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?

Agree with Grease 2, I loved that film so much, I would watch as girl for all seasons’ over and over.

Thanks to PP who mentioned While You Were Sleeping- I haven’t thought of that film for years and I used to love it: ‘and I told him, it was while you were sleeping’ Grin so cheesy.

Some others: maybe crappy but feel good
The Object of my Affection
A Lot Like Love
You’ve Got Mail
The Family Stone
Did You Hear About the Morgans
Sweet Home Alabama- so far-fetched but the scene where she’s talking to the Dog’s grave gets me every time.

Properly crap but I love it: Teen Witch

Love a cheesy Christmas film:
Christmas with the Coopers
Christmas with the Kranks
Deck the Halls

I love Clueless, it’s not crap is it? Mean Girls is good as well.

DarkDarkNight · 07/05/2020 23:28

Jack and Sarah as well.

IsabelleSE19 · 07/05/2020 23:31

Con Air
Twister
The Perfect Storm
The Day After Tomorrow

Can't believe someone put Ghostbusters - that's an all-time classic, not a crap film Shock

IdblowJonSnow · 07/05/2020 23:32

I wouldn't put Clueless in the crap category.
And definitely not Muriel's wedding! It's a classic!
Also loved Grease 2. Cool Rider!

Weekend at Bernie's. Please don't judge me.

thenightsky · 07/05/2020 23:35

One I watch every time it comes on... Tremors. It never gets boring.

JemimaShore · 07/05/2020 23:43

Any Carry on film. Bless This House (film version) - fab - reminds me of a simpler childhood.

I utterly reject the idea that Clueless is a crap film - it's fab.

AllianceOfCorcles · 07/05/2020 23:45

These are all my best film - although Rocky 4 is quite clearly a cut above the rest 🥊

JemimaShore · 07/05/2020 23:45

I love Tremors too Grin DH and I have watched it already during lockdown. Love the 'armed to the teeth" gung-ho couple. If I lived in some rural US state I'd want to be just like them Grin

Patsypie · 07/05/2020 23:46

The Carry On films are magnificent! Especially Girls, Camping and Abroad. I love the On the Buses and Steptoe Films - such enjoyable shite. I draw the line at the Are You Being Served film - terrible shite.

I love The Secret of My Success, Rocky IV and Staying Alive (sequel to Saturday Night Fever).

Shout out to The Bitch and The Stud!

Ohjustboreoff · 07/05/2020 23:47

Oh my goodness Roadhouse starring Patrick Swayze's bum.

Bloodylovecheese · 07/05/2020 23:50

I love Face Off...John Travolta is brilliant Grin

Patsypie · 07/05/2020 23:51

Gah! How could I forget Flashdance, Roadhouse and the Brooke Shields Endless Love!

thenightsky · 07/05/2020 23:53

Goggle1968 · 07/05/2020 23:55

Definitely grease 2, also clueless, never been kissed, face off, cocktail, legally blonde, two weeks notice also more recently Bad Moms. I love cheesy films.

Buying a car for "15 quid, but I got it for 12" Grin Those were the days.

englebertsausagedog · 07/05/2020 23:57

I'm shocked at the people who said Ghostbusters, The Goonies, Clueless, Stepbrother, Airplane and Shaun of the Dead. None of them are crap!

I quite like Coyote Ugly and the Tomb Raider films that Angelina Jolie did in the early 00s are crap but brill.

lavenderlove · 07/05/2020 23:58

Freaky Friday
Grown ups

LOVE THEM 😄

Also Step brothers (but that's actually good?!)

Patsypie · 08/05/2020 00:02

Mustn't forget Brewster's Millions, Lethal Weapon 3 (It's just been revoked!) and Peggy Sue Got Married!

Icanflyhigh · 08/05/2020 00:05

Cry Baby starring Johnny Depp

Icanflyhigh · 08/05/2020 00:05

I also adore Grease 2
