Author Topic: Favorite Bad Movies (Read 906 times)

lbpesq · « **on:** March 09, 2007, 10:30:51 AM »

Having just pulled off an almost hijacking of the Northern Cali gathering thread, I thought I'd hop over here instead. So, here is the question of the day:

What is the worst movie you ever saw? I mean real stinkers, so bad that they are unintentionally good.
In the referenced thread I already nominated Ed Wood's classic Plan 9 From Outer Space and discussed another about which I am soliciting guesses. It stars the title character - a guy in a gorilla suit and a diving helmet. The mystery film includes such props as TV rabbit ears and a bubble machine as the interstellar communications device.

Name that move.

Name you own favorite bad movie.

Just how twisted can we get around here?

Bill, tgo

I can't name yours though I can picture the creature. I once knew a young lady who kept a picture of him on her desk.

My favorite, Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Close second: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra

To the rest of the world they're probably bad movies but I love the whole Evil Dead series which includes Army of Darkness. Bill Campbell's character Ash is unforgettable. Groovy!

Too many to decide but it is ironic that last night Wild Angels was on Flix-e. Bad movie but has some great bikes in it, Nancy Sinatra too!

(Please nobody drill me for mentioning motorcylces)

The Thing with Two Heads

Nothing scarier than a former NFL great running around with a plastic head on his shoulder.

Valentino

That's a short - it doesn't count. And, IMHO, it is quality entertainment. But I admit I am laughing hysterically right now as I had not thought about this film in many years. Truly a classic.

And yes, Robot Monster is indeed the mystery film. A small family group are the last remaining people on earth who try to avoid being killed by the guy in the gorilla suit and diving helmet. Every once in a while, for no apparent reason that has any relation to the plot, the movie cuts to old cheesy stock footage of iguanas and other lizards with cheap fins and horns glued on, playing the parts of fighting dinosaurs. Really bad.

Bill, tgo
