Crap Films that you love

Ive just spent the last hour on Youtube watching songs from Grease 2, which was my favourite film when I was about 10 and which I watched over and over again. I still remember all of the words Blush. I admit its appalling, but I love it, its like crack to me and if I had to be brually honest I prefer it over the original Grease (which I also love, but its not considered crap is it).

I also love Holiday on The Buses. Which is sexist rubbish obviously but always makes me laugh hysterically. So awful its good and it was filmed in Prestatyn!

Others I love are Supergirl the 1984 version, the 2004 version of Phantom of the Opera and Rocky 4. They are s cheesy and bad that they are brilliant.

What crap films do you love?

Con Air GrinPut the bunny back in the box! Just fabulous

@Figgygal you’re so right, Grease takes itself too seriously IMO, it’s a classic but it just doesn’t have the cheesy fabulousness that Grease 2 does.

Carry On At Your Convenience

The scene where Sid James is having a 'daddy' talk to the budgie he pretends to despise (until it turns out it can forecast winning horses) always makes me laugh. I read an interview with Richard O'Callaghan in which he said he still got children calling him "Lew Bogs" more than 20 years after the film.

Interesting trivia - it was called 'Carry on Round the Bend' for international release, as 'Convenience' wouldn't be understood outside the UK.

AnneBoleynsHead · 07/05/2020 21:01

Definitely the Carry On films, Holiday on the Buses, Braveheart, Highlander, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

Phantom is amazing. Gerard Butler gives me the fanny gallops even in a mask. I definitely would.

I like Grease 2 as well, and the Carry On films. I was brought up on those. DH had the lot on DVD and used to watch them when he was on nights (night watchman, allowed to watch telly).

woodhill · 07/05/2020 21:25

Mannequin with Andrew McCarthey

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 07/05/2020 21:26

Oh yea Streets of Fire has a brill soundtrack. "I've got a dream about a boy in castle and he's dancing like a cat on the stairs" what lyrical genius!
