Bad movies that you have an inexplicable soft spot for

  1. Xanadu

You know, I was trying to think of “The Longest Yard” and came up with the wrong movie. :smack:

Bad movies that you have an inexplicable soft spot for

  1. Xanadu
  2. Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar
    I’m pretty sure most people will name campy “so bad they’re good” movies.

I don’t regard ***Oscar ***as a bad movie. Personally, I thought it was hilarious. But it WAS univerally panned by the critics, and wound up on almost everybody’s Ten Worst Movies lists that year.

Bad movies that you have an inexplicable soft spot for

  1. Xanadu
  2. Sylvester Stallone’s Oscar
  3. Independence Day

Yeah, it has plot holes you could drive a truck through. I still like it. (The problem for me here is the word “inexplicable”. There’s a lotta bad movies out there I like, but I can normally tell you why, and it’s usually revolving around sentiment. Or snarkiness.)
