Friday OT #1 - Can't Stop, Won't Stop

[CycloneRulzzz]

I know that many mentioned in this thread are bad movies to you but I will ride or die with several of these because they are good to me. There are several hall of fame movies you couldn't pay me to watch.

Quest For Fire

 

[jcyclonee]

Big Trouble in Little China.

Not a bad movie!

 

[jcyclonee]

This and I’ll add The Last Dragon and Escape From New York.

It's really hard for me to admit that Escape from New York is a bad movie but I guess I'll admit it.

 

[jcyclonee]

Armageddon

 

[Bipolarcy]

I watch Independence Day anytime it's on. But that's not a horrible movie. So I guess the two movies that are widely accepted as horrible that I watch frequently are Waterworld and Battlefield Earth.

 

[CivEFootball]

Starship Troopers.

 

[4cy16]

Jaws 3D

 

[cycloner29]

Movies with Jean Claude Van Damme. Bloodsport comes to mind along with Street Fighter. Really bad acting but the fight scenes draw me in.

 

[cyhiphopp]

As an example, go to the 3:00 mark and watch how awful the scene is where Virgil stands there with Ike running his mouth. If I had only watched the movie once it would stand as stellar. But having watched it a few hundred times it has some really bad acting in places.

I am missing where the bad acting exists in this scene. Maybe I'm just blinded by nostalgia. I really have never seen much fault in this movie.

 

[NWICY]

This and I’ll add The Last Dragon and Escape From New York.

Snake Plisken I thought you was dead.

 

[cyclones500]

Top-of-head, a couple of lower-value movies I watch until conclusion, when I happen upon them:
Grandma's Boy
The Replacements

 

[bluestarcyclone]

Starship Troopers.

I wasnt sure whether to mention this one.

On the surface it seems like a really bad, cheesy sci-fi action movie (and thats how most critics read it in the 90s), but below the surface its great satire and has been getting a lot of credit for that more recently.

Thanks so much to @Entropy for this idea!

What are terrible, awful movies that you can't stop watching?

My dad and brother used to watch Road House over and over when I was a child, to the point that I can yell at Janny to turn that crap if I hear even a sentence from three rooms away.

My kids love The Greatest Showman and I don't at all mind watching it with them, and I don't know why. It's not great cinema.

What are yours?

Speaking of Roadhouse, it's on Encore right now
