Dude, Swamp Thing is not a crappy movie. His girlfriend was a babe! ---

The script isn’t a masterpiece in any sense of the word, but its pretty damn fun to sing along with. ---

Oh my God. HOW COULD I POSSIBLY FORGET DIRTY DANCING??? That has got to be the worst movie ever made, bar none!!! It’s painful to watch, actually. Not to mention that damn theme song - “Time of my Life” by Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley. I’d rather hear fingernails scraping a chalkboard than that song. However, I loved “Joe vs. the Volcano.” ---

Bah, that’s what I get for posting when I’m tired. I meant to say ‘great piece of cinema’. ---

wow, lots of hatred here for some movies I love. 🙂 (highlander, Batman, Back to the future, fight club, Kevin Smith, David Lynch, even dear sainted Star Wars.) But I’ll second blade runner and add some fuel to the fire: Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (VOMIT!!!) This is Spinal Tap. (But then, some of you already know that) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/horrible-horrible-movies-with-cult-followings/82306.md?page=4)
