What’s your favorite bad movie?
My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers and hackers so something in that vein would be fun.
What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?
Edit: I have been corrected: hackers is a great movie. I'm sorry everyone.
Velocipastor
Wait what??? Some kind of gene experimenting gone wrong?
Came to say this, you beat me to it. Definitely The VelociPastor!
Yea! She hasn’t seen that one so I’ll run it by her.
Oh God. Prepare yourself for a confusing alien nightmare. The acting isn't so much bad as surreal.
I honestly can't imagine any movie being as perfectly terrible as The Room. It gets even better when you start to look into the director/lead actor/writer/producer, Tommy Wiseau. I'm fully convinced that he's either D.B. Cooper or an alien. Maybe both.
The original Mortal Kombat movie.
That is a great movie.
If you want a shitty fight movie watch the Street Fighter movie. Van Damme, Kylie Mongue, and the dad in Addams family...I mean what more do you want.
For me it’s so bad that it’s good.
That MK sound track still gets me hype.
What about Streetfighter?
How dare you call hackers terrible.
HACK THE PLANET!
Lol true. It’s actually one of my wife’s favorites!
Lol true. It’s actually one of my wife’s favorites!
Hudson Hawk. Goofy heist movie with Bruce Willis who plays a cat burglar who is hired by a rich dude to steal several pieces of art which contain the secret to transmuting lead into gold.
Bunny!... Ball, Ball!
Waterworld. It's so terrible but at the same time I love it.
Dry land is not a myth!
I might be a little too basic, but I'm sticking with Sharknado
Down Periscope
It's awful and the jokes are terrible but at the end of the day, so endearing.
It's hard to pick out a "good" bad movie. It's perfectly fine for a movie to not be groundbreaking, but just really entertaining. Doesn't make it bad.
So Down Periscope is a great movie.
Moonfall. So where to start...
It was a big budget action flick, with sci-fi mixed in. Now don't get me wrong, I can suspend my disbelief just fine - you want to tell me that a zombie can rip a mountain in two, so be it. But the scientist in me just couldn't get past a couple things. It's an absolute blast of a movie, with great visuals. Mild spoilers below.
They successfully hide from gravity behind a concrete barrier. A space shuttle launches from the ground through a tsunami (literally in the water). Just absolutely bonkers. But so, so fun.
How shitty are we talking? Because there's, like, Super Mario Bros. (1993), which is a movie I liked that most people didn't, and then there's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964), or The Corpse Grinders (1971), which I had fun watching but are actually terrible movies.
Those are all great suggestions. Super Mario Bros. is a classic!
Manos the Hands of Fate. Better with MST3K or Rifftrax commentary.
That's a classic!
Hackers! i never saw it as a kid but my wife decided to go see it on a whim when there was a showing for the 20th anniversary and we immediately fell in love with it. It's simultaneously terrible and brilliant at the same time. we now watch it every couple months. HACK THE PLANET!
edit: i should probably fully read the original post before commenting
It's one of my wife's favorites! We actually decided we're going to rewatch it tonight for like the 15th time.
Kung Pow. It's so bad it loops back to being good.
They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.
Easily troll 2
Yes, I see your edit.
But I'm still angry. I will try to forgive you but it's gonna take work.
Mess with the best, die like the rest. amirite?
Hack the Planet!
Probably Sucker Punch. Has nothing to do with a crush I may or may not have on Jena Malone, and exclusively to do with the straight-played, over-the-top ridiculousness of the entire film.
Rubber - A sentient tire rolls around causing destruction.
Iron Sky - Moon Nazis
An absolute GEM of is Dead Alive from Peter Jackson. Just incredibly bonkers and the goriest movie ever made (lawnmowers ftw). Highly recommend it for 80s campy fun.
Top secret with val kilmer
Kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer are also good.
I'm sorry to post off your comment but there's no icon I can find to comment on the main thread in Jerboa.
But, we just watched Die Heart. It was just silly and fun.
It looks like a speech bubble with three dots inside it, to the right of the like/dislike buttons at the bottom of the post.
Yes, i have that under each comment, but not the main thread.
The Day After Tomorrow. It is exquisitely bad. In the third act, they run out of ways to make weather the bad guy and randomly drop in a pack of wolves to attack everyone. It’s a hilariously entertaining disaster movie
Titanic 2
The 90's version of Island of Doctor Moreau is absolutely fucking terrible, and absolutely fucking fantastic. The story behind its production is also really wild and there's a documentary about it called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau that I can recommend.
Kurt Russell's Soldier is also one of my favorite bad movies
Samurai Cop (1991) This movie is just so incredibly bad, it's fantastic !
If I like it, it's not terrible (plus I agree with /u/netburnr).
That said: G.O.R.A. and Accion Mutante are great campy Sci-Fi movies. The latter is a bit more gory.
Damn, forgot about G.O.R.A . That movie is hilarious!
It's an enjoyable movie, I'll admit. I like watching it for its campiness.
In the same vein, Star Crash is one of my terrible favorites. With David Hasselhoff and a guy that stole the hair from David Hasselhoff.
Fukushima 50 - the overacting was hilarious at times. Knowing it's based on a real story I felt bad at times for laughing so much.
Army of Darkness (1992)
Wrong! This is obviously a masterpiece
new neil breen film should be dropping soon so i'm holding out for that
what a new one? is there a release date yet? is it another guy spoils the governments plan with throwing books against laptops? is it twisted pair 2? it's a magical day the sequel? i can't believe she commited suicide? can't wait to torture my friends with his newest creation!
Cade: The Tortured Crossing
he's currently running some strange gamut of film festivals, think it'll be about in the next few months. not having how he ai quantum shits and cums all over the corrupt politicians spoiled (he's terminator btw)
Of course, any neill Breen movie will be gold
Check out Dracula 3000 if you are looking to laugh at a vampire horror movie featuring Coolio in space.
House Shark is a cinematic masterpiece and I'd watch it again anytime
I love trash! Even though I love these movies, I feel most would label them as terrible. I would also recommend any of these movies if you haven't seen them.
Three movies from S. Craig Zahler
Extra Trash
Any of the Twilight movies.
Ok, now if you are looking for a movie that is all style and low on substance, may I suggest: Repo! The Genetic Opera.
It’s a very 2000’s rock opera with pretty good visuals. It’s got a really fun vibe and very goth aesthetics. There isn’t much depth but you will probably be signing along by the end of it. REEEEEEPO MAN! REEEEPO man!
The "Assassin's Creed" movie
Big Trouble in Little China
Dollman is a classic
"Evil alien conquerors", it even has its own theme song!
Obvious answer has to be The Room.
But I also love to watch mindless action movies which are by definition usually fairly shitty. Disaster movies, even better.
Rewatched Skyscraper with Dwayne The Rock Johnson recently and it was exactly as ridiculous as I remembered it being.
Tremors and Tremors 2
Franklyn (2008). I love Eva Green and the Steampunk vibes at the beginning.
Does Robogeisha count? A robot chops a building and the building bleeds, and I don't know if that counts as "bad" or "transcendent human experience".
Trailer, for the curious.
Maybe not favorite, but Zombie Strippers was a lot better than it should have been. They should have also kept the deleted scenes, like the stripper logic.
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4
Troll 2 is S-tier
And The Room followed by a watch of The Disaster Artist
Rapsittie street boys
Plan 9 From Outer Space redefined bad movies for me. It's inexcusably bad. Many bad movies are really just doing the best they can with the skills of the cast and crew. But the filmmakers of Plan 9 From Outer Space just keep making decisions that are so much worse than they have to be. It's amazing to watch.
Any of the Death Races but the old one "Death Race 2000" is so awful it's great again.
Roller Boogie - 1979
The Emoji Movie.
I loved Jason X. When I saw it on scifi as a kid and when I watched it again as an adult.
anything neil breen did. especially twisted pair.
Fateful Findings is my favorite, Neil Breen is the best worst director ever.
Spaceballs
Switch from suck.... to BLOW
