So bad it's good movies (It's been a while)

Unknown World. I once had a person in hysterics when I described it as “like The Core, only with worse science.”

Either one of the guys who are currently playing Thor or Cap would be OK. The guy who plays Wolverine would be great as Monk.

The movie and the book were both sorta dumb and sorta entertaining, just in different ways.

A laser is cooler than a recording that says “gorillas go away” any day of the week.

For years, it was The Trial of Billy Jack, but I think that was supplanted by the Lifetime channel’s Cyber Seduction, a drama ripped from today’s headlines about the alarming tragedy of Internet pornography! It’s probably easily available on the Internet, if you think you can resist the siren song of the temptations it presents.

any of the twilight movies. they’ve been all over cable lately and i can’t stop watching. they’re so wonderfully bad.

I’m giving you a choice: either put on these glasses or start eatin’ that trash can.

I came here to wear glasses and eat trash cans, and I’m all out of trash cans.

My entry:

The land that time forgot

plus the sequel:
The People that Time Forgot

I said, it was one of Crichton’s better ones. That doesn’t preclude its being dumb and entertaining. :slight_smile:

And a cute blonde chick shooting down a satellite, from the ground, with a hand-held laser, is just James Bond cool, right?

Oor-roight, mee-oove ee-art!

Disqualified. It KNEW it was bad. It was intentionally bad and reveled in it. Great movie, and very quotable.

Traxx. “Be good, be gone, or be dead.”

It’s cheesy, oh my {[non]deity/ies}, is it cheesy. But I loved it when I first saw it on cable in the '80s and I still love it today.

Battlefield Earth should have been a comedy spoofing scifi tropes and so forth, but it wasn’t. It’s still very funny, though.

All Twilight Rifftrax’s are hilarious. The second one is almost intentionally comedic(the dude directed American Pie).

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls – Josie & the Pussycats (or live-action simulacrum band) drop acid, go crazy at orgies, get sapphic, and basically get into all kinds of wild early-70s countercultural hijinks.
Very eerie coindicence though -

There’s a character who is clearly a parody of Phil Spector who goes on a murderous shooting rampage at his fabulous LA beach estate, and shoots a nublie starlet in the face - exactly like the real Phil Spector would do three decades later.

And, in a famous case of the pot calling the kettle black, just in case anyone didn’t know, take a gander at the writer.

I recommend watching these, particular the first one, in conjuction with Plan 9 From Outer Space–it makes you appreciate what a wonderful ear for old fashioned, bad-movie dialog writer/director Larry Blamire has.

Zero Hour was so bad they made a remake of of it that is one of the comedy greats. Airplane.

They Live!

Plot that made utterly no sense and acting that was even worse(seriously who thought having Rowdy Roddy Piper as the hero was a good idea) but some great visual moments and anyone who didn’t cheer at the line, “I’m hear to chew bubblegum and kick ass and I’m all out of bubblegum” lacks a soul.

Oh, I totally forgot Dead Heat!

Horrible movie, but a blast to watch.

I strongly concur with these opinions.

Tremors was a movie that did everything right. You could use Tremors in a film class as an example of how to make a good movie.

Not sure they’d really go all the way around from Bad to Good, but two little films I like;

Cast a Deadly Spell Fred Ward, Clancy Brown, David Warner. I love when Clancy’s dim buld character is asked why he’s helping the bad guy (Warner) and he just smiles and says “I get to be King of the World”. Then Warner’s bad guy says “Yes, it will be a ruined, blasted world, but you’ll be the most important thing on it.” and Clancy keeps smiling, oblivious to what he’s just been told.

Masters of Menace Spectacularly bad, but lots of fun little scenes and cameos.
