I nominate a movie nobody but my brother and myself seem to have ever heard of : [Terrorvision](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3gWW_LvuAYw), starring that kid who played Tommy Westphal. ---

[Mitchell.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_(film)) A movie so bad that even MST3K couldn’t make it watchable. ---

[Heartbeeps](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082507/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) - Andy Kaufman & Bernadette Peters star as robots who fail in love and run away to start a family of their own. [Rabbit Test](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078133/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) - Billy Crystal stars in Joan Rivers’ filmmaking debut as the world’s first pregnant man. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > [Rabbit Test](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078133/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) - Billy Crystal stars in Joan Rivers’ filmmaking debut as the world’s first pregnant man. _Rabbit Test_ was Rivers’ first (and only) movie as a director. But she had written a movie before this: _[The Girl Most Likely to…](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_Most_Likely_to...)_ which was surprisingly good. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > **Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.** A serious attempt to make a bad movie. That fails. > > If you set out to fail, and you don’t succeed…what have you done? I vote for this one. Although it’s funny enough that it might not qualify for worst of the worst. A movie with Bill Maher as a jungle guide? Adrienne Barbeau as a psychologist gone native, leading savage women cannibals? ---

[Robot Monster](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046248/?ref_=nv_sr_1) - the most hilariously awful movie I’ve ever seen. Some movies aren’t so bad they’re good - they’re just bad. I’d put [Santa Claus Conquers the Martians](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058548/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1) in this category. ---

Wait, this is a thread about BAD bad movies, right? Party killers? How is Student Bodies listed here? I’ll agree about, “Mitchell”, except Joel and the bots DID make it watchable. It’s one of my favs. I’m notorious in my small circle of friends for my love of bad movies, so I’m rather disappointed I can’t contribute any new ones. Maybe because I avoid the truly bad ones, or forget them quickly. I’ll back, “Eraserhead”, “The Room”, “Manos-the Hand of Fate” (THERE’S a movie Joel and the Bots couldn’t save - almost), and of course, “The Star Wars Holiday Special”. Wow, now there’s a film festival to slit wrists by. ---

Man, I’m getting old. Used to be, I could come up with a laundry list of applicable bad movies, just off the top of my head. Now it’s all a bit cold and fuzzy. ☹ Well, in any case, I do have…[_Pulgasari_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCKSR0JArUQ)! It’s basically a North Korean Godzilla knockoff propaganda film. Directed by a guy Kim Jong-Ill had kidnapped to make movies for the glorious DPRK. Some elements of the plot are suspiciously similar to Star Wars. ---
