Movies so bad, they're Awesome:

Luddite | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 06:32 pm     Just saw Final Destination on video this week. The best/worst scene from the movie, imho, is the gratuitous appearance of a creepy coroner. Most van Damme movies are on my list of "awesome" movies. My all-time favorite is Death Warrant, in which van Damme tells his new cellmate, "I don't pay. I don't punk." |
Enbwife | Sunday, October 08, 2000 - 07:43 pm     A Night at the Roxbury is one of those totally stupid movies, that is so hillarious, you'll love it if you're in the right mood. I laughed so hard in that movie I cried. Superstar is another one like that. So stupid it's funny! |

Twiggyish | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 05:45 pm     Jabberwocky with Monty Python. That had to be the funniest bad movie ever made. It is absolute genious. Others: Rocky Horror Picture Show Blazing Saddles = The campfire bean scene is priceless!! |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, October 10, 2000 - 05:46 pm     oops caught my word there, should be genius. |
Midwestern | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 12:29 pm     All cheesy Karate movies that take place during samurai times (I don't like the "modern" ones). I especially like the Shaolin movies. The USA network used to have Kung Fu Theatre on the weekends and I loved it!!! Now I can't find a good bad Karate movie on TV at all. I heard there's a good one coming out soon. It was shown at the Toronto film festival this year and was a big hit. I saw a clip on tv last week and it looks just like the old ones from Kung Fu Theatre. I'd love to know the name of it so I can watch for it. Has anyone heard of it? I know a lot of people thought Dirty Dancing was a great movie. I thought it was great because it was so bad and I've seen it probably 15-20 times. |
Pluckypanda | Wednesday, October 11, 2000 - 06:56 pm     Hey, Dirty Dancing is not bad! :o) What other movie can be sweet, campy and gratuitous at the same time? :o) The ultimate Jerry Orbach movie before his Law & Order days...and who can forget Jennifer Grey? Actually, probably a lot of people, lol... (judging by what happened to "It's Like, You Know" - shortlived ABC sitcom starring the aforementioned) |
Fruitbat | Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 06:48 pm     I'm not sure this is bad because I loved it but think it probably belongs here. One of my all time favorites.... >Mars Attacks |
Shmoopie | Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 07:14 pm     Absolutely Fruit ! |
Admin | Thursday, October 12, 2000 - 09:19 pm     Now Mars Attacks was cool. I wish I had some clipart with those little heads! |
Shmoopie | Friday, October 13, 2000 - 04:02 am     Now that would be great!! Maybe we can find one.. everyone scour the web! LOL

Enbwife | Saturday, November 18, 2000 - 02:04 pm     Superstar is another movie that is so dumb, it's funny!!! For those that like Molly Shannon (SNL) - you'll like this move.  |
Webkitty | Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 12:18 pm     I didn't want to start a new thread just to comment on this movie so I stuck in here, I definitely didn't think it was "awesome" Dr. T And The Women with Richard Gere & Helen Hunt I caught it last night on one of the premium channels (HBO or Showtime, can't remember) It was awful! Disjointed, no real plot, in bad taste in some parts, just the worst! Two thumbs down! Richard Gere is a good actor, but there wasn't too much he could do with this terrible script. I usually like Liv Tyler, but she seemed in a trance in all her scenes. On another note: A movie that was so silly and dumb that I ended up loving was: What Planet ARe You From? with Gary Shanling and Annette Benning. I think I've watched this on HBO maybe 10 times and still get a chuckle out of it. Another one was: Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen I saw it first when it was out in theaters. It was the only movie I have even seen that people in the audience actually clapped and whistled and WOO HOO'd at the end. Just loved it. Have watched that over and over on HBO too. |

Oregonfire | Wednesday, May 01, 2002 - 10:09 am     The Allnighter, a cheesy 80's movie starring Suzanna Hoffs of the Bangles. I loved it when I was 16. I caught some of it recently on TV, and amazingly, it still holds up! Joan Cusak is in too, has some funny lines, plus Dee Dee Pfieffer. |
Micknrc | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 10:20 am     Tomcats! Really awful, but hilarious guy humor. And that guy (Jerry O'Connell) just has the sweetest face/personality. I always like him when I see him (that Mars movie, etc.) Okay Ms. Twigs, I know I'm behind the times but REALLY! Rocky Horror is a CLASSIC! LOL It's not even a little bit bad. and you know one of Russell's first parts was in the Aussie stage production! |
Sia | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 10:59 pm     Hubby and I watched "Raptor" last night on DVD. What a stinker! The movie takes scenes directly from "Carnosaur," "Carnosaur 2" and "Carnosaur 3" and is one of the cheesiest B-movies I've seen lately. Corbin Bernsen co-stars in it with Eric Roberts (B-movie king!). I was yelling at the screen at the glaring inconsistencies and horrible editing. You won't believe the wooden, terrible acting performances and the stupid dialogue. Get this from the library; you don't want to pay for this bomb! The director (?) or producer and the leading lady (never heard of her; she was hired for her killer body) did the audio commentary for the DVD and were drinking beer and getting ridiculous during their recoding session. Just unbelievably bad. If you have no idea what "Raptor" is about, imagine combining an extremely poor rip-off of "Jurassic Park" with "Halloween" slasher-type movies--except with goofy rubber dinosaurs less convincing than Godzilla-- and you'll have a good idea of where this is going. At least it attempted to have a plot. You'll need a few beers to get through this one. |
Hippyt | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 07:23 pm     My all time fav!!!! Urban Cowboy!!!! I watch at least some of this movie everytime it's on TV. |
Cjr | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 07:28 pm     I'm with you Hippyt. Urban Cowboy will get me hooked everytime I see it. |
Hummingbird | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 08:26 pm     Anaconda! Love Jon Voight now that he is older and playing these campy villan roles. This one is full of unintentionaly funny scenes and lines. And J-Lo's butt is at it biggest ever! |
Fabnsab | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 02:41 am     Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead!! It is one of those movies you are embarrassed to say you love. |
Heyltslori | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 09:06 am     Favorite line from Mars Attacks... "well they ain't gettin' the tv!" lol |
Curiouscat | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 03:59 am     The old Japanese Godzilla movies - the voiceovers, fake buildings/landscape models being destroyed by the monsters, people getting stepped on by the monsters ... the monsters, themselves. I loved watching these as a kid. My favourite monster was the turtle, whats-his-name? |
Hummingbird | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:01 am     Andy Worhol's Frankenstein. |
