Some movies are so bad, they are fun

Miles and Miles.

:grinning:

It’s a British film, so maybe that should be kilometers and kilometers.

Is this the only movie with herds of rampaging rabbits? But they’re so cute and fluffy!

Malignant is one of my favorite bad movies. It’s bad in almost every possible way, but it’s the only movie I’ve ever seen that I thought was an instant cult classic.

I disagree on The Fifth Element. How is it a bad movie? If you’re expecting Oscar material, maybe it doesn’t measure up, but for the kind of movie it is, it’s good.

No, it’s not a good movie; it’s a great movie. One of my favorites.

My nomination for the thread; The Prophecy, a 1995 thriller about a war in heaven.

I think seriously, The Prophecy is a genuinely good film. Vigo’s portrayal of Satan is one of the best ever captured on film.

Sharknado was fun. At least the first one.

I thought the first one was mostly terrible. The guy portraying a Tasmanian was unbelievable in the role- I later learned he was actually from Tasmania.

Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues is just as bad, and just as fun. The MST3K version is one of my all time favorites.

I remember in Babylon 5 I read a comment from a so called fan who complained about the accent of President Clark’s successor, who was supposed to be Russian. She was Ukrainian.

I was flipping channels one Sunday afternoon when my brother came in and asked what’s on TV. I said “Oh, there’s some stupid horror movie on channel 9.”

He said “Put it on,” so I did.

We watched for about ten seconds before he said “You turned this off?!? What are you, out of your mind?!?”

The movie was Billy the Kid vs Dracula, starring John Carradine as the Count and featuring Virginia “Mrs Olsen” Christine as “Eva,” an immigrant of dubious ethnicity. It’s a hoot!

Quentin Tarantino’s and Robert Rodriguez’s Grindhouse double feature (Death proof and Planet Terror) is a brilliant homage to terrible movies. I love them both.

This is a good move. It is precisely what it wants to be: Superficially ridiculous, funny, and possessing some philosophical depth in its meditations on identity, friendship, and being forgotten and left to die somewhere.

Korben Dallas Multipass!

My nomination is Jaws 3-D. It is just so bad. I bought it on Blu-Ray.

Some bad movies I have enjoyed:

The Fountainhead (1949)

Devil Girl from Mars (1954)

The Brain form Planet Arous (1957)

Untamed Youth (1957)

Reptilicus (1961)

The Brain that Wouldn’t Die (1962)

Journey to the Seventh Planet (1962) - Uranus!

Walk on the Wild Side (1962)

The Atomic Brain a.k.a. Monstrosity (1963)

Kitten with a Whip (1964)

The Wild, Wild Planet (1966)

The X from Outer Space (1967)

Candy (1968)

Latitude Zero (1969) - Possibly the most entertaining film ever made

Star Crash (1978)

The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984)

Lair of the White Worm (1988)

Salome’s Last Dance (1988)

Legend of Liquid Sword (1993)

Anaconda (1997) - John Voight is regurgitated by a giant CG-snake: that’s entertainment!

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is “bad” on purpose, and it’s a hoot.

They Saved Hitler’s Brain, aka Madmen of Mandoras. Nazi scientists south of the border keep the Fuhrer’s head alive in a glass box. Shot in the late 1950s, an additional ten minutes with a team of secret agents was tacked on in the '60s to cash in on the spy craze.

Eaten Alive. An inn in the bayou is run by a psychopath who keeps an alligator that devours guests. Carolyn Jones of Addams Family fame has a cameo as the madam of a nearby brothel.

Ooo, I just remembered a good one. Caveman, with Ringo Starr. I actually liked it and it is obvious it did not take itself seriously.

Loved the T Rex that got high.

I’ve been waiting to see if anyone mentions Motel Hell (1980). Ever wonder what goes into making sausage? So campy and stupid, but it has a 6.0 rating on IMDB, which isn’t all that bad.

Is that the one where people were buried and fed through a funnel?

Wait, it’s got this far without anyone mentioning Troll 2. Surely the gold standard of “so bad it’s good” horror films.

Yes, as in they have meat growing in the garden out back.
