Favorite movies that are so bad they are good

[harimad]

There are multiple good actors who are way overacting in this film. Who could forget Patrick Stewart trying his go at the sword in the stone?

And some of the dialogue - as well as the delivery - is cringe worthy.

Perhaps so. But the story is based on an epic, and there are some true chills-inducing moments.

Arthur agreeing that he must be a knight before he can be king, and handing the sword of power to a shocked Uryens, his enemy at the time, so that he can be knighted.

Merlin coming back to Arthur in the dreamworld "A dream to some... a nightmare to others!"

Plus, the music. The music! Who would have thought that Wagner would have the perfect soundtrack to the Arthurian epic?

Going way back...

Candy (great soundtrack)

Barbarella (so bad and so campy it's good)

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

I must disagree, Tucker and Dale is freaking great.

Almost Heroes.

Starring Matthew Perry, Chris Farley, and inexplicably directed by Christopher Guest. Nothing about this movie makes sense, and I love it.

Any of you fargan ice-holes remember a little movie called Johnny Dangerously?

My sister said that to me once,....once!

Double Down - Staring, directed, produced, and with craft services provided by Neil Breen

From IMDB "A brilliant computer loner seizes Las Vegas and its terrorist attack, while fighting against his fits of clinical depression and obsession for romance and death."

Also:

Just One of the Guys

I hope nobody is suffering from ESS!

Saving Silverman

That's just a good movie. That is not a movie that is so bad it's good. So that should be in a different thread.

Ted
Howard the Duck
Short Circuit

 

[cloneheaven77]

Don't judge me... Necessary Roughness, The Replacements, Little Big League, and probably any other sports themed movies from the late 80s or 90s. The Replacements is surprisingly on TV a lot considering it came out 19 years ago!

Ford Fairlane Rock and Roll Detective
Crocodile Dundee (still freakin solid IMO)
Summer Rental

 

[DeftOne]

Kung Fury.
Go watch in on Youtube. You'll thank me...maybe.



Kung Fury 2 is forthcoming, with the star-power of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Fassbender, Eiza González and David Hasselhoff. So, you've all got that to look forward to!

Not "so bad it's good." It's a brilliant satire on how democracy can turn into fascism and on the Global War on Terror -- amazingly before the thing itself actually happened.

Yeah...THAT's why people tune in.

 

[arobb]

Anybody else remember Megaforce?

 

[Sigmapolis]

Yeah...THAT's why people tune in.

This is worth reading...

The fact the cast looks like it belongs in a 90s teen movie is part of the effect.

Michael Ironside just kills it, too.

I feel like the Pauly Shore era has been a little neglected. These can also be found under the "Have Not Passed the Test of Time" category.

Son in Law
Bio Dome
Encino Man

Son In Law is Shore's masterpiece.

Plus we got this:

Debatable. Flash Gordon scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes than Dangerously did.

Good call on "Ford Farlane". Anytime my hair is at risk of getting messed up, I like to throw out the:



Most people don't get the reference, but it makes me smile.
