I'm sure this has been done a MILLION times, but my computer is too slow to do a search. I like The Crush-every single scene cracks me up. I haven't seen anything this funny (unintentional?) in a while. Any suggestions?

Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 12 December 2002 12:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, there's also Chasers (have I got the title right?) - Dennis Hopper plays a pervert with a fantastic false nose. Essential if you haven't seen it.

Can't Stop the Music - 1981? - by The Village People

I am NOT kidding! This is the greatest worst film of all effin' time. YOU MUST SEE THIS ONCE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, ALL OF YOU

Vic, Thursday, 12 December 2002 12:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Please see Boxing Helena.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 12 December 2002 12:24 (twenty-three years ago)

That (that) Vanilla Ice film, 'Cool As Ice'(?)

DavidM (DavidM), Thursday, 12 December 2002 12:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Even though everyone I know (that i've asked) likes "Hudson Hawk" it always gets billed in the tv listings as utter rub. they are wrong.

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 12 December 2002 12:29 (twenty-three years ago)

A Boy & His Dog

Caligula

Showgirls

Queen G (Queeng), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Starship Troopaz. I quite like Body Of Evidence tho with uh... whatshisname in it, I don't think you could call it completely bad. Oh uh Willem Dafoe!

nathalie (nathalie), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I endorse the suggestions of Can't Stop The Music and Showgirls. I'm always up for any old Hong Kong kung fu flick, good or bad.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Grease 2

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Ohmygod Grease 2 is spectacularly bad. I now have that re-pro-duct-ion song in my head!

smee (smee), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

every gary oldman film ever. especially state of grace. it really is a terrible, terrible film, but it's got gary oldman and sean penn in advanced states of alcoholism. and you get to see gary oldman, greasy as fuck with long dirty hair talking about how he has to take a bath cause he's finally got so dirty that he can smell himself. classic!

oh, and speaking of actually good actors having fun chewing scenery in crap, crap films, how about warlock? richard e grant and julian sands (mmmmmm, julian sands...) chomping their way through everything in sight, and muttering in bad scottish accents about how CREATION WILL BE UNMADE!!!

kate, Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

starship troopers is not a great bad film. it is a good good film.

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 12 December 2002 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Julian Sands has already featured in two suggestions above. He is always good for a rubathon.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 12 December 2002 14:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Is Julian Sands the anti-Bill Murray?

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 12 December 2002 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Dark Star - either a horribly sloppy fucked-up sci-fi flick, or a brilliant parody of every "serious" sci-fi flick out there... or some combination of the two. I don't know, but it's amazing.

Dave Fischer, Thursday, 12 December 2002 14:55 (twenty-three years ago)

best bit in hudson hawk (also weirdly stark and hardcore)

hot chick in red car "hey mister, are you gonna die?"

bob zemko (bob), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Does anyone remember the "Hieronymous Bosch" joke from...oh what was that film where L.A. gets covered by lava? Tommy Lee Jones is in it.

Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Search and Destroy
Communion

These are both genuinely good films which barely even registered on the straight-to-video-ometer...

Clue: C.Walken is in both. The hand-dance he does in Communion is sublime. The "penis-claw" film-pitch Ileanna Douglas does in Search and Destroy is the pinnacle of her somewhat overlooked career.

mark s (mark s), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Two guys are trying to rescue a giant Bosch painting from a museum.

Guy 1: Damn, this Hieronymous Bosch is HEAVY!
Guy 2: (I'm paraphrasing here) That's because he deals with man's inability to accept death,etc.

I'm so bad at this...

Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. You also must see this before you die.

j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:13 (twenty-three years ago)

Inclination to sin.

Ghost Dad.

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I enjoy bad films with dance-offs like Center Stage and Save The Last Dance. Oh, and City of the Living Dead!

Genevieve, Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:24 (twenty-three years ago)

"Stuart Saves His Family", which may in fact not be bad at all.

Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I endorse the suggestions of Can't Stop The Music and Showgirls.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. You also must see this before you die.

Both Wise and Good suggestions, nay, commands. On the hyperobscure but oh so entertaining level, Vampire On Bikini Beach is simply mindboggling -- and even or especially if you hate Star Trek, the fifth film (Final Frontier) is an extended car-wreck of massive proportions.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 December 2002 15:32 (twenty-three years ago)


*marlon brando in 'the island of dr. marreau (sp?)',
*anthony hopkins and his bearskin in 'legends of the fall',
*another christopher walken master stroke = "mascara..." in 'the comfort of strangers', which also features discussion of a 'forever fucking machine'
'vampire on bikini beach' --> reminds me of my favourite movie when i was 9, 'dr. goldfoot and the bikini machine'

minna (minna), Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Showgirls are both genius! Can't Stop the Music is really lousy, but fits this category perfectly.

Sean (Sean), Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:15 (twenty-three years ago)

My favourite part in Showgirls is when the girl opens the door on the bad woman and she is standing up and shaving her leg!

Also: Mannequin and lots of James Spader movies, esp Dream Lover.

Genevieve, Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:20 (twenty-three years ago)

St. Elmo's Fire

Jeff W, Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Evil Dead 2

Any movie where throwing-red-paint-on-a-wall = blood-shed...CLASS.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:32 (twenty-three years ago)

but... but... beyon the valley of the dolls is NOT BAD. it is the best film, ever, in the history of filmaking (that is not performance or barbarella). HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS FILM BAD, IT IS BRILLIANT!!! IT IS BETTER THAN A BENTLEY!!! BETTER THAN A BENTLEY! A BENTLEY! A BENTLY!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH...

kate, Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:38 (twenty-three years ago)

legends of the fall! yes! i always forget the name, but think of it as that ridiculously long film starring brad pitt's ass.

that madonna movie from the 80's...desperately seeking susan, was it?

JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:44 (twenty-three years ago)

reminds me of my favourite movie when i was 9, 'dr. goldfoot and the bikini machine'

Ha! One of my housemates just got this for cheap a while back and so we watched it. My god, does it drag at points and the alleged humor made me want to kill. But it's still great.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 December 2002 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm with Kate; BTVOTD really is one of the greatest ever.

Nick: you mean like "Tenebre"? Best red-paint-against-a-wall scene ever!

Sean (Sean), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:21 (twenty-three years ago)

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't see where anyone has mentioned Zardoz or Barbarella. The science fiction genre has brought us so many aimless plots, I feel a certain kinship.

Aimless, Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:34 (twenty-three years ago)

"Roadhouse" (especially the Swayze tai-chi scenes)

dan (dan), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:41 (twenty-three years ago)

It's just occurred to me that about half of the films Fred Ward has ever been in fit in this category. He must be the king of this thread.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:43 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, Tremors, fo' shiza.

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh God I forgot Tremors! God, I have no idea what I find so appealing about that film (other than the line "What the SHIT!?!", which literally had me pissing my pants with laughter), but I simply CANNOT turn it off once it's on!

And I know not of this "Tenebre" of which you speak, Sean, but I do now.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 December 2002 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

The Nude Bomb

Riding with Death.

Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 12 December 2002 20:17 (twenty-three years ago)

It stars Jim Stafford = it is pain.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 December 2002 20:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned and I used to make it a regular happening to dig out really bad but really entertaining movies and have showings. The last movie I sent out was "Blood Freak".

donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah yes, how did I forget that bit of joy? "GOBBLEGOBBLEGOBBLE!"

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:43 (twenty-three years ago)

"Lair Of The White Worm" deserves mention here.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 12 December 2002 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

And indeed almost everything else by Ken Russell. If only Fred Ward had been in a Ken Russell film, we'd have a clear winner. (He hasn't, has he?)

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 12 December 2002 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

buncha peops already said it but say it again : how the fuck is "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls" bad? it's probably the best film i've ever seen!

duane, Thursday, 12 December 2002 22:34 (twenty-three years ago)

it wz a zombies movie really tho, not a vamp movie

i liked the sort eternal twilight feel of the lighting

mark s (mark s), Sunday, 15 December 2002 12:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, and James Woods is always value for money.

I'm told he has a very attractive rear end for a man his age, but I wouldn't know...

Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Sunday, 15 December 2002 12:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Spice World, and -- if the following count -- Josie & the Pussycats and the Brady Bunch movies.

The first two are GREAT movies and the second two are bad movies that know they're bad movies, so they don't count.

Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Sunday, 15 December 2002 13:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Re: Requiem (YES, overrated, YES "ass-2-ass" deploarble) - "However, my god, the characters either"

- but hey! that FRIDGE really rocked man, not only the most interesting character in the movie but by-and-far _even though it got snubbed in the noms_ *THE* GREATEST PERFORMANCE BY A KITCHEN APPLIANCE, HANDS DOWN. Wuz so totally robbed by like Judi Dench or whoever

Vic, Sunday, 15 December 2002 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

it's all about beastmaster, y'all!

Tad (llamasfur), Sunday, 15 December 2002 20:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyone ever watch "Heartbreak Hotel"?

Michael Bourke, Sunday, 15 December 2002 20:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Speaking of James Woods, seeing him at the end of "The Boost" ain't too glamorous either. Drug scare films need to be really scary!!

Sean (Sean), Sunday, 15 December 2002 21:38 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.carpuzi.com/images/boost.jpg

erik, Sunday, 15 December 2002 22:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok, so the beginning was glamorous!

Sean (Sean), Sunday, 15 December 2002 22:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Can't believe no-ones said Lifeforce yet. Truly classic, Vampires from outer space lay waste to London. A gloriously hammy Frank Finlay, Mick Jagger's brother as a vampire and a pre-Star Trek Patrick Stewart in a role which he must have forgot to put on his cv.

Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Sunday, 15 December 2002 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

lifeforce starts REALLY well

mark s (mark s), Sunday, 15 December 2002 23:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Also, Rock N Roll Nightmare

A movie about Sammy Kurr, an 80s hair metaler/satantist who dies, comes back, and shoots lazers out of his guitar.

David Allen, Sunday, 15 December 2002 23:48 (twenty-three years ago)

The first two are GREAT movies and the second two are bad movies that know they're bad movies, so they don't count.

See, I might reverse that -- Brady Bunch & sequel, great movies; Spice World, bad movie that knows it's a bad movie. Josie & the Pussycats, I don't know. Some moments of both (I wish they'd found a genuine redhead to cast as Josie, but I don't have any complaints about RLC).

All of them fit the category of "movies I love to watch which many people groan at the very mention of," which I figured was a good criterion :)

erik, Sunday, 29 December 2002 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Dude, The Poisedon Adventure. That one is amazing. I love the part where Gene Hackman tells all the women - except the fat chick - to take off their dresses because "you can't climb in those". No one asks them to take off their spike heels though. It's brilliant. And he's supposed to be a priest or something, but he runs around screaming "You're all assholes! Why do you listen to that pompous dick!" It's brill.

Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 29 December 2002 18:58 (twenty-three years ago)

'Leprechaun IV: Leprechauns in Space'

geeta (geeta), Monday, 30 December 2002 07:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Cruel Intentions

Mary (Mary), Monday, 30 December 2002 08:35 (twenty-three years ago)

The Poseidon Adventure is indeed fantastic. Leslie Nielsen's deadpan performance as the ill-fated ships' captain, Shelley Winters' underwater ballet, the bit where the ship lurches and the cast are obliged to "flail" whereupon Gene Hackman takes the opportunity to feel up Carol Lynley...

Splendid film, but The Swarm is grander by a country mile.

michael wells (michael w.), Monday, 30 December 2002 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Speaking of Leprechaun, one must give some credit to Leprechaun in the Hood. Although it's really quite painful to watch as a whole, the zombie flygirls and the great rap song that they dance to are truly classic. Can't wait until Lebprechaun: Back in Da Hood comes out...

As for other cheesy horror, I've always been fond of the first Jack Frost film. Don't confuse it for the one featuring Michael Keaton--I'm talking about the one put out by APix in 1997 with the hologram of the killer snowman on the front of the box. It's probably best known for featuring Shannon Elizabeth in her first "big" role, but I've always loved it for the great one-liners and some of the worst child acting ever. Truly, the fucker IS a snowman!

Brad Koski, Monday, 30 December 2002 21:45 (twenty-three years ago)

My god, I totally forgot about 'Leprechaun in the Hood'!! That was Leprechaun V, wasn't it?

geeta (geeta), Monday, 30 December 2002 21:52 (twenty-three years ago)

How do you go from "Willow" to being the star of the "Leprechaun" franchise?

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 30 December 2002 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I believe it was the fifth film, although I'm not positive. I think they're trying to leave the numbers off now, maybe hoping that people won't connect the older ones with the newer ones.

I still can't believe that they're making a sequel to what is, by far, one of the worst sequels I've ever seen. Not that the original Leprechaun was anything that special, but Leprechaun in the Hood really didn't have that much going for it beyond the flygirls and the rapping... Yet, I still find myself on the edge of my seat waiting for the local Blockbuster to get a copy in.

Brad Koski, Monday, 30 December 2002 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Tank Girl.Lori Petty is just about right for the lead part,Malcolm McDowell is less sinister than his Clockwork Orange days but still makes a good 'baddie',Ice-T as a mutant kangaroo(HAHAHAHAHA!),and the oh-so-sexy Naomi Watts as Jet Girl(I do love a woman who knows how to correctly grip a tool!Fnar fnar!)Classic!

Eugene Speed (Eugene Speed), Monday, 30 December 2002 22:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I've seen Beastmaster mentioned but what about Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time? A girl drives a sports car through a brick wall into a desert? A man runs in place in front of a painted sunset? Hilarity.

Best tagline ever: Jack Frost - He's chillin... and killin.

Vinnie (vprabhu), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 03:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Army of Darkness

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 05:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Army of Darkness is just great! No bad involved whatsoever.

Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 05:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I agree, but it wasn't exactly about to win an Oscar or anything.

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 05:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Army of Darkness had future Xena and Hercules characters as Joxter and The Prince of Theives in it. And GREBT dialog. "Good, bad, Im the one with the gun." Best part is the extra who grabs a helmet and runs down with the skeletons in jeans holding a broom.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 05:41 (twenty-three years ago)

'Wild Things' totally lost me, that was the most complicated film ever. I didn't 'get' 'Usual Suspects' either. Am I retarded?

dave q, Tuesday, 31 December 2002 10:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Also I think I'm the only person alive who liked 'Prelude to a Kiss'

dave q, Tuesday, 31 December 2002 10:26 (twenty-three years ago)

I liked 'Field of Dreams' and 'Dances with Wolves' too

dave q, Tuesday, 31 December 2002 10:32 (twenty-three years ago)

'Charlie's Angels' was a masterpiece. I don't understand why everyone said the (admittedly also great) 'Brady Bunch Movie' was a classic and bagged on 'CA' so much, cuz 'CA' did the high-concept shit while also being more 'detailed' in the SparkleAuto sense than everything else in the shitcom/QT[sorry but after some consideration in the 'Genius'-v-charlatan dept. re Mr Potty Mouth I've decided that he's the Man, other ppl favorably re-graded to A+ status = Beck, Steve Albini] interface to date, sort of B Spears to 'Mulholland Drive''s W Coyne or T Yorke (compare the 'line-reading' scenes in both, also C Diaz' "I love...tickets!", D Barrymore's streaking vs. I Rossellini's) Plus I loved the shit w/ the killer muffins, the race cars, the 'Efficiency Expert' coke-machine skit, "I'm getting cold, Yoko!", Crispin Glover, the tuba gadget, the Japanese dialogue, everything! What a great flick! One weird thought I had tho - is the idea of having films about chicks who are completely perfect in every conceivable fashion supposed to be 'empowering' or does it just cause more depression as the standard 'role model' standard skyrockets into the stratosphere? Whatever, I loved it!

dave q, Tuesday, 31 December 2002 10:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, I agree, but it wasn't exactly about to win an Oscar or anything.

Yeah, but then most movies that are nominated for Oscars are at the pinnacle of craptitude.

Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

well dave q if it makes you feel any better I had trouble following part of the plot of Dumb and Dumber. For me, every movie is a whodunit.

felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

"Dumb and Dumber" had a plot?

The epitome of what Nicole is describing would have to be "JERRY MACOCKFARMER". Especially that ugly little kid.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

"Penitentiary II" ownz every other so-called bad film on this thread. Leon Isaac Kennedy + Mr T + midgets drinking wine = utter genius.

J0hn Darn13ll3 (J0hn Darn13ll3), Tuesday, 31 December 2002 22:13 (twenty-three years ago)

"Dumb and Dumber" had a plot?

At one point in the movie the one brother goes over to Lauren Holly's house, sees the other brother's truck parked in the driveway and goes home angry.

Later, I asked my friend "But how did he know that that other guy was over there?"

It was explained to me.
