What’s your favorite bad movie?

My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers and hackers so something in that vein would be fun.

What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?

  • How shitty are we talking? Because there's, like, Super Mario Bros. (1993), which is a movie I liked that most people didn't, and then there's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964), or The Corpse Grinders (1971), which I had fun watching but are actually terrible movies.

  • Hackers! i never saw it as a kid but my wife decided to go see it on a whim when there was a showing for the 20th anniversary and we immediately fell in love with it. It's simultaneously terrible and brilliant at the same time. we now watch it every couple months. HACK THE PLANET!

    edit: i should probably fully read the original post before commenting

    • It's one of my wife's favorites! We actually decided we're going to rewatch it tonight for like the 15th time.

  • Down Periscope

    It's awful and the jokes are terrible but at the end of the day, so endearing.

  • An absolute GEM of is Dead Alive from Peter Jackson. Just incredibly bonkers and the goriest movie ever made (lawnmowers ftw). Highly recommend it for 80s campy fun.

  • Check out Dracula 3000 if you are looking to laugh at a vampire horror movie featuring Coolio in space.

  • The 90's version of Island of Doctor Moreau is absolutely fucking terrible, and absolutely fucking fantastic. The story behind its production is also really wild and there's a documentary about it called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau that I can recommend.

    Kurt Russell's Soldier is also one of my favorite bad movies

  • I loved Jason X. When I saw it on scifi as a kid and when I watched it again as an adult.

  • I love trash! Even though I love these movies, I feel most would label them as terrible. I would also recommend any of these movies if you haven't seen them.

    Three movies from S. Craig Zahler

    • Bone Tomahawk
    • Brawl in Cell Block 99
    • Dragged Across Concrete

    Extra Trash

    • Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore)
    • Deep Rising
    • Escape From L.A.
    • Idle Hands
    • Warlock
    • Surf Ninjas
    • Your Highness
  • The Cat In The Hat (2003) with Mike Myers; it basically made it to where they would never make a live action Dr. Seuss movie again.

    The thing is, I think it is more for the adults who grew up with the book, and not kids. That being said, while the movie is awful, there is a lot of adult humor, which made watching it with my nephew fun!
