I'm a big fan of awful B-movie type films which are so bad that they're great. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good ones seeing as I'm always looking to expand my DVD collection. Here's a couple of examples of the kind of films I'm looking for;

By the way I searched for a similar thread but couldn't find one so sorry if this has been done before :)

Ah, Undefeatable... it's been too long.

"We'll keep an eye out for you stingray!"
"Yeah... See ya!"

Two of the most terrible puns I've ever heard in a row.

I would suggest Robot Monster, which has to be one of the lowest budget, and most terribly written monster movies I've ever seen.

"He's Impervious!"
"Unless we find his weak spot!"

If you're looking for crappy, schlocky horror, I recommend April Fool's Day, which is basically just your average really bad 80s slasher flick, Meridian: Kiss of the Beast, which features a scene in which a gypsy turns into a werewolf while having sex with a woman that he just drugged, or Sleep Away Camp, which has probably the most ridiculous twist ending ever, both because it's hilarious and because it doesn't change anything about the movie whatsoever. Sleep Away Camp 2 - 4 are also notable; the killer is the same in each film, so there's no suspense at all, just a string of bizarre murder scenes.

If you want a truly horrifying movie, however, I recommend Pink Flamingos [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/], which was directed by John Waters. The MPAA rating actually sums it up remarkably well: "Rated NC-17 for a wide range of perversions in explicit detail." Everything about it is terrible; the writing, acting, editing, and production values are all so bad that you can't really meaningfully describe how bad they are. It starts off by lulling you into a false sense of security by just being offensively, appallingly badly done, and then BAM, there's a scene where two ugly people fuck with a live chicken in the middle. (When I say that, you probably think of sex comedies like American Pie, where the guy brings over the chicken and they murmur beneath the camera and you hear some clucking and then someone walks in and is shocked. That is not how this scene plays out. They put a camera on a tripod, point it at a couch with a naked lady, a naked guy walks over holding a chicken, and they start humping with the chicken squawking and flapping in the middle right there in front of the camera.) The chicken scene is not the last jaw-dropping scene in this movie, nor is it the worst. The main character is very obviously a fat guy in drag, but this movie is so fucked up that it's not even worth mentioning.

Somehow, I can't bring myself to dislike Pink Flamingos. I think it's because of the film classes I took, where I was told that documentaries are an attempt to put the truth on screen, always doomed to failure because the very act of filming something denies it context in its presentation. This film, however, succeeded in putting the truth on screen, and that truth happened to be that everyone involved in its production was completely fucked.

Dungeons and Dragons. So bad, it was hilarious. How Jeremy Irons kept a straight face in the tsunami of overacting I'll never know.

Tank Girl may be one of my most favourite movies of all time. The only people I know who like it do so ironically.

Resident Evil. admittedly, i never really had any history with the series up till I got Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube, so I was pretty oblivious about the movie. I watched the movie, and I gotta say, had it not been for Milla Jovovich starring in the movie, I would have left the theatre. Fuck you Paul W.S. Anderson...

I have a few good ones, I picked 'em up as part of a 10 dvd set for $2.

The best are..
"Beaks" - Pretty much a dodgey ripoff of "The birds" Imdb doesn't have anything on it.
"Learning Curve" - Actually a really good film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134613/
"The Asylum" - Also a really good film! Probably my favorite from the pack. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218824/
"Killer Drag Queens On Dope" - Really stupid and funny, in a B-movie kinda way. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0355650/

Edit: OH!! I didn't check your examples. Try find Killer Drag Queens on dope. SO STUPID!

I would have to say Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This movie is just so cheesy and outrageous that I was actually having a hard time breathing from laughing. Just to give you a little taste of the horrors within the movie, the clowns imprison people in eggs. Giant, green eggs.

Anything put out by Troma Entertainment is great schlock fun. Terror Firma, I Was a Teenage Nymphomaniac in Dinosaur Hell and Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town all spring to mind.

Anything by Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Frankenhooker) and the Stuart Gordon/Brian Yuzna films (Re-Animator series, Castle Freak) are also great.

Sorry about the emphasis on horror/gore, kind of my specialist subject!

STARCRASH!

It's a 1979 movie trying to cash in on Star Wars. Very campy but still coherent enough to be watchable.
