Just finished watching the Baywatch film. It was so bad and cheesy I couldnt stop laughing. Really enjoyed it.

What bad films do you love?

Grease 2 is a work of art

Hushabyelullabye · 13/08/2020 01:06

Starship Troopers, I really enjoy watching it even though it's a cheese fest.

I was going to say 'Mega shark vs giant octopus' but then I saw The Langoliers mentioned! It's brilliant. I've watched it twice at about 1am on random channels.

The Room.

And then The Disaster Artist, which is the movie about the making of The Room!

Oh, and Cry Baby. So so good because it’s so bad

I am so excited about the idea of the Eurovision movie I can hardly bear the idea of actually watching it, lest my illusions be shattered.

LordOfTheOnionRings · 13/08/2020 05:39

Waterworld

Alexindiamondarmour · 13/08/2020 05:42

@Hushabyelullabye thank you. I was sitting here trying to remember the name of it. Starship Troopers! My brother and I loved that movie and watched it over and over. So so bad but so good!

OMG can't believe other have seen the Langoliers!! So, so terrible but so watchable!
Also, I give you...Tremors!

CarrieFour · 13/08/2020 06:30

Another vote for Speed 2.

I feel like for a few of my teen years it was perpetually on TV.

It's crap but it has a place in my heart for some strange reason.

Furrybootsyecomfy · 13/08/2020 06:32

This might not be a popular choice but I love to watch The Holiday every Christmas while drinking Baileys and shouting at the screen.

Oh I love the langoliers too! The book is better though imo.

Stephen king stories seem to be butchered (no pun intended) when it comes to turning them into films. Some obviously are amazing - Shawshank, stand by me, green mile, misery... Maybe some stories should be left as words on a page!

Tremors. Totally cheesy, B movie fodder but omg, I love it!!

LaMarschallin · 13/08/2020 06:38

"Love at First Bite" with Susan St James and George Hamilton.

The dance scene particularly made a great impression on young LaMars - always wanted something like it to happen to me Blush

LaMarschallin · 13/08/2020 06:39

PS Also agree with "Grease 2" and "Tremors".

icebearforpresident · 13/08/2020 07:37

Howard the Duck
Grease 2
Staying Alive - the truly, brilliantly awful sequel to Saturday Night Live

Can’t believe we got to page 2 of this thread and no one has mentioned Showgirls yet.

KnobChops · 13/08/2020 07:42

I’d like to add

Showgirls
Independence Day
Miami Vice film

dun1urkin · 13/08/2020 07:42

Tremors is NOT a bad film that’s so bad it’s great. It’s a straight up great film

Another vote for 🎵shark-shark-shark-shark-sharkdano🎵 I’ve seen them all

Planet Terror
From Hell, with the worst accents in film history.
