Favorite bad movie

[NorthCyd]

It's a strong. strong contender because it has actors with some cache.

The question is why did no one stop them?

The same thing could be said for Grown Ups. So much comedic talent and that movie was terrible, and not in a good way.

Escanaba in da Moonlight

There is zero in between on this one. You either laugh your ass off for its absurdity or you are thinking WTF is this the entire time.

Another movie I thought of is Who's Harry Crumb.
The only saving grace of that movie was it starred the late great John Candy

I watched Soylent Green recently...I think because I think it's funny a real large nutrition company has called themselves "Soylent" without trying to be ironic. I'm a sucker for that kind of movie but I can't say I love it.

He's not HORRIBLE in Soylent Green and Apes...but he's so him, it kind of takes the viewer out of it. I haven't watched Ben Hur or the Ten Commandments in over 20 years but I'm guessing they are the same.

Also as an 80s/90s kid I was just obsessed with Phil Hartman's SNL spoof about how they keep changing the recipe but every time they change it, it's actually still people.

I had the impression they were trying to by ironic. At least that is how I took it. I think people just made it out that they were not, to make it more of a selling point and gaff.

I just can’t decide whether Bloodsport or Kickboxer is “better”

I think I saw both in the theater. LOL

Similar goes for the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot.

Are those actors as iconic as Rock, Sandler, etc.? No.

But there was some serious talent there and they just forced themselves through bad writing.

Somehow Hollywood recycled the same bad idea into awesomely bad movies about two different sports:

North Shore


And Side Out

Most of Adam Sandler’s movies: Grown ups, blended, little Nicky, etc.

Others have mentioned Stone Cold and the Adventures of Ford Fairlane, a couple of my favorites.

Saw a classic from the 80's that belongs here, Short Circuit. A cheesy premise and Fisher Stevens doing a stereotype of an Indian man that you could not do today. But it was still great fun. "Need Input! , Your momma was a snow blower!"

Has anybody mentioned Yellowbeard yet? If not, I'll claim that one.

This movie is good for about 10 seconds.

I'd be good for about 10 seconds with Cindy Crawford.
