Films that are so bad they are great

[Greydove28]

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?

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Cockneys Vs Zombies

Both are hysterical, awful and funny ( a bit blood thirsty too).

Battleship! Brilliantly bad! And some AC/DC music thrown in too 😁

My favourite film of all time is Armageddon - I’m mocked relentlessly by friends for this but it’s the terrible movie that never fails to cheer me up.

Who’s that guy? The man on the cycle!
What would they say if they knew it was Michael?!

National Lampoon's vacation

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.

Sorry, @Durgasarrow but I thought it was a huge steaming turd and I hated almost every second of it. It wasn’t even so bad it was good. I just found it a laboured, unfunny vanity project for Will Ferrell, who I normally enjoy watching. For me, it tried to parody Eurovision without understanding it, plus Eurovision is pretty much a parody already.

Hope that manages your expectations somewhat.

I nominate Flash Gordon, which is truly terribly but strangely enjoyable.

Noooo, Eurovision was fabulous. It was so funny. It definitely fits into the, it's so bad it's great, category.

Zombeavers - If you have Netflix, it's amazing.

Someone mentioned Roadhouse earlier. It has one of the best lines of all time...

"A polar bear fell on me."

I love ‘Showgirls’, the pool sex scene is just hilarious 😂

‘Mommie Dearest’ was godawful but darkly entertaining.

“Christina, bring me the axe!!”.

Wine Country on Netflix. Like a really bad Bridesmaids but I laughed all the way through even though I knew it was awful.

Demolition man

Agree with a pp about the Langoliers book being better. There's very few Stephen King adaptations that are of good quality the Langoliers themselves make the film worth it though, the CGI is abysmal even for the time.

Oh yes Showgirls for sure!! Awful in every possible way but so watchable. I'm sure that's on Prime at the moment...

Love Baywatch and most films with the Rock in as a cheesy action movie. Also loved Crawl recently, but as a lover of cheesy sci fi and action movies I'm the wrong person to ask!

Most of my old favs also fit in this category: Love Actually, Short Curcuit, Grease etc

Grease 2...marvellous
Duel... A trucker chasing after a salesman who cut him up (i think) and the trucker spends the entire film chasing him in his big lorry across deserted roads of America.. Bloody brilliant

Grease 2, Dirty Dancing 2 and Drive Me Crazy!

Spiceworld the Movie. It was enjoyably bad, and as a teenager, I saw it in the cinema three times!

Also the much less well-known The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. I watched it just to see why the Radio Times had given it only one star.

Just looked up the reviews and 'best clips' type video of the room (2003).

OMFG I was proper PMSL.

Looks like the whole film is on YouTube (I did check Netflix and Amazon, not there sadly ) so that's tonight sorted!

Thanks to the pp who suggested it!

I second starship troopers! Never fails to entertain

I love Duel and Maximum Overdrive... Christine scares the bejesus out of me too, even though it stretches the realms of believability to the nth degree

[quote LaMarschallin]"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

[/quote] We rented it on Betamax when you could keep them for like a month, damn near wore out the tape. My brother and I thought it was the funniest movie we’d ever seen.

Val Kilmer was at his hottest in Real Genius. Fight me.

Zombeavers is amazingly awful

I've seen The Langoliers too, actually I've seen it twice, but I still couldn't tell you what it's actually about.

Joy Ride, which features a psychotic, horny trucker called Rusty Nail. Also features Paul Walker though, so worth watching just for him.

Piranha - terrible but hilarious.

Agree with Battleship, San Andreas and all of the Sharknados. I've seen Bait, the sharks in the supermarket one mentioned above, it's definitely in the same category, as are Surrounded, Darktide, 47 Metres Down: Uncaged and The Meg.

Snakes On A Plane, Baywatch and Deep Blue Sea aren't bad-but-good, they're just good As is Lake Placid, I love that movie.

@AGirlCalledJohnny Val Kilmer in Willow.

Definitely "From Hell" as mentioned by a pp. Watched it at uni with a gang of mates and we still quote it .

The hangman (think that's what its called)
