I'm trying to start a thread that won't end in a fight....

What is your favorite bad movie? I'm talking about the types that are so bad they're good - something like "The Conquerers" starring John Wayne.

Other examples would be "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or "Santa Claus vs. the Martians" or "Mchale's Navy" starring Tom Arnold or maybe "Death Wish II".

I've never seen a Van Damme movie that wasn't great/terrible, but my all time favorite has got to be Double Impact. Van Damme vs. Van Damme, good stuff.

We OWN a copy of "From Justin to Kelly". A true stinker!

Any Don Johnson fans remember, "A Boy And His Dog?"

"Showgirls" - even the sex scenes are hilarious.

Any Arnold movie. I hate movies like True Lies.

Here's a truly BAD movie. The acting is horrible & the dialogue is even worse. How he got elected Governor of California with THIS POS on his resume I'll never know.

I speak of course of Arnold Strong, er I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger's first movie:

Hercules in New York
http://imdb.com/title/tt0065832/

This is so pitiful it's easily one of the most humorous movies I've ever seen.

I remember a double feature at the Park Theatre when I was a kid:
"The Undertaker and his Pals" and "The Corps Grinders".

Also there was a great trilogy at The Sunset:
"Trip With the Teacher", "Teacher's Pet" and...I can't remember the last one. Jay North of "Dennis the Menace" fame was in one of them. They were rated R so one would've expected some nudity. Not one nipple!

ABC - Was 'a Boy and His Dog" a post-holocaust film about a young man and his dog with whom he could communicate by brain waves (ESP)?

Plan 9 from Outer Space. Poor Bela Lugosi...

Steven Seagal movies are always right up there.

On Deadly Ground was probably the worst. A take-no-prisoners BA environmentalist giving "Big Oil" what they got comin'

Here's a few bad flicks from, surprise, surprise - Sly Stalone

Over The Top
http://www.rottentomatoes...r_the_top/

http://imdb.com/title/tt0093692/

A movie about an arm-wrestling truck driver trying to win the approval of his son?

Sounds like Oscar material to me.

Then there's this winner:

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
http://www.rottentomatoes...ill_shoot/

http://imdb.com/title/tt0105477/

I forgot this genius bit of movie. Anyone in Seattle at the time will remember how Komo4 News promoted ad nauseam this pile of slop.

Life Or Something Like It
http://www.rottentomatoes...g_like_it/

Or how about NAVY SEALS with Charlie Sheen cool weapons just kinda out there

Not necessarily a bad movie but I caught it last night on one of my cable channels and it got me thinking (1974) "Blazing Saddles". A Mel Brooks classic, some would say, but that movie does not get made in 2008 way too politically incorrect. I couldn't help but think we have become so politically sensitive that we can't even make fun of ourselves anymore. It that respect it is a great, bad movie.

I would agree with "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Santa Claus vs. the Martians" ....both terrible movies, but somewhat enjoyable.

Another in the same genre is "Reefer Madness".

Bloodsport is the quintessential awesomely bad Van Damme movie. Man I thought that was one of the best movies ever when I was a kid .

If I remember "A Boy and His Dog" right it did have the boy & dog communicating with telepathy. Don Johnson would get involved with a girl and when the relationship started to sour the dog would convence him he was the true friend so lets kill and eat the girl. very bad plot, bad acting and bad sets all adding up to a true top drawer stinker of a film.

Pure Country was pretty bad.

I think "Reefer Madness" led to more drug use than it prevented. There are some great scenes in that one.

Don't forget the main plot of "A Boy and His Dog"...the underground dwellers were after his "man juice," setting him up for forced extraction.

ABC

Repo Man.

Mad Max.

A Boy and his Dog.

All 1950's B&W 3D SciFi/Horror movies!

Soylent Green.

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Hmm, seems I've seen way too many sci-fi and horror shows.

"C.H.U.D." (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers)

http://imdb.com/title/tt0087015/

Another movie I saw at the theater (1984-ish) and haven't seen since but it sticks in my mind as being laughably bad.

Pink Flamingo. If you haven't seen it, DON'T WATCH IT, you'll never be the same again!

"A Boy and His Dog" I hate Don Johnson, but that was a terrific movie. Particularly loved the ending LOL!!!

There is one that I have never had the pleasure of seeing, but my husband SWEARS by "Sting of the West" with Jack Palance

"The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human"

One I got sucked into last night is a Kevin Costner movie:
THE POSTMAN and another of his that really sucked WATERWROLD.The POSTMAN is alot better than WATERWORLD

"Death Race 2000" - Sly Stallone has a supporting role.
"Can't Stop the Music" with Steve Gutenberg. An added plus.... the Village people pretending to be straight.

Electra Glide in Blue. Mr. Huntington the principal at SHGS took me to see that movie. It was the first PG movie I ever attended and it was really bad.

Valley Girl, with Nicholas Cage. Like, totally radical, yet so gag me with a spoon.

This isn't so much a movie as it is an event but one thing that kills me every time I see it is a George Lucas "Love Scene".

He can write a sci-fi adventure but leave the love stuff to the pros.

Richard what's up with that?

Geez guys what about Army Of Darkness? My favorite bad movie to date but anything with Bruce Campbell in it is guaranteed to be a train wreck.(In a good way of course)

All these and no one has mentioned any Cheech and Chong movies yet? "The Corsican Brothers" will always be my favorite.
Sly Stallone... Judge Dredd
Van Damme... Streetfighter
Any Jennifer Lopez movie

Leaving Las Vegas was my all time least favorite movie.

OMFG, How could I have forgotten Judge Dread? Here's the truly sad part of this whole thing, I was actually there for a screener version a few months before its release. A friend of mine was given tickets and, I'm not kidding here, Sly Stallone himself was sitting a few rows back with his then fling Angie Everheart.

I guess someone should've told him that the name Dread was an appropriate title for that stinker.

How about "Starship Troopers"....anyone seen that one, at the time it was a fun one to see and I actually enjoyed it, now I look at it and I think wow, that wasn't as great as I thought.

"Sergeant Pepper" starring Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees. One of the very worst films of the 70s.

Sgt Pepper is a stinker....but would that rate as anyone's favorite bad movie? There is a difference between kitschy/campy bad movies that are enjoyable to watch, but to sit through Sgt Pepper, someone would have to hold a gun to my head.

You got me there, Gunnar. S. Pepper is impossible to watch.
How about the "Sabata" trilogy starring Lee van Cleef (for some reason, Yul Brunner plays Sabata in the "middle" of the three).
At about the same time, Lee Van Cleef plays Yul Brunner's character in "The Magnificant Seven Ride".

Wait... so you're telling us you were in the same theatre as Angie Everheart and you SAW the movie?!? You're a better man then me Tiny Tim LOL

I did forget it was FAVORITE bad movie though...
How about any Rambo movie then
Bloodsport (Van Damme again)
Little Nicky (No one's mentioned Adam Sandler yet)
"When I was 8 years old, my brother Adrian hit me in the side of the face with a shovel"
The South Park movie "Kick a**"
The Beavis and Butthead Movie

Godzilla movies and other Japanese monster movies - the older the better.

Speaking of South Park...I see Mr. Garrison got his member back.

Here's a genre that has the most laughably bad movies ever filmed - Kung-Fu/Chop Socky

Some of my favorites in this genre are:

Chinese Super Ninjas, Kid With The Golden Arms, Masked Avengers & Return of The Five Deadly Venoms.

What makes these even more pitiful is that I have them on ****** dvd copies. The only thing "Digitally Remastered" about them are the fact that they're on a digital format. The picture "Quality" is frequently off-centered, faded and in some cases you can see the tracking lines that give it away as being taken from a 5th-generation VHS copy. Unfortunately Shaw Brothers (where these were made) was bought out a couple of years ago and are being truly remastered so these sub-sub standard ones might be a thing of the past.

The sad thing is that I got this:


at a Best Buy all shrink-wrapped and when I got it home and opened it, it smelled like an ashtray and seven years later it still smells like an ashtray.

Gotta love that Kung-Fu Theater!

What about the Trinity series of westerns -- anyone else get a kick out of those -- My Name is Nobody -- Nobody is still my name -- etc. Have to admit his eyes were bluer than ole blue eyes himself

Great news! "A Boy and His Dog" is available on youtube.

"Before the Devil knows you're dead" Forgot about this.... Saw it at this Springs film festival. Not so much a bad movie but the story was so depressing and horrific that I would have to rate this as an all time stinker.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Terrible story, but one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
There aren't words... just see it.

The Three Stooges Meet Hercules was a pretty good(bad) one.

Anything with the Three Stooges is good on some level.
