[–] gmatkins 1 points 1 year ago

I love a bad movie but I could not handle Street Trash.

Joe Dirt!

It was so hilariously awful, I love it.

Don't really have a top list, but that's the one I always come up with when asked.

Any chance you follow The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs?

Oh man I loved Phantasm. I was blown away when I found out they made more than one.

Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you'll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.

Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey

I'm mostly just thrilled that Disney finally lost something to the public domain. (And, yes, I know it was acquired by Disney and not originally created by Disney.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Disney finally lost something to the public domain.

I'm not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good call. I didn't realize there were still places where the original works were still under copyright. But in retrospect, I should have thought of that possibility.

I suppose that makes Blood and Honey a pirate film, which is still good in my book. It'll be interesting to see if Disney decides to bring any legal cases in the UK or anything.

Black Dynamite is so bad it's good again!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Noooo not the childreeeen :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I guess I don't really watch too many 'bad' movies because I don't have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.

But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Zombeavers was pretty entertaining

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
  • Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it's a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
  • Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
  • Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
  • Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock "masterpiece"
  • just... all of the American Ninja movies
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  • nazi sky
  • bring me the head of the machine gun woman

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

haha sadly, I don't... it's actually a cover of that movie afaik

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The only possible answer is House of the Dead, followed by all other Uwe Boll movies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Timeline (2003) just for β€œNight Arrows!”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Within a few minutes of watching it I knew it was going to be awesomely bad, and it lived up to my expectations

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thankskilling is truly a gem!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Iron sky: for the moon Nazis, it does not take itself seriously and benefits greatly. Cockneys Vs Zombies: better than it has any right to be

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ah Frankenhooker, a certified Jim Glickenhaus classic!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Reanimator

Basket Case

Terror vision

Nightmare in a damaged brain

Demons

Brain Damage

And I could go on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice to see love for Frank Henenlotter. Basket Case and Brain Damage are both quite good. I couldn't tell you why I had a preference for Frankenhooker. Maybe it's the Super Crack?

  • The Abominable Dr. Phibes
  • Dr. Phibes Rises Again
  • [insert any three Ed Wood movies here]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I only have one, and it is 'Samurai Commando Mission 1549'

The japanese self defense force goes back in time to defend Japan against from... Also the japanese self defense force. The plot never makes any sense, nothing gets resolved. But it's glorious.

[–] gmatkins 2 points 1 year ago

Anything TROMA. Hell, everything TROMA.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting, but here's what comes to mind:

  • Birdemic
  • Samurai Cop
  • Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don't see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.

I am a fellow connoisseur of bad film here are some of my favorite

Show Girls - Everyone in this movie is a top flight actor or dancer, except the star who is awful at both

The Room - Duh

Troll 2 - Double Duh

Leprechaun 5 - takes blacksploitation to another level, this movie is a wild ride

Bangkok Dangerous - Nic Cage stars in a stereotypical action flick that veers sharply off a cliff when his then wife at the time randomly appears and makes it a love story. However, she didn't really speak English so they made her character a deaf mute.

There are a ton of awful softcore porns from the 90s, would be glad if someone could add to the list but I really like playmate of the apes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have been specifically looking for bad softcore porn from the 90s, and would gladly take any other recs you have to give.

I did also discover the Full Moon streaming service just the other day, which largely seems to have porn films with most of the actual porn edited out. It's surprisingly watchable.

[–] shenanigans 1 points 1 year ago

They probably kept all the good parts for themselves

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Misread it first, it's about favorite bad movies. Let's start with the Expendables and let me think about it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Living in Israel for over a year as a non-Jew, the religious laws really got to me. Not being able to take public transit on Shabbat (particularly the train from the airport). When they cordoned off the leavened bread in the markets for passover. The long holiday season when everything was closed for weeks (though that must be how Jews feel everywhere else in December).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think Lemmy farted and you ended up in the wrong thread…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or maybe their choices are so bad they couldn't live with the shame of sharing them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All the classics of course, but to go for a lesser mentioned one: Frankenfish.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_ 1 points 1 year ago

Primo Baby

Troll 2

Chopping Mall

Ator The Fighting Eagle (MST3k)

Birdemic (Rifftrax)

It hurts me to type this, but I know Highlander is objectively a bad movie, but I will always love it regardless!

OP asked the wrong question. There can be only one
