So Bad It's Good

[Eclectic Dreck]

Waterworld.

Probably Army of Darkness.

This is actually my favorite movie, but I recognize it isn't because it's a particularly good movie; instead, it was bad in all the right ways.

 

[angry_flashlight]

I second Kung Pow! "Ayeye! ck! ck!" Tonguey FTW.

Army of Darkness was made of pure win though.

[smudgey]

Super Mario Bros: The movie.

Yeah, i liked it. I don't know why. It was just stupid fun.

 

[Lancer723]

Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. The funniest garbage I've ever had the enormous pleasure of watching and laughing my ass of to.

Yes.

Also, The Room.

Those are both amazing. So is this, however.

It's called "The Calamari Wrestler", and it's the single greatest cinematic experience I've had in my entire life.

[Funkiest Monkey]

Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus. Yeah, that's right.

 

[Pegghead]

In terms of movies probably The Godson, it's like watching a train wreck only that train wreck stars Ridney Dangerfield and "pokes fun" at mobster movies. But I swear that Dead Rising sun is going to become commonplace in these kind of threads when it comes out, I'm almost tempted to preorder the game (though I'll probably buy it anyway) just for the film.

Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. The funniest garbage I've ever had the enormous pleasure of watching and laughing my ass of to.

Yes.

Also, The Room.

oh dear god thats just bad, at least Kung Pow is funny.

 

[Verlander]

Poultrygeist. It's a Troma film, but not too involved in the Troma universe

 

[The Warden]

Look at that. It's awful, it's got terrible imitations of the characters voices, randomly chosen character models, awful voice acting with them laughing while talking, they rarely use face poser even. It's got all the ingredients to being a forgettable piece of shit, and yet it's awesomely hilarious.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Friends. The TV show, I mean. I don't think I've ever laughed at the intended jokes as I was supposed to, but I can't help laughing about how terrifically awful.

Also, Commando with Arnie.

 

[Frybird]

Starship troopers.

This movie is so bad it is fantastic. Their isnt a second of this movie that isnt made of pure win.

Like Robocop by the same guy, it's very much supposed to be like that. And also like Robocop, even without the underlying satire it would be very very fun.

So...let's see:

- My Name is Bruce
Another Movie that is probably supposed to be bad...or HAD to be bad because you couldn't get a higher budget with that premise...but it is also a funny and loving homage to the very worst of filmmaking, and, of course, Bruce Campbell, who is just beyond any kind of criticism.

- The Wicker Man Remake
I think almost everyone saw the "highlights" of Nicholas Cage in that Movie on Youtube, and to be fair these are the best moments, but the whole movie (with lots of scenes where Cage just looks irritated and stumbles around the island the movie takes place on) is some surreal masterpiece of badness.

- xXx 2
For most people it's just a very bad sequel to a mediocre film, but Ice Cubes "Tough Guy" acting and the awful setpieces always make me laugh.

- Versus
A japanese movie with a completely unneccesary and overly complicated plot, but all you need to know is that it features Zombie Samurais and has cool fight scenes, making this a win.

- Doomsday
It's Mad Max in Scotland with Cannibals, Zombies, Conspiracies, corny acting, and there is this part of the movie that theoretically set in Medieval Times. Stupid in all the best ways.

- Batman: The Movie - The first one with Adam West
I don't think it really needs to be mentioned anymore, but it deserves to so you can't just get rid of it...like bombs.


Also, honorable Mentions:

- Dawn of the Dead Remake
I don't think it's actually a BAD movie. It's mostly well acted, has great production values and although no cigar to the original, the plot is more than decent.
BUT it has every element that makes bad movies usually great. I think this sums it up best: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=dawn_rules

- Speed Racer
For me it would qualify as a Bad-Good-Movie, but it's meant for kids, so i have a hard time to actually judge. For ANY Audience however, this movie is as literal as you can get to the term "eye-candy".

- The Signal
...I can't even say if it's bad OR good, it just is. But that's what you expect from a movie about Insanity that completely changes styles multiple times through the movie. The Signal can be terrifying at times and hilarious at others, and if you like the weird stuff its worth a watch.

I think Clockstoppers would have to be it. That movie was a super tweeny, bad movie; ridiculous all the way through. My sister and I used to watch it all the time and we heard the song we always associated with it (All The Small Things or something), and were like, OMG WHAT WAS THAT MOVIE?!
It was hilariously bad.

Dear god sir, I had forgotten about this movie, they use watches to slow time? I loved it so much for pretty much the same reason

Though my answer would be Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, best/worst movie ever

Inorite?! It was so silly. Do you remember something about the water being frozen in mid-air? That's all I remember besides them needing to get past a fan or something.

I remember that movie! It was really bad lol. But the concept was neat.

It WAS neat. God, I miss movies like those. They may have been tweeny, but they were still somewhat creative. I think the theme between those movies was that the teens were always spies or found gadgets, etc. I miss that tomfoolery.

Most highly regarded Anime is a pile of literary trash but still fun to watch because it's so damn funny to see how the japanese depict "natural behavior" for the 12 to 25 age group.

 

[octafish]

For me, I can't sit through absolute crap, so I think a bunch of John Carpenter films have to be mentioned. Good films but massive amounts of cheese, intentional cheese mind you. Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China, and "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta gum." They Live. "PUT ON THE GLASSES". Rowdy RRRRRoddy Piiiiiii-per you are ridiculous.
