OT: Favorite “bad movies”

This is more stuff that I loved when I was a kid but:

Old School Godzilla movies. Vs Smog Monster, Vs Mecha Godzilla etc.

Old School Kung Fu theatre.
 
Not a specific movie but either the original Mystery Science Theater or the one currently on Netflix are great. The premise is this guy Joel was sentenced to watch rally bad movies and he made some robot friends who proceed to make witty remarks throughout each movie. Really clever!

The movie Roadhouse surfaced in Knight Shift’s Michigan State Haiku thread and it got me thinking about my favorite “bad movies.” Movies that are so bad they are good; movies we watch over and over even though we know they are terrible. Secret guilty pleasures. Roadhouse would make my top five, but off the top of my head the winner would be The Replacements with Keanu Reeves. Any other nominations?


The Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis

Some Like It Hot with Curtis, Lemon and Monroe
 
If your looking for something seasonal, Silent Night Deadly Night. Forget all the sequels, in can't anymore absurdly funny than the original serial killing Store Santa. Drink liberally....

Just thought of another fave but I don't know if it fits in this category: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension. I can't decide if this is a great bad movie I can't help but watch, or actually a pretty decent movie. It certainly was bizzare. The cast was good:

Peter Weller, Lohn Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Hedeya.

I would welcome the opinion of anyone who has seen this movie as to where it falls: Great bad movie or decent flick.

Good (bad) choices.
I'm going to add 'Lair of the White Worm'. Obscure one directed by Ken Russell, who directed the weird film version of Tommy.
Which is another choice. (Think Ann Margret and baked beans!)
 
Some of the rest of you are crazy. Johnny Dangerously: great. The Longest Yard: great. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka: great. Bill and Ted: good,not great.

I had to stop reading. If anyone listed Joe Dirt, I will punch you in the throat.

No, No, NO!
This movie is awesome! "Snatch is a bad movie" said nobody EVER. The dialogue alone in this movie was worth its weight in gold.

"Who took the jam out of your doughnut?"
"You took the ****ing jam out of my doughnut. You did."
"You said get a good deal."
"I fail to recognize the correlation between losing ten grand, hospitalizing Gorgeous George, and a good deal."

Just thought of another fave but I don't know if it fits in this category: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension. I can't decide if this is a great bad movie I can't help but watch, or actually a pretty decent movie. It certainly was bizzare. The cast was good:

Peter Weller, Lohn Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Hedeya.

I would welcome the opinion of anyone who has seen this movie as to where it falls: Great bad movie or decent flick.
The very definition of a "cult classic."

No, No, NO!
This movie is awesome! "Snatch is a bad movie" said nobody EVER. The dialogue alone in this movie was worth its weight in gold.

"Who took the jam out of your doughnut?"
"You took the ****ing jam out of my doughnut. You did."
"You said get a good deal."
"I fail to recognize the correlation between losing ten grand, hospitalizing Gorgeous George, and a good deal."
The way this was working is....it's so bad - It's great. I agree with you about the dialogue. Snatch and Collateral have killer dialogue.
 
Car Wash
Groove Tube

I cant put the original Red Dawn on my list because I consider that a cinematic masterpiece

Two of my favorites here; Red Dawn and The Groove Tube. The opening sketch in Groove Tube with Curtis Mayfield singing Move On Up in the background is great!!!!!
 
hmm.. Lake Placid.. wow.. you may have nailed it.. what should be a bad movie that is actually good... you know what.. maybe I was wrong (above) about Night Shift and 5th Element.. nah.. just because the premise is odd or simple or fluff.. that doesn't make the movie "bad"... the cast can make the movie even when everything else is "bad".. the movie is still good.

Lake Placid is a good movie. Anaconda.. not so much.

If we tweak the OP to mean "guilty pleasure" movies.. I would add something from the 80s "starring" Gary Busey and Annette O'Toole.. "Foolin' Around"... it should be bad.. but its good.

I added the following and then re-thought it.. there has to be a level of "bad" movies above the "worst" movies. But I will leave it here for completeness...

******************
Check the list of all-time bad movies.. if you have a favorite there you are in safe territory.. example: heavens Gate.. I like it. I see Showgirls has already made the list and Striptease is probably on deck for someone.

If you like any movie made about a video game... that probably belongs in this thread.

Here's a wiki list of the worst movies from each decade


Fitting that almost all from the 50's, 60's and 70's have been done by MST3K or Rifftrax.
 
Not a specific movie but either the original Mystery Science Theater or the one currently on Netflix are great. The premise is this guy Joel was sentenced to watch rally bad movies and he made some robot friends who proceed to make witty remarks throughout each movie. Really clever!

Not to get into a whole MST3K discussion but the Mike Nelson years (second half of season 5 thru season 10) are way better then the Joel ones. If you've never seen the original MST3K pop some of these on Youtube, give it a little time and you'll laugh your ass off.

Time Chasers
Space Mutiny
A Touch of Satan
Final Sacrifice
Girl in Gold Boots
Beginning of the End
Attack of the Giant Spiders

A couple totally unwatchable movies from the 70's.

Aloha Bobby and Rose
Tidal Wave (1973 version)
Bobby Deerfield (with Pacino).

Another terrible Pacino movie: Cruising

Saw most of these at the Fox Theater on Route 22 in Union next to Two Guys.
 
Tango and Cash. The great thing about that movie was that Stallone and Kurt Russell acted like they knew they were in a bad movie. I'm not so sure the rest of the cast, including Jack Palance, knew they were in a bad movie.

I wouldn't call it a favorite bad movie , but "Massacre At Central High", a 1970s flick I saw on The Movie Channel in the early 80s stuck with me ever since and is sadly prophetic of our revenge through mass death era. I would put that one in a category of "Movies That Wouldn't Be Made Today".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_at_Central_High

Someone had listed "The Cook, The Thief, The Wife and His Lover". I would put that in a "Most Disturbing Movies" category. That was a hard movie to sit through and I saw people walk out on that flick. I did too about halfway through.

if we can list movies that got mediocre reviews, never made a big splash, let me
suggest "three o'clock high"...... it is/was one of my favorite movies with some
funny to me, scenes..... a simple story of a day at a high school where the new
student, a bully, wants to fight a nerdy guy at the end of the school day.....

"Right in the family jewels"

In a "bad" movie thread?

This is one of the greatest movies of all time!

Anthony Michael Hall is the greatest comedic child/young adult actor of my generation. In this movie he carries one of the funniest moments ever set to film in the bar scene.

Bad movie?... Bad movie? Sir, you and I will fist fight over this post if we ever meet.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
 
He’s absolutely terrible. Never found a single thing he’s done funny.

If you watched Step-Brothers and/or Talladega Nights and never even cracked a smile I think I might actually feel sorry for you.
 
Good to know. To tell you the truth, I don't know all that many people who have seen it. But I have made up for it with the number of times I have watchd it. :)
I've seen Bukaroo a lot of times. It's just one of those movies I have to watch when on, like a fly drawn to a light. It's friggin weird as hell though.

Fargo was nominated for multiple academy awards, but got juiced out by
"the english patient".... most thought this was a travesty
Siskel and Ebert thought it was one of the best films ever made

it would be hard to put this in the bad category

disagree also with Predator....... rated 4 stars by some reviewers
Agree with Siskel and Ebert. Also thought Predator was great.
 
The movie Roadhouse surfaced in Knight Shift’s Michigan State Haiku thread and it got me thinking about my favorite “bad movies.” Movies that are so bad they are good; movies we watch over and over even though we know they are terrible. Secret guilty pleasures. Roadhouse would make my top five, but off the top of my head the winner would be The Replacements with Keanu Reeves. Any other nominations?
My first rule of filmmaking always was, if you want a mediocre movie to be good, a good movie to be better, and a shit movie to be great put Patrick Swayze in it. The Swayzemonster was the best.
