Spinoff: Bad movie you Love
 
So in a spinoff to the movies everyone loves but you hate...

What are some bad movies that you actually enjoy?

Some of mine:

**Dirty Dancing - okay I'm sorry it's a bad movie. Bad dialouge, bad story - but I LOVE it lol
**Mannequin - ONe of my favorite 80's movies
**Encino Man and Son-in-Law - lol...I don't know why - I always liked those movies
**Ghostbusters 2 - I like it better than the first -used to watch it literally every single day when I was in 5th grade lol...

DrummerDeanna 01-11-2005 05:11 PM

I've never even heard of that movie- but it sure sounds like a real winner :laugh:

Which reminds me - there's also a bad 80's movie I think it's called "Santa Clause the Movie" - it's got Dudley Moore in it as an elf - I love that movie as well :nod:

I doubt it. Berry looked like a first-time dominatrix and Sharon Stone looked like she'd been locked in a basement for months without any sunlight. Gawd, one was nominated for an Oscar, the other one won an Oscar. Who would have guessed?

Ugh, green was not that girls color. She looked like a pea-soup nightmare.

How they went so wrong after having Kim Basinger, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nicole Kidman in the other ones is beyond me.

Oh my word, we were separated at birth. :laugh:

I love ALL of those movies. Got Swing Shift for Christmas, too. :D Love Christine Lahti in that one.

Exit To Eden, my god. I saw that when I was 14 in the theater. I didn't know if I was gay or straight after seeing Rosie in bondage gear. And Iman? Was a hoot.

Exit to Eden is SO bad that it makes me laugh like a maniac... it's painful. The acting, especially Dana Delaney and her love slave... so bad so bad so bad, and I love them. I guess it's more a trainwreck for me- whenever it's on, I can't look away.

You've Got Mail & While You Were Sleeping are totally bad. But in the best way.

Dude, hardly anyone even remembers Swing Shift!! I love it. Have you watched any of Jack and Bobby? Christine Lahti is banging Bradley Cooper (Will from Alias) and it compels me for some reason.

And you've seen the Peanut Butter Solution?!?!?!

Did you watch it all the way through until the credits were finished so that you could hear Rosie's impression of Iman? :rolleyes: :laugh:

Gawd, one of the worst movies ever made. I mean, it's Ishtar bad.

I've seen it a few times and think she's fab in it. But she's ALWAYS good. They desperately need to bring back Cooper to Alias, though.

Of course I've seen the Peanut Butter Solution, I own it. :xoxo: I love all the old 80s kids flicks, I grew up with them. Ever seen The Land of Faraway with Christian Bale and Timothy Bottoms? I LOVE that one. I even own Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie. :eek: Let's see, what about Kidco? Or The Purple People Eater?

I consider it a very funny movie too but the reviews I had read weren't flattering. :shrug:

David 01-11-2005 07:20 PM

It's hard to explain why some bad movies are entertaining while others just suck. I love all these movies.

Robot Monster (The worst movie ever made, as far as I can tell -- the "Mime of Love" scene is one I will take to my grave)

Voyage Into Space (a CLASSIC piece of **** -- do you remember little schoolboy Johnny Sokko, in his shorts & suspenders, who commands Giant Robot to beat up the bad guys by speaking into his watch?)

The Incredible Mr. Limpet (Loved it as a child & still do -- it's perfect for newfangled postmodern interpretations)

Babes in Toyland (Disney junk but I love it)

Million Dollar Legs (Probably the worst movie W.C. Fields ever made, but still a hoot -- although you laugh at it as often as you laugh with it)

It's Pat (One of the damnedest things I've ever seen)

Another Man's Poison (Bette Davis & Co. on the English moors)

Slightly Scarlet (Noir with plenty of howlers)

The Poseidon Adventure/The Towering Inferno/Earthquake (Watching people die in large numbers is very amusing in a typical Irwin Allen production)

War of the Gargantua (My personal pick of the men-in-rubber-suits-attack-Tokyo genre. This one features a camp classic moment: Sophisticated lounge singer aboard a cruise ship singing "The Words Get Stuck in My Throat," only to be gobbled up seconds later by the sea monster, which spits out her clothes after consuming her flesh)

Detour (A noir classic, & a damned fun movie to watch; but it's baaad . . . it's like a spoof of a parody of a pastiche of noir conventions)

All Fall Down (More post-Freudian stuff from William Inge)

Valley of the Dolls (Vapid & hysterical, this mess has something to do with pill-popping young women who claw their way to the top of the entertainment profession, only to plummet back to Earth in a fireball. There are scenes of supreme, howlingly painful badness that will live forever)

National Lampoon's Senior Trip (unfortunately, less fun than a lot of the other stupendously bad movies, but Rob Moore shines)

Splendor in the Grass (Freudian camp about adolescents who don't get enough sex & who subsequently go insane -- as one critic said, "the old corn, fermented in a new way")

Naked Gun, etc.

Plan 9 from Outer Space (nicely representative of Ed Wood's oeuvre)

The Thief of Baghdad (Steve Reeves version)

Balalaika (Nelson Eddy in a flop operetta -- best howler number is "Ride, Cossack, Ride")

The Star (Great Bette Davis tantrum -- Sterling Hayden gets it this time)

Beyond the Forest (Bette Davis, sweating from pent-up sexuality, swings her hips around & growls "What a dump!")

Naughty Marietta (Entertaining atrocity with Jeanette Macdonald & Nelson Eddy -- when those two profiles come together singing "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life," it's peerless)

Isle of the Dead (Val Lewton at low -- very low -- ebb)

I liked Splendor, too, but it was irritating, of course. I just really love Natalie Wood... :p

Isle of the Dead (Val Lewton at low -- very low -- ebb)

Voyage Into Space is just a few episodes of the TV series stitched together. The actual episodes were even worse than the "movie." Lord, was that bad.

If it wasn't for "Sweet Mysteries of Life, " Naughty Marietta would be unwatchable. And Frank Morgan is at his most obnoxious in every one of his scenes.

Jason Robards alone made Isle of the Dead unwatchable, but it's worth watching at least once for the ridiculous dialogue. Hilariously bad but incredibly entertaining. No wonder horror films get bad raps, though.

If you thought Valley of the Dolls was a hoot, you should check out Russ Meyer's "sequel," Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. That hack Roger Ebert even co-wrote it. Valley of the Dolls still wasn't anywhere near as campy, trashy, or hilariously bad as the book. But it is only rated PG, after all.
