And sign me up for Hudson Hawk, Better Off Dead… and add Angus.

Yes, but this is supposed to be about movies everyone else seems to hate, and who, aside from a barbarian, could hate Better Off Dead? It’s one of Savage Steve Holland’s best three films.
Those three are of course “Better Off Dead” “One Crazy Summer” and “How I Got Into College”…

That’s true. How about from the list of IMDb’s Bottom 100. Anyone love any of these movies?
(I’ve never seen any of them.)

(Me, either.)
My pick would be Joe versus the Volcano. And, no, it’s not because of Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan; or should I say, I’m not one of those sappy people that would like anything they are in together. I just find that movie hysterically funny & quotable.
Perusing the IMDB list:
I though “SpiceWorld” was kicky, often clever, and always fun. Musicals have an edge on the “so bad they’re good” field, I think.
And one I just spotted sitting atop my DVD player: “Surf Ninjas”. 1993. Starring Leslie Nielsen, Tone Loc, a young Rob Schneider, and several teen stars of the Karate Kid school of Nickelodeon-style stardom. Not only is the “ninjas + surfing” concept still as AWESOMELY RADICAL as it was in the early '90s, but the script, acting and design are so (intentionally) over-the-top that it’s really, um, good.
“Kwantsu! They love this word! It must mean, like, ‘free beer’ or something.”

Actually the beginning when he has that horrible job is very well done. What could be more depressing.It feels like some jobs.
I thought Lost in Translation was a fantastic movie. It received a great deal of critical praise too.
But try to suggest that it’s a good movie and be prepared to be shot down more often than not.
