You know the type. A movie the critics would all scoff at. A movie with absolutely NO cinematic quality whatsoever. Campy, B or C movies that you (or alot of people) simply love. I'll start out the list with some of my favorites: SpaceBalls DeadAlive Cannibal: The Musical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 & 2 Starship Troopers Galaxy Quest JMac
The Lost Boys. Keifer Sutherland and Edward Herrmann as beach bum vampires -- who can resist? My favorite line from the film: "Where's Star, David?"
Summer Rental with John Candy The Toxic Avenger Explorers As said above, Big Trouble in Little China, a classic film
Roadhouse starring Patrick Swayze. You simply can't beat this one. Kentucky Fried Movie Best argument against hard core drug use, ever.
This is a great flick--the whole comic book nerds as anti-vampire consultants is classic. As an added bonus, it's probably the last time I saw Cory (not the little brother, the fat faced one with glasses) Whatsawhogee in a film and didn't want to gut him like a bluefish. My too nominees are also films that follow "bad movie" formulas but succeed in being great anyway: The Road Warrior (as the best of the mad Max trilogy). Used Cars (an early Zemeckis film starring Kurt Russell).
Captain Ron w/ martin short and kurt russel Surf Ninjas w/ rob schneider TMNT 1+2 Maverick /w mel gibson Office Space UHF Naked Gun 33 1/3
Speaking of the Coreys, how about License To Drive? Starring Corey Haim, Corey Feldman and Heather Graham as Mercedes.
Kurt Russell holds the lead with 3 films, so far, in this thread. Which reminds me, Soldier was a pretty bad film, but I liked it anyway.
> Galaxy Quest Critics did not scoff at this movie. Ebert gave it 3 stars and it has a "fresh" rating from rottentomatoes.com.
Crappy movies that I like: The Toxic Avenger (its just THAT good) Flash Gordon Porky's Ferris Bueller's Day Off And who could forget the classic: Surf Nazis Must Die!
I don't think Plan 9 fits this thread. This is not so great movies that you like. An example is "Blind Fury" starring the great Rutger Hauer. Plan 9 would be a thread of movies that are so bad they are good - that is, they are good in an unintentional way. An example of this would be "Iron Thunder" staring Richard "Galactica" Hatch. This is the funniest 3 hour movie you will ever see.
1. Escape from LA (haven't seen New York) 2. Any Steven Segal film, esp. Under Siege 2 and the Patriot. 3. Warriors (odd NYC based gang film from the 70's).
i just sortof assumed taht waht this thread was about...seeing as the title is "best bad movie" . oh well.
First off,props to the Used Cars and the UHF mentions before.I never understood why hardly any of my friends had heard of Used Cars.The Marshall Lucky scene is so funny it still puts me in tears when I see it.UHF is just too wierd to not like.I always enjoyed the movies that insult your intelligence.(Airplane,Naked Gun,Hot Shots,etc...)OK My additions to the topic. Ford Fairlane(sp?) Real Men(Jim Belushi and John Ritter) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Valley Girl (I still don't know why I like this movie) Just One Of The Guys Raising Arizona(The fight scene in the trailer.Classic) And from when I was a kid......Bugsy Malone.
