Your favorite BAD movie?

[phillybri]

I'm talking about those movies that suck but are incredibly watchable and ALWAYS suck you in.

Bill Simmons from ESPN.com refers to these flicks as SLANFARE (the acronym for "surfing late at night for anything remotely entertaining").

What's your favorite SLANFARE movie?

Karate Kid III will always get the job done for me...

[terrya]

1. "Mommie Dearest". I ALWAYS watch this movie. Anytime it's on.

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

18. Me too!

It's awful! :scared:

[arwalden]

28. Why... Can't You... Give Me... The Same Respect... That You'd Give

to a STRANGER ON THE STREET????!!!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

40. Because ..... I am NOT .... one of your FANS!

[arwalden]

51. Aaaaaa!!!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

48. NO...WIRE...HANGERS...

:D

[Fenris]

2. ROADHOUSE!

:D

[phillybri]

4. YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!

"You can be my regular Saturday night thing!"

Classic!

[GOPisEvil]

8. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a true classic of badness!

[Fenris]

26. I was waiting for you to chime in, you bastard!

"A polar bear fell on me."

:D

[GOPisEvil]

27. Where are Zomby and Professor GAC?!

:bounce:

[Fenris]

30. I think it's safe to say this is DU's favorite bad movie.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

37. The Double Douche!

:D

[Zomby Woof]

54. Dalton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

[XanaDUer]

3. C.O.B.R.A.

Unspeakably awful, yet funny.

[7th_Sephiroth]

41. Onmyoji

made in 2002, SFX from the 1950's

[UdoKier]

71. Onmyoji was not a bad film

It was exactly what it set out to be: a fun romp full of magic and humor. I loved Onmyoji.

[7th_Sephiroth]

74. yeah, i do, too

its not a bad film, homo erotic, funny, mystical, fun,action packed ect. just it falls in the category of wierd

[Guy Fawkes]

5. Tremors (1, 2, or 3. I haven't seen 4)

GRABOIDES! AAAAAAH!

[sendero]

59. The kids and I LOVE Tremors!

One and Two are really good, Three is not bad. Four is a "prequel" and is not as good as the others and doesn't have any of the original cast except for "Bert".


Tremors (all of them) are really great movies to watch with kids, they enjoy it and you can too :)

[sidestreamer]

6. Conan the Destroyer

But if you just want something dreadfully horrible, I'd recommend "Manos, the Hands of Fate." :scared:

[phillybri]

7. I have that on VHS...

The MST3K version...Priceless...

[Tempest]

9. Battlefield Earth and Waterworld

Oh, and The Postman.

[RodneyCK2]

10. Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie

This thing was so bad, it took weeks before I could dislodge it from the bottom of my shoes. Jeremy Irons must have been laughing all the way through the script under his breath. The best thing is to watch the DVD's director's comments and witness the praise he showers on himself and the movie. What a gas.

It was a shame, I am a big D&D fan and this movie needed a director like Peter Jackson to pull it off. Oh well, such is life. The irony is that I watch it every time it is available.

[NewJeffCT]

20. Believe it or not, they are filming D&D2

I was horrified at how bad it was. I called a fellow D&D guy after I saw the movie and he asked me what the worst part was, and I said, "it was X" then, I said, "no, it was Y" and then finally, "no, maybe it was Z" and I finally gave up and said, the whole thing sucked!

[RodneyCK2]

23. A D&D2? I wonder if it will be...

a straight to DVD release, ha ha. Good to know though because sadly, I will be first in line *lowers head in shame*.

[RodneyCK2]

29. You are correct...here is the tittle...

D&D Official News Damon White Reports: Being reported on several popular movie fan web sites, more information has surfaced on the new D&D II Movie, including a title. Check it out:

"South African actor Mark Dymond has been confirmed as the lead role in Dungeons and Dragons II:The Elemental Might.

[NewJeffCT]

31. saw a blurb that Paris Hilton was being considered

I hope they are doing it as a spoof of the genre...

[RodneyCK2]

33. HAHAHAHA..... I don't think so, at least I hope not.

Most of the orginal cast is returning and I don't know if you can consider that to be a good thing. Different Director though.

Here is a report..

[ihaveaquestion]

11. Ghostbusters and Buffy, The Vampire Slayer (for Rutger Hauer)

[PittPoliSci]

56. Ghostbusters?

gasp! i say gasp!

[Connie_Corleone]

12. Killer Klowns From Outer Space

n/t

[thisismyboomstick3]

13. Big Trouble in little China

[Jo March]

14. "Showgirls"

Come on - the dialogue is simply awful.

But Gina Gershon - she is so hot.

[phillybri]

34. Watching Elizabeth Berkley strip was like watching...

...a rabid dog walking on a tightrope...Just surreal.

:crazy:

[flamingyouth]

15. "Race With the Devil" (1975)

It's got Peter Fonda and Loretta Swit in it, but it's really awful. I first saw it on TV as a kid, and it scared the crap out of me. As an adult, it's just plain silly, so when I see it listed on late-night TV, I always tune in.

Man, the '70s had so many great movies about Satan...

[CanuckAmok]

70. I think that one's PRIME for a remake.

I love that movie...rented it a few years ago, and it's still fun.

[cprise]

16. ZARDOZ -or- OMEGA MAN

Zardoz: Flying Stone Head!




Omega Man: Heston shoots at black zombies covered in white paint!

[cprise]

22. Oh did I mention Zardoz has Sean Connery

...as the lead role wearing an orange diaper?

[LynneSin]

17. SHOWGIRLS

So bad it's good!

[arbusto_baboso]

19. Anything from MST3K.

I LOOOOOOVED that show, and still suffer withdrawal symptoms every once in awhile.

[jpgray]

21. It Conquered the World

Roger Corman, Marshall Dillon's brother (Peter Graves), the Bad (Lee Van Cleef), and a big, carrot-shaped alien.

[ceile]

24. Amityville Horror and Mortal Combat

[Iris]

25. Dirty Dancing

[Texasgal]

32. Sixteen candles

God... I am embarrassed now.....

[Red State Rebel]

65. You may be embarrassed, but you are not alone!

I love that one too. There are just too many good people in it!

[skypilot]

35. Any early '70s Pam Grier...

...blaxploitation flick. Ahh, the clothes, the hair, Pam Grier kicking ass...

[TheMightyFavog]

38. I warn you, I got a black belt in Karate!

SMASH!!!

Yeah? Well I got a black belt in barstool!

[skypilot]

39. "I don't know Karate...

...but I know Ka-razor".---James Brown

[BlackVelvetElvis]

55. The theme song from "Coffey" should qualify on it's own. n/t

[TheMightyFavog]

36. Any of those old Italian Hercules movies.

Such campy fun! The bad dubbing, the equally bad specail effects, the scantily clad women...

[tigereye]

42. Why Plan 9 from Outer Space of course

followed closely by Barbarella.

[Dukkha]

43. Flash Gordon & Clash of the Titans

eom

[MrScorpio]

44. Psycho Beach Party

The greatest insane movie ever made. Plus it has "cute as a buttton" Lauren Ambrose

[kmla]

45. Not especially bad, but..... Overboard.

Goldie & Kurt.

Love that movie.

[rucky]

46. All things Zombie

Dead Alive
any of the Romero flicks
Evil Dead

[Xipe Totec]

47. Epoch, Worst Sci-Fi Ever

So bad, in fact, it has become a cult film and generated a sequel.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

49. Valley of the Dolls

"THEY DRUMMED YOU RIGHT OUTTA HOLLYWOOD...SO YOU COME CRAWLING BACK TO BRAWDWAY...WELL, BRAWDWAY DOESN'T GO FOR BOOZE and DOPE!"

[ronnykmarshall]

50. Female Trouble

Divine at shis best.

(that was not a typo either)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

57. Oh yeah!

That's a great one on so many levels!

[ronnykmarshall]

68. so many great lines.

My par'nts better git them cha-cha heels. I ask for and I better git!

I'm gonna take all my presents back and get the money, you can do that ya know!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

91. Not to mention the visuals: clothes and hair

I love the cha-cha heels bit!!!
Don't you love those early/mid 60's fashions???

[Dastard Stepchild]

52. ohhhhhh..... lots!

Mannequin 2. Teen Witch. Dance 'Til Dawn. Night of the Twisters.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

53. Valley of the Dolls

Esp. the catfight in the restroom and Neely jonesing for a "doll".

[TroubleMan]

58. FANTASY MISSION FORCE.....here's why:

Abraham Lincoln as a WWII general (the Japanese capture him in Canada and take him to Luxembourg). The English general is Robert Forster - and he's played by a Hispanic guy. Another general is the "General of Africa" (all of Africa?), and he's played by a Chinese in black-face.....

A girl who rides a horse and shoots bazookas....

Japanese Nazis that ride on top of 70's muscle cars (with little swastika stickers all over them) like Road Warrior rejects - some of them are dressed like Mexican wrestlers......

A haunted mansion with hopping zombies, zombies cheating at Mahjong, a guy who makes out with a dead chick, and ghosts who mess with a guy's head while he's taking a shit......

Two homoerotic Chinese guys in kilts - one wears plate mail with a red spandex shirt underneath and a kilt, and he wields a morning star (it's a WWII movie!!).........

Amazon women who throw brightly colored strips of cloth as a weapon, and their leader is a gay guy in a tux........

THE GREATEST SONG AND DANCE SCENE IN A MOVIE.....EVER.....

An dirty cop who dresses first like Sherlock Holmes, then in the rest of the movie he's dressed like Elvis......

The music: they play the theme from "Halloween" in happy moments and a sad version of "Camptown Races" when everybody's dieing.....

"You must call me PAPA!!" - I can't explain it unless you've seen the movie.....

The ending is biggest non-sequitor ever....funny as hell.....

All of this is supposed to be in a World War II movie....

___
There's a lot more. This movie is so good to watch high/drunk. It's the ultimate WTF?! movie.

[Pale Blue Dot]

60. Slavegirls From Beyond Infinity

Starring the immortal Elizabeth Kaitan in an outer space version of "The Most Dangerous Game". I paid good money to see this in the movie theater, and I sat there and laughed.... I own it now. :-)

[petronius]

73. One of my favorites

"Somehow, I think the normal rules of time and space no longer apply." (Or something like that) For some reason that line has stuck with me for years...

[Pale Blue Dot]

88. LOL! How about "supersonic psycussion"?

That's where you find your way out of a room by firing your weapon until the sound doesn't bounce back. :D

[Mrs_Beastman]

61. Clue

"You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs...any good cook will tell you that"

[noahmijo]

62. "Escape From New York"

I think Snake Pliskin is the coolest anti-hero ever next to Riddick.

Escape From New York the movie? terrible, but the Kurt Russell made it bearable with his awesome character.

"President of what?"

[Krasnaya Lastochka]

63. old, corny Batman flick

The old one from the '60s, with Adam West. It's sooooo incredibly cheesy and bad and hokey and I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE IT!!! I'm also a bit of a James Bond obsessive.

[rednek_Liberal]

64. Barbarella or Flash Gordon..Can't Decide....

[Khephra]

96. FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAHHHHAAA!

He'll save every one of us!

[The Great Escape]

66. Ruthless People

[Bridget Burke]

67. High Spirits (1988)

Not one of the greatest fiascos of all time but, taken as a whole, it isn't very good. I mean, the "hero" is Steve Guttenberg. An Irish castle is about to be foreclosed upon & the Anglo-Irish lord has an cunning plan. He'll make the place a "haunted hotel" with the whimsically droll staff doing the haunting. It doesn't work out--until the Real Ghosts get into the act. So why do I watch this whenever it shows up on TV?

* An improbably beautiful Peter Gallagher plays a seminarian, with naughty Jennifer Tilly determined to demonstrate why he really isn't cut out to be a priest. Ah, watching the poor young fella pray to be delivered from temptation!

* Liam Neeson makes a fine figure of a ghost; watch for the shower scene. Beverly D'Angelo is a real bitch until she realizes that joining Liam in the afterlife is far preferable to living as the wife of Steve Guttenberg.

* Peter O'Toole as Peter Plunkett himself, the mad owner of the castle. Watch a real professional chew on the scenery.

[keyzersoze13]

69. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Not as much fun as Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I still enjoy it wayyyy more than I should. AMC seemed to play it nonstop a while ago and I was very happy.

[jeff30997]

85. I've seen that one a million times.

[CanuckAmok]

72. "Satan's Cheerleaders" (which is not porn...really!) Read the premise:

The premise: a bus full of high school cheerleaders breaks down in the desert, and wouldn't you know it, the only nearby town is populated by Satanists. They need to sacrifice a virgin for a ceremony, so they manage to keep the cheerleaders stuck there until they can determine which ones are virgins.

Here's the kicker... none of them are!

[NewJeffCT]

90. ooh, that sounds like a distinct rental possibility

I have an obsession with cheerleaders (or any cute, perky young woman in a short skirt) and I like cheesy horror movies.

So, how can I not watch this?

[The empressof all]

75. Song of Bernedette

I don't know if it qualifies for a bad movie but a strange one for me to feel compelled to watch everytime it's on. It always makes me cry and feel a little creepy.

BTW: I am an atheist.

[Swamp Rat]

76. Me too!

[Swamp Rat]

77. "My Name is Nobody" with Terrence Philip and Henry Fonda

[The empressof all]

78. OK -what do you think it means for us

Do we have a deep seated passion to find God?

Are we guilt ridden because we don't believe?

Or do we just love Jennifer Jones in that habit.

I wasn't even raised Catholic.

[Swamp Rat]

79. I have no idea, but perhaps it's Jennifer Jones in the habit for me

If there was a god(s), I'd like to know her/him/them/it. If I have ANY guilt, it's for wasting all those years trying to believe in any one particular myth. When I discovered the Greek and Roman gods during childhood, I realized that there were a lot of other, even more interesting beliefs. Thank Zeus my ex-Catholic mom decided to raise me to be a free thinking human.

[slutticus]

80. UHF

[onebigbadwulf]

81. Karate Kid was a good movie! ... Starship troopers was bad,

but i love it.

[peacefreak]

82. A Woman Scorned

The Betty Broderick Story

[NashVegas]

83. How Quickly They Forget

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

[Khephra]

94. I love that flick!

Back when video recorders first came out, it amazingly was one of the early releases. For a whole year, I used to come home from school and put the film in. (remember, there weren't many films out on vhs at that point)

Puuuuuuuuuberty love!

[Kong]

84. Earth Girls Are Easy

Great movie.

[Jade Fox]

93. Oh yeah! Jim Carrey when he was nobody, and the great Julie Brown..

favorite line: Jail isn't so bad. That's where I learned to surf!

[jeff30997]

86. I'm surprised that nobody mentioned:

The Rocky Horror Picture show.

[auburngrad82]

87. Killer Klowns from Outer Space

So stupid it's funny

[LTR]

89. "Showgirls" and "Logan's Run"

The funniest bad movie ever!

The thing just oozes with the aroma of trash. And it's great!

I do have some sort of strange attraction toward "Logan's Run" as well.

[Tweed]

92. Munchie

A early 90's movie that stars Loni Anderson and DOm DeLouise as the voice of a hilarious alien who fixes this grade school kid's problems. It's bad, but genius. I take that back, it's not bad it's so genius.

[Khephra]

95. Any of the "Porky's" films

They actually are quite liberal in tone. Fighting censorship is one of the major themes that run throughout the series.

[Xithras]

97. Can't believe nobodies mentioned: ARMY OF DARKNESS

"This is my BOOMSTICK!"



Best cheesy, bad movie ever.

Oh, and I'm one of the four people on the planet that actually liked Waterworld ;)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

98. "Robot Monster" (1953)

the most ridiculously funny science fiction movie ever made. I think it was made for just a few thousand dollars back in 1953 and occasionally plays late at night on local TV stations. The filmmakers had little money so they used whatever they had handy to dress up the Robot Monster: an old deepsea diving helmet onto which they welded an old TV antenna and an old hairy gorilla suit. This ridiculous looking monster encounters a family that is strangely having a family picnic in an old abandoned quarry of all places. The Robot Monster communicates with his alien overlords by tuning in their space signal over an old wooden TV console (French Provincial style I think). The dialogue is so bad it's hilarious. The other strange thing is that the music is extremely good and leads to a weird disconnect on the part of the viewer between the cheapness of the images, the bad acting and the music, as the soundtrack was written by a then unknown Elmer Berstein, who went on to write the film music to such great movies as "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape".

[SarahB]

99. Austin Powers
