Favorite BAD Movie...

[neoteric lefty]

I don't mean BAD in your opinion but BAD in that no reviewers like it and it is not what you call film noir.

For me, the one on the top of my list right now is The Burbs with Tom Hanks. It was the "Turner & Hooch/joe versus the Volcano"-era Hanks. Something about it has so much charm.

"Red rover, red rover... Send Art on over!"

[DoctorWeird]

1. Last Action Hero!

I even have it on DVD :)

[neoteric lefty]

2. Oh that was bad!

I'm not too in the "Arnold!" But to each, his own.

[daligirrl]

3. "Kingdom of the Ants"

with Joan Collins. A bunch of people go on one of those free real estate vacations and are attacked by giant, slow moving ants. The special effects of the epitome of low budget. You never really see the ants move at all.

[ForrestGump]

28. Got it on DVD, too. Love it.

Lots of Hollywood in-jokes, and I love Arnie spoofing his own action legacy. Great villain, too.

[jobycom]

72. That was so misunderstood!

I thought it was clever deconstructionism, everyone else thought it was dumb.

[DoctorWeird]

4. Oh Hell Ya!

I love Sci Fi B Movies, I have about fifty of them on DVD. Those are just so far beyond contempt though by critics that I don't even count it. Buuuut, since Im here, "Teenagers from OuterSpace" "The Amazing Colossal Man" and "Attack of the Giant Gila Monster"

[FDRrocks]

5. Killer Klowns from Outer Space?

It's a must see for you, if you havent got it already.

[BigMcLargehuge]

6. Reptilicus

starring Danish super-commedian "Dirch Passer" as "Petersen"...

I'd post pics but photbucket is having technical difficulties :(

[TheWizardOfMudd]

7. "The Spitfire Grill"

Fuck the reviewers. I loved it, and I am a fifty year old guy.

Alison Elliot deserved a nomination. Everyone panned that film as being "predictable." Bullshit. I don't care and, in addition, they lied.

I cried. :cry:

[CO Liberal]

8. My Wife & I Vote for "Ishtar"

:-)

[LTR]

9. xXx

I thought it was cool!

No, really!

[WilliamPitt]

10. Big Trouble in Little China

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. it's all in the reflexes!

:)

If I ever meet your for a beer can I refer to you as "little old basket case on wheels"?

[WilliamPitt]

19. Definitely

:)

[BigMcLargehuge]

21. may the wings of liberty never lose a feather

:)

I was almost going to be in your neck of the woods this week to see Godzilla at the Brattle, but I spent all my money this weekend :(

I'd have offered to buy you a beer.

[ForrestGump]

29. One of my most favorite films of all time. Not understood by critics or

by the studio's PR people. Classic.

[MrBenchley]

53. LOVE that film!!

Have you paid your dues? Yes sir, the check is in the mail.

[jobycom]

71. One of my favs, too.

I just posted that in the other movie thread.

[mac56]

11. "Mystic Pizza"

Cheesy (pardon the pun) as hell, but I dug it.

[Pretty_in_CodePink]

74. That's a good movie

[WilliamPitt]

12. Flash Gordon

[Zomby Woof]

81. now I have the Queen soundtrack in my head!!!

FLASH!!! AhhhAHHH!!!

I saw it in the theater upon release. I am excused, for I was 12, and saw lots of crap, as is the right of every 12 year old boy. :D

[Duncan Grant]

13. "Mars Attacks"

Hilarious and beyond twisted! (raackkk, raackkk)

[Gildor Inglorion]

35. You're absolutely right...

it's a masterpiece. The scene where they're killing everyone in sight while their translation machine says: "Do not run away. We are your friends" is just too funny for words.

[Misunderestimator]

54. That's my secret favorite... n/t

[WilliamPitt]

14. Night of the Comet

[BigMcLargehuge]

17. Daddy would have gotten us Uzi's

I saw that in the THEATER... man I'm old.

[WilliamPitt]

16. Beastmaster

[BigMcLargehuge]

18. Kodo and Podo

[VelmaD]

22. I'm not sure which is scarier...

that you like all the movies you've listed so far...or that I agree with you. *embarassed grin*

Two words baybee...Flash! Aaaaaa!

[BigMcLargehuge]

24. WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?

I LOVE that movie.

[WilliamPitt]

25. He'll save every one of us!

:)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

20. Hot Rods to Hell

Late '60's juvenile delinquent/hot rod film. Hysterically over acted. MST should have done this flick.

[punpirate]

23. "This Island Earth" n/t

[7th_Sephiroth]

39. better than "this island earth"

Mst3k the movie, featuring This island earth

[chenGOD]

26. "I want to kill everyone, Satan is good, Satan is our pal"

Classic quote from the Burbs....

Bad movies I like...Bad Boys 2. Wildly entertaining.

[devilgrrl]

27. Meatballs

A summer camp movie with Bill Murray and Chris Makepeace. Far from good but it was disjointed fun I suppose, I liked it. :shrug:

[jpgray]

30. Love the Burbs, but I'll take Sadko (The Magic Voyage of "Sinbad")

Cheesy as hell, but entertaining and fun all the way through--some great effects and set design for '61, and the music is great too. It's one of Rimsky-Korsakov's early films, as the MST folks say. :)

As for the Burbs, all I have to say is: "Sardine?"

[Spirochete]

31. 1941

Early Spielberg movie that the critics demolished, but I got a lot of laughs out of it.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. Roadhouse!

Utter piece of crap that i have to watch EVERY TIME IT'S ON!
The Professor

[BigMcLargehuge]

38. that was on cable so much in the late 80's

it "was my regular Saturday night thing"

:)

[MrBenchley]

55. That IS terrible in EVERY way...

My favorite part...Ben Gazzara sends his henchmen out to round up Patrick Swayze WITHOUT MENTIONING that he is in the house behind Ben's, about 200 feet away....

Several scenes later...the henchmen show up and say to Swayze "We been looking for you everywhere, boy" WITHOUT NOTICING that Ben Gazzara's house is about 200 feet away...and they all get in the truck and drive off instead of strolling the 200 feet.

[BigMcLargehuge]

56. there was a pond between the houses, remember

:)

[MrBenchley]

62. Which they wade quite easily toward the end of the film...

What a terrible film it is....

[AngryAmish]

68. Plus John Doe and Terry Funk are in it.

[Zomby Woof]

82. we cannot look away!!!

Lucky Jeff Healey... couldn't see the train wreck going on around him...

[HornBuckler]

33. Terror-Vision

Hands Down!

I Stand In The Light Of My TV Screen - But My Own Reflection I've Never Seen

Beauty Movie, Hard To Find, But If You Can Buy It Or Rent It

[Dogmudgeon]

34. Battlefield Earth

The movie elicits no end of outrage -- I suspect a lot of it is because of Scientology, although The Tech makes no appearance in the film.

But I enjoyed the film, and strengthened my resolve to ignore the critics.

--bkl

[Enraged_Ape]

36. XANADU

Although I don't consider this a "bad" movie. I'd have to say it's one of the greatest films of the 1980s, and I'm absolutely sincere about that.

[SarahB]

42. Xanadu....

Could you be the dream that I once knew? :)

[Enraged_Ape]

69. I thought that was "Deja Vu"

But I see you are a child of the early '80s as well. :)

[SarahB]

76. It is.

:dunce: Just wrote what popped into my head at that moment. I know the movie though, just ask sundog. :D

[dr.strangelove]

37. Embrace of the Vampire

It has Alyssa Milano naked

[7th_Sephiroth]

40. 7th Sephiroth's top 10 list of crappy (and pointless) movies he loves

#1 Ernest Scared stupid
#2 MST3K The movie
#3the Burbs
#4 Jack frost (not the sappy, crappy michael Keaton movie, the killer snowman movie)
#5 Jack Frost 2 (of the same jack frost series as the previously mentioned)
#6 Ricky Oh-The Story Of Ricky
#7 Killer Klowns From Outer Space
#8 Battelfield Earth (twas a hit in japan)
#9 and JUST to give it mention (cause it is great) Parasite eve, please everyone, watch this movie
#10 Tied with Ducktales the movie and transformers the movie

[BigMcLargehuge]

41. Parasite Eve was great

until the last 35 minutes... then it went down the crapper.

Did you see "The Hypnotist", same directer and producer of Parasite Eve. Far better and scarier movie.

[7th_Sephiroth]

44. sadly

my acess to japaneese horror movies is limited, they have been showing parasite eve on showtime beyond (subtitled even) and yeah, what was with the ending? Squaresoft did a parasite eve game, they would have done well just to have copied the game to a movie (this is all based on a book, wich i havent found a translated copy of, can anyone help me find one)

[BigMcLargehuge]

46. Actually, The Hypnotist is available as a budget title in the US

from Pioneer DVD. It can probably be had at Netflix too, or your local rental shop. It's absolutely worth searching for.

As for Parasite Eve, I don't know anything about the game as I haven't played it, nor about the book. Any idea if it's traditional prose or Manga?

[7th_Sephiroth]

47. its said to be

a novel, and parasite eve (the game) is set in 1997 Christmas week in NYC (twin towers appear in the background alot) and is verry cinematic, a must play for the PS1

[BigMcLargehuge]

48. I will look around for a used copy

here is my review of "The Hypnotist"

http://www.horrorview.com/Hypnotist.htm

[7th_Sephiroth]

49. used copies arent that uncommon

but in it is a 3rd disc with an FF8 preview of some FMV's that were altered before even the playable demo came out thats really valueable and usually doesent end up being sold with the rest of it

[SarahB]

43. The Austin Powers movies

Silly, stupid, and full of stereotypes, but funny as heck.

[m-jean03]

63. They make me laugh at the same time that

they are offending me. :-) The same effect I hope I have on SarahBelle. :P

[SarahB]

75. Hee-Hee!

:thumbsup: :7

[One Taste]

70. Those weren't bad...

[phillybri]

45. Manos: The Hands of Fate

:puke::-)

[Commendatori]

50. Showdown in Little Tokyo

Brandon Lee was hilarious in that one.

[BigMcLargehuge]

52. Dolph Lundgrens best movie too

which isn't saying all that much, but I've always liked the "rogue cop with a gripe against the Yakuza" type movies. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is always good too.

Love the sword fight during the parade at the end... As if any of those guys would be carrying live swords... LOL.

[Commendatori]

67. Yep, for an 80-minute action movie

it was among the best I've seen. Corny dialog with whats-her-name (she was in Wayne's World, the girl Dolph saves), and they couldn't have made it more obvious that a body double was being used (look at "her" hair when she slips into the hot tub), but explosions, wisecracks, and it's done in under an hour and a half.

[gpandas]

51. assault on precinct 13

loved it for most shots fired in a movie

[sus]

57. Peyton Place

[SarahB]

85. I like that too.

Classic sort of soap operaish movie. It was just simply....simply...scandelous! Oh my :wow: !!!

[Zolok]

58. "Waterloo" (1971)

starring Rod Steiger and Christopher Plummer.
Loadest least subtle war movie ever made period....Rod Steiger was BORN to play Napoleon...the man is a titan of the film made large by a 20 year diet of scenery chewed with obnoxious relish!
:)
Ney: "France will not follow you."
Bonaparte: "France...will...follow...me to the STARS if I give her one more victory!!!!"

Whenever I feel sad or thwarted I watch "Waterloo" and am immediately filled with an irrational sense of destiny.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

59. Johnny Mnemonic.

Flame away if you must, but I liked it.

[Lavender Brown]

60. Newsies

[proud patriot]

61. Tank Girl

:hi:

[bif]

64. 'Waterworld"

Great late night movie

[ChickMagic]

65. Baseketball

No, really.

[Rooktoven]

84. It was hilarious...

Especially the 9 month playoff season...

[richmwill]

66. "Alley Cat"...

...because Britt Helfer, the gorgeous actress who plays the part of the hooker, is a real-life friend of mine (haha). And it's not THAT bad of a movie.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

73. Howard the Duck

It's the "Citizen Kane" of the duck-from-outer-space genre.

Did I mention it has Tim Robbins?

[tcfrogs]

77. Showgirls! Road House, too.

[FizzFuzz]

78. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!!

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Austin Powers--all of 'em but especially the second one
Beavis and Butthead
Southpark--Bigger Longer and Uncut (though that wasn't BAD. It was genius)

[NightTrain]

79. PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE

That film is a case study in cinematic ineptitude, and I love the damned thing to death! God bless Edward D. Wood, Jr!!!

[Zomby Woof]

80. let us now praise "Roadhouse"

Compellingly bad, yet...it....draws... me....in. A philosophy major as a bouncer! Jiggling! A wooden script!! Fake buxom babes!! Jeff Healey ruins his promising career! Fights! Broken chairs! Broken bottles!! Car crashes!! Monster truck crashes!!! Kick-boxing!!! Woohoo!!!

And I shouldn't be happy with a movie that kills off Sam Elliot, but goddammit I have to watch it every time it appears on cable!

[DoveTurnedHawk]

83. Hawk the Slayer

That movie was hysterical.

DTH
