Favorite "Bad" Movie?

[Nouw]

Snakes on a plane....just for this:

The TV Edit is hilarious, you should check it out!

The Room

Four posts in aaaaand... we have a winner.

Waterworld

I was really surprised when I learned it was considered a bad movie. It had action, comedy, even a little romance. Sure, Dennis Hopper was a bit over the top, but a lot of action movie villains are--especially when there's comedy in the movie. I also find the story of an advanced civilization falling & being all but forgotten by society quite interesting.

Completely agree, and it's for many of the same reasons that I absolutely love Sahara (2005).

 

[The Night Shade]

I like Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

 

[Casual Shinji]

Howard the Duck.

I know it's stupid, I know it's embarressing, but I just love that movie. It's got a kick ass score too.

I'd have to say... Ben Hur. It's not really that bad, but it is a bit lame these days.
They show it around New years eeve every year here in Sweden and I watch it every time with my mother. It has become somewhat of a tradition.

 

[Professor Cubbage]

Starship Troopers.

I have a few favorites:

The Room. I whole-heartedly believe that everyone needs to watch this movie at least once in their lifetime.

ThanksKilling, about a turkey that kills kids.

Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. Yep...

The Star wars holiday special.

I love it because I can subject other people to its wonders...

I totally fell in love with Jackie Earle as Freddye Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elmstreet movie(he's currently my desktop wallpaper). I liked it. Now granted, I've only seen one or two of the ones before that and I can't specifically remember which ones.

Also I love Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I watched it over and over and over when I was a bit younger.

I think both qualify as at least "not particularly good".

Mine is Yor: Hunter from the Future.

Yor's World. He's the man!

Seriously, I will never forget the first time I actually saw this movie. It was even better than Spoony made it seem. A true classic.

Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness. B-movie horror effects with pretty good directing and uber cheesy one liners from Bruce Champbell make it a fav for me.

I also love this one. Bruce Campbell is ALSO the man. This and Evil Dead are pretty much the only truly good-bad movies he's made. The rest tend to be bad movies, from what I've seen.

I legitimately enjoyed Mortal Kombat I and II, as well as Street Fighter.

The Room

This one absolutely. My friends and I have watched it about 10 times and watched all of the extra features and interviews.

Have you seen his short movie "The House that Drips Blood on Alex"?

 

[Ace of Spades]

The Room

Ah ha ha, what a story Arehexes. I couldn't have summed it up better, huh.

 

[MurderousToaster]

Manos The Hands of Fate. Well, at least with MST3K added in.

Evil Dead: Army of Darkness? That is what every bad movie strives to be.

I don't consider Army of Darkness a bad movie. It's a B-movie, it's cheesy, but it's not a truly bad movie. It knows what it is. In my opinion bad movies are critters like troll 2, hobgoblins, batman forever or the room that are full of moments somebody obliviously thought were a good idea when they actually weren't.

The day glow costumes in Flash Gordon? 20 minutes of country driving jazz in Manos? The evil wheelchair bound midget of Lone Wolf McQuaid? 10 minutes of exciting Rake Dueling in Hobgoblins? A return to the Cheese Factor of 1960's Batman? And so on and so forth. Army of darkness doesn't go on the list for me. It's not funny because it fails. It's funny because it's trying to be funny and it carts a lot of original ideas like the evil mirror segment.

I could just be deluded. Pliny the elder said, "no book was so bad it didn't at least have it's good passages". It might be the same way for movies too.

Off the top of my head my favorite bad movie would probably have to be Water World. Everyone says it's a bad movie, logically, intellectually I can see why. But I've still watched it about half a dozen times. Anything Post apocalyptic gets a little leeway for me. Your Mad Maxes, your Postmen.

Flash Gordon has a fond view of humanity and a killer soundtrack. I know it's a bad movie, but when flash responds to the hawk man "Every last one of them"... It gets me a little every time.

I seriously love me some Highlander. Yeah the first one's the best. I know Clancy's hamming it up, but he hams it up so well. And there's Queen again. Oh and the TV show's good. The rest? We shall not speak of it.

What a coincidence, me and a bunch of friends are having a "bad move night" tonight. Among those movies we were gonna have The Room, Shark Attack 3, Hercules in New York, and old Batman.

You should check out Lone Wolf McQuade sometime if you haven't.

Here are two that are "bad", but I genuinely enjoyed.

If you like Bruce than I'd suggest "My Name is Bruce" and "Bubba Ho-tep". Not as good as AoD but if you like cheesy one liners from Campbell you might like them.
