely awful, that it's funny. You crack jokes about them and revel in their terribleness. They're the kind of movies whose perfect failure is almost as improbable as Citizen Kane's complete success.

My friends have watched these movies together more than any else because of how bad they are:

Bio-dome (1996). Even for a stoner film, it's a complete failure, with a bland bland bland plot line, and not a single deserved laugh, this is a complete treat to watch, I picked a special clip from it to show its atrocities:

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). Christmas lends itself to many a bad film (watch anything on Lifetime in winter), but none are more awful or ludicrous as this. It's a complete treasure.

I love any movie involving a killer shark or croc/alligator. Some of them are quite good like Jaws, Rogue or Black Water, but I love the bads ones as well. Two of my favorite really horrible ones are Crocodile 2: Death Swamp and Malibu Shark Attack.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

There's other threads like this, but ok, I love this topic...

How about:

The Wicker Man with Nic Cage...My GOD this film is so insanely awful, but it almost succeeds by it's utter insanity. I mean the Bear costume..."Not the Bees!!" I flat out can't get enough of this film.

Batman and Robin...This one nearly killed the whole Batman franchise, it's campy, it's ridiculous, it's pretty poorly cast, and yet I like it way more than The Dark Knight Rises. I want whoever makes the next Batman film to cut out the morose crap, and while not going to the extreme of Arnold shouting ice puns, make Batman FUN to watch again. I have watched Batman and Robin far too many times, but it's like a hidden gem in bad cinema.

Another one : Excess Baggage It's pretty bad, but Benicio del Toro unwittingly kidnapping Alicia Silverstone is a lot of fun.

Resident Evil Apocalypse

Nicolas Cage f*ck yeah! :)

Every time this topic comes up:

Showgirls

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Plan 9 From Outer Space
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Birth of a Nation - Racist as hell, but still a great movie.
Conan the Barbarian

Since when is Who Framed Roger Rabbit a bad movie?

I don't think it's a bad movie, but this one did scar me for life as a child!

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I win

I loved it when I was a child. I didn't understand it, but I loved it.
Now I love it on a whole other level.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I don't really have a favourite bad film, but I really enjoyed 88 Minutes when I watched it for the first time. But that was more than three years ago and I used to enjoy watching rubbish movies back then.

I also liked watching Rob Schneider films such as The Benchwarmers, or Deuce Bigalow, or The Animal.

Not at all! That movie is a lot of fun!

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Worst movie I have ever seen is "Rock N Roll High School Forever" with Corey Feldman. I wouldn't be able to make a worse movie even if I tried. If you wanna get stoned and laugh at terrible movies, I recommend that.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

In-terms of movies that I am fully aware are technically bad but I find myself enjoying them, I almost want to nominate the horror-genre as a whole, kidding, but let's be honest, it's a hefty majority.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I can't stand the horror genre because on that. If the entire point of horror movies are to laugh at how bad they are, then it really doesn't take much talent to be a horror movie director. If its terrible people just say "Oh its supposed to be terrible! Its horror!". Why not actually try to scare the viewer?

One comedy i can tell is terrible but i still thoroughly enjoy is Blue Streak with Martin Lawrence.

That's why it's my favorite!

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Oh c'mon,I don't think it's that bad to be in this thread. :D I like the film,too.

Van Damme's early stuff, Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Double impact.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Flash Gordon, everytime i watch it i think,
"Why do so many people like this movie so much??",

then i think "Why do i like this movie so much??"

Really can't explain.
Oh, and those Doug Mcclure sci-fi B Movies.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

If it 'stars' Martin Lawerence, and it isn't the first Bad Boys film, then it's bad enough to be in this thread.

Iron Sky. An incredibly low-budget movie, and so bad that it is hilarious. One of the best spoofs I've seen in a long time, and it shows how the rest of the world views the U.S. I loved it.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Haven't watched it since child hood, but I always got a laugh out of Flubber
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...px-Flubber.jpg
There's tons of others one to mention, but I never talked about this one on the site.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Haha, yeah, Flubber's a good bad one. My friends and I just had some good fun making fun of Starship Troopers. It's difficult to make a sci-fi movie that doesn't age so quickly.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Starship Troopers is completely brilliant.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Flash Gordon is awesome. It completely transcends the labels of 'good' or 'bad' with its awesomeness.

My choice is Striptease. Terrible, terrible film, but completely hilarious and more entertaining than a lot of supposedly good films. The Wicker Man is also horrible, but Nicolas Cage's insane performance takes it to another level. Love that film and love the Cage.

And a thread like this wouldn't be complete without some bad action movies, so how about On Deadly Ground and Double Impact? So bad they're amazingly enjoyable.

I love this description! It reminds me of The Architect's "explanation" of the Matrix in The Matrix Reloaded but bluedeed, yours made more sense. :)

It's hard for me to put down any movie in a malicious way, so this thread is fun, given some of y'all's reasons for considering them bad/enjoying them, which I totally believe you can do.

I gotta agree with Monkeypunch, I love Good Burger. One of those light, fluffy films that you can have on in the background while you do other stuff and still stop and laugh at certain parts.

It's hard for me to pick a movie as "bad" if I consider it watchable. But, okay, I will. I think Star Trek V:The Final Frontier is a bad movie, but I can still watch it over and over...I think Shatner was really trying to make a good movie but his ego was bigger than the budget. :p

Yes, but what would God need with a starship? :D

I love this movie as well.

Not only is Starship Troopers a fantastic film, but it has hardly aged at all. The special effects are spectacular.

It's also damn funny on its own, seeing as how it's actually a satire of the original novel, as well as militarism in general. The homage to "Triumph of the Will" at the beginning is particularly brilliant in this respect.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

It pokes some fun, but I think it preserves some of the respect heinlein has for militarism. In Heinleins novel and film, there is definitely a respect for a strict organization based on meritocracy and virtue of self sacrifice. High intelligence students become navigators/pilots, "dumb" jocks become infantry meat. It remains a great movie. I think it's subtleties are missed because of it's rushed pace of turning a novel in to a film. see also: the watchmen.

memorable quotes

Johnny Rico:

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I'm with Tarantinon Foxy Brown. some consider it a typical trashy blaxploitation film, but I loved it.

Foxy Brown is a great film. One of the HK 100.

I don't think Starship Troopers is respecting the military. It's ridiculing fascism and the US's drift into neo-fascism and the fetishizing of the military.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

It might be making a comment on the U.S. but it was set in South America.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Troll 2

It does far more than just poke some fun, the movie is filled with jabs at Heinlein's "utopia." The writers themselves even admit they hated the themes of the novel and so they completely changed the tone.There's hardly any "subtlety" to Heinlein's novel. Hell, his version of the characters are even more one-dimensional than in the film, and at least in the movie it's intentional. Furthermore, what you perceive in the film as being "respect for a strict organization based on meritocracy and virtue of self sacrifice" is just the opposite.

I suggest you re-watch it.. Just listen to the audio commentary, it might enlighten you as to what they were actually going for. The director even talks about how he couldn't even finish the book because he thought Heinlein's ideas were so reprehensible that it actually made him depressed.

Some people have even called the film "All Quiet on the Final Frontier," heh.

I have to say The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Yes, it has been my favorite for almost a 10 years and I don't even know why. I even know all the songs and lyrics! And my favorite actor, Tim Curry, did the role so good and was fabulous. I never get tired to watch it. It's the silliest movie ever.


Also Army of Darkness. I just laughed my ass off. What is wrong with that movie?


But if I had to choose one of the baddest movie I have ever seen, it would be this.
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl
I'm so disappointed to myself for spending 93 min of my life on this.

Listen up you primitive screwhead, Army of Darkness is NOT a bad movie.

Too right! Army of darkness is awesome for all the right reasons,

Deffinitely doesn't belong in the "so bad it's good" category.

Hail to the king, baby!

Not a bad one, but definately not a good one, either. There again, the whole Evil Dead thing is so overrated that it baffles me totally.

Army of Darkness is hilarious and brilliant, it's like Looney Tunes on acid. Also, Sam Raimi just has such a fresh, exciting directing style, especially back in those days.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Another one from my youth that I liked

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...garoo_jack.jpg

Similar to Flubber I'm don't think it would hold up now.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

My wife runs out of the room if that comes on :D

(M. Night Shyamalan's best film .... just putting that out there)

Is that because you really don't like the rest of his films? I only ask because, with the exception of the acting (which you've got to blame Night for) and the entire third act, I actually liked The Happening.

It's the only M. Night film I actually enjoy watching. I don't think it's a good film, far from it. But I get immense enjoyment out of its 'badness' and I can give something like that far more time than the other crap he's done that might be, from a film making perspective, better.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Army of darkness was very tounge in cheek, the director and stars knew exactly what they were doing and how they were playing it.
It takes a lot of nerve to make a film like that and to get it right.They succeeded.
A movie like that can't be classed as bad.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

The Beach - bad plot, 50% bad acting, 50% good acting

The Roommate.
That movie is just so much fun to laugh at...

Also, Zombie Strippers.
Yes...that's a real thing.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

For me it's Barb Wire. It's so bad that it's good. I watch it very rarely but when I do I thoroughly enjoy it.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

The Twilight series.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Cry Baby

I actually have quite a few favorite bad movies. So I will keep it short

DEATH TO MING!

and also

Which is really bad, but so very good!

How can you not love the cheesiness of this?

"He's ready to blow your mind"......smoke bomb

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmdP1qTjGZY

Haha yes Donnie! My younger sister had this the other day on one of the ITV channels other here, pretty bad/silly, but I couldn't help but kind of love it :p

Anyway...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S9Ew3TIeVQ

That clip is particularly brilliant, makes me laugh how a film can be made so bad without someone realising how awful it it, every scene is beyond terrible.

okay let's see..

but don't get me wrong.I like them not because they're bad.I like them because I think they're funny or entertaining. ;)

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Maybe it's not a movie, but the only thing that comes to mind is the walking dead. The show is terrible and I have to fast forward through a lot of crap but I still enjoy watching it for some reason.

The comic is 10 times better IMO

Why do you have to remind me of this movie?!?!?!?

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART DANIEL M! lol

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Haha most of the movies I watch most people would class as bad movies

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

The Goonies! Classic cheese.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Oh and just about any movie with Dolph Lundgren. Something about him just makes a movie fun.

I definitely have a list of favorite movies that are considered universally bad, but I still never get tired of watching them...my list includes:


VALLEY OF THE DOLLS

IMITATION OF LIFE (1959)

AIRPORT 75

DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?

ROAD TRIP

MOMMIE DEAREST

THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE

FUNNY LADY

WHO'S YOUR CADDY?

DR T AND THE WOMEN

WHAT A WAY TO GO!

MIDNIGHT LACE (1960)

CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG

INSIDE DAISY CLOVER

Red Scorpion: One of those films that are always on late on Saturday night when I stumble In drunk with a Kebab. Dolph Lundgren running around in camo hot pants and an M60 Machine Gun in hand, killing hundreds of African rebels, seems like Oscar winning material when I'm drunk.:)

...really? Everywhere I look it's praised and loved. I've had it recommended from time to time.

As for me, I'm actually very fond of this newfound masterpiece:

http://wpc.556e.edgecastcdn.net/8055...NnmQyD_3_m.jpg

Anybody who says "The Room" isn't the best worst movie of all time hasn't seen The Room.

My favorite bad movie is porn, all of them!

Attack of the Clones!!!

...

i'm not even going to try and explain myself here. for no discernible reason, i enjoy re-watching this pure and utter shitfest.
guys, is prison too good for me?

I prefer Troll 2

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Battlefield Earth is probably my favorite awful movie. The Grinch with Jim Carrey is also hilariously bad.

Maybe we can let you off with a stern warning this time. :)

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Welcome to the jungle
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

My guiltiest of guilty pleasures

Rock of Ages

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

One day Cage will write a book on his acting style, nouveau shamanic, and the world will change forever.

Vampire's Kiss (also Cage) is a masterpiece of insanity. He thinks he's a vampire, but he isn't, and gets turned on by a bat.

Another great one is Bad Taste. I think it's Peter Jackson's first movie. Aliens are harvesting people from New Zealand for their fast food chain. Looks like the budget was about a fiver. 'I'm a Derek, and Derek;s don't run!'

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I agree with 'Fascist Hag' (there's a phrase I never thought I'd say)...Tommy Wiseau's 'The Room' has it all: worst acting, worst script, worst editing, worst music, worst directing, worst plot (although one might argue this movie doesn't have a plot...hell, one might also argue this is just images captured on celluloid, rather than a movie)...
Whenever I feel down, I sometimes watch a random clip from 'The Room' to remind myself that my own screwups aren't nearly as bad as this movie. God bless Tommy Wiseau...

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Godzilla the Matthew Broderick version. Contrived impossible situations, but fun to watch.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I really need to see The Room. I've watched several clips of it on YouTube, some of them more than once. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

I believe the room can be found in its entirety on youtube...I recommend you see it. You'll probably need to see a doctor afterward, perhaps even be hospitalized, but it'll make you appreciated each and every bad movie out there. Seriously, Batman and Robin is Shakespeare compared to the Room;)

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

The worst movie I've ever seen is Zebraman. Like BlueLion, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Epic, Hulk looks like Einstein in front of him. And the most fantastic is that they have made a Zebraman 2... Enjoy!

More of a combo of laughing, groaning, and taking Advil for a gigantic headache for me.

Shocked to find mention of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? on this list...the film is brilliant...it won 4 Academy Awards, it has no business on this thread.

I liked BLUE STREAK...one of Lawrence's funnier efforts, it doesn't belong on this thread. There's a difference between bad movies and unsuccessful movies.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

A favorite bad movie?!? The Town, for me, comes to mind, because, imho, it's one of these movies that's so bad that it's good. On the one hand, The Town is a hyped-up, cartoon-like piece of junk that's more like a feature-length, made-for-TV soap opera than a regular movie, and, on the other hand, The Town has provoked many lively discussions, if one gets the drift.

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

Batman and Robin (i'm Batman fan) and last Resident Evil that was just bad!

Re: Your Favorite Bad Movies
 

the Room, Army of Darkness and Sharknado are the three "best" ones that come to mind.

Gee, there's a surprise.

Army of Darkness is NOT a bad movie!

Evil Dead II struck a great balance between comedy and horror, but I felt that that Army of Darkness, went really overboard, especially with the evil Ash and Bruce Campbell's performance. I do want to watch it again, though, now that I've finally seen II.
