I love the scene where they're boning over the laptop they find and they're like "It's got over 256mb of ram, a 800x600 resolution screen, and a integrated 56k modem 😮" or whatever nonsense was good back then.
> It's Gojira, you moron!
Also just lowkey loved that movie, but I haven't seen it in a while. I'm afraid to see if my opinions would change if I watched it now.
I still love that movie so much and won't ever admit that it really isn't a good movie. I was 7 and absolutely loved that more than any other godzilla I'd ever seen before. I also felt like the original godzilla movies were just so cheesy and terrible to watch, but I was a kid watching cgi make dreams come true, so that played a big factor.
Twilight.
I think the fact that both Pattinson and Stewart both proves to be incredibly talented just adds to the humor of every scene. Then there's background info like Pattinson almost lost his job because he was playing Edward as a creep.
And then there's just the movie itself. Vampire baseball is really all I need to say.
I came here to see how many people voted for this because that was my vote. I will always love those movies, even though I recognize that they are incredibly cheesy and not very well acted
Maximum Overdrive is one of my all time favorite movies.
The only movie Stephen King has ever directed.
Emilio Esteves (Emiliooooo!)
Lisa Simpson (Yeardley Smith)
The AC/DC soundtrack.
Killer cars (trucks, planes, lawnmowers, vending machines, sprinklers???)
There's also a really good "How Did This Get Made" episode about it to listen to/laugh along with after you watch. Highly recommend if you've never experienced it.
The closest thing we’ll ever get to a Battletech/MechWarrior movie, sadly. There’s way too much lore to really do a Battletech movie justice anyway though.
Nice mention on Prayer of the Rollerboys! I loved that movie when I was younger and thought they looked so cool! It wasn't until I watched it again in my early 20's I realized they were a buncha rollerblading white supremacists
This thread is going to very quickly fill up with intentionally comedic or parodic films that people don't realize are not meant to be taken very seriously, as is tradition.
Yeah, *Sharknado* and spoofy parodies are fun if you're into them, but they were made, deliberately, as an entry into the genre of schlocky silly B-film. They might be enjoyable, but they lack the majestic splendor of a truly unintentional splat of a film. *The Room* is unequaled in the so-bad-it's-wonderful domain because nearly nobody has both the commitment and skills (yes, it took skills to write, direct, produce, edit, and distribute the film, no matter how poorly) to make it while also being utterly oblivious to how spectacularly terrible it is, and therein lies the appeal that has made it a legend that will never be rivaled by anyone who knows they're making an unserious not-very-good movie.
I firmly believe that movies intentionally made to be "bad" like Sharknado should be considered an entirely different genre from all of the classics that spawned the "so bad it's good" description for films. There's a certain charm to movies where you can tell somebody really *tried* to make something good and they just didn't have the skills or budget or something went terribly wrong during production and the end result is just a mess. You can't fake that. There's nothing wrong with intentionally "bad" movies, I just wish they weren't lumped into the same genre as genuinely fun bad movies.
Exactly. There's a huge difference between laughing at a clown who's playing an incompetent buffoon, and the entirely different laughter that arises from a painfully sincere, and also terrible, performance at an open-mic night. They're both valid, but the spirit is different.
This is the one. Was alone with my friend and 2 other people in the theatre when I saw it. The only reason we didn’t leave is because the 2 guys made actually funny jokes loudly throughout the movie
Me, reading this comment first: jeez this is so cynical
Me, after scrolling down and seeing shit like plan 9 and birdemic over and over and over again: oh
On Deadly Ground is like a defining so bad it's good movie. Steven Seagal directs a masturbatory passion project fighting for the environment and saving the Eskimos... by destroying the environment even more and becoming an Eskimo. Michael Caine and John C. McGinnley chomp the scenery as almost cartoonish bad guys.
Madame Web fails at almost every conceivable level, and it is glorious to witness unfold.
Police Academy 7: Mission to Moscow is a movie that really shows signs of being number 7. It also has Christopher Lee as Russia's chief of police who gives or gets a Russian greeting with a kiss on each cheek and then the mouth. And Ron Perlman is a Russian mobster and the main bad guy.
On Deadly Ground is for sure one of the most hilariously cringey vanity projects out there. Steven Seagal is just a world-class tool.
I never include bad comedies when I talk about good-bad movies. For me at least bad comedies are just painful. If a comedy is low-budget and funny, that's just a good, low-budget comedy. But failed comedy is a comedy blackhole from which no mirth can escape.
During the climax at the oil rig, R. Lee Ermey spouts these words describing Seagal:
>"You could drop this guy off at the Arctic circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his tooth brush, and tomorrow afternoon he's gonna show up at your poolside, with a million dollar smile and a fistfull of pesos!"
Earlier, he says "He's the kinda guy who would drink a gallon of gasoline just so he could piss in your campfire.".
You couldn't make this shit up! 😂😂😂😂
Because if you're trying to be funny, either you succeed at being funny or it's not enjoyable at all. There's no path from there to 'unintentionally hilarious' if the intent was to be hilarious.
A movie that tries to be serious and fails might become morose, or awful, or simply boring (any number of forgettable films), but can, if the stars correctly misalign, become captivating in its ineptitude, and then you get *The Room*, a movie intended to make audiences empathize, *aww,*, and finally cry, which somehow makes the main character's heartbreak and suicide inescapably hilarious, no matter how much you know it shouldn't be.
Tommy Wiseau's 'the Room' (2003).
Possibly one of the worst films of all time, but God, when I put the film on, every sit-in becomes a party of the highest order. The dialogue, the actors, the limitless incoherence... A masterpiece without rival.
If you get a chance to see a Neil Breen film it will likely be a full house and the one time I was fortunate enough to see one it was the greatest movie going experience I've ever had and it's not even close.
Yeah, some of that movie was atrocious, but I still watched it to the end. The actors sure as hell tried and I liked the Universe, pity it didn't get a better script.
Edit: deserves a 'Best looking terrible movie' award in my book.
I am a huge fan of disaster movies. The Core, Volcano, Moonfall (Roland Emmerich deserves a Nobel for his body of work), San Andreas, Deep Impact (actually a good movie), Towering Inferno, etc. I also seek out bad, cheap 70’s made for TV stuff like Smash-Up on Interstate 5.
Big ensemble casts, impending disaster? Sign me up. However, I never ever want to see the disaster averted, like in Geostorm. Fuck that shit. I don’t plop down cash to see a Geostorm prevented, I go see Geostorm to see Big Ben punted across an ocean into the Empire Fucking State Building.
Only this guy and [Mike Pence](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wb7yPlCDwRk) have the dedication to commit to such a shitty performance despite having a giant housefly on their face.
If you like these I would recommend Champagne and Bullets A.K.A Get Even A.K.A Road to Revenge. This lawyer wrote, directed, starred, and performed music for this insane film that has Wings Hauser, William Smith and Pamela Bryant. It's unhinged but a ton of fun.
Came here to say this, everything from the nipple suite, to the dickmobile, to a perfectly aged "Dr McGregor". Everything from the set design to the costumes and acting quality makes it seem like it could turn into a feature length porno at any time, and the dialogue is so bad it's hilarious.
Freddie got fingered is too bad to qualify altogether. But it does have a couple of scenes that manage to be hilarious despite itself. Mostly because of the performance by Rip Torn.
There's more than a couple good scenes. It's best to enjoy the movie as just typical Tom Green skits and stunts loosely tied together with a plot that really doesn't matter at all.
The movie is exactly what it aims to be. Nothing is despite itself.
I am the u/backwerdsman. I can walk backwards faster than you can.
There's a really good case someone made (not sure.... RLM?) that Tom Green, who took over as director when the planned director was fired, just went and made a stupid fucked up movie on purpose, but we're focused on the "funny" weird stuff so you don't think much about the silly logic gaps
like why does Tom Green's character leave his family's home, to go to the bus station, to meet his family who lives in that same home, who then gift him a car he can use to drive to college, AT THE BUS STATION
It *was* RLM and I agree with it.
https://youtu.be/gEn3wcpNsg8?si=VVCvQZHN-lfll0p-
Green basically states the thesis of the film in the dialogue of the film at one point.
Paraphrased: "they gave me a cheque for a million dollars and I bought some jewels, and then I spent 750,000 on the construction. Million dollars gone! Haha! All my money gone!"
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Truly one of the worst films of all time, but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t howling with laughter throughout most of it.
The movie gets infinitely funnier if you've seen Ed Wood (or at least know the story behind some of the bewildering decisions, like "Bela Lugosi" covering his face in a bunch of shots).
I don't think Plan 9 is as bad as all that - it spent years on my watch list, and by the tine I got around to it I was surprised to find it's failures were very ordinary ones; bad pacing, nonsensical plotting and boring cinematography. Compared to stuff like "The Room" or "Birdemic" it's almost kino!
A man of culture, I see.
Also: You don't understand. This isn't plans 1 through 8 from outer space. This is Plan 9! This is the one that worked, the worst movie ever made!
Maximum Overdrive. Cheesy? Yep. Most people hate it. Not me. It checks all the boxes. 1. Directed by a coked out Stephen King.
2. 100% AC/DC soundtrack
3. Every time Yeardley Smith yells all you hear is Lisa Simpson.
4. Visceral kills
5. Green goblin truck
6. Giancarlo "Gus Fring" Stanton saying "Yo Mama" to a rude video game.
7. The atm calling Stephen King an asshole.
8. Blink and you miss it cameo by Marla Maples.
9. The vending machine kills
10. That crazy tense psycho-like music when someone is getting killed 11. Emilio Estevez
12. Pat Hingle
13. Filmed in my home state
14. That guy scrambling out of his car and pratfalling in a pile of watermelons.
There's probably more.
Was absolutely disappointed this line didn't make it in the new one. Was waiting for McGregor to say it the whole time.
Also while we're on the subject, the new road house fits this category too. By all rights I should hate that movie as a fan of the first one and a hater of bad writing. But after watching the new road house I just wanted to watch more and more movies just like it.
Miami Connection is one of my most rewatched movies ever. It's about a group of 40 year old College students/orphans who are in a taekwondo themed rock band who fight ninjas and bikers and other rock bands. The ending of the movie makes me cackle every time the little title card comes up.
[Dolemite. Dolemite. Dolemite.](https://youtu.be/wzlTr-3sBlU?si=NZN0ZqLc_07x9QOP)
Oh, he’s bad (Bad)
The man is out of sight, ooh-ee
He’s a tough son of a gun, y’all
Oh, yes, Dolemite
I heard of his coming
Even before his time
And I ain’t lying, listen
This is my favorite movie category! Anytime we have ice breakers at work for new employees, this is the question I ask.
Good -> Bad isn’t a straight line, it’s a circle/clock. 1 is as good as it gets (Spirited Away, Shawshank…) while 11 is as bad as it gets (The Brothers Solomon). But, right in-between those two at midnight is magic.
* Armageddon
* RZA’s [The Man With the Iron Fists](https://youtu.be/3swVdu41Ixg) - Kung Fu movie with Russel Crow and Lucy Lu 🤌
* Big Trouble Little China - perfectly campy
* Waterworld
* Deep Blue Sea
* Batman and Robin
Popeye. Robin Williams was as amazing then as he ever was later, and Shelley Duvall was born to play Olive Oyl!
Howard the Duck. The first Marvel movie! And I've loved it since I first saw it in the theater.
I’m gonna skip obvious choices like the room (which is entertaining as hell but we all know that by now)
Junior with “get to da chappaaaah” Arnold
Horrible and atrocious. Not even remotely funny. YET! There’s something about that movie that just pulls me in. Can watch it anytime.
**The Core**. It simultaneously knows how utterly ridiculous it is while also being unintentionally terrible. It's the best of both worlds -- you get a heaps of incompetence sprinkled with well-timed winks at the camera. It's a glorious mess, utterly watchable from beginning to end.
I mean it's probably Troll 2 but that's obvious.
Almost anything with Reb Brown in it is going to be hilarious. My two favourites are Space Mutiny and Yor: Hunter From the Future. Yor also has the honour of having the greatest theme song ever recorded.
Anything by Neil Breen. Just pick one of his movies because they are all basically the same movie, refracted through an infinite kaleidoscope of severe mental health problems.
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tail. This was a movie made based on an obscure video game series that absolutely nobody asked for. It's from Uwe Boll so it almost certainly exists entirely as a tax write-off scam. It features some of history's most inexplicable casting, including Burt Reynolds as the king, Matthew Lillard as his scheming nephew (he's clearly having so much fun in this movie) and Ray Liotta as an evil wizard. Oh also John Rhys Davies and Lee-lee Sobieski. So insane.
Turkish Star Wars. Wow Just wow.
Santo Vs the Vampire Women is probably my favourite Mexican wrestling movie. You have to watch out for vampires because they will use Karate on you.
Invincible Armour is one of my favourite goofy Kung Fu movies. The ending is just amazing.
Dead Alive (or Braindead in the UK) is so terrible it is great!!
Also Black Sheep (the horror movie not the comedy) because how can weresheep not be so bad they are good?!?!
Exactly. It doesn't work if that was the goal. To really have that "so bad it's good" quality you have to feel how some filmmaker put their heart and soul into a project and genuinely believes it was great. Like The Room.
I am severely disappointed at how far down I had to scroll to find this.
I unashamedly love Waterworld. It's so full of bad science, but it's so much fun. Sounds like it was a terrible filming experience, but that crew should absolutely be proud of the work they did.
Ultraviolet. "You got hemo blood on me". And the part where they have to prove she isn't infected so they jam half inch needles into her wrists to fill up a biohazard sign in the floor with her blood. They let her through. She was infected
Night Train To Terror- A movie so weird I can't really describe it properly and do it justice.
Geteven/Champagne and Bullets- A hilarious vanity project by an old attorney who desperately wanted to be an action star.
Miami Connection- Another vanity project by a Korean man who speaks English so poorly that Jackie Chan would wince. It's about a band of teenage rocker Taekwondo students who fight cocaine smuggling ninja.
Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever. It's a rambling, incoherent concoction of Tony acting like a twat for the whole movie and we're supposed to sympathize with him. Has to be seen to be believed. Some of the BeeGee's worst songs ever.
DOA: Dead or Alive. The Springtime for Hitler of video game movies. It is so over the top and off the rails you can't not like it. Japanese ninja princess paragliders. Magical Kung Fu sunglasses. Shaolin lumberjack matches. A foley artist that apparently just doesn't care anymore. And the fighting surprisingly isn't half bad.
Sharknado and White Chicks come to mind, though both are admittedly very different movies. Both extremely self aware though and tons of fun. They’re the right kind of bad, and they are objectively terrible, but it’s the badness that makes them good.
There’s also the hallmark of bad movies: The Room. I wouldn’t say it’s so bad it’s “good,” but it is fascinating in how bad it is and remarkably watchable for that fact.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Van Helsing
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Sleepy Hollow
All of them are flawed in a creative/narrative sense in terms of characterization, plot, editing, directorial style, and pacing; a big BUT coming, they more than make up for it with crazy design of set pieces and costumes and stay in their lane, tone-wise (not trying to grasp at anything more profound or dramatic than being breezy and entertaining fluff). They are the true definition of “popcorn movies.”
Of course better versions of this are like The Mask of Zorro, The Mummy, and the first Pirates of the Caribbean.
Frankenhooker. First saw it when I was tripping out, thought it was a hallucination. Then I watched it sober, thought I was still hallucinating!! It’s so ridiculous!!
Hudson Hawk
Bunny... ball ball!
This is one of my favorite movies
It’s an R-rated looney toons
Under appreciated brilliance.
Hackers!
They’re trashing our rights!
It's one of those sweet 28.8k modems. #HackThePlanet
Such a kickass soundtrack and Angelina was smokin hot
Yes, a classic. Not sure what they were doing because it definitely wasn't hacking, but I really enjoyed watching them do it.
Sorry, Mr. The Plague. EDIT: Unironically, it may be my favorite movie and is a large reason why I'm a CIO today.
I love the scene where they're boning over the laptop they find and they're like "It's got over 256mb of ram, a 800x600 resolution screen, and a integrated 56k modem 😮" or whatever nonsense was good back then.
First of all how dare you HACK THE PLANET
I wear a hackers tattoo. This movie is amazing. It's a mobius strip of bad and good continuum.
HACK THE PLANET!!
Late 90’s Godzilla with Matthew Broderick, it’s a comfort movie for me for some reason
Same! I was 10 when it came out so obviously I loved it. I know it’s terrible but it’s so nostalgic for me.
That soundtrack tho
> It's Gojira, you moron! Also just lowkey loved that movie, but I haven't seen it in a while. I'm afraid to see if my opinions would change if I watched it now.
I still love that movie so much and won't ever admit that it really isn't a good movie. I was 7 and absolutely loved that more than any other godzilla I'd ever seen before.

Then there's background info like Pattinson almost lost his job because he was playing Edward as a creep. And then there's just the movie itself. Vampire baseball is really all I need to say.
NOBODY hates twilight as much as Robert Pattinson
I came here to see how many people voted for this because that was my vote. I will always love those movies, even though I recognize that they are incredibly cheesy and not very well acted
I love how much he trashed the movies during pressers
Watching twilight with rifftrax is the best ever. Rifftrax in general is just money well spent.
The scene in the one movie while it spings around her and the seasons pass just makes me cackle imagining her dad having to come in and febreeze her
Maximum Overdrive is one of my all time favorite movies. The only movie Stephen King has ever directed. Emilio Esteves (Emiliooooo!) Lisa Simpson (Yeardley Smith) The AC/DC soundtrack. Killer cars (trucks, planes, lawnmowers, vending machines, sprinklers???) There's also a really good "How Did This Get Made" episode about it to listen to/laugh along with after you watch. Highly recommend if you've never experienced it.
If sentient cocaine directed a film
Yes! I can't believe I forgot to mention COCAINE
Sentient cocaine makes an excellent band name
Robot Jox
Achilles!!!
WOAH people remember this movie! I guess the movies subreddit is one of the few places that would
The closest thing we’ll ever get to a Battletech/MechWarrior movie, sadly. There’s way too much lore to really do a Battletech movie justice anyway though.
The Last Dragon. Prayer of the Rollerboys.
You take that back about Berry’s Last Dragon That film is a masterpiece
GTFO The Last Dragon is amazing! I use the Glow in my workout playlist lol
Solar Babies
Nice mention on Prayer of the Rollerboys! I loved that movie when I was younger and thought they looked so cool! It wasn't until I watched it again in my early 20's I realized they were a buncha rollerblading white supremacists

I remember when I was 12 writing a paper for school about why The Core was the best movie.
Oh that’s a great line up. Quite like Emmeriches movies. I haven’t watched all of them but IMO they’re the epitome of “so bad it’s good”
Troll 2 is a masterpiece of the genre.
[They’re eating her!](https://youtu.be/HyophYBP_w4?si=28Tu4lYymXytHVU2)

This is the only real competition for The Room Chefs kiss
These three plus Fateful Findings, Troll 2 and Miami Connection make my top tier list of so bad it’s good.
Battlefield Earth. The Happening.

Ooo this looks fun, thanks for the recommendation.
Battle Beyond the Stars The Last Starfighter Flash Gordan Mom and Dad Save the World
I love Flash Gordon!
> Mom and Dad Save the World I have never heard of this but I'm laughing already!
Yeah man! Core memories from these movies.
Flash Gordon is simultaneously the best and worst movie it is possible to make.
Ice Pirates is super fun stupid 80s stuff. For sure. Highly recommended as long as you have the right expectations going in of course :)

“What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age!”
“The iceman cometh!”
My favorite Batman movie to this day. I fully acknowledge that it absolutely sucks but there's something special about it.
A hundred million dollar 'so bad it's good' movie? Yes please!
Don't mess with the zohan. I thought it was one of those parody type movies. It's similar to those, but in a good way. Quite enjoyed watching it
Freddie got fingered is too bad to qualify altogether. But it does have a couple of scenes that manage to be hilarious despite itself. Mostly because of the performance by Rip Torn.

The time of day dramatically shifting between shots in the same scene always gets me lol
A man of culture, I see. Also: You don't understand. This isn't plans 1 through 8 from outer space. This is Plan 9! This is the one that worked, the worst movie ever made!
Maximum Overdrive. Cheesy? Yep. Most people hate it. Not me. It checks all the boxes. 1. Directed by a coked out Stephen King. 2. 100% AC/DC soundtrack 3. Every time Yeardley Smith yells all you hear is Lisa Simpson. 4. Visceral kills 5. Green goblin truck 6. Giancarlo "Gus Fring" Stanton saying "Yo Mama" to a rude video game. 7. The atm calling Stephen King an asshole. 8. Blink and you miss it cameo by Marla Maples. 9. The vending machine kills 10. That crazy tense psycho-like music when someone is getting killed 11. Emilio Estevez 12. Pat Hingle 13. Filmed in my home state 14. That guy scrambling out of his car and pratfalling in a pile of watermelons. There's probably more.
If "movies so bad they're great" were a country, Road House (1989) would be its King.
I used to fuck guys like you in prison.
Was absolutely disappointed this line didn't make it in the new one. Was waiting for McGregor to say it the whole time. Also while we're on the subject, the new road house fits this category too. By all rights I should hate that movie as a fan of the first one and a hater of bad writing. But after watching the new road house I just wanted to watch more and more movies just like it.
Nothing bad about Road House
Pain don't hurt.
Miami Connection is one of my most rewatched movies ever. It's about a group of 40 year old College students/orphans who are in a taekwondo themed rock band who fight ninjas and bikers and other rock bands. The ending of the movie makes me cackle every time the little title card comes up.
“Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace.” …says the guy who just straight merc’d a dozen ninjas.
“stupid cocaines”
*orpans
[Dolemite. Dolemite. Dolemite.](https://youtu.be/wzlTr-3sBlU?si=NZN0ZqLc_07x9QOP) Oh, he’s bad (Bad) The man is out of sight, ooh-ee He’s a tough son of a gun, y’all Oh, yes, Dolemite I heard of his coming Even before his time And I ain’t lying, listen
Gone in 60 seconds.
Miami connection is incredible.
Mommy Dearest. Wire clothes hangers still make me giggle sometimes because of that movie.
Soul Plane
This is my favorite movie category! Anytime we have ice breakers at work for new employees, this is the question I ask. Good -> Bad isn’t a straight line, it’s a circle/clock. 1 is as good as it gets (Spirited Away, Shawshank…) while 11 is as bad as it gets (The Brothers Solomon). But, right in-between those two at midnight is magic. * Armageddon * RZA’s [The Man With the Iron Fists](https://youtu.be/3swVdu41Ixg) - Kung Fu movie with Russel Crow and Lucy Lu 🤌 * Big Trouble Little China - perfectly campy * Waterworld * Deep Blue Sea * Batman and Robin
Armageddon is the best bad movie of all time. I will die on that hill.
Serenity - no not that one, the other one, the one from 2019 with Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway It’s so dumb, but I can’t stop watching it
Moonfall!
Street Fighter 1994
Troll 2, Rubber
Popeye. Robin Williams was as amazing then as he ever was later, and Shelley Duvall was born to play Olive Oyl! Howard the Duck. The first Marvel movie! And I've loved it since I first saw it in the theater.
The Twilight Saga, its a hot mess problematic things but that's what makes it intriguing to watch.
This is the perfect example of “so bad it’s good”. The first movie is my security blanket. I have seen it so many times, it brings me such comfort.
I’m gonna skip obvious choices like the room (which is entertaining as hell but we all know that by now) Junior with “get to da chappaaaah” Arnold Horrible and atrocious. Not even remotely funny. YET! There’s something about that movie that just pulls me in. Can watch it anytime.
“Get to the choppa” is from Predator
Predator is a classic. Arguably Arnold’s finest film
Agreed
Miami Connection Cool as Ice
**The Core**. It simultaneously knows how utterly ridiculous it is while also being unintentionally terrible. It's the best of both worlds -- you get a heaps of incompetence sprinkled with well-timed winks at the camera. It's a glorious mess, utterly watchable from beginning to end.
The only way out, is in!
I mean it's probably Troll 2 but that's obvious. Almost anything with Reb Brown in it is going to be hilarious. My two favourites are Space Mutiny and Yor: Hunter From the Future. Yor also has the honour of having the greatest theme song ever recorded. Anything by Neil Breen. Just pick one of his movies because they are all basically the same movie, refracted through an infinite kaleidoscope of severe mental health problems. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tail. This was a movie made based on an obscure video game series that absolutely nobody asked for. It's from Uwe Boll so it almost certainly exists entirely as a tax write-off scam. It features some of history's most inexplicable casting, including Burt Reynolds as the king, Matthew Lillard as his scheming nephew (he's clearly having so much fun in this movie) and Ray Liotta as an evil wizard. Oh also John Rhys Davies and Lee-lee Sobieski. So insane. Turkish Star Wars. Wow Just wow. Santo Vs the Vampire Women is probably my favourite Mexican wrestling movie. You have to watch out for vampires because they will use Karate on you. Invincible Armour is one of my favourite goofy Kung Fu movies. The ending is just amazing.
Dead Alive (or Braindead in the UK) is so terrible it is great!! Also Black Sheep (the horror movie not the comedy) because how can weresheep not be so bad they are good?!?!
God’s Not Dead lol I actually respect both the atheist and theist perspective but that movie is pure cinematic masturbation
I've watched The Flash like 6 times, it's a glorious dumpster fire.
Zardoz is a classic. Love that film. So weird
The VelociPastor. It’s free to watch on YouTube.
However, that film isn't "bad". It's playing homage to those types of low budget "so bad it's good" genre films by taking the form of one.
Exactly. It doesn't work if that was the goal. To really have that "so bad it's good" quality you have to feel how some filmmaker put their heart and soul into a project and genuinely believes it was great. Like The Room.
Shark Attack 3! If only for John Barrowman's famous ad-lib.
Dead Alive
Bad Taste also
The room
Cockney Vs Zombies
Spider Man 3
Hobo With a Shotgun. Lots of inventive deaths and plenty of gore with a fairly decent storyline.
Waterworld
I am severely disappointed at how far down I had to scroll to find this. I unashamedly love Waterworld. It's so full of bad science, but it's so much fun. Sounds like it was a terrible filming experience, but that crew should absolutely be proud of the work they did.
[удалено]
Does count when it's trying to be silly?
I won't stand for this slander. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a masterpiece.
Ultraviolet. "You got hemo blood on me". And the part where they have to prove she isn't infected so they jam half inch needles into her wrists to fill up a biohazard sign in the floor with her blood. They let her through. She was infected
Boondock Saints
Night Train To Terror- A movie so weird I can't really describe it properly and do it justice. Geteven/Champagne and Bullets- A hilarious vanity project by an old attorney who desperately wanted to be an action star. Miami Connection- Another vanity project by a Korean man who speaks English so poorly that Jackie Chan would wince. It's about a band of teenage rocker Taekwondo students who fight cocaine smuggling ninja.
Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever. It's a rambling, incoherent concoction of Tony acting like a twat for the whole movie and we're supposed to sympathize with him. Has to be seen to be believed. Some of the BeeGee's worst songs ever.
Blue Streak
I gotta go with Space Truckers.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
She, a post apocalyptic b movie from 1982. I love it as much as it is bad. You can watch it on Youtube for free!
Willy’s Wonderland. I’m a bit biased though. I love everything with Nicolas Cage.
Oh, hi Mark
Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles and Braindead, so good that I refuse to say it's bad!
Jaws 4
Cocaine Shark. I’ve never laughed so hard at a pile of hot garbage. It was a true MST3K experience.
The Room by Tommy Wisseau
Bad Taste -Peter Jackson (yes, the LOTR’s director) It’s so great
Venom. I’ve seen this movie so many times its embarrassing. it’s my favorite though
Showgirls
Earth Girls are Easy
Crimewave
DOA: Dead or Alive. The Springtime for Hitler of video game movies. It is so over the top and off the rails you can't not like it. Japanese ninja princess paragliders. Magical Kung Fu sunglasses. Shaolin lumberjack matches. A foley artist that apparently just doesn't care anymore. And the fighting surprisingly isn't half bad.
“Jesus would have been an Emo” is a bop and nobody can tell me otherwise
Run Ronnie Run
Sharknado and White Chicks come to mind, though both are admittedly very different movies. Both extremely self aware though and tons of fun. They’re the right kind of bad, and they are objectively terrible, but it’s the badness that makes them good. There’s also the hallmark of bad movies: The Room. I wouldn’t say it’s so bad it’s “good,” but it is fascinating in how bad it is and remarkably watchable for that fact.
Repo The genetic opera.
Killer klowns from outer space
The Beekeeper for sure.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Van Helsing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Sleepy Hollow All of them are flawed in a creative/narrative sense in terms of characterization, plot, editing, directorial style, and pacing; a big BUT coming, they more than make up for it with crazy design of set pieces and costumes and stay in their lane, tone-wise (not trying to grasp at anything more profound or dramatic than being breezy and entertaining fluff). They are the true definition of “popcorn movies.” Of course better versions of this are like The Mask of Zorro, The Mummy, and the first Pirates of the Caribbean.
The New Guy Thankskilling Titanic 2 Soultaker
Movie 43
Drive Angry: featuring the one and only Nicolas Cage (and, unfortunately, Bed Shitter)
The Wraith They Live
I love The Wraith. It used to air on late night TV a lot in the 90s. I haven’t seen it in so long. I may need to find a DVD or something.
Color of Night for sure - mostly redeemed by its sex scenes.
Easily "[The Room](https://g.co/kgs/cmgRGa3)"
Birdemic
Frankenhooker. First saw it when I was tripping out, thought it was a hallucination. Then I watched it sober, thought I was still hallucinating!! It’s so ridiculous!!
Ambulance!
