What are your favourite "So bad, they're good" films.

[PineappleSeahorse]

I'm ill and I'm in the mood for a bad but enjoyable film. I'd appreciate any suggestions. TIA

Robert (it's about a tyre)
Kung Fury

Pretty much anything with Nicholas Cage in it - Gone in 60 Seconds also has the ghastly Angelina Jolie as a bonus.
The Perfect Storm is also dreadful. I love it and always used to have it on while cleaning. I miss it now we don't have a dvd player.

Atomic Train. Every cliche imaginable and someone escapes from a nuclear blast by hiding in a concrete pipe. Great fun and a surprisingly recognisable cast.

While reminding myself of some classics, I stumbled on this on the Rotten Tomatoes website - 150 erotic films ranked from worst to best:
editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/erotic-movies-ranked-worst-to-best/

Could be a rich seam to mine, OP.

I particularly like these descriptions:

Fifty Shades of Grey: While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart, Fifty Shades of Grey is a less than satisfying experience on the screen.

Caligula: Endlessly perverse and indulgent, Caligula throws in hardcore sex every time the plot threatens to get interesting.

If you're in need of something fluffier than usual the Nic Cage offerings then Pitch Perfect is a good option.

And I say this as a die hard Nic Cage fan.

Shark films.

I have no idea why.

Specifically shark films. It's extra weird because they're obviously super tense and scary but I just love them so I find them relaxing. Weirdo.

The meg, the shallows and 47 metres down are top easy viewing for me when I can't think what to watch.

Watching The Meg for the millionth time right now.

There was a terrible week where I finally had my fill of shark films and I ventured into the wider territory of croc films and anaconda.

Don't worry though, I saw the error of my ways and I'm bang back on the sharks now.

Watched Sharknadoe with dh and dsis and bil, we cried with laughter.

Snakes on a plane

Strictly ballroom

Another vote for Starship Troupers

Pretty much anything involving The Rock. My picks would be:
Central Intelligence
Rampage
The one with the tall building on fire that I can't remember the name of but is categorically NOT Towering Inferno

The Three Amigos!

Made of Honor - love that film.

10 things I hate about you

Harry potter's / jurrasic Park

Deffo Roadhouse with Swayze as a bouncer/philosopher

The sharknado ones

The lair of the white worm: nuns, Roman soldiers, bad sex, and a very young Hugh Grant.

That’s sounds like a classic of the bad film genre, Johnson can’t believe I haven’t seen it.

Legally blonde (1 and 2)
Miss Congeniality (1 only)
Pitch perfect (1 &2 but not 3)
Point break (original with Keanu)

The Princess Bride

From Dusk ‘til Dawn - actually I love that one, a genuine fave.

Ooh and The Break Up.

And Just Go With It.

I wish The Parent Trap (Lohan version) was on Netflix or Amazon Prime but don't think it is.

Oh man I need a movie marathon sesh soon to check some of PPs suggestions out!

Grease 2 is one of my favourite films ever!

Sweet home alabama. Along came polly. The break up. Jumping jack flash. (whoopi goldberg). Overboard-goldie horn and kurt russell.

I like disaster movies... some are actually decent, like Dante's Peak or Deep Impact, but most are trash. Good or bad, all are deeply formulaic, namely:

• Fit head girl and/or boy
• Geeky hangers on
• Stoical/stubborn older person doomed to die or get wounded
• Someone who knows f- all, who can ask questions about what the hell is happening on behalf of the entire audience
• Head-in-the-sand official or other evil person; often with a hick or deep South accent
• Lots of power words that mean nothing

Twister is probably my favourite that covers all of these.

"Wait! (looking at tornado unchanged from five seconds earlier) She's gonna shift to the right"
"Are you sure?!"
"Oh yes - look at the angle, the updrafts - definitely a sidewinder!"

The Princess Bride does NOT belong here. It is a great film! So bad it's good - inconceivable!
Sharknado films are fun, also The Librarian. Often seem to repeat on the SciFi channel.
Nightstalker and Nightstrangler made for TV films, and the Nightstalker TV series from the 70's are very silly with gloriously naff effects. If you want to go really old school, any Ed Wood movie but particularly Plan 9 From Outer Space. I have never managed to get through it in one go. Oh, Toho studio Godzilla films. There were loads but Destroy All Monsters is the only name I can remember. I think channel 4 ran a late night season of them around the late 1980's.
Bah. Princess Bride.
Totally the wrong thread.
