I love a bad movie but I could not handle Street Trash.

Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you'll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.

Any chance you follow The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs?

[–] mo_ztt 1 points 2 years ago

I do not, should I check it out?

[–] gourd 1 points 2 years ago

Oh man I loved Phantasm. I was blown away when I found out they made more than one.

[–] joshfaulkner 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but Cemetery Man is a bad movieβ€½ Maybe I need to broaden my definition, but I think it's great for all the right reasons! Is it gratuitous and gory? Sure. But bad?

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting, but here's what comes to mind:

  • Birdemic
  • Samurai Cop
  • Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don't see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Dead sushi and robo geisha

Joe Dirt!

It was so hilariously awful, I love it.

Don't really have a top list, but that's the one I always come up with when asked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I guess I don't really watch too many 'bad' movies because I don't have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.

But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
  • Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it's a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
  • Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
  • Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
  • Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock "masterpiece"
  • just... all of the American Ninja movies
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Within a few minutes of watching it I knew it was going to be awesomely bad, and it lived up to my expectations

Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey

I'm mostly just thrilled that Disney finally lost something to the public domain. (And, yes, I know it was acquired by Disney and not originally created by Disney.)

[–] pandarisu 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Disney finally lost something to the public domain.

I'm not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Good call. I didn't realize there were still places where the original works were still under copyright. But in retrospect, I should have thought of that possibility.

I suppose that makes Blood and Honey a pirate film, which is still good in my book. It'll be interesting to see if Disney decides to bring any legal cases in the UK or anything.

Zombeavers was pretty entertaining

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thankskilling is truly a gem!

[–] scorchingheat 2 points 2 years ago

The only possible answer is House of the Dead, followed by all other Uwe Boll movies.

Iron sky: for the moon Nazis, it does not take itself seriously and benefits greatly. Cockneys Vs Zombies: better than it has any right to be

Ah Frankenhooker, a certified Jim Glickenhaus classic!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I only have one, and it is 'Samurai Commando Mission 1549'

The japanese self defense force goes back in time to defend Japan against from... Also the japanese self defense force. The plot never makes any sense, nothing gets resolved. But it's glorious.

I am a fellow connoisseur of bad film here are some of my favorite

Show Girls - Everyone in this movie is a top flight actor or dancer, except the star who is awful at both

The Room - Duh

Troll 2 - Double Duh

Leprechaun 5 - takes blacksploitation to another level, this movie is a wild ride

Bangkok Dangerous - Nic Cage stars in a stereotypical action flick that veers sharply off a cliff when his then wife at the time randomly appears and makes it a love story. However, she didn't really speak English so they made her character a deaf mute.

There are a ton of awful softcore porns from the 90s, would be glad if someone could add to the list but I really like playmate of the apes

You probably already know of it.

Troll 2

Teeth - when the doctor says "vagina dentata" is hilarious and seared in my brain.

[–] ajoebyanyothername 2 points 2 years ago

That film is far funnier than it has any right to be. I also find it amusing towards the end where the guy that seemed nice wasn't, and her vagina teeth do their thing, she just seems mildly exasperated at the situation.

  • Miami Connection
  • Kiss of Death
  • The Room
  • Buckaroo Banzai
[–] Mithre 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely Siegfried and Roy: Masters of the Impossible. It's objectively bad, but me and my siblings loved it when we were growing up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Misread it first, it's about favorite bad movies. Let's start with the Expendables and let me think about it

[–] Lag 1 points 2 years ago

I only remember one for being so bad that it's good:

Superhero Movie
