Best Bad movies

[Mirth]

Since nobody's mentioned it: Point Break.

Horrible acting. Ridiculous plot. Johnny Utah. Surfing Bank Robbers.

It never stood a chance of being good, yet it is amazingly brilliant. I've already written the direct-to-video sequel. Now if I can just get Jake Busey, Jan-Michael Vincent, Pat Hingle and the Olsen twins on board, my dream project can be made.

I'm dead serious.

Really.

Wait... wasn't that The Fast and the Furious?

That is such an insult to Point Break that I'm not even gonna reply.

Wait. Oh. Damn Your Blue Hide!!!

Buddy, I enjoyed Point Break too.

But swap the surfboards for cars, and the banks for trucks. The Fast and the Furious is as blatant a remake of Point Break as Ten Things I Hate About You was of The Taming of the Shrew, say.

Hell, close your eyes and listen while Paul Walker's talking, and tell me you can tell the difference between his voice and Keanu's...

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.

I mentioned it among others...
It's riveting to me for some reason - whenever it's on, I HAVE to watch it.

Orgazmo is one of mine as well, as is Leprechaun In The Hood with Ice-T, which I find unutterably funny. Maybe it wasn't made that way. But it came out that way.

I'm so ashamed.

So what? Paul Walker and Keanu are about even, but say what you will about Vin Diesel, the guy's got charisma, all the more so compared to Patrick Swayze. And Michelle Rodriguez vs. Lori Petti? I'll watch Rodriguez ironing her clothes, she beats out Petti any day of the week.

Which leaves tricked out cars racing around semis and one badass Charger vs. masks of President Nixon and wave surfing. Give me cars. Point Break was an entertaining movie, but The Fast and the Furious took the idea and surpassed it on all levels. Nothing wrong with borrowing formulas when you reach that end result.

No argument from me. I was responding to the suggestion that relating the two movies was an insult to Point Break.

I was making no comment as to the relative worths of the two films... just noting that the relationship is... hard to miss

Ah. Cool.

Yep. If Speed was "Die Hard on a bus" then The Fast and the Furious was "Point Break with cars."
