    You're doing it wrong.

    The Wicker Man (remake) is absolutely bloody hilarious. Nicholas Cage going round punching women and stealing bicycles on a weird island.

    Black Belt Jones - very funny/bad

    The Room - already mentioned, brilliantly bad.

    I
    Sudden Death starring Jean Claude Van Damme was a classic as well.

    AWOL was the JCVD film i loved as a kid. Watched it recently enough for the first time in i can't remember how long and holy crap is it bad. Still enjoyed it though.

    "Your mother ate my dog!"
    "not all of it..."

    there's more entertainment in Braindead's 90 minutes than there is in all of Peter Jackson's Tolkien films - it's an absolute classic.

    Mercenaries.
    It's basically the female version of The Expendables. So bad it's good.

    I see I've been beaten to Hudson Hawk ... for more recommendations, see the Best Worst Movies thread. I recommended (?) King Frat back then, and still do, but I can't be the first to recommend Showgirls, can I?

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    While pondering movies I'd like to see again, the first one popped in to my head: Crank!



    "Chev Chelios" (Jason Statham) has been poisoned, and to counteract the poison while he finds out who did it, he needs to keep his adrenalin levels up at all times, which he does in increasingly bizarre ways. A totally ludicrous idea for a plot, basically an excuse for non-stop action ... and as entertaining as heck. :D

    Some of you need your head checked, thinking these classify as bad movies in any sense of the word.

    Just to add a few more 'classic' howlers:

    Sudden Impact - terrible Dirty Harry movie that invented 'go ahead, make my day'

    Commando - so bad it's good.

    Batman the movie - the rubber shark chews Batman's leg !

    Luckily he has shark repellant bat spray on hand! Yes, this is the clear winner. Amazing fun to watch!

    2012 is so bad you gotta watch it until the end


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,432 ✭✭✭Lamper.sffc


    The Last Dragon. Only watched it again recently. Still enjoyed it. I mean any film where a kid can break dance out of the rope he is tied up with is alright by me :D



    And this crap gem



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,464 ✭✭✭e_e


    Connoisseurs of terrible movies should check out the How Did This Get Made? podcast. Hilarious stuff.

    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1071806-independence_day/

    Rated fresh on rotten tomatoes with a 75% audience approval rating. I would have thought it would have got a higher rating, but no way considered bad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭fluke


    Hawk The Slayer is terrible but insanely watchable.

    Yeah, but I think its one of those movies that most people enjoyed but if you asked someone who considered themselves to be very 'in' to movies was it any good, they'd dismiss as cheesey rubbish. Kinda like if you asked someone who's very 'in' to beers what they think of budweiser they would dismiss it as being crap. But its the best selling beer in the world.

    In that case start your own 'films that were popular with non film buffs, but I think was good (I'm not a film buff) thread' :P

    I think it should be more like 'films that were popular with non film buffs, and that I think are good too but film buffs don't like (generally).'

    But point taken:D
