Snakes On A Plane 🐍

Grease 2, I love all the songs and Michelle Pfeiffer's fringe.

Any disaster movie....Tornado, The Day After Tomorrow, all those climate change gone berserk ones

LubaLuca · 02/06/2022 06:22

Rocky IV. It's an ITV4 favourite, and I get sucked in every time I spot it on the TV guide.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua Blush

Death Becomes Her

Top Secret (Val Kilmer film)

Devil's Advocate

It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World

Hobbs and Shaw

Transporter films - especially the one where Statham flips a car over high in the air so a crane's hook hooks off the bomb that's underneath his car PURE AWESOMECHEESE!!!

Dougieowner · 02/06/2022 06:44

Oxford Blues.

A truly awful story but full of great actors (who must cringe whenever it is mentioned) and some great atmospheric location shots of my home city.

PineappleSun · 02/06/2022 06:49

Absolutely love disaster movies so:
Dante's Peak
Volcano
Daylight
The Poseidon Adventure
Poseidon (tremendous pressure!!!)
Geostorm
Into the storm
Flood

Honorary mention for Twister because I don't think it deserves to go on the bad film list

Newestname002 · 02/06/2022 07:05

Evolution (ands its product placement for Head & Shoulders shampoo and Selenium sulphide). Also really bad acting all round.

She - with Ursula Andress

DrDreReturns · 02/06/2022 07:07

A View to a Kill - Roger Moore's last bond movie. So bad its good, always makes me laugh.

The core has an incredibly silly premise.

SoggyPaper · 02/06/2022 07:20

Starship troopers.

Pegasaurus · 02/06/2022 07:27

I find the Carry On films weirdly comforting. I would never admit to watching then in real life.

Also like chappy channel 5 Christmas films, the cheesier the better

All of the above plus Dodgeball.

You've Got Mail

It's so gloriously dated now as well as being bad!

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 02/06/2022 07:40

DH & &I go to film when we need something ridiculous is the "Olympics has fallen" series (Olympics, London, Angel...) Top tip... if you ever want to take an action film seriously, don't watch it with an Army officer, it becomes a dissection of all the implausible military skills. Hence why these films entered our So bad, they're good category.

Funkyslippers · 02/06/2022 07:54

I don't believe that Bridesmaids and True Lies belong on the list. They're just brilliant, not bad at all
I love the film Class with Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy. But it's pretty bad all the same

Remainiac · 02/06/2022 08:11

Gone in 60 seconds. Love it, great idea, but with Nic Cage and Angelina Jolie it was always doomed 🤣

icebearforpresident · 02/06/2022 08:24

I can’t believe we’re 3 pages in and no one has mentioned Staying Alive - the sequel to Saturday Night Fever. It. Is. Terrible (and therefore one of the best films ever made 😆)

I have a soft spot for Con Air. My nana, who died aged 92, was an insomniac and whenever she would to get up in the middle of the night Con Air was always on, she actually said once it was her favourite movie so it always makes me think of her.

St Elmo’s Fire, I love it but even in the 80’s it must have been shit. Judd Nelson about to thrown Andrew McCartney off the balcony while Demi Moore gets eaten by the worlds billowiest curtains is the stand out scene.

I watched Bring it On fairly recently. I have to say that as a teenager, I loved it and still love it for that reason.
Watching as an adult though? Wow it's terrible (but good).

Where did you watch Bring it On? I can't find it on TV!

MissyCooperismyShero · 02/06/2022 09:00

Aquaman! Love it for Jason Momoa, but really it's shocking.

Rocky IV. It's an ITV4 favourite, and I get sucked in every time I spot it on the TV guide.

"If he dies, he dies" my favourite bit is when he's running up the Siberian mountain in his loafers.

I forgot to add The Expendables, all of them.

I love a good (bad) disaster movie and all the old Ray Harryhausen films too.

Hang on. Is it the film where he has a crap robot? 😂

Another of my all time faves is Maximum Overdrive. The only film that Stephen King directed. He was high on coke and doesn't remember it. Emilio Estevez said it ruined his career but I really fancied him in it.

Anything with The Rock saving his daughter, (always his daughter). Giant albino gorilla? Massive building fire? Huge earthquake? There’s nothing he can’t handle.
