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).

Truly terrible




.. saw it on VHS years ago.

If I ever stumble across it have to sit there in mute horror/fascination.

...huh, looks like someone's uploaded the whole thing to youtube...


... hmmm


Note ; a fair few scenes in the trailer-- the better ones, alas, are not actually from this movie.

They're from .. Deathstalker .

This isn't a terrible movie. It's really trashy, but there's a hell of a lot of actual, good stuff in there.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

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.

I forgot to talk about the terrible wesley snipes movie....

Demolition Man!

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!

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.

Duel to the Death.

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.

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).


If I like it - its a good movie (for me)

If I don't - then its a bad movie (for me)

There are lots of movies I dislike, loathe, even hate.

This movie is so bad it's good, in a "fire in an orphanage" kind of way (watch it, that metaphor makes sense )

The Room. It's legendary.

Ah, that takes me back to college.

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.
