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.

Airborn (the one with the rollerblade race down Devil's Backbone, the biggest hill in Cincinnati)

Bubbahotep

Bloodsport

Krull

Bubbahotep

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.

[โ€“] lazy@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I already indicated I liked it. It's a great movie. But it wasn't exactly made for the big theatres, and has a B-movie kinda feel to it, so I decided that was enough to qualify it. Its definitely not bad in the same sense that Airborn is bad though.

[โ€“] satan@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Agree, Hard ticket to Hawaii is amazing!

In the same style, i would mention:

  • Miami Connection
  • Samurai Cop
  • Eliminators
  • Street Trash

  • 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

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

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.)

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.

[โ€“] DJDarren 2 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?

[โ€“] Yadaran@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Ah Frankenhooker, a certified Jim Glickenhaus classic!

[โ€“] Atarian@vlemmy.net 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

[โ€“] dingus@lemmy.ml 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]
[โ€“] dragandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Zardoz is a fucking trip and I love it. Also, basically any of the Rodriguez Family movies (Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Spy Kids, etc)

[โ€“] dingus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Zardoz was on the short list for my bad movies, if only because of Sean Connery in that fucking outfit. Va va voom!

[โ€“] laresek@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] UsernameLost@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

OP asked the wrong question. There can be only one

[โ€“] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)
  • Re-Animator
  • Club Dread
  • Repoman
  • The Fly
  • The Hobbit, The Battle of the Five Armies

Club Dread is my favorite Broken Lizard film. I guess that is my humor, and it is not for everyone.

[โ€“] dingus@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Repoman is so underrated it is possibly criminal.
