A Bad Movie You Love! Fun For My 1200th Post!

[MarianJack]

What are some of the movies that you absolutely know are SOOOOO BAD, but you still love them?

For me, my guilty pleasure AWFUL movie is a sure-fire 1978 vomit-inducer called "Ice Castles" :think:

The premise: The beautiful, but now blind, figure skater (Lynn Holley Johnson) comes back to compete with the help of her devoted boyfriend (Robbie Benson). She also has the support of her loving father (Tom Skeritt) and coach (Colleen Dewhurst). But, (get out your hankies and barf bags) nobody else knows that she's blind.

Biggest :puke: , :puke: and :puke: again moment is when the lovely girl, before her triumphant return to the ice, hugs her father and says "Thank you for being my daddy!", at which point we have to fight a nearly uncontrollable urge to run out and shoot ourselves.

The only redeeming feature of this movie is, IMHO, that the theme song is sung by Melissa Manchester.

This is probably one of the worst movies ever made. Tom Skeritt and the late, great Colleen Dewhurst were probably saying every prayer that they could remember that people would forget this movie as soon as the waves of nausea subsided. Still, for some inexplicable reason, whenever this movie is on, I STILL WATCH IT!

That's mine. What's YOURS? HMMMMM?

[Maddy McCall]

1. Urban Cowboy. My guilty pleasure.

LOL! :blush:

[MarianJack]

2. A 1980ish Joke For You, Maddy McCall!

Q. Why did the guy get Herpes in his eye?

A. He was "Lookin' for Love in All the Wrong Places"

Yes, I'm old enough to remember when Herpes was the big scare and aids (spelled Ayds) was a diet supplement!

[AverageJoe]

3. Okay, I'm a cliche

But I love the Ed Wood movies, particularly " Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "Glenn or Glenda."

[MarianJack]

14. Soooo Bad...

...they're almost brilliant!

[tjwmason]

4. Flash Gordon

The outrageous high-campery of it all. The sound-track is excellent, but the film itself it terrible - nonetheless I love it.

Oh and those pointless disaster films, within the first ten minutes you know exactly who will die; and there's always a split-up couple who argue over their children (reunited by the end).

[meegbear]

8. And the so bad it's good Queen soundtrack!

FLASH! AH-AH! SAVIOROFTHEUNIVERSE!

[MarianJack]

15. Don't Forget...

...Flesh Gordon!

[mr blur]

34. FLESH Gordon!

Much worse and therefore much better. And you don't have to listen to the appalling Queen while watching it.
"Up yours, Gordon!"

[fujiyama]

35. Never heard of that

sounds like a porn...

[MarianJack]

37. It Was originally Supposed to be hardcore,...

...but they released it as a spoof with lots of t&a.

About theonly thing I remember from it was the bad guy (Ithink his name was Whang) is the ruler of the planet porno. Early in the movie his anthem is sung by a chorus of naked girls and ended with the line "Without him planet porno would be oh so forlorno!"

[bmovies]

5. Wha...who me?

Like bad movies?

Nah.

;-)

Aside from the obvious (Ed Wood, Something Weird video output, etc), for guilty pleasures, I love those cheesy Elvis Presley movies and the Beach Party films (not just the ones starring Frankie and Annette, but the Beach Party clones as well).

[MarianJack]

16. My Favorite Bad Elvis Movie...

...is the one where he's asoldier going back to the hills for some reason. "It's them danged Kitty Hawks, agin'"

[DelawareValleyDem]

6. Die Hard 2

Maybe the most far fetched movie of all time. A ton of factual errors and plot holes (just how long was that plane traveling down the runway at the end) but still worth watching

[MarianJack]

17. 1 Die had was enough for ME!

:eyes: :hi:

[Mad_Dem_X]

7. There are so many - and most star Joan Crawford

My favorite bad musical--"Xanadu." The animated portion alone is worth it. LOL

[MarianJack]

18. I Said...

...NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!!

[izzie]

9. I think this is "good' the man with one red shoe.

Has to be good I keep watching it.

[MarianJack]

19. Or Maybe...

...you're a bit masochistic! :shrug:

[ET Awful]

10. Zardoz

:)

Who can resist a movie where this plays a starring role?



How can you not love quotes like:

"The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life, and poisons the earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the gun shoots death, and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth and kill!"

And for all you Connery lovers in the house, you get to see him in a loincloth.



Such a horribly enjoyable movie that it makes me cringe.

Even the make-up is horrible, notice anything peculiar about this dudes moustache?



I love this movie :)

[MarianJack]

21. The Guy With the Painted on Moustache...

...looks like a demented Leonardo DiCapprio!

[CBGLuthier]

28. Hey the mustache wasn't supposed to look real

Arthur Frane or Zardoz as he was sometimes known was just a goofy bastard.

It's one of my favorite "bad" movies although I actually think it's a good movie. :-)

Great SF ideas anyway.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. I love that movie!!! And then the moment at the end where she falls

because of all the flowers on the ice? I guess I'm guilty too! :hi:

[MarianJack]

22. We Forgot the Flowers!

They forgot the acting lessons, too! :headbang:

[elehhhhna]

12. Plan 9 From Outer Space & Hot Rods to Hell

[MarianJack]

23. Is that the one with...

...a very OLD Dana Andrews (Who should have been up for an Oscar for "The Best Years of Our Lives")?

[elehhhhna]

26. HELL YEAH! "Can I have a hamburger?"

"ouch, my back!"

GOOD ON YA!

[Beware the Beast Man]

13. "Beneath the Planet of the Apes"

The first is a classic, but the sequel (one of four) is pure camp, especially the Bomb People that live in the Forbidden Zone.

[MarianJack]

24. James Franciscus...

...was probably glad he died at the end. It saved him from being in more sequels!

[WilliamPitt]

20. Big Trouble in Little China

[MarianJack]

25. Good Ole' BAD Movie Fun!

You know it's bad when a penthouse pet gives one of the best performances! :shrug:

[redqueen]

27. The Forbidden Zone

Buckaroo Banzai
Dead Again

I should make a list...

[MarianJack]

29. 3 I've Never Seen!

I can make a list, too! It would be long.

[Richard Steele]

30. "Nemesis"....

HORRIBLE acting...(Oliver Gruner)
Cheesy special effects...
Inane plot...

And some of the most AMAZING gunfight scenes ever filmed!

[MarianJack]

32. A Few Good Shoot 'em Up Scenes...

...can make up for a lot of minus qualities!

[yellowdogintexas]

31. "Revenge of the Nerds" movies and

the "Lethal Weapon " movies are among my guilty pleasures

[MarianJack]

33. Yes,...

...but I actually thought that the "Lethal Weapon" movies were pretty good (except for #3)!

[NoSunWithoutShadow]

36. "Motel Hell" and "Eraser Head"

Two great bad movies. Rory Calhoun's famous line, "meat's meat and a man's gotta eat". And my hubby can imitate that Eraser head look and I always laugh.

[MarianJack]

39. Poor Rory Calhoun!

Weren't they cannibals in that movie, too?

[fit4life]

38. Hot Shots

Hilarious movie!

[MarianJack]

41. Sort Of a Military...

...Airplane!

[u4ic]

40. The Burbs

pathetic beyond belief, yet every time it comes on tv...I watch it.

I remember Ice Castles...haven't seen it since it was at the theatre, but as I was barely a young teen, I loved it.

[MarianJack]

42. Corey Haim's Career Highlight!

When he asked the other stoners if they wanted anything from McDonald's, I didn't know he was going for his job interview!

[MemphisTiger]

47. Summer School

I don't know why I like this movie. Maybe it's the pre-melrose Courney Thorne Smith.

[GOPBasher]

43. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey. They suck, but

they remind me of my crown in high school. :-)

[Huckebein the Raven]

44. Hudson Hawk

that movie is so bad but I can't stop watching it.

now commence your flaming

[MemphisTiger]

46. I like that movie too for some reason

[KitchenWitch]

45. Space Balls

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

48. Howard the Duck

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