Not your best, but your worst! B-Movies abound!
Give us your sick, sad, filthy pleasure flicks that you love to hate.
Rules: The Room is too popular at this point and doesn’t count.
My list:
- Hard Ticket to Hawaii
- Frankenhooker
- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
- Dead Alive
- Deadly Prey
Special Mentions:
- Cabin Boy
- Space Truckers
Joe Dirt!
It was so hilariously awful, I love it.
Don’t really have a top list, but that’s the one I always come up with when asked.
- Cemetary Man
- Phantasm
All the classics of course, but to go for a lesser mentioned one: Frankenfish.
I guess I don’t really watch too many ‘bad’ movies because I don’t have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.
But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?
Anything TROMA. Hell, everything TROMA.
Agree, Hard ticket to Hawaii is amazing!
In the same style, i would mention:
- Miami Connection
- Samurai Cop
- Eliminators
- Street Trash
I love a bad movie but I could not handle Street Trash.
I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting, but here’s what comes to mind:
- Birdemic
- Samurai Cop
- Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don’t see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.
- Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it’s a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
- Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
- Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
- Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock “masterpiece”
- just… all of the American Ninja movies
Misread it first, it’s about favorite bad movies. Let’s start with the Expendables and let me think about it
I am a fellow connoisseur of bad film here are some of my favorite
Show Girls - Everyone in this movie is a top flight actor or dancer, except the star who is awful at both
The Room - Duh
Troll 2 - Double Duh
Leprechaun 5 - takes blacksploitation to another level, this movie is a wild ride
Bangkok Dangerous - Nic Cage stars in a stereotypical action flick that veers sharply off a cliff when his then wife at the time randomly appears and makes it a love story. However, she didn’t really speak English so they made her character a deaf mute.
There are a ton of awful softcore porns from the 90s, would be glad if someone could add to the list but I really like playmate of the apes
Freddy Got Fingered
Reanimator
Basket Case
Terror vision
Nightmare in a damaged brain
Demons
Brain Damage
And I could go on
Nice to see love for Frank Henenlotter. Basket Case and Brain Damage are both quite good. I couldn’t tell you why I had a preference for Frankenhooker. Maybe it’s the Super Crack?
I only have one, and it is ‘Samurai Commando Mission 1549’
The japanese self defense force goes back in time to defend Japan against from… Also the japanese self defense force. The plot never makes any sense, nothing gets resolved. But it’s glorious.
Airborn (the one with the rollerblade race down Devil’s Backbone, the biggest hill in Cincinnati)
Bubbahotep
Bloodsport
Krull
Bubbahotep
Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you’ll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.
Ah Frankenhooker, a certified Jim Glickenhaus classic!
