OK, I just saw the worst movie ever:

The Ambushers. It's got bad spaceships, bad acting, bad special effects (especially the ray guns) bad music and Dean Martin being insanely badly sexist. It even claimed that Frank Sinatra was Perry Como! I thought I had seen it all until this stinker showed up.

It was so bad it was good! No, not really. It was just bad. I think it was Dean Martin day on TCM and they had to fill some time.

For that classic 50's bad acting/writing/directing, but with the added bonus of some awesome Harryhausen stop motion action, I elect 20 Million Miles to Earth ...... look! pause, points, pause, gasps and grabs face......... I'm in love.....

It was intended to be a bond spoof, but Our Man Flint is really bad in its own right, and quite hilariously so. Failing that, how has someone not mentioned the Rocky Horror Picture Show yet? The king of all bad movies. You might be able to scare up some good John Waters flicks as well.

Our Man Flint had a sequel called In Like Flint - made in 1967, it involved a group of criminal women taking over the world, one aspect of which was to replace the President of the US with a stand-in. I saw this on late-night TV in the early '80s, in the only frame of mind suitable for watching bad movies on late-night TV, and about lost it when James Coburn discovered the subterfuge and, looking into the camera with shock and disbelief, queried An actor as president?!?! Well, hey, I couldn't believe it either.

Hold on, no one has mentioned it yet because the Rocky Horror Picture show is a freakin masterpiece. How dare you suggest it qualifies as a bad movie. To fail to see it's genius, is well, I will pray for you........ Peace, James

Hmmm... I *like* a lot of the movies that people are suggesting here. Army of Darkness, Buckaroo Banzai, the Flint movies, Killer Klowns from Outer Space - love 'em all. Don't you guys hassle Night of the Comet or Night of the Creeps!

And you don't like Showgirls? If Elizabeth Berkley is willing to do 40,000 sit-ups for you, then the least you could do is show a little courtesy...

The only movie I remember paying for and walking out of the theater would have been Americathon. I remember wondering what in the heck this was supposed to be about. I'd pay to walk out of it again, too. There are, of course, a lot of movies on cable or rentals which got started and never finished.

I'm not saying I don't enjoy watching the movie, and I won't deny going in drag to audience participation events, but the Rocky Horror Picture show essentially lacks a plot through the whole second half. Its not exactly great film making in the style of Citizen Kane, or North by Northwest

Blood Sucking Freaks

I Spit On Your Grave

Basket Case

Three of the worst, cheesiest F-rate horror movies ever made! They're so bad, they're funny!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! LOL!

Also:

Anything by Troma...of The Toxic Avenger fame. They are all truly, truly bad.

Enjoy!

Didn't 1.000,000 years BC star raquel Welsh in a furry bikini though? Elevates it from bad into the Barbarella level;-)

I also like Killer Klowns. I own Killer Klowns. It perfectly fits the question of what is so bad it's good. Movies that just suck is a different area altogether. Blazing Saddles is one I walked out on.

Oh I forgot about Caveman! Ringo...what were you thinking?

My three bad/good picks are Return of the Living Dead (circa late 80's) and an obscure movie called Dead Again. Dead Again had me wondering when it was going to end, then BLAMMO the last 10 minutes cranked up a plot twist that made the whole movie work!

And who can forget This is Spinal Tap? I have had people watch it and say Who is this loser band not realizing it's satire at all!

jacko · « **Reply #44 on:** March 16, 2007, 07:50:20 AM »

Sorry Roger, you can't have Spinal Tap. It's one of the best films ever made;-)
