Did anyone mention *Buckaroo Banzai *yet?
Nor has it, to my knowledge at least, become a cult hit either.
I did, upthread. One year I had Failed Cult Movies as the theme. Buckaroo Banzai hadn’t yet become quite the cult film it now is. But it had special relevance – Pepper Mill is actually From Grover’s Mill, N.J., where the Martians (and Lectroids) landed, so a lot of the film was nominally taking place in her home town. I think the Yoyodyne plant they showed is actually bigger than the real Grovers Mill. And there aren’t any palm trees in NJ.
I’m embarking on a crusade to change that.
Love the titles, so I’ll just add KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park.
I’m really sorry, but now I’m going to have to order you killed.
Would this involve an island and a bear suit?
My three were going to be:
Xanadu - fun music set to roller skating. Skreeee!
Rocky Horror Picture Show - horribly fun
RepoMan - I was dragged to this something like three times by my friend. The only thing I can remember is the generic food labels (e.g. “CORN CHIPS” or “COLA”) in the food mart.
All right, smartass. Get in line.
I SAW Nick Cage in ‘The Wicker Man’. I’ll do it for half-price. A quarter if you want Cage done as well. I’ll throw Megan Fox in for free as a preemptive strike.
There’s absolutely no comparison between The Room and Evil Dead 2. One was written, directed, produced, and acted by a guy with an inexplicable foreign accent whose previous experience was importing textiles from Korea and the other was a brilliant, campy parody of B-movies made by Sam Raimi (Spiderman, Drag Me to Hell) and starring Bruce Campbell, who’s actually a fairly good actor.
Seriously, compare: The Evil Dead 2 vs. The Room.
Evil Dead 2 has brilliant special effects and cinematography, as well.
I think this thread is missing the truly awful, like Samurai Cop, Ninja: The Final Duel, and Troll 2.
No-one has yet mentioned Inkubo (in English, Incubus), the inexplicable black-and-white 1960s horror film that proved that William Shatner can’t act in Esperanto either. 
Would you like fries with that?
Has no one mentioned The Blob w/ Steve McQueen? Loved it as a kid on Sunday afternoon movie matinee.
Fearless Vampire Killers.
It has a cult following. Me.
It has a Jewish vampire. (Victim holds up a cross to ward him off, vampire says “Oy, have you got the wrong vampire”.)
It has the surreal twist of knowing that nothing filmed in the movie is as gruesome as what happened to the lead actress (Sharon Tate) in real life.
Kirk Douglas, Ann Margaret, and Arnold Schwartzenegger in a live-action version of Roadrunner vs. Coyote.
The Villian [sup]1979[/sup]; however I was not aware that it had cult status.
The latest entry is " Idiocracy". It is very quotable .
That is an excellent movie, not a bad movie.
What about movies that appear to be bad by design? Such as From Dusk till Dawn?
