Unintentionally funniest movie you've ever seen

[Burma Jones]

For its outstanding campyness, I'll have to say Cecil B. DeMille's Ten Commandments. Charleton Heston as the biggest kahuna Jew ever, Mr. Blue Eyed Aryan ideal..... Yul Brynner declaiming his ass off.....Edward G Robinson as Dathan, going "yeah, see, Moses went up the Mountain to make slaves of us, Nyaaahhhhh. Yvonne DeCarlo as Moses' suffering wife. The dancing Girls..... Vincent Price purring about Scented Oils.... And of course, DeMille's Cold War era prologue.......

1. The Swarm

I always mention it when these threads pop up. I mean, bees crash a helicopter, blow up a nuclear reactor, derail a train. It's beautiful

[DelawareValleyDem]

2. Showgirls

[fob]

Damn, beat me to it. It's also got the added benefit of nudity!

[GRLMGC]

9. That's a crap classic

Have you seen the VH1 version with the superimposed bras. They look so crappy. It looks like someone made them w/ MS paint

[sundog]

27. yup, absolute classic

[FrankBooth]

40. you beat me to it!

Laughably bad.

[FrankBooth]

41. 70's flick called "Cannonball"

I think David Carradine was in it. Check it out, it is so incredibly cheesy and terrible that you will laugh your ass off.

[skypilot]

3. "The Shining"

Shelly Duval making those faces...

On edit: A very close second would be a movie called "Forever Mine" directed by Paul Shrader and starring Joseph Fiennes as a cabana boy who falls for another man's wife. Hijinks and some VERY bad poetry ensue.

[cruadin]

4. "Plan 9 from Outer Space" an unintentionally hilarious...

sci-fi movie from the late '50s. Directed by Ed Wood of "Glen or Glenda" fame.

[NewJeffCT]

5. Dungeons & Dragons

'nuff said.

[Ravenseye]

6. Anything By Ed Wood

I don't remember the name of it, but there was one where a couple drive up into the hills or something....in the car it's dark and night, outside shots it's full daylight.

They get to this place...not even sure what it's supposed to be...and then they get a bunch of women dancing for them suggestively for the next hour. Thats it.

[Dookus]

7. The Conquerer

John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Hilarious.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

8. 'The President's Man'

Starring Chuck Norris. The storyline and dialogue seemed to have been written by an 11 year old.

The movie 'Red Dawn' comes second, the bad acting is hilarious.

[NewJeffCT]

13. they had a sequel to that movie, you know?

Norris & some Chinese dragon lady type trained some super-commando who went into Afghanistan to get some Osama-look alike.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

22. Wow, sounds as bad as the 1st one lol n/t

[NewJeffCT]

36. it was called President's Man - A Line in the Sand

forgot who the super-commando was, but he went into one of those afghan underground bunkers by himself & took out the whole crew of terrorists.

[hickman1937]

10. Troll 2

Someone rounded up the neighbors and made a movie.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

11. Braveheart...

5'5" Mel Gibson playing the Scottish warrior William Wallace who stood over 6'8" in reality. Also the fact the Mel Gibson's accent seemed to break into an impromptu Irish accent mid-way through the movie.

[Shakespeare]

12. Earthquake

SCREAMINGLY funny.

[GRLMGC]

16. Doesn't it have the crappy blood effect in the elevator?

My friend told me about and I sat through much of the thing just to see it. AMC had cut it out though. I was very disappointed :(

[MisterP]

31. YES! the ten-minute quake with things sliding,

the MP, the floozy, the ranting about "we never shoulda' built nothin' over ten feet"
I always get it confused with "War of the Worlds"

[Shakespeare]

35. Walter Matthau dressed like a pimp, trying not to spill his drink...

....while the earthquake goes on....and on.....and on...

You'll kill yourself laughing.

[rocktivity]

14. The one with John Wayne trying to be Atilla The Hun

(Gets off shifless lazy ass and does her own research): I stand corrected--Wayne played a cowbody masquerading as Ghengis Khan!

"...Of the 220 persons who worked on http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_016.html">The Conqueror on location in Utah in 1955, 91 had contracted cancer as of the early 1980s and 46 died of it, including stars John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Agnes Moorehead, and director Dick Powell. Experts say under ordinary circumstances only 30 people out of a group of that size should have gotten cancer...many attribute the cancers to radioactive fallout from U.S. atom bomb tests in nearby Nevada...

"The Conqueror, a putative love story involving Genghis Khan's lust for the beautiful princess Bortai (Hayward), was a classic Hollywood big budget fiasco, one of many financed by would-be movie mogul Howard Hughes. Originally director Powell wanted to get Marlon Brando for the lead..."

Which brings me to my runner up for unintentionally funny movie--Julius Ceasar with Brando as a woefully ineffective Brutus!

:crazy:

15. ROADHOUSE

[flamingyouth]

19. "A polar bear fell on me."

[KurtNYC]

17. LOTR

Had to leave the theater. My mother (of all people) and I were cracking jokes about it back and forth. She had quite an issue with their hobbit feet. I was just sarcastic about their chances in the endless battles with ever increasing numbers of adversaries; "I guess they will be killed for sure THIS time."

Then we figured out that every other shot in the movie was a CU on Elijah Wood's eyes looking pained and got the giggles. The fans, including my nephews who love LOTR, didn't appreciate our humor.

[Spider Jerusalem]

18. The first X-Men movie.

A friend and I went to see it when it came out, and we BOTH laughed uproariously at different things throughout the movie...we were the only people in the theatre laughing, though, so maybe it was just us.

[RobinA]

20. Texas Chainsaw Massacre

the original. Rolling on the floor, tears coming out of eyes, screamingly funny.

[Left Is Write]

21. Motel Hell

"Meat's meat, and a man's got to eat!"

[underpants]

23. I have to agree with you-The 10 Commandments is hilarious

some of the worst casting and worst acting in the history of movies even NEAR that epic.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

26. "Beauty is a curse for our women"

:7

[underpants]

30. Vioncent Price? Vincent ******* Price?!?!?!?

Edward G. Robinson as an Egyptian?

"Dance mud turtles DANCE!"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. Quest For Fire. Boy, did people get pissed off at me. I couldn't

stop laughing and it wasn't meant to be funny. It was about cave people and their first realization how important creating fire was. The dialogue consisted of grunting.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. Any of the 80's jingoistic crap by Golam-Globus (nt)

[dubyaD40web]

28. Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle

I didn't expect much but it was funny.

[saltpoint]

29. The Exorcist.

The novel was skin-crawling frightening and awfully well-written, but the translation to film just didn't work for me. Saw it in college & my roommate and I were kicked out of the theater for howling with laughter.

[bleedingheart]

32. Moh-sez...Moh-sez...

hahahaha

[jswordy]

33. Eyes Wide Open

We were going, "Ohmygawd, here goes Nicole again, rolling around on the bed!"

Meanwhile, Tom for no apparent reason plot-wise goes to this S&M party and it was supposed to create all this tension int he movie. We're smoking away and shaking our heads. LOL. It was supposed to be kinky, but it really was campy.

I am soooo glad we saw that flick as a vid on the VCR while stoned as hell rather than at a movie house, where I would have been pissed to have spent that much money on it. It was a huge bomb in our eyes, we laughed our asses off at it, and Kubrick fans everywhere were all hushed and in awe of it.

ROFL!

[Tafiti]

34. Killing Me Softly.

It's supposed to be this dark, romantic thriller. The last few scenes were so unintentionally ridiculous that when the movie ended, and the credits started to roll, no joke - everyone in the theater busted out laughing. To this day, still the worst movie I've ever seen.

[terrya]

37. "Airport 1975"

Karen Black (at her crosseyed best) as a stewardess (NOT a flight attendant) trying to pilot a 747. Linda Blair as a little girl in need of a kidney transplant (and a truly hilarious scene when Sister Helen Reddy pulls out a guitar and sings to make her "feel better"). And Gloria Swanson playing herself...a well preserved corpse whom everone else on the plane thinks is lovely...

It's absolutely hilarious...unintentionally, of course. :-)

[cedahlia]

38. The Village

For the record, I thought it was a very bad movie. But it did give my "movie night" group of friends and myself some good laughs. We all were laughing our asses off at parts that were supposed to be serious...especially the scene where Joaquin Phoenix is professing his love to Ron Howard's daughter. For some reason that just had us rolling.

[Born in the Maze]

39. Young Poisoner's Handbook

Since we had already rented it, my fosters insisted we watch it - gave me some creepy laughs, and some interesting ideas.

[Hobarticus]

42. The Night the Screaming Stopped, or something like that.

Worst horror movie ever, came out when I was working at a theater in high school. Some crap German thing.

Woman ends up having an affair with Satan. Her husband confronts her in the kitchen. She confesses while she's pouring a cup of coffee. Meanwhile, he's sawing into his forearm with an electric knife, so nonchalantly like he's carving a turkey.

And that's a highlight.

They pumped it up by handing out barf bags to the patrons, but they went to waste because no one came. Just awful. One of those movies that got hyped up, it cleaned up on opening night, and it quietly disappeared.
