The Evil Dead movies don’t count, they knew exactly what they were doing. Those movies are parodies, and they are wonderful!
I also secretly liked Earth Girls Are Easy. Another guilty pleasure: Weird Science. I know, they accomplished exactly what they were trying to with that one, but it was still so hokey in parts, how could you not call it bad? The big scary bikers at the end, oh god!
Wow, some of the movies mentioned here are faves! Logan’s Run, Raising Arizona? Hell yes!
How about Stealing Beauty? Everyone else hated that movie. I dig it.
My favorite lame movie is called The Chase with Charlie Sheen. This movie rocks! He kidnaps this girl, somewhat unintentionally, and the whole movie is about them running from the cops. Henry Rollins plays this funny-as-hell cop who is reminiscent of the show Cops. Anthony Keidis and Flea are these two wild vigilantes who chase after Sheen in their monster truck. The acting sucks, the plot sucks, everything sucks, but I laugh my ass off every time!
Amazon Women on the Moon is one of my favorites. I used to be amazed at the celebrities they roped into doing that thing.
I’ve never been to a midnight showing of RHPS and haven’t been able to do the audience participation thing, but I actually enjoy the movie on its own merits. I love the music!
Electric Dreams about a man whose computer becomes self-aware and falls for the neighbor lady by accompanying her cello playing. Goofy as hell, but I always get misty when the computer self-destructs in the end.
Blade Runner: The critics say it’s a bad movie, but I’ve always enjoyed it. I particularly enjoy the Director’s Version where they cut out Harrison Ford’s awkward narration.
“Grease” - the acting and plot are pretty bad, not to mention the horrible message it sends to young people (He doesn’t like you? CHANGE!) but I just love it anyway. And I always thought Olivia Newton-John (WHO said she is gay? I want names!) looked better before the perm…
And I really love Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, with Leslie Warren and the dude who plays that Alan Quartermaine on General Hospital.
I absolutely love these movies. I own them all( directors cut of the first one). But I can also appreciate that certian people would find it stupid(not me though).
Caveman: Atook zug-zug Lahna! The Last Action Hero: I liked it! Ah-nuld with cartoon characters!
Ditto on the Porky’s
I also liked BASEketball
Does Death Race 2000 count as a “bad” movie? It rocked!
Last actions hero!! I forgot about that one…I love the part where he rips the plus from the light, jams it into the dead, who proceeds to shoot all the bad guys…HA!!
Don’t you hate when you post something and the millisecond AFTER you do so, you want to add something?
sigh
Have to agree with The Last Action Hero - I enjoyed it and didn’t think it was as bad as everyone made out.

And Luc Besson’s Joan of Arc which I thought was a wonderful look at whether the maid of new orleans was delusionary or indeed blessed. I thought the deliberate ambiguity made i incredibly powerful and only added to Dustin Hoffman’s character (excellent performance btw). And for those criticising Jovavich’s performance I have nothing but scorn for. While I agree she isn’t the world’s best actor, here she did very well. SHe was playing a peasant girl with no education but unshakable conviction for godsake!! Which I thought she did very well.
Joan of Arc: A so-called bad movie which I loved.

I really loved this movie too. I watch it alone, in the dark, with a canlde lit and a window open. Sets the scene, ya know?
I like every cheesy 80’s movie: Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, the Goonies, Dirty Dancing, Teen Witch, Twins, Joe Vs. the Volcano, BIG…And my most shameful, OVERBOARD, which I watch every time it’s on.
Also, I loved the cop movies, all thought I’ve forgotten most of them - always if their was a dog sidekick.
My dad loved Paint Your Wagon (Clint Eastwood sings - badly!) For some reason, I like it too - maybe it brings up good childhood memories or maybe it’s just a genetic defect. One my own volition, I think Clue (all three endings) is hilarious, and Real Genius is great!
RHPS is bad without the audience participation? I’ve NEVER been to a showing of it (The first time I saw it I was at my cousins and she was watching it) and I LOVE it! Its hilarious and wonderful.
Make that 3!
That was bad? I loved that movie!
I’ve not seen Last Action Hero yet or Earth Girls Are Easy I’ll have to see about getting them. Maybe soon I have a couple of free movie rental things.
What about Army of Darkness? I really enjoy that one but I think most would consider that a bad movie.
