Best Bad Movie you Enjoyed

[cuervo72]

Along the lines of our other movie threads, what movies did you enjoy despite them being "lacking" in plot, acting, etc? Generally a bad movie?

I'll throw one out there that I enjoyed when I was a little younger....The Man with One Red Shoe. Not one of Tom Hanks' finest (though it might have been one of Jim Belushi's ;) ), but one I enjoyed.

[Schmidty]

For some unknown reason I really like that cheesy 80's flick, "Some Kind of Wonderful". Pretty embarrassing.

[scooper]

I enjoyed Waterworld. But then I watched it for free from the comfort of my couch. I can see where paying $7 to see it would upset some.

[Samdari]

Coyote Ugly. Terrible, terrible, thoroughly enjoyable.

[KWhit]

I really like Bedazzled.

[Hands to the Face]

"It's a Wonderful Life" is one of my all-time favorites, but I consider it something of a guilty pleasure. It's all cheese and treacle, despite Jimmy Stewart's best efforts to provide his character with a bit more depth than the screenplay allows. Nevertheless, I watch it every year and come away satisfied. . .

[SplitPersonality1]

I been ridiculed for years because of my fondness for...

Howard the Duck

[Sloan]

Killer Klowns

Don't be. This is an AA type thread.

Hi, my name is Sam, and I own The Replacements on DVD.

[Marmel]

I like (and own) both the Replacements and Coyote Ugly. :)

Also, Miss Congeniality.

And, Nothing but Trouble.

[Franklinnoble]

Embrace of the Vampire

I didn't enjoy it so much as I just fast-forwarded through everything but the Alyssa Milano nude scenes.

[cuervo72]

I liked Miss Conginiality. Of course, I also enjoyed Speed and Demolition Man :)

[Coffee Warlord]

A lot of people ripped on it in the Bad Movie section, but dammit, I liked Gone in 60 Seconds.

Killer Klowns is just a classic B movie.

And if you want a realllllllly bad movie (technically speaking, pair of movie) that I kinda like.....

Warlock, and Warlock: Armageddon. Julian Sands rocks, dammit.

Hmm.....that sounds like it could make a good thread - best nude scenes in bad movies, or movies that you watched just for a nude scene :D

Ghostbusters II

The most enjoyable bad movie is very easy for me.

No Retreat, No Surrender

This is the funniest movie (unintentionally) EVER. If you havent seen it, watch it.

[the_meanstrosity]

Ugh...alright, I'll confess. A Knight's Tale. Shannyn Sossamon makes me all tingly.

[Anrhydeddu]

I guess this is where I have to put up The Mummy. But then again, I don't find that movie any different than Raiders, Indiana Jones 3, Romancing the Stone and other fun action/adventures.

I do have a "good" movie section on the shelf, but those are all my guilty pleasures.

You were one of the strip club girls who tried out as a cheerleader, weren't you?

That would be one fat dancer.

nah, I am just in a crowd scene. I was in Baltimore while they were filming part of the movie. Actually, I may be on the cutting room floor, but I like to think I made the final edit.

That's the football movie with Gene Hackman as the coach, right? Was that supposed to be a bad movie? I love that movie too! :D I love any movie about a misfit sports team that wins it all. Major League, The Replacements, Unnecessary Roughness, etc. Great stuff. :D

[Easy Mac]

Dude, Where's My Car

The Fast and the Furious

Howard the Duck

Best of Playboy, Part 4

And good god, Coyote Ugly was an exercise in Tedium, I really wanted to shoot myself. Why ruin a perfectly good "Hot girls dancing slutily" movie with a freaking love story? One of the biggest disappointments of my life.

[QuikSand]

I remember a throwaway bit with Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Jason leigh called Miami Blues. Don't know why it stuck with me so... it's not like it was a great film or anything. A few friends found it, and we all watched it several times - got to where we could memorize most of the damned thing.

"Ahh, de speedboat? De speedboat eez veddy expennnsive."

"Well... wrap it up."

[Franklinnoble]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's memorized dialogue from bad movies.

"Was that C-4?"

"Either that, or one hell of a factory recall."

But it did have the whold hot girls dancing sluttily element, and John Goodman, and that moment at the end, during the release party, where you say to yourself, "why did they put John Goodman in a female country singer outfit? OH MY GOD THAT'S LEANN RIMES!"

Did I mention the "looks like she's 12" Piper Perabo in a thong?

All that's missing here is Keanu Reeves leading these slutty girls past a far superior troop of professional slutty bar dancing girls against all odds.

[3ric]

I have to confess that watching "Hudson Hawk" and "Fifth Element" is a guilty pleasure of mine. Part of me love those childlish, simplistic B-flicks with an A budget.

And, "Speed" is a great movie!

When I'm rich and famous, I'm going to hire a troupe of professional slutty bar dancing girls.

Big Trouble in Little China has to be one of the best terrible movies of all time. Who couldn't love John Carpenter banging away at his Casio keyboard as the "soundtrack?"

Kung Pow Legend of the Fist has some great lines too...

Point Break is great too.

Happy Gilmore, although I think most of you probably like it.

Huh? The Cutting Edge was about an ex-hockey player who became a figure skater. Or am I missing something?

The real reason I love the movie is because it featured the song Baby Now I by Dan Reed Network, which was one of my favorite bands at the time.

[Franklinnoble]

Yes. Pro Wrestling is also gay.

[the_meanstrosity]

Hey now! Cutting Edge was a good movie. It really was.

[Ksyrup]

I don't disagree, I'm just trying to understand what that has to do with The Cutting Edge.

[GrantDawg]

"Big Trouble in Little China" is one of the most brilliant movies ever made. Really!

Hey, look... if you like the movie because Moira Kelly is in it (one of the most unappreciated hot 'girl next door'-type chicks in hollywood, IMO), I respect that... but the central plot device (male hockey player becomes a figure skater) is gay. Male figure skaters are gay. Men who watch male figure skating are either gay or so whipped by their wives they might as well be gay.

That is all.

My God! I guess I'm gay! I had no idea. But thank you for pointing that out. Since my wife is out of town, I can pop the DVD in the player, call up all my closet boyfriends, and have a gay ole' time. :rolleyes:

BTW, Moira Kelly was hot in that movie, and I think I already explained the real reason I liked the movie. But now that you've pointed out the real reason, I want to thank you. Now if you'll excuse me, I must sashay home.

[CAsterling]

'Surf Nazis must die' is a personal favourite, but its a little obscure, it was so bad it was funny.

Slightly more well known 'More Bad News' by the Comic Strip Team (Britsh comedians who made many great films including 'The Bulshitters') - i am trying to find an affordable copy of the music by Bad News (its kind of like Spinal Tap, except this group actually played Donnington Rock Festival and got bottled off stage)

for an actual mainstream film - Tremors is a true classic.:D

[Ksyrup]

TroyF, did you just find out you're gay too? It's a shock, ain't it?

Wanna come over and watch movies with me?

[TroyF]

Ksyrup,

Yep, that's exactly what I found out. I've actually paid to watch Scott Hamilton skate. As I'm not married, I guess I'm gay. I'm not exactly sure why I keep asking women out and why I think Elizabeth Hurley and Moira Kelly are hot. (maybe their wardrobe?)

Oh well, I guess I'll recover somehow.

Careful now, I come over and watch The Cutting Edge with you, the rumors will start and then Cam's wife may not want to see you anymore. :)

TroyF

(sorry Cam, I know that was a direct attack on your wife and I apologize in full. I'm going to go rent The Male Figure Skating Championships now and get back into touch with my feelings so I can become a more caring member of this board.)

I can never turn off Road House when it's on T.V... it's just soooooo bad.
Nothing like a 70 year old bouncer... braindead blond, horrible bad guy and good ol' Pat Swayze as the badass to kill a perfectly good sunday afternoon.....

What about Night of the Lepus? TBS would show that damn movie every other day (Night of the Lepus at 3:05, Sanford and Son at 7:05) and I'd watch it every time.

[tucker342]

Ghosts of Mars is sooooo bad that when ever it's on t.v. I have to watch it...

And pretty much any porno movie...

[Travis]

Come on guys! Tammy and the T-Rex, thouroughly horrible movie, but at least you get Denise Richards doing a semi strip tease at the end. One of those movies you happen to catch, calculate the time until it ends, then watch the last 5 minutes.

[WussGawd]

OK, a couple of guilty pleasures:

1. The Replacements.

This is a pretty formula sports comedy, with every cliche in the book, but I like it.


2. Big Trouble In Little China.

Perhaps one of the dumbest films of all time, but one that I watch once in a while, and yes, I did buy the DVD recently.

[petrochile]

Above the Rim: With Tupac and Marlon Wayans. You got to love the psycho guy who plays basketball in the park with no ball. Did it bother anyone eles when Shep (Leon) made the basket and he never went to get the imaginary ball, it just came right back to him and he kept on shooting? I real wacko would of picked up that invisible ball before shooting it again. And how does some one die form dunking a basketball, or should I ask how can anyone believe it.

Above the Law: How stupid is this movie, how do you mix a Vietnam vet, Coulmbian drug lords, and politics and screw up? Also you have a great line from this movie, by the great thesbian Steven Segal: "You guys think you're above the law…but you ain't above ours." Apperently his law is breaking the US Constitution and killing people, with out due process.


I can't believe these movies even got made, maybe the fact they did causes me to enjoy them. But if these movies are on I can not but watch them, it brings a smile to my face. I wish they could cross these two movies and make Above Stupidity.

[Travis]

On a side note, just because Segal was mentioned, anybody else watch the first 5 minutes of Broken Arrow, see Segal's character die, then turn it off knowing full well that nothing else in the movie could top that one moment.

It's just all downhill from there.

[thesloppy]

Seagal ROOOLZ.

I'll watch (or should I say re-watch) any Seagal movie anytime. On Deadly Ground might be my favorite...Michael Cain playing the villain WAY over the top, eskimo mysticism, R. Lee Ermy, and Seagal's ten minute guilt trip ending-spiel, what's not to love?

[Ksyrup]

That was "Executive Decision" with Kurt Russell, aka Die Hard on a plane. "Broken Arrow" was the John Woo flick with Howie Long, Travolta, and Christian Slater.

Executive Decision isn't that bad.

Big Trouble in Little China, though horribly panned and not the epitome of fine film making is a cult classic. A great film. The commentary tracks on the DVD leave a little to be desired unless you are interested in what Russell's and Carpenter's kids are up to.

Agreed, Strange Brew was damned funny.

And I too liked Big Trouble In Little China.

Bad Taste : This film was our cult movie when I was in school. So LMAO ! Then it was a shock to us when Peter Jackson (who directed Bad Taste) was going to direct "The Lord of the Rings"... - Link with image (http://shopping.yahoo.com/shop?d=v&cf=product&id=1800031298&clink=dmvi-filmots)


In Peter Jackson's BAD TASTE, an army of alien invaders has landed in coastal New Zealand with the intent of turning its human inhabitants into intergalactic fast food. Their nefarious mission is sabotaged, however, when a four-man commando team is sent in by the government to fend off the invaders. Bloody mayhem ensues....Prepare for scenes featuring exploding sheep, vomit eating, and cannibalism. With its unique blend of hardcore violence and outrageous black humor, BAD TASTE is a genre-busting treat for dauntless moviegoers.


My best scene is the "accidental" blasting of a sheep with a rocket launcher.... That's real bad !

My bad, had snow on the brain. I enjoyed Broken Arrow, while like I said, Executive Decision didn't make it 5 minutes past 'the death'. Probably a good movie, but no way it could improve upon that ;)
