Thumbs up 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)
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)

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.

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.

Legally Blonde
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!

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

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.

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!"
