Just that really. Amazon seems to have had an explosion of older films. I love rediscovering someone that I rented once from the video shop as a kid! What rubbish yet compelling film do you love.

Mine is Howard the Duck

Too many people are naming good films. The OP asked for crap films but which can be an entertaining watch, often for the wrong reasons.

I present Jaws: The Revenge.

My favourites were No Way Out (with Kevin Costner & Gene Hackman) and The Big Easy, with Denis Quaid & Ellen Barkin. I also loved Pretty In Pink and St Elmo's Fire. Enjoying reminiscing now!

I watched Four Weddings and a Funeral the other day.

I had to keep skipping through Andi McDowell's scenes as she is irritating af, but I am ashamed to say I did actually cry at the funeral.

Must be getting soft in my old age.

Oh that film is in the Excellant Camp.

What about "Boxing Helena"? (Julian Sands and Sherilyn Fenn ) Apparently Kim Basinger was cast but oulled out once she saw how bad it was (it is , but I love the geekiness of Julian Sands)

And "Green Card" Andie McDowell films ranks up there with "Mystic Pizza" for awfulness

Greenglassteacup · 24/09/2019 18:50

I love Julian Sands ( especially in a room with a view)
