Best Bad movies

[Richards]

Mine is "Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster." The one where Godzilla uses his fire breath to jet propel himself (backwards no less!) through the air.

I've seen that movie more times than any other - several dozen times, at least. (It was on just about monthly on the weekends when I was a kid, it seems.)

In the words of my buddy, "It's all about Godzilla! I mean, it's a guy in a rubber suit stomping on a model of Tokyo -- it's a universal language!"

It's okay to like sappy "It's a Wonderful Life" But come on! Charlie's Angels'!??! Battlefield Earth?!! The ugh factor on ALL those is beyond rank.

As Barendd Nobeard said, that's the point of the thread.

Besides, Battlefield: Earth has a better script than The Phantom Menace or Matrix Reloaded. Better acting, too.

I'm a big Godzilla fan, so Godzilla vs King Kong is on my list. I think rubber monster movies should probably be their own category.

Other than that, The Beastmaster is probably my favorite bad movie. TBS used to show it practically every other day at one time.

I'm sorry, but B:E is beyond simply bad, it's like Highlander 2. Showing it should trigger assault charges.

Max Von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, and Brian Blessed obviously got the memo, but Sam Jones and Melody Anderson apparently missed it

I'm not sure I can agree with you on that. Max, Tim and Brian's characters were all supposed to be over the Top. Flash is the noble square jawed character. Short of going into parody, someone has to play the straight guy, to all the comics.

I think that's the point of this thread.

I liked The Hulk. I think I was the only one in America who did.

The Hulk was really cool..... when Hulk was actually in the movie. Problem? He was only in about 30% OF THE MOVIE!!!!!

Bruce Banner was intensly boring, which is what killed it for me. More HULK! More HULK!

 

[Kesh]

Wow! Porn that actually had a story in it?

Yep. I'm rather torn about buying the next disc, because I want to see where this story is going... but the sex is just horribly, horribly trite and over-the-top. And it interrupts the story.

[automatic]There's no such film.[/automatic]

Yeah, but he (and Dale) took themselves a little too seriously.

Like I say, it's one of my favourite films ever. But Flash and Dale really come across at times as if they think they're in a different movie.

Here are a few of mine (some of which have already been mentioned):

• Hawk the Slayer
• Beastmaster
• D&D Movie
• D&D cartoon (not a movie, I know)
• Supernatural Monster City (anime) - this one also goes by other names that I can't recall
• Blood of Heroes
• Clash of the Titans
• Jack the Giant Killer
• Merlin - made for TV movie
• Jason and the Argonauts - 2000 version. I also like the earlier one.

Could someone post a link to the "Guilty Pleasures" thread, because this has been done already.
:thumbsdown:

That said, I'll definately add D&D the Movie.
And I'm serious when I say I could probably defend liking Showgirls fairly well.
Many people bag on Underworld, but I don't think it needs defending as a Guilty Pleasure.
I also liked Conan: the Destroyer, and Kull the Conquerer.
Ditto Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil.
Many people hate Oscar, but it's definately a guilty pleasure, as is Point Break.

edit: oh yeah - I've defended A Knight's Tale many times on this very board from slobbering wanna-be critics before they even saw the movie.
And I liked Scorpion King, Cutthroat Island, Spawn, House on Haunted Hill (1999), LXG, Treasure Planet, Jurassic Park 2 and 3.... it goes on and on.
