Jim Henson’s “The Dark Crystal”
Craptacular Muppets :rolleyes:

Walter “Checkov” Koenig battles moon robot/zombies.
I watch Independence Day every chance I get (which is a lot), and even I know it sucks.
I understand why a lot of people didn’t like Green Lantern. And I agree that it could have been better. But I liked it.
I had no complaints about the casting or the SFX, although I wasn’t crazy about the CGI costume. I thought the script was flawed, but not irredeemably so. It was a fun film, especially compared to the dismal Dark Knight and Man of Steel
Add me to the list of Plan Nine and Last Action Hero fans, too.
Oh, that’s a great one. Speaking of aliens, what about Men In Black? Does that count as a “bad” movie too?
If Idiocracy counts, that one gets my vote. “Welcome to Costco. I love you. Welcome to Costco. I love you.”
Good choice. I’m partial to Armageddon as well.
I though John Carter was a perfectly good ‘B’ grade adventure film. The production design was great - those Martian flyers with the adjustable wings and interleaving metal ‘feathers’ were superb.
The biggest issue I had with it was Taylor Kitsch in the lead role. He was just dull.
I wanted to like it, but I have grown tired of reluctant hero types who gripe and moan and then finally seize their destiny at the end of the movie. Green Lantern’s alternate title could have been *Smarmy Whining Dillhole Who Becomes A Green Lantern At The Very End Of The Movie, But There’s Lots Of Cool CGI In The Meantime.

I’ll get in the wayback machine for this one,Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band, with the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and George Burns.
As a little Mexican girl in 70’s Vegas, it was my first exposure to The Beatles. Funny part was that I didn’t know it was the Beatles (or the Bee Gees singing, for that matter), I just knew that I loved the lyrics and music.
And Alice!
For me, it’d be Little Darlings. What’s not to like about two girls racing to lose their virginity? Soooooo 70s and Matt Dillon was so smoldering back then. Made me wish I’d gone to summer camp.
“Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” was a parody of “Jaws”, which had come out a couple years earlier.
Anyone remember “Night Flight”, the weekend overnight show on the USA Network in the 1980s and early 1990s? They regularly showed an ultra-low-budget student-made movie called “I Was A Zombie For The FBI”. Its plot? “Aliens steal the formula for a popular soft drink.” And that was about it.
The movie was made in grainy B&W, and while the clothing and hair styles were all from the early 1980s when the movie was made, all the cars were from the 1950s. 
And since I mentioned ZZ Top in an earlier post, anyone remember the video for their song “TV Dinners”, which featured a gargoyle busting out of a TV dinner with a foil wrapper? That was the alien in this movie.
Point Break.
A pretty good score including Concrete Blonde. Lots of good looking people and I like the camera work and action.
Pretty quotable too.
Night Flight was a rich source of bad movies and general weirdness, back in the day. I miss it. I miss late movies, for that matter.
Future generations will not grow nostalgic for old informercials.
Ice Pirates is a great bad movie.
Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fey is, as the name suggests, a lesbian sexplotation horror movie from the 70s, but it’s actually pretty good even beyond the hot lesbians making out aspect.
Please view Nick Cage in Drive Angry. Look at it as a parody of non-stop, “death by various weapons, fights, car chases, hot cars/babes, re-animation, devil-worship”.
I love both BAD Robin Hood movies. Men in tights with the semi-paralyzed Robin and the Kevin Costner/Morgan Freeman Prince of Thieves one. Alan Rickman steals all the best lines as the Sheriff and you have Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Marian. Costner is “wonderfully wooden”.
I have two copies of this, both VHS, one I bought from an old Fantastic Four fan site, and the other I won in a FF 40th Anniversary contest in 2001. If that is not a testament to how the FF will always be my top comic book poison (with all that’s Asgard/Journey Into Mystery right behind it), I don’t know what is.
It’s honestly scary to think that the Corman FF film will most likely go down as the best one ever made with Marvel’s First Family. Unlike all of the actually released FF cinema thus far AND especially to come, the Corman offering did stay somewhat true to the source material. That and the fact that at least I feel the actors, especially those portraying Reed and Co., did their best with what they were given made the movie surprisingly watchable and, dare I say, decent.
Over the last couple of years, there have been some rumblings of a documentary about the making of the Corman FF called Doomed. I really hope that the project has not been put on permanent hiatus, because I think such an inside look would actually be quite interesting, as well as be a golden opportunity for an official/non-bootleg DVD release of the movie.
Flesh Gordon
Yeah, I understand that was really bad, but I was enjoying it too much to care.
YES! This blue bleeding-heart still can’t resist FIGHTING THOSE DAMN EVIL INVADER COMMERNISTS!
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. Silly in the extreme, but also wonderful wish fulfillment for the 7 year old inside me that wants my political heroes to be superheroes.
And the book actually makes (as unsubtle, and punch-you-in-the-face as it is) a great metaphor about slavery and vampirism. But this isn’t about the book. The movie was SO AWESOME.
Clambake
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
The Black Hole
Yep. It featured the last appearance of horror legend (and mainstream legend, for that matter) John Carradine. His arthritis was so bad he couldn’t move his hands, but he still stole the scenes he was in.
My favorite bad movie is The Ten Commandments with Charleton Heston. I consider it bad because the costuming is awful, the overacting atrocious, and the embellishments to the basic story laughable. John Derek (Joshua) is the worst of a bad lot of scenery chewers.
I always take a front row seat when it comes around every Easter/Passover.
Yes, that one’s on my “watch it when it’s on” (which is also quite often) list as well. I think Steve Buscemi steals every scene he’s in. And I love the idea that they needed a multi-barrel machine gun to atack an asteroid.
