You know em, you love to hate them! Movies, movies are subjective, and then there are bad movies, the worst of the worst. I have a list you probably have seen or heard of a few. So lets begin...
DAKKA DAKKA! What is your most beloved but most loathed movie you have ever watched? Or what is one movie that is so bad you love it? (Like Krull).
Okay, I'll bite (and have an exalt for mentioning Krull, one of my favorite bad movies!).
Tremors 1 and 2
Krull
Battle Beyond the Stars
Conan the Destroyer
Masters of the Universe
Robocop (the original one, the sequels were just terrible without being very enjoyable and I haven't even seen the reboot)
Judge Dredd (the one with Stallone)
The Black Hole
Aliens vs. Predator (the first one)
Deep Blue Sea

The Room (Of course)
Twilight (Whole Series Steaming pile of gak)
Angels' Revenge
Dragonheart
Merlin (1993 Mini Series Is amazing good but really dumb)
Star Wars Episode 3, (play it backgrounds and it is an incredible story of a man finding saving his wife and bringing peace and people back to life!)

This isn't a terrible movie. It's really trashy, but there's a hell of a lot of actual, good stuff in there.
Indeed.
The director's comments where he describes Robocop as a "metal jesus" -- he;s walking through.on some puddles you see... whilst shooting people left right and centre -- takes the whole thing to another level.
I quite like the 2nd one, I think most of the 80s films were good for 2 movies.... got well dodgy by the tired 3rd..
and if it went on after that you generally had a whole new cast -- maybe one actor left over who you never really saw in anything else -- and things would get truly dire.
Battleship. It takes balls to make a ship based on that board game, even more to make it about aliens, and yet more to declare "this is the dumbest idea for a movie ever so feth it, lets see how little we can try."
Automatically Appended Next Post: And honestly, Independence Day: Resurgence probably deserves special mention for being awful in some of the most blatant ways.
The entire film is nothing more than a Summer blockbuster check list. Like someone literally referred to a "list of things all Summer blockbusters have" and wrote the script based on that, but completely forgot to have any of it make sense. Token characters abound. Military movie cliche's around every corner. literally no one learned anything from the first film, even the characters who lived through it who are only around to be around and make a couple ultra cheesy one liners.
The best things about the entire film were the new Lady President who was killed off so fast we didn't even get a chance to enjoy her (better yet, so fast its not even worth a spoiler tag), and the doctor guy from the first film saying "we have alien guns?! What else do we have?!" with his ass hanging out.
One of my all time favorite kung fu movies, it has wu shu, shaolin monks, samurai, mongols, ninja, ninja flying on kites, naked female ninja that form into a giant ninja. Honestly I can't think of anything in the kung fu genre that it doesn't have. Epic.
The Batman where Arnie played mr ice. Easily the worst film I've ever seen. By miles.
AvP2 pushes it so close however.
Not as bad by half but I thought the BFG was pretty woeful, so sickly sweet and such poor dialogue.
Pixels was pretty bad too, one joke in 90 minutes iirc.
And I'll throw in the big lebowski as a film I simply dont get. And never will.

You take that back! Deep Blue Sea was awesome!! Better than Jaws, anyway...
Odd how some of the ones mentioned so far aren't actually bad, just not critical successes.
Anyway, aside from the ones already mentioned, I'll add one to the list: Xanadu.
Electric Light Orchestra, Gene Kelly, and Olivia Newton-John FTW.
I was wondering when this was going to turn up! I've got a drinking game specifically designed to help deal with this movie. The alcohol cushions and protects your brain cells.
Now this movie I thought was pretty bad until I watched it recently and felt like : This is way more relevant to today than any other time.
It turned into a time period piece and one of the few 80s movies that didn't feel dated with its message!

Yeah Im with you here. I LOVE Demolition Man, its bad in all the right ways. I also really like WaterWorld. Im talking I like it enough to watch it a couple times a year.
Nothing about it should justify how incredibly funny it is to me. Showing it to anyone either creates a convert, or leaves the poor victim giving me dirty looks for weeks afterwards.
Also, this thread is in serious danger of a subjectivity crisis. Krull is a bad film? I mean, by whose standards? Keep in mind that my parents and my wife think Big Trouble in Little China is a bad film, and that's damn near objectively wrong. I had a roommate who would go on at length about how bad The Princess Bride was (between drowning puppies and boiling kittens we assume).
Does Flash Gordon count as a bad movie? I don't know. What I do know, what I ken in my bones and my heart and the very life essence that flows through my blood, is HAWK-MEN DIIIIIIVE! This I know.
Similarly, any Godzilla or Harryhausen film counts as a good film to me.
However, there is one undeniable turd that I usually won't admit to enjoying anywhere near so much as I do: the Ultramarines Movie. Love that stupid bastid.
Nothing about it should justify how incredibly funny it is to me. Showing it to anyone either creates a convert, or leaves the poor victim giving me dirty looks for weeks afterwards.
So, it's basically The Big Lebowski? I'll have to see it and find out where I stand on it.
This is what you get when you film a stranger in the arts.
PS: has anyone met a single person who liked Freddy Got Fingered?
S: has anyone met a single person who liked Freddy Got Fingered?
People actually like that movie?
That movie gives me fething nightmares,its not funny, its just so mean spirited. It reminds me of Alaska the Movie (Where two kids go out in search of their missing father, but it is... Ugh just so bad, the acting was as good as a messy burnt pancake cooked by a bloody corpse)

Ditto. Although I've found alcohol helps the conversion effort, and improves viewing enjoyment.

Well, that tends to happen with anything on a screen when you get to your age
Although a darkened screen at the wrong refresh rate will also put me to sleep (always has). 24-25fps in a darkened room will send me off to noddytown.
Showscan and IMAX don't tend to when they are shown at a higher than 24fps framerate, though.
IIRC they give the blind girl a "machine gun" so she doesn't have to aim too well..... ?
...ah to be young and at Uni. again.
Seems inconceivable now hat "classics" like the Nuke'em high series, Toxic Avenger et al will be unseen.
..huh apparently with Paul Walker and Fergie from Black Eyed Peas !
didn't know that.
...think I just lost a bet made in 199somethingor other with regards to people from it going on to have careers.
The VHS/Blockbuster years were a great time for crap/schlock horror/sci-fi films.
It was like if you had an idea -- there's been a nuclear war so now people travel around on roller skates ! -- or whatever you could get the film made.
I love watching the terribleness that is Sharknado!! They're all frigging awful. But I laugh my ass off at the awfulness. And the roommate who said Princess Bride is a bad movie? That man needs swift access to an electric chair. Don't give him the sponge to bite on either. He deserves swift and painful justice. Them's not fighting words, them's execution words!
Princess Bride is a classic, and not in any sort of terrble way.
Sharknado is a special case. The concept alone makes you want to watch it once. They get less bad with each incarnation. Sharknado 3 and 4 might actually be good, as a parody of themselves.
Spoiler:
Sharknado 3 just dispenses with realism altogether, and has a Shark Battle in SPACE, that ends with the hero surviving re-entry from orbit in the belly of a shark. Sharknado 4 has a full on cyborg amongst the heroes. It basically becomes a superhero franchise, and you'll cheer them for it
Rocky Horror Picture show is another special one. Watched it for the first time, alone, on DVD and didn't get it. Got dragged to a theatre, where it was performed live as well on a screen, whle drinking and surrounded by enthusiastic, and sometimes scantily clad, fans, and it became an experience. The BBC did a live annniversary performance that is worth watching, and this year there was a remake on US televison for Halloween that was pretty good.

Still no idea if I'm terrible people, or my friends are just easily appalled.
I see this as the problem with films; everyone's opinions seem way more polar opposite than you'd find in almost any other medium. It seems to boil down to how intensely you watch a movie, what you aim to get out of the film, and most importantly, what attitude you had before you went into a theatre or sat down on the sofa to watch it.
Still, with my favourite movie of the year being Zootopia, I don't think I'm in any better position to be a film critic than most people I know/follow on the internet
As for crap films I've watched... I don't think I really have watched something ghastly, as I'm sure I'd remember it; films to me are forgettable at worst, and I only have a very small capacity in my brain for remembering good ones. Most of them just go through the filter a few months after I've watched them, and I never return to see them again.
I will say that Insurgent (the sequel to Divergent) legitimately made me fall asleep in the theatre before I was poked awake by the friend I was going with, something I've never ever done before. Even if I tried my hardest, I couldn't tell you who anyone was or what they were doing; I guess that could be more insulting to a director than a movie that was so terrible it sticks in your memory.

Whoa, whoa, easy there killer! I love all of those movies despite their flaws. For me, if a movie entertains me, I like it no matter how bad it is considered in general. For that reason I could probably add Waterworld (which is basically Mad Max on the ocean) and Star Trek Nemesis to my list. Both are generally not well regarded, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. Hell, I even enjoyed Wing Commander on a certain level (barely).

I will join your love of sword and sandal, and ante up with Gladiator movies! To think Lou Ferrigo in The Seven Gladiators is one of the better ones! That is a genre in trouble.

I've only watched this movie once. Several years ago now when I was on proscribed medication. I had the worst nightmare after this movie. I haven't tried to watch it again.

That one lost me right at the start, when the heroine was talking about how everything depended on them killing the leader of the dystopian government. Man, if only she'd been helpless and right in front of you while you were holding a loaded gun at some point in the previous movie.
One of mine is Immortals. This movie is an obvious 300 knock-off with a host of really bizarre storytelling choices. Like how the Greek gods have a prohibition against showing themselves to mortals or interfering in their affairs, so that belief in them must be based on faith. You know, like in absolutely no Greek myth ever--half of them were about people who would have been better off if the gods would have stopped turning up and screwing with them. But there's just something weirdly compelling about what a glorious mess it is, and a big chunk of that is the guy who plays the evil King Hyperion. How can you root for the hero when the villain is just making so much more effort?
That reminds me of Keanu Reeves' 47 Ronin. There were so many people who did such a good job, but it was still a terrible movie. Rinko Kikuchi's evil sorceress was the most fun character in the whole movie.
Soldier with Kurt Russell. Much was made about how the set design or some damn thing was by the same guy as did Blade Runner. It has Sean Pertwee in it. Still absolutely terrible.
Last Man Standing with Bruce Willis. The entire movie is orange.
Complicity with Ewan McGregor based on the Ian Banks book. It wasn't until 3/4 of the way through the movie that I realised that the intro saxophone music STILL HADN'T STOPPED.

I love both those movies. I've seen Soldier like 100 times. The other films I've watched over a hundred times include but are not limited to...
Big Bird Come Home.
Dumb and Dumber.
The Goonies.
Batman Returns.
Hot Fuzz.
Jaws 4 the revenge.... the shark follows the family from NY to the Bahamas to get revenge for killing his buddies in earlier movies... best part is the shark roars like a lion then explodes when speared by the sailboat
This is one of the all time terribad movies I've ever seen. When I first heard about it, I saw that it was directed by Winrich Kolbe (a bunch of episodes from the first three Star Trek series) and had Wes Studi (The Sphinx from Mystery Men and Kaetenay from the Penny Dreadful series) in it so I was intrigued. I was like, "How bad could it be?"
OMG it was bad. It's projectile vomiting bad. I'm talking Taco Bell diarrhea bad. It's so bad Ewe Boll was like, "Damn, son. Learn to direct."
So, because misery loves company, here is all 90 glorious (cough) minutes on YouTube.
A Ewe is a female sheep. Boll's work is closer to horse-puckey than sheep, though.
Wes Studi also played Eytukan in Avatar (the mocap performance and voice is his). He's been in a lot over the last couple of decades. I'd have loved to see him play "Mr Snow" in the proposed "Amtrak wars" movie they were wanting to make in the 90s. Before Carolco went tits-up.

Oh my god I needed that. Thank you for sharing it with us! It's so 90's it sets off all my nostalgia, the effects still fit into my personal idea of awesome, and seeing Magua in a space uniform made me smile. The film's editing and direction are so incoherent as to be a strength in an avant-garde, French novel kind of a way. I'm going to have to finish watching this later, when I have time, because it is brilliant(ly terrible).
Takes me back to time at uni and picking up these kinds of films on VHS, amazing how many of them would show up in second hand and charity shops and the like.
For some reason can really enjoy watching these still, although stuff that tries to satirise it (Kung fu fury etc) just isn't the same. It might be the difference between deliberately making something that's gak, and trying to make something that's good and it just turning out appallingly?

-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
-Damnation Alley
OoooooO Attack of the killer tomatoes, now that is some sh** sauce on film! The props are bad, acting is bad the idea is bad its just bad! But so bad youll laugh your ass off enjoying it
Manos the hands of fate: Made by a halfwit with a handicam which could record no dialogue and only three minutes of footage. Languished in obscurity until broadcast on MST3K
Space mutiny: Low budget, nonsensical South African star wars ripoff. Features a confused plot, resurrected crew member [who appears to have shoved an armadillo down her pants] and pimped out golf carts that struggle to do three feet per hour
Deathstalker 3: THE WORST of the Deathstalker series. Filmed with one fraction of the others budget. Sets and props are all clearly made of cardboard [the hero nearly walks into the camera at one point]
Plan 9 from outer space: Made by a man who used to dress in drag to direct [I'm not judging his clothing style here]. Probably the WORST FILM EVER MADE. ALMOST features Bela Legosi, bad sets, corny dialogue, confused plot points, and quite possibly the worst cockpit set ever to appear on film.
Legend of the boggy creek monster: A film in which most of the footage seen is of the non-entity leads, driving to various forests
Fugitive alien II: I honestly have no idea what this film is about??? Forklift songs maybe????
Masters of the universe: A film based on an 80's toy property that is more concerned with unnecessary teen drama subplots than anything else [sound familiar?]
Hi all, new poster here. I usually enjoy so-bad-they're-good type movies, the Sharknado films as fairly recent examples. One I can remember as being pretty cheesy but haven't been able to find in a while was the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century movie from the late 70s or early 80s.
But for a genuinely terrible film, definitely in the "just bad" category, check out Birdemic. I honestly couldn't make it all the way through it. It is admittedly very low budget, but that still isn't enough to excuse
everything that's wrong with it.
Cinemasins covers it pretty well, and it'll save you having to watch the whole thing.
And there's a sequel too...
I just haven't plucked up the courage to even attempt that one.
Laserblast: Trashy late 70's star wars cash in with plot holes so big, you could fit Canada in them. Mostly about a shirtless wonder, fat sheriffs and unconnected plot threads
Cave dwellers: One of the many 'me too' barbarian movies from the 80's. Reedited in a clumsy way. Miles O'Keefe thanked MST3K for mocking it
Starfighters: Early cold war propaganda film made from training footage, featuring one of the crappiest jets ever made. If you love aerial refuelling scenes [of which there are many], you will love this
Hobgoblins: Unbearable Gremlins ripoff. The monsters are clearly puppets. Also features the stupidest duel in cinematic history with garden tools
The undead : Nonsensical horror film about....something? A mad grave digger, flying cats and the hammiest devil to ever grace the screen
Now this movie I thought was pretty bad until I watched it recently and felt like : This is way more relevant to today than any other time.
It turned into a time period piece and one of the few 80s movies that didn't feel dated with its message!

Watch it on a UK (or basically non-US, I think) streaming service or DVD or VHS etc. and Taco Bell becomes Pizza Hut EDIT: And I just noticed the swearing fine compilation video is from one of those versions (skip to 1:40)!
Has the Star Wars Holiday Special been mentioned yet? It is truly a classic which offers greater insight into the star wars universe and everyone loves Life Day! Plus it is the first appearance of Boba Fett!
Sadly that copy doesn't have the adverts from what I can see.
I highly recommend watching the Rifftrax commentary version, with a lot of alcohol, for your own health and wellbeing.
Watch it on a UK streaming service and Taco Bell becomes Pizza Hut
How does THAT work?
Also, when I worked at a Taco Bell that movie came up in conversation almost weekly, as you might expect.
With overdubbing the dialogue every time someone says "Taco Bell" or mentions mexican food in that context and digitally altering all the Taco Bell logos into Pizza Hut ones.
Because having a restaurant chain which isn't really a thing outside the US would apparently be too complicated for foreign audiences I first saw it on TV here in the UK and it was the US version with Taco Bell. So I was pretty confused when I find it on Netflix or wherever it was later and am showing my friends at uni and suddenly it's Pizza Hut!
The holiday special was quite possibly the worst thing I've ever seen [even worse than 'Manos']
Funny though the way George Lucas regards it. He wound up using the childish, unfunny humour style it featured prominently in the prequels
I've been a Warcraft fan since 2007, and I've become very familiar with the game's lore. The Warcraft movie essentially rewrote the entire story of the Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, presumably to cater to the Warcraft developers' bizarre fetish for Orcs and Humans fighting. Atrocities the Orcs committed during the time period were written out of existence entirely, new events were included, one character's species was incorrect, the outcome of the war was entirely different, battles occurred that were never a part of the story, devices and magic functioned entirely differently than they were supposed to, and ultimately if anyone only watched the movie and wanted to know more about the story, I'd have to tell them to forget everything in the movie and start over from square one.
Normally that's fine, movies can't simply take the existing story and copy it. However, when faced with the question of why they would make such a poor representation of the game's lore, Duncan Jones and Chris Metzen (the latter being Blizzard's main lore guy for literally over a decade) explained that the movie's events were 100% canonical, but merely took place in an alternative timeline. They also referenced superhero movies as an example. I have several serious issues with this explanation.
First, the movie would be more of a parallel universe than an alternate timeline, and this isn't the first time Blizzard has had trouble knowing the difference.
Second, it essentially means that Metzen and Jones were allowed to make their personal Warcraft fanfiction into canon without damaging anything that already existed.
Third, unlike superhero universes, the Warcraft franchise has never tolerated multiple versions of canonical stories simultaneously, instead opting to retcon every discrepancy into continuity.
Fourth, if a movie adaptation were made of a decades-old, well-known, specific superhero story, that got almost everything wrong, were explained away as being "100% canon, but in an alternate timeline, so it's fine" that would never be a permissible explanation.
In essence, I saw it once in theaters just so I would know what actually happened in it, then when I got it on DVD, I brought it home, put it in the player, then turned it off when I realized I didn't want to watch Orcs slaughter innocent people for 2 hours and get called the protagonists.
With overdubbing the dialogue every time someone says "Taco Bell" or mentions mexican food in that context and digitally altering all the Taco Bell logos into Pizza Hut ones.
When it hit cinemas here, Taco Bell was a "new thing" ... around 3 months before DM opened, TB started opening stores in capital cities (at least Sydney, they did. Melbourne already had "Taco Bills" for years and it was a far better place and believe they had trouble getting traction). So we got the "taco bell" references.
Several years later (it took 4+ years to hit dvd release in r4), Taco bell has gone bye-bye, unable to keep up in the franchise wars. ALL TB spoken references are overdubbed in the audio and most of the logos are replaced with "Pizza Hut" (some background ones remained unchanged). Because just like in our reality, TB didn't win the franchise wars.
Wanted - I had high hopes for this, especially with A.Jolie as a Assassin. - I was not prepared for how truly dire it was - plot, characters, style - it lacked all these. Dismal.
Inception - Dull, inconsistent series of barely adequate action sequences thrown together without a coherent or consistent plot or indeed any actual characters. Only made worse by the constant "oh you don't understand it" thrown at anyone who dared criticise this tedious mess of a film.
I just showed my wife Barbarella, and she loved it. Maybe not enough to cosplay some of those outfits, but still quite a bit. It also blew her mind that Duran Duran the band named themselves after Duran Duran the character.
I just saw the Honest Trailer for Mortal Kombat, and they classify it as a bad film. What? That was the best video game film ever made, and the second-best game film ever made (after Clue). Am I alone in thinking that, or is it just another terrible movie I enjoy?

Without getting into too much detail, no, quite the opposite. Let's just say some people don't care to paint their minis before they play the fun new scenarios.
Which actually led to the best part of my The Force Awakens experience...but perhaps I've said too much.
