Movies that are so bad that they are good.

[Cuchulainn]

Is Beastmaster considered a bad movie?

I loved watching that one on HBO (over and over and over) as a kid.

It didn't hurt that Tanya Roberts was smokin' hot and semi-nekkid.

[Vattnisse]

Dolemite!

Nah, that's just bad...

Oh my god, UHF is one of the gretaest bad movies ever! Its hilarious!

I also have to nominate Planet Terror, but it was intentionally bad, so I dunno if it counts. Also, I find myself transfixed by anything from Troma Films, I have to watch it, no matter how horrible. (Preacher Man, Hollywood ZAP, Class Of Nuke em High, etc.) And a huge +1 to the Evil Dead series. Oh, and i also have to add Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. Ive just now realized how many bad(yet good) movies Ive seen.

(Also Doom Generation! WooHoo!)

troma rocks! we used to have parties back in high school just to watch troma movies

I wouldn't have guessed. I've yet to see it.

I regard any old Godzilla movie as bad, yet somehow good.

What'd you think of the Matthew Broderick remake?

I'll have to disagree on this one. Remo isn't a movie that's so bad that it's good.

It is a movie that is so awesome that only a miniscule percentage of the world population has the psychological fortitude to behold it.

I like the Broderick movie, but then again I don't look at it as a remake. Instead I mentally change the title to "Operation: Godzilla".

A giant lizard attacks New York. The US military attempts to stop the rampaging of the monster in an operation they have dubbed "Godzilla" after the movie monster. Will they succeed?

When I look at it like that, it isn't so intolerable. Still the female lead in the movie needs to be fed to the monsters. She is the absolute worst part of the film.

Hahahah! I forgot about that one...

I have to toss Sinbad of the Seven Seas into the ring. It is Lou Ferrigno at his level best. So awful, yet I have owned it on VHS until it wore out and snapped it up on DVD in 2005.

-A Chinese samurai wearing Keds....check
-An over-acted main villain...check
-Lou taking a time-out before battle to undulate his pecks...double check
-Corrective voice-overs for Lou's adorable speach impediment...check
-Diapers required for the superb hilarity and stilted line delivery?...super check

Ooooo yea, I loved Feast, but I never saw the others :(

[TheChozyn]

Take Feast... push the bar up a bit and that's feast 2&3... more camp, more random gore, and more well... you'll just have to watch.

The movie that proved that eastern Europe just has gymnastic equipment stashed around the countryside at random? How could you not get guilty pleasure from watching it?

[David Fryer]

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Terror Comes To Tinytown yet. I mean come on it's a singing cowboy flick made by little people.

[TheChozyn]

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but The Last Dragon...

Sho'Nuff

Bruce Leroy

An actor/singer that this was supposed to launch her career, but didn't

My wife casts her absentee vote for this movie. It's her favorite next to Tropic Thunder(which doesn't belong on this list I don't think).

Okay, yeah, it belongs on this list. Space herpes FTW!!!!!

[Mistral]

The Beyond (Fulci)

Inferno (Argento) or more recent Mother of Tears (Argento)

Bad Taste!! (Peter Jackson)

[Cuchulainn]

I met Michael Roberts (the sidekick who built Buford) years ago. He was a very down-to-earth guy. I'm sure he got tired of us asking him Ice Pirates-related questions, though.

Of course, it beats being remembered as Rain Man's friend, Vern.

That movie was largely improved upon by the animated series that followed it. The fact that the animated series had homages to many of the old Godzilla movies helped a lot.

Godzilla: the series

[Xuttah]

I think the movie was called Black Sheep. It's set in New Zealand and involves carnivorous mutant sheep. I actually got a kick out of it.

Just watched it again a couple of days ago. That is Ron Perlman in it, and he looks ... tiny (well average compared to most of the people). It was like watching a mini-Ron, the other guys in that movie all must have been fairly tall themselves.

How about the movie C.H.U.D. (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers)?

Apparently someone thought it was a how-to flick.

Cool we have a massive list of the Best of the Bad.

I have a challenge - We pick a movie a fortnight from this thread and then watch and discuss it at the end of the two weeks.

Kinda like one of those high faluting book clubs.

Anybody interested?

OH YES. I have seen about 2 movies on this whole thread, and most of them by accident. Since I'm going to watch them anyway, I might as well talk aboot it.

Yeah, I think that's why I liked it so much too. :)

ROTLD was always a favorite since I'm a huge fan of the zombie genre, and I live in Louisville!
