Is there any movie you like, but know is bad ?.. bad story, bad directing, bad acting, bad everything.
I can say I like The Substitute (1996, Robert Mendel, starring Tom Berenger) a lot more than I should :roll: Why ? God knows, might be all that crack my mother took while pregnant. 8)
well there are alot of b-movies i like, but theyre usually cult films. other than those, i actually like four rooms, and city of industry. i also really enjoyed 54 the first time i saw it.
54 really qualifies for this category :)
City of Industry, another Stephen Dorff ! I like this story of him (On IMDB) : "Was considered for the part of Jack in "Titanic". Stephen was glad that he didn't play the part because he would have been always remembered for being that guy on the boat." Very smart move of him, instead of being remembered as the guy on the boat, he will now be able to not being remembered.
speaking of stephen dorff and movies that are bad yet entertaining, he was in a film about apartheid, the power of one. i really thought he did a fantastic job in the movie: great english accent too. overall, he's pretty underrated but that's partially his fault cuz he chooses fairly shitty roles. ahem...fear.com...ahem...
Where's Bonanzataz?
Do you mean good bad movies, or bad good movies? I have watched The Wild Party a bunch of times, even though it's really not very good. For some reason, I feel compelled to watch it. It is not James Ivory's best film, as it was done on a low budget for American International Pictures, but it has that great mid-70's decadence that only the mid-70's could have. Plus, it is wonderful camp -- Raquel Welch belting out showtunes, James Coco going into a Fatty Arbuckle-esque rage, Perry King playing a sleazeball leading man. Recently, the same source material inspired two separate Broadway musicals.
do BILL AND TED count? because they rule. i mean, how many bonehead comedies can you think of that have homages to Ingmar Bergman movies? you wont see that in DUDE WHERES MY CAR. BOGUS JOURNEY rulez.
Army of Darkness. All the way.
Aren't we talking about shitty movies that aren't cool and don't have a "cult status"...? I love Bill and Ted and Army of Darkness, but they're both kind okay to enjoy and still remain cool: they have a certain outsider charm to them (and I think thy're both actually well made - they achieve what they intend to)...
I'm gonna put myself out there and admit that - due to working in a multiplex at the time, and therefore seeing it 20 or 30 times - I have a completely irrational love for American Pie. The first time I saw it I thought it was pretty funny - but actually sincerely poorly made (it shows that it's a first-time for the directors), but a strange thing happens when you watch this teen-sex movie over and over again: you become seriously emotionally attatched to the characters... I found myself waiting for - not the funny scenes - but the piss-poor, sappy, romance moments when I watched it. I think it's just that I watched it so often over such a long period of time: it kind of grew with me I guess. Plus, no matter how shittily a love scene is executed, you can't help but relate it to whoever the person in your life is who you have those feelings for at that time. This just happened to be the movie because I spent so much time with it - I suppose it could've been any film really...

I took this thread to mean "Guilty Pleasures."
Exactly! I don't think Dawn of the Dead is a guilty pleasure either - that's another damn fine movie with a cult status...
REALITY BITES? does this count? its not cool.
Congo and Island Of Doctor Moreau (Frankenheimer version). They suck, but I love 'em.
ahh yes...congo. fantastic. fantastically bad.
bedazzled is a good bad movie if there ever was one.
Hmm, I'll go so far as to say Bedazzled is just a good movie. No need to put "bad" in there.
it has its heart in the right place...that's why i like it. but i wouldn't really call it a good movie. the ending is awful. and a decent amount of the gags fall flat. it's an enjoyable movie with funny performances by elizabeth hurley and brendan fraser but not at a "good" one in my opinion, especially within the realm of really good sophisticated comedy.
a litmus test: would you feel comfortable displaying it on your DVD shelf?
good topic...
Here is some selections- Goulies 1-whatever, weekend at bernies, wierd science, cyborg , hudson hawk, last action hero, jaws the revenge.

Damn straight I would. I liked the ending, where he asks the chick out and even though he "learned" his lesson, it was still creepy, and she ended up saying no. So he went off and found her double, who cares, it's a comedy. I just love the opening though, it's one of my favs ever. And all the little skits in the middle (particularily "there's no 'I' in team") had me howling. And Hurley's not bad to look at, either. All in all, a much better comedy than any of the Austin Powers shit people find so funny.
yeah. i like the part at the end where he's riding his bike up the san francisco hill and smiles... seems sorta out of the blue, but also makes sense cuz he's just made a major change in his life...it's funny and weirdly touching.
by the way, i agree. austin powers sucks a big fat siberian wang.
Anyone else seen Octopus? To be honest this is so bad that it probably doesn't even deserve to be classed as a Z film. I saw it, strange enough, at about 2am in Ho Chi Minh City last year.
If you get the chance, grab it. A turd of this magnitude deserves special praise. I broke 4 ribs laughing, 3 of them mine.
Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. I'm sure to the objective observer it looks and feels directly phoned in from bad-sitcom-land, but I think it's great.
ohh four rooms is bad, so bad
the kid part was good
but qt's scene was a mess
and the witches was a " Im so cool" circle jerk
a bunch of woman trying to look cool and relevent and well BORING

what the...*utterly confused*
romy and michele is funny and often really clever. not just the brilliant line readings by Janeane Garafalo, Lisa Kudrow, and Mira Sorvino, but also the clever visual irony that director David Mirkin infuses into the directing. probably from his experience producing the Simpsons.
put simply, it's just one of those movies where it seems that everyone involved was really intelligent. the acting, the directing, the writing, it's all clever and witty. that it occasionally fails is ok because it never really insults the intellignece.
definitely gets the pookie stamp of approval. :-D

I thought the QT part was the only one worth its salt. I loved it.
Oh, I also love From Dusk 'till Dawn. That's pretty b-movie-ish.
