Deliciously BAD Movies
 

There have been several recent posts on bad movies. How about the ones that are so terrible (unintentionally) that they make great late afternoon watching on the couch with a glass of Trader Joe's Two-Buck Chuck and leftover pizza?

Here are three of my favorites:

1. The Lonely Lady (Pia Zodora at her worst...love how they could not afford enough extras for the Oscar scene)
2. Show Girls (I can never see and ad for Versace now and not laugh):D
3. Only the Damned Cry (Joan Crawford plays a woman who is clearly 20 years younger than she, and proceeds to chew up the scenary)
4. Johnny Guitar (another Joan Crawford favorite...not sure if this is bad or just plain weird):confused:

Delta Delta Die.

The acting is SO terrible that it's funny. I actually ended up buying 2 copies of the film lol

Sleepaway Camp. It's a cult classic and really campy (no pun intended). One of my favorite camp movies of all time.

We call these Awesomely Bad Movies - and I put all of the Twilight ones in there, as well as this one 80's Made for TV movie starring Fairuza Balk, Tim Curry and Charlotte Rae called The Worst Witch. The graphics are AMAZING cheesy. I love it.

Honorable mention: Austin Powers...but I have to be in the right mood for those.

Starship Troopers.

I LOVE this movie and the stupidity of it!

Anything Twilight (including Breaking Dawn, which I saw last night and my boyfriend would put in worst-movie-ever thread)

Legally Blonde

Grease 1 (and dare I say it, 2)

Dirty Dancing

Anything 80's with a great song at the and and a random dance scene

Better Off Dead

I'll throw "Battlefield Earth" onto the pile. Truly one of the most expensive B movies ever made.

Mommie Dearest. When Paramount realized what a stinkbomb they had on their hands, they gave up trying to market it as a serious film and introduced the tagline "Meet the Biggest Mother of Them All!"

NO WIRE HANGERS!!

I'll throw Troll 2, Polyester (anything by John Waters fits here), and BIRDEMIC into the ring as delightfully horrid.

I'm not sure John Waters' oeuvre really counts, because his stuff is bad on purpose. I love it, though.

Ever see any of his pre-Polyester films?

La Boum

I'm doing my part!

I've seen Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Desperate Living but nothing pre-PF.

Edith Massey was the greatest actress of her time.

AlphaFrog -- Love it!!! My sister and I watched The Worst Witch ALL the time when we were kids. When I saw it as an adult, I couldn't believe the off-the-charts cheesiness! The Tim Curry parts are hilarious!

I have to add Center Stage.

Same! So awesomely bad.

I would not put Legally Blonde in this category, but I agree with Twilight. Such bad acting but it's like a car crash-- I can't look away!

Yesssss! Such a guilty pleasure movie.

I put Legally Blonde in there as my BF makes fun of me for watching it over and over.

Also love Center Stage.

If you look at it as a documentary on propaganda, it gets so much better.

Every time I watch it though, I get so queasy at the beginning. By the time the plot catches up to the flashback at the start of the movie, I'm all adjusted.

lol
The ending of that movie made me laugh so hard. That movie was hilarious, it was that awful.

Hackers - Johnny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie and 90s graphics of how sexy hacking is. Plus Fisher Stevens as a cool bad guy named "The Plague"

This dates me, but, whatever... saw a green VW at the stoplight recently with the license plate "soylent"- a diet coke up the nose while driving moment. This, of course, reminded me of this thread, as Soylent Green was a pretty silly movie starring Charlton Heston, who really chewed up the scenery. Come to think of it, all the original Planet of the Apes movies with Chuck were pretty silly also.

Hackers was so awesome.

I agree with both! :p I see your LB and CS and raise you a Clerks 2. It's so stupid, completely not my style of humor and yet I could NEVER watch it too many times. That movie cracks me up.

I feel like we've had this thread before, but my answer to this question will always be "Showgirls"! It's sooooooo bad...especially when you consider that Elizabeth Berkeley actually STUDIED for her role. How can I not nominate a movie with dialogue like this:

Cristal Connors: I've had dog food.
Nomi Malone: You have?
Cristal Connors: Mmm-hmmm. Long time ago. Doggy Chow. I used to love Doggy Chow.
Nomi Malone: I used to love Doggy Chow, too!

(quoted from IMDB)

Center Stage is cheesy, too, but what do you expect of real dancers who are trying to act? The dancing in that movie is really good. Especially when you compare it to Save the Last Dance, with Julia Stiles trying to pass herself off as a ballerina.

Love that movie

Ooh, just thought of this one: The Haunting (1999). Just wretched.

Also, having had nearly a year for reflection, I think Black Swan is headed for camp-classic status.

Since we're counting made-for-TV movies, I nominate Death of a Cheerleader, in which Kellie Martin takes out Tori Spelling, and the Woman Scorned movies---Meredith Baxter's scenery chewing is the greatest I've ever seen.

OMG...just saw BD last night. How amazingly terrible! It was ridiculously both horrifying and horrible....and I loved every minute of it!!!! :p

Xanadu.

roller-skating Muses, Gene Kelly and ELO. what's not to love?

Don't forget Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? The title alone is epic.

Oh and I have to throw in But I'm a Cheerleader! That movie was freaking ridiculous but I cracked up the whole way through!
SN: It annoyed me when SPT asks JS "Do you want Juliard?" and she's all tearful and they have a moment. She had told him she blew her audition to a dance school--she never told him it was Juliard. #scriptfail :rolleyes:

Concur 100%. I love that movie, even though it is terrible and completely unrealistic.

I have to love some bad 90's movies like The Craft, which is so bad, but completely addictive. Of course, my poor ten year old self loved it (but should not have been watching it). And yes, I bought it on DVD for $3.99.

And it's sad, but I love bad Lifetime movies. My absolute favorite is Pregnancy Pact. It's so terrible, but I still cried at the end. I have issues.

Unreal. It's hard to believe that people actually thought this film was even passable, let alone something to release. I laughed harder at this movie than I have at any other in years, and I was watching it by myself...

Troop Beverly Hills. It's so awful, but I have to watch if I come across it.

Has anybody said Snakes on a Plane?
