Best Bad movies

Commando

Truly B-A-D.

Truly F-U-N.

"Please don't disturb my friend. He's dead tired."

"What happened to Sully?"
"I let him go."

"Let off some steam, Bennett!"

Awesome. I love that movie.

And the lines in The Running Man are right up there as well

Ankh - actually, no.

The only people who are absolved from blame for re-posting a thread that has exactly been done before are people who meet both criteria:

a) are newbies who weren't around when the thread was done.
b) if the thread wasn't within the past month or 2 (meaning that if someone IS new, they should read back at least 3 pages before starting a new thread)
c) they aren't a Community Supporter (i.e. they can't search).

If all 3 of those are passed, then what should happen is that the first Community Supporter that reads the re-thread should post a quick link to the thread which discussed the same exact subject, and then the re-thread should be closed.

That's what's done on other boards, so I don't see why that's a pipe dream.

Sorry for starting it, geez...you know you don't have to read it, right?

Don't apologize. Fun thread, even if it is a re-thread!

"What hapened to Buzzsaw?"

"He had to split!"

"What hapened to Buzzsaw?"

"He had to split!"

"What a pain in the neck."

"What a hot-head."

"Here's Sub-Zero... now plain zero."

And of course, my favourite Arnold "What the hell does that mean?" line of all time: "Uplinks, underground! Uplinks, underground! I'll uplink your ass - then you'll be underground!"

Black Samurai starring the one and only Jim Kelly.

Master of the Flying Guillotine
Five Deadly Venoms
Clash of the Titans
Beastmaster
Evil Dead 2
Orgazmo
The Sword and the Sorceror
Yellowbeard

OK, first of all The Hulk. I refused to go see it because the Hulk should never be remade as long as Bill Bixby remains in his grave. Him (and Lou Farigno) are the Hulk and no one can fill their shoes, especially not some Hollywood prettyboy and a green CGI staypuff marshmellow man.

Its funny that Mars Attacks was the first movie mentioned. I saw it on DVD the day I had my wisdom teeth removed. As if that movie wasn't sick enough, I had to pause every few minutes to spit blood into the sink. I was feeling nautious for over half the movie, which I think, enhanced the viewing experience.

The Mummy Returns was a bad movie? Did I miss that memo? I thought it did well both in the box office and with the reviewers.

Now, my list:

Highlander 2 - yep, I like it!
The Sword and the Sorcerer - is this out on DVD? If so, I want it.
Kull the Conqueror - I liked it, though I think it would have been better if the battles would have been bloody like they were in the Conan movies. I mean it's a barbarian flick. You have to have blood in a barbarian flick! *sigh*
Clash of he titans - one of the best B movies ever.
Scorpian King - roxxors. Where's the damn sequel where he turns into the badass we see in the Mummy II?
The Running Man - Classic Arnold fun movie. We need more of those these days.

chill out threadcop that's what the mods are for.

I must admit that my favorite movie ever is Streets of Fire. My wife looked at me and said "what the hell is that crap" and left the room last time I watched it but I'm used to that kind of reaction. What can you say about a movie that mixes the 50's with the early 80's.

Others:
Anaconda, come on it's got Ice Cube and a snake that breaks the laws of physics, how cool is that.

Hardware, a movie that gives fat disgusting stalkers and killer robots a bad name. A must see for bad movie goodness.

The Big Hit, It's easy to imagine that Mark Walberg wasn't actually acting. What a fun movie.

The Mummy Returns was a bad movie? Did I miss that memo? I thought it did well both in the box office and with the reviewers.

First off, I liked it.

It did very well at the box office, but critics weren't so kind. Ebert & Roper both gave it thumbs down, I believe. It was pretty much dismissed as being just a filmed "video game".

There's a review website, www.scoopy.com , that lists the critics' and public's opinions as well as the box office. Here's what they have say about Mummy Returns:

The Critics Vote:

General consensus: between two and two and a half stars. Ebert 2/4, Berardinelli 2.5/4, Apollo 63/100.

Rotten Tomatoes summary. 47% positive reviews, only 35% from the inner circle.

The People Vote:

With their votes ... IMDB summary: IMDb voters score it 6.6/10, Apollo users 77/100

With their dollars ... it did a blockbuster-level $201 million in the USA, was also a major overseas hit. It was made for $95 million dollars.

They rate movies by letter grade and gave the film a "C".
