    One thing - Con Air is NOT a crap film. It might be over the top and ridiculous, but it's an action movie ffs and it's entertaining as hell.

    Really p!sses me off when people go on about movies like Con Air, being crap.

    A crap movie would be something like 'Gigli' or Scary Movie 27.

    Good call, thought of Con Air when I read the title. Any time I see it in the listings I laugh "Con Air, what a pile of crap" and end up watching it.

    By that definition, YOU think it's good even though, critically, it may not be. So where do you draw the line with that?

    You could end up saying this about most films - ''load of rubbish, but I like it''. Makes no sense to me. :o

    American Pie: Beta House
    I know its crap yet I find it hilarious!

    Also Con Air is a masterpiece, with a great cast, a great soundtrack, a good plot line and filled with cracking stunts. I love it!

    Face Off:

    It has a decent cast but the storyline is ridiculous. Having said that, it's bloody good fun. Would definitely be in my top 10 action films.

    Weekend at Bernie's is genius!
    My guilty pleasure is 'made in america'.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Chuck Norris movies during the 80's were crap like The Delta Force & Invasion USA.

    Crap, but funny, entertaining crap all the same.

    No. I think it's crap. But I enjoy watching it. Makes perfect sense :pac:

    Has to be 'Showgirls'. It's terrible, but also just so, so good. Some of the dialogue is just some of the funniest sh*t I've ever heard, not to mention what has to be one of the most ridiculously manic sex scenes of all time. I actually think it's one of my favourite films. Great movie to get drunk to.

    It's The Room and it's not even close. So bad that it becomes hilarious

    +1 on this. Some of the best 'worst' quotes ever in this film. It's so bad it's brilliant. How he manages to avoid getting shot by over a 100 men yet killing them all is only ridiculous. Think i might watch this now:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,990 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Dude wheres my car

    Its shoite but i love it :D

    National Treasure - Its not exactly a masterpiece, but I found it thoroughly entertaining, and seemed to be made solely to cash in on the da vinci code love in.

    This film contains my favourite come back line of all time (for the exact reason this thread was created, it's so bad it's genius).

    Con Air is a definate one, sheer genius, it transcends its crappiness, its a work of the sublime. Ditto for Your Highness, Face Off (visual art in motion with the doves, the slow-mo, the golden guns, the superb performances from Cage and Travolta). Road Trip is one of the defining films of my life, I saw it on TV just before I went to college, for me its the definitive college/road trip film, Tom Green is legendary in it. Strangely enough I think these are films which would initially be perceived as crap but are anything but upon closer inspection, they simply eschew the conventions people expect from sensibly great films, but that doesn't make them crap, oh no! You see they take the elements outside of these conventions and weave them together into beautiful tapestries of filmic production and they're unforgettable because of it. Its why film like Evil Dead will forever be a great film in my mind it has more imagination, charm and fun than a film made to be considered a worthy piece of art but which lacks soul, and I applaud filmmakers who have the daring to go against what the mainstream expects. A genuinely crap film which is great is Hercules in New York, I really want to watch this.

    Independence Day, it's complete cheese from start to finish with some shocking acting (mainly Bill Pullman) but I will watch it every night of the week if it is on.

    "You're a funny guy, Sully. I'll kill you last!"

    Quote is not exact, but close. I saw this in the cinema years ago. Loved it. But it really is very, very bad indeed. And why does h keep calling his daughter "Chenny"? The name is "Jenny"!
