There, fixed it for ya.
Thank you !
I have a Bad Film Festival every year, and show some of these. You may disagree about whether these are Bad, or Cult, but some of that’s in the Eye of the Beholder
**Plan Nine from Outer Space
Bride of the Monster
Robot Monster
Killers from Space
The Forbidden Zone
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai
Doc Savage
Night of the Lepus
Lizstomania**
*Hackers
Rocky Horror
Empire Records*
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
There’s even a musical (Evil Dead: The Musical) based on these two movies, and it’s just as campy and silly as the source material. In other words, it’s the greatest musical ever made (there’s even a blood splash zone).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
“Movies so bad, they become cult.”
Better Off Dead – Back in college, we used to say that this this movie starring John Cusack was the “best piece of art ever produced by Western civilization” (tongue in cheek, of course).
What about Army of Darkness?!
Aw, man, you’re right. I meant to add it, but got distracted and forgot. How could I forget the wonder that is Evil Ash?
Fourteen posts about bad cult movies and no one has mentioned The Party Animal? Then again, it is redeemed somewhat by the awesome scene where two workers in a sex store use dildos as props to talk about missile treaties.
I kind of feel this way about Hide and Seek, the horrid DeNiro/Dakota Fanning movie from '05. I saw it with my boyfriend at the time and we would often quote the movie afterwards and giggle. After I’d watch it on HBO if it was on and kind of chortle because it was just so lame but in an entertaining way. I doubt it’ll become the next Manos, but I enjoyed it.
Empire Records was so bad it was good?! it was…okay, it wasn’t exactly good. Still, my love of Empire Records is more about liking it because it was cute and less loving to hate on it.
I actually consider Empire Records to be a bonafide good movie.
For Bad Movie, I’ll add: Perils of Gwendoline in the land of Yak Yak.
and
Ice Pirates
Manos: Hands of Fate
Can I really be the first to suggest The Rocky Horror Picture Show?
No, but second aint bad.
