Good "Bad" Movies

[UhClem]

"Dark Star" is on Movies! this weekend. In case you want to see someone arguing with a sentient planet busting bomb.

But some movies are so awful (Manos!) that only robots in the front row make it watchable.

Oh man, Army of Darkness is one of The Greats! But "good bad movies"? I'd like to nominate "Waterworld". Some great scenes, lines and characters. That character, Depth Gauge? "Oh, thank God" I can relate

For you car guys:

An illegal Norwegian car race: Oslo to Cape North. A fun drive! Saw it at a film fest a few years ago

"Borning"

No one mentioned "Bubba Ho-Tep" ... ?

OH YES!! How could I have forgotten BHT??? A true classic!

 

[NateB]

I missed this one earlier, a short - Toxie vs. Putin

 

[Brian Ditmer]

Repo Man

 

[Citizen Baslim]

Going through the ones I have on hand...

Earth Girls are Easy
Eating Raoul
Mom And Dad Save The World
Reefer Madness
Tucker And Dale Vs Evil
Wasting Away (aka Aaah! Zombies!!)
Tank Girl

Was wondering how long it would take to mention Tank Girl. Seconded.

Fire Maidens from Outer Space. When the old dude who runs the planet has a mural of his nearly naked, hot mom on the wall, I’m shocked young men in 1956 weren’t creeped out!

 

[JackC]

Cat Women of the Moon (1953).

Supposedly macho American astronauts use their sidearms to kill unarmed cat women. Very manly?!

 

[Rocket Al]

Robert Kurtzman’s “The Rage”

Mad scientist. Mutated vultures. Mutated people. Yours truly dies in a most memorable way.
I work in the film business, so I’ve worked on some of the films listed, so it tickles me that people enjoy them that much.

Let's not forget, The Blob and Beware the blob. Night of the lepus ranks up there with tremors.

In the beginning, there was darkness..... Great movie. Bouncing ball as an alien and a frozen head as a captain. Top night in, pizza, movie and beer.

They Live

and another Rowdy Roddy Piper film I was unaware of until a couple weeks ago:

Hell Comes To Frogtown

Heavy Metal

Heavy metal was awesome! Heavy Metal 2000 however was a bit lame...

The VelociPastor, Llamageddon and Ouija Shark are streaming on Amazon Prime if you want to kill a few hours.

Another one I forgot about is Redneck Zombies. I've lent the DVD out a bunch of times. I like to tell people that if they truly like it they can keep the movie.....I always get it back.

Mars Needs Women. A true classic in every sense of the word.

 

[Steven]

The Wild Women Of Wongo was just a hilariously, horrible movie. Also pretty much anything by John Waters is silly. Roger Corman came out with some hit and miss movies. A highly prolific producer, director and actor having produced over 500 movies, directed over 50, acted in over 40, and wrote 11.

 

[bwayne64]

Cannon Ball Run
Saturn 3
The Wraith
Ice Pirates
Gator
Battle Beyond the Stars
Enemy Mine
Black Moon Rising

Got hundreds of them, ; )

 

[FlyBoy]

Rock and Roll High School
Hooper
Back to the Beach

Well, I just remembered this one...
It's pretty bizarre... funny, but bizarre.

Fire Sign Theater's - "Everything You Know Is Wrong"

[RocketT.Coyote]

Moontrap
Tank
Weekend Warriors

 

[Zbench]

Before my precious and the rings of Mordor there was: Dead Alive. Off the charts ridiculous and funny and gory.

[Wally Ferrer]

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra... if you like that sort of thing...

 

[allensmith]

Iron Sky
(the first one only, the sequels are awful, even by B-movie standards).

I watched Iron Sky a few days ago. Perfect for this list. Good choice.

For Elvis movies, it's hard to top "Clambake." One source online calls it "The Citizen Kane of beach party movies."



I actually have sat through most of Elvis's movies (something I don't often openly admit) and I have to admit "Clambake" does stand out, especially for this thread.

Zardoz! (or how I almost killed my career)
I think this is the cream of dystopian dreck.
