Right now I am watching ‘reposessed’ which got a one star rating in the TV guide. What are your favourite terrible movies that are so bad they’re good. ---

My favorite bad movie is _Streets of Fire_. I love it. I’m not under the illusion it’s any good, but I love it. ---

I still love the Classics: **Robot Monster Plan Nine from Outer Space** I hold a Bad Film Festival every year. (I started doing this lng before MST3K aired) Some of the films I’ve run: \*\*It Came from Hollywod The Monster that Challenged the World Deadly Friend The Forbidden Zone The First Nudie Musical Zardoz Doc Savage, Man of Bronze\*\* (_Highly_ recommended!) \*\*The Giant Claw The Crawling Eye \*\* ---

How about **Purple Rain** , which is a truly dreadful movie – except, of course, for the music. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mr. Blue Sky \* > \*\*:eek: \*\* Madman after poking the cats eye out “Why not…its not unlike a grape.” Also another fun scene is where another man goes insane after being injected with embalming fluid and takes the corpse of a woman and runs away with it. When her blouse does not fall off enough, he stops and helps it fall off. Not your usual 1934 movie fare. ---

I forgot Barb Wire. and Tomorrow Never Dies. Denise Richards saying, “Someone walking around with a kilo of weapons grade plutonium is no laughing matter.” To which James Bond should have said, “Ok, Cupcake,” but didn’t. Starship Troopers Solarbabies ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by twickster \* > \*\*How about **Purple Rain** , which is a truly dreadful movie – except, of course, for the music. \*\* It’s a masterpiece compared to Under A Cherry Moon which itself is a comprehensive lesson in writing, acting and directing compared to Graffiti Bridge. I’ll admit to a soft spot for Road House, one of the best bad movies ever. ---
