Your Favourite Horrible Movie

[Dyan]

Hello fellow escapists! Like the title says, this thread is about those horrible movies you can't help but love. Anything goes!

For me it's "The Room". I've watched this movie more times than I can count and I just love it to death. From "What a story mark!" to "You are tearing me apart Lisa!" to the awkward football scenes. For me it's the epitome of "so good it's bad".

I don't know if it counts as a 'horrible' movie but I've always liked the 1976 version of the Omen as an amusing film rather than scary. The deaths are just ridiculous, some scenes are very obviously filmed in a studio and the concept of an evil five year old is funny rather than frightening.

I love horrible movies. I'm a huge MST3K fan. My two favorite episodes are Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, and The Projected Man. Now, if someone asked me what the WORST movies of all time are that were on that show, I'd say Attack of the Eye Creatures and The Wild, Wild World of Batwoman.

I showed The Creeping Terror to some friends of mine once and they got a kick out of it. Parts of it may be uploaded on youtube. I think you can buy the MST3K version of that one.

Troy

That movie is so fucking cheesy, with cringeworthy over-romantisized dialoge, and Brad Pitt trying to give a classical performance...

I just eat that shit up with a giant wooden spoon.

Hard to think of just one, I've got a stack sitting on my desk now even: Father's Day, Man with the Screaming Brain, Nuke'm High, Dead-Alive and Army of Darkness.

Transformers

The movies are just god-awful at everything. Acting, writing, humor, romance, etc. But the action is just so awesome it trumps everything.

DOA: Dead or Alive.

It's atrocious, it really is. Plus it's based on the DOA games which, as a feminist (no one jump on this, k thnx) usually just cause me to roll my eyes and as a woman make me secretly spend way more time than I should worrying about how Team Ninja seem to think boobs work (Not. Like. That. For the love of god, not like that, what the fuck is wrong with you, it hurts just to watch??!)

Sorry, got sidetracked... but yeah, I love the movie. Not even in a particularly ironic way, I genuinely enjoy watching it, and I have done so many, many times. I don't pretend to understand how my brain works, but I just roll with it.

The Street fighter movie, mainly for one person, Raul Julia playing as Bison



No matter what day I am having, I can sit and watch this film, and it can improve a good day, and a make terrible day better. There aren't many films I have come across that make me do that.

A best friend of mine from Berlin, while we were in Oslo this summer convinced me to watch Pacific Rim.
I know it is not that horrible movie, but you should have seen our faces when we exited the theater. Still we both find it entertaining in some weird empty-headed way.

That's funny because I was watching The Creeping Terror last night. God that movie is pretty awful, but hilarious. I showed The Starfighters to a group of my friends and it was just the best thing ever.

OT: Starship Troopers, Kung Pow Enter The Fist, and The Man With The Iron Fist.

The last one mainly because of how schizophrenic it is, and the main villain is just awesome. I've been told Army of Darkness is terrible, but those people don't know what the hell they're talking about. It's awesome dammit!

Ya know i've answered this question so many times, I'll just use the same answer DOOM. Every sequence was bad, but the awesome kind of bad. I did also really like Chronicles of Riddick and this year's Riddick just for being ridiculously bad.

I don't know if it counts as a 'horrible' movie but I've always liked the 1976 version of the Omen as an amusing film rather than scary. The deaths are just ridiculous, some scenes are very obviously filmed in a studio and the concept of an evil five year old is funny rather than frightening.

I've seen that and the more modern version. The modern one was crap, trying to take itself too seriously.

OT: As another MST3K fan, my measure on what's horrible has a few standards.

Movies like Doom, Battleship, and things with Riddick are dubious, but they're not bad. They are, in fact, action-entertainment.

BAD is Invasion of the Neptune Men. HORRIBLE is Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Ah, The Room... A movie so good not only did I buy it on DVD... but straight up refuse to buy it on Blu-Ray...

OT: Assuming we're going to call it that, (besides The Room) I'm choosing High School Musical... Not because I got to play as one of the main side characters in my middle school's version of said movie, but because I never get tired of singing along to the music... Besides, the director of the movie (Kenny Ortega) went on to do not only the other 2 HSM movies, but also directed This Is It, that Michael Jackson tribute concert/documentary...

Edit: He also directed Hocus Pocus, a movie Doug Walker hates with a passion for no legitimate reason once you know his reasoning for hating said film in the first place... (The movie does NOT focus THAT much on the "virgin" thing, Doug...)

Um, I actually found the Host (yeah, the adaptation of a Stephanie Meyer book) pretty hysterical. Mostly because I watched it with my siblings and right at the start of the movie, one of us made a crack about the pods being the final evolution of the iPad. Thing is, the alien forces in it all go white, silver, and chrome for their aesthetics, and it very quickly became apparent (at least to us) that we were actually watching a world that had been taken over by Apple. We're pretty sure there's even a scene of the aliens using Apple computers.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The only terrible movie I've ever seen is The Room about a month ago at my friend's place with about five other friends. I see the appeal of bad movie night, but I don't like bad movies though.

 

[DreddMnky]

My favorite horrible movie would have to be "The Undertaker and His Pals". It's a classic gore film about these two restaurant owners that kill people and use parts of the bodies as food. They work for an undertaker, and he makes a killing off the families who have to bury the dead. It's awful but funny.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Alien 3

Both of these movies for the same reasons. I genuinely love both movies only to find out later on the internet that everyone apparently hates them. This came to me as a surprise and I eventually re-watched them again as a result. Same outcome. Both movies are great.

I consider Alien 3 the most rewatchable and entertaining one of the franchise. I loved the alien design and the movies pacing. I got invested in the characters and the setting was perfect for the film.

Phantom Menace is certainly a flawed movie with a couple embarrassing scenes but I still think the movie as a whole is excellent. It's a popcorn flick and I take it as seriously as I'd take something like Rocky 4. I fully admit my love for this movie is tied to some strong nostalgic attachment. I first saw it at a special time in my life in high school and viewing it just makes me feel good.

'You come here, expect to fight a madman, instead you found a god!?'

It's a great movie by virtue of the fact that Raul Julia is so professional at playing M. Bison. Him and the actor who plays Zangief are brilliant. I cannot say the same for everybody else. I hate being ninja'd.


OT: Dollman is still one of my favorite movies, and at an Hour and 18 minutes, It's not too long. It is the perfect bad movie, and I defy anybody who has seen it and not like it.

I'm just gonna link the trailer, and you be the judge.

The room shall always and ever be my favorite <3

DOA: Dead or Alive.

YES! It's a stupid movie with stupid dialogue, horrible special effects, and one-dimensional characters... but it's about as perfect of an adaption of the DOA franchise as it could possibly be. Just stupid sexy fun

I've always been a huge fan of Last Action Hero, though it seems to be almost universally hated. It works as a parody of action movies, and we got to see Charles Dance being awesome years before Game of Thrones. It's kind of interesting seeing the guy who would eventually play Tywin Lannister talking about how nice it would be to live in a world where the bad guys can win
