So Bad, They're Good (1 Viewer)

[Paul>Wh]

What about the not released Rocket Man. This is one of the funniest and worst movies ever made. People look at me strange when I try to tell them about it.

Polish Vampire in Burbank.


the lowest movie I've ever seen. certainly not a 'good movie' but it had some things that have stuck with me all these years since I first saw it...

like the creative use of a skeleton from a med school, the queer-wolf (he turns gay during a full moon), a fraidy-cat vampire and the concept of a vampire clan in the heart of the san fernando valley.

has to be seen to be believed.

Sorority House Massacre 2?

My ex hated horror movies, so when I told her to pick one up, she got that.

Some how they managed to get all the girls in separate nude scenes. And no kidding, you see a ketchup bottle spray blood on the wall in the corner of the picture. It's so funny because it is the worst put together film I have ever seen. Terrible direction, terrible acting, but extremely funny.

Can't Stop the Music

The first (and only) big-budget, widescreen Musical starring Village People, Bruce Jenner and Steve Guttenberg.

I once saw this film described as the "gayest film ever to pretend not to be Gay." They weren't lying. This is the best party film of all time. Anchor Bay released this last year. It belongs in any self-respecting trash maven's collection. Heck, I own the movie poster! Did I mention that it was directed by Nancy Walker (Bounty Lady, Rhoda's Mom)?

One word: CHUD!!!!!

 

[EdHoch]

Flash! AH-Ahhhhhh! Gordon - the epitome of so bad it's good...

"Flash! I love you! but we only have 14 hours to save the earth!"

That line is almost as bad as "I don't like sand...it's rough, and irritating, and gets everywhere...not like you...you're everything smooth...."

"shudder" that's just bad...

 

[Matt Stone]

"shudder" that's just bad...

Yah...and it's also the line. I'm pretty sure everytime I've seen the sand line from E2 picked on, it's been misquoted.

It's still a bad line...but no one ever seems to get it right

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Robot Monster

i can't believe no one's mentioned these two yet...

Most of my DVD collection fits this category, since I love the sci-fi/horror B-films of the 1950s. Low budgets, scripts written by people who apparently never had a date in their lives, cheesy effects, and often-poor acting combine to create movies that I find irresistable.

Topping the list: The Brain That Wouldn't Die! Absolutely deplorable film, but it's got a mad scientist who saves his girlfriend's head, a disfigured lab assistant, a mutant in a closet and hookers...in other words, just about everything you could want in such a film...wrapped up in production values that you could purchase with a credit card, and I don't mean a Gold or Platinum card, either, but that first one they give you when you start college. The one special effect is the table holding the girlfriend's living head, a magician-type table with mirrors so that you can see people's legs when they walk behind it, which means, of course, that action must be staged so that somebody walks behind the table whenever possible. The end title, BTW, calls the film "The Head That Wouldn't Die." I love it!

All of Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, his wooden acting never cease to crack me up, but Double Team has the added bonus of Dennis Rodman, Mickey Rourke and bad basketball jokes.

 

[Kevin M]

In minor defense of Flash Gordon(1980) I would like to point out that the filmmakers and screenwriters were trying to make it as camp as possible, you do realize that right?

 

[EdHoch]

So Matt,

Did I get it right? The EpII sand line? I was writing it from memory...sorry if I goofed it up...

and yes Kevin, I'm well aware that the camp in Flash was intentional.

 

[Philip_T]

Hardbodies Remains one of my favorite 80's T&A classics. Definately a guilty pleasure.

I also agree with Real Men "Happy Pie??????"

...and of course, The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Damn, someone already took Jaws 3D. That movie is cheese at its finest. now, for my submissions:

Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo
See break dancing at its worst.
Bonus: Ice-T in a early starring role

North Shore
Enough of that WB and MTV crap. THIS is the surfing entertainment to watch!
Bonus: Gawk at how hot Nia Peeples was

Gleaming the Cube
Christian Slater before he became the 24/7 Jack Nicholson impersonator. Also, when I first saw this flick, I didn't realize that the brother was adopted, so I thought that maybe Slater's mother had boffed the milkman or something.
Bonus: Marvel at how Steven Bauer went from Scarface to this in a matter of six years

Xanadu
The best space-inspired roller skating disco movie starring Gene Kelly EVER!
Bonus: After watching this, you will have all the benefits of taking LSD without those pesky flashbacks

Rad
Any chance you get to listen to "Send me and Angel" by Real Life, take. And this includes Teen Wolf 2. But see Rad first because it has the song synched up to the best slo-mo BMX trick show ever.
Bonus: Gawk at how hot Lori Lauglin was

Over the Top
The best movie about professional arm-wrestling ever made.
Bonus: The second best movie poster of all time

Cool as Ice
Can you believe that Vanilla Ice is a worst actor than he is a rapper? I never thought that it was possible
Bonus: Naomi Campbell does her best impression of the Model who wants to be an actress

Nowhere
Quite possibly the most unapologetically shitty movie ever made (except for maybe Brown Bunny, which I havent yet seen)
Bonus: A Who's Who of actors who had their 15-30 mins of fame. Shannon Doherty, Denise Richards, Rachel True, Christina Appelgate, Kathleen Robertson, Ryan Phillippe, Heather Graham, Scott Caan, Mena Suvari, Tracy Lords, Rose McGowan

As you may or may not be able to tell, I have a special place in my heart for 80's movies. That decade was simply the death of taste.Nowhere

 

[Kevin M]

and yes Kevin, I'm well aware that the camp in Flash was intentional

Well, my point is that since the camp and hokey/bad dialog in Flash Gordon was fully intended then it really doesn't qualify for what this thread is discussing, unintentionally hilarious films. I.E. films that are so bad that they are good because they don't realize that they are bad to begin with.
IMO Flash Gordon doesn't fit into that mold, it was as "Bad" as it wanted to be.

I think Flash Gordon wins the prize for me, regardless of whether the camp was intended or not.

FLASH!!!! Ahah!!!!

I could watch it over and over again...

Ed-

No doubt I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but now that I've seen Ep. II a zillion times, I think it's "...not like here. Here everything's smooth...", etc.

The first time or two I saw the movie I also thought it was "Not like you." "Here" is an improvement. A small one, but there you go.
