helena Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Please tell me I'm not the only one who has a thing for B quality movies! :D I blame my mother, who probably watches an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie once a month (for the last 25 years). The guys at Blockbuster (closed now, of course), told me I was their #1 customer for cheesy movies. :lol: What can I say, I LOVE armageddon and disaster movies. Deep Impact Poseidon Adventure 1, 2, and re-make. Tremors... and killer insect/snake movie I'll even sit through Razzie movies like Gigli, and The Proposal. Those I admit were painful to watch. But hey, I'll watch almost anything while folding laundry at 1am. In my defense, I'm a movie feind. I love all types of movies and I think I ultimately have great taste when it comes to a real film. :001_smile: Please tell me I'm not the only one who wonders how much The Day After Tomorrow is too much! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I love campy movies, especially Science Fiction ones. I love Tremors, Soylent Green, Deep Impact, Poseiden Adventure. The Day After Tomorrow was DH and I's first date. :D All those movies they play on Saturday and Sunday afternoons on the SyFy Channel. I love Escape from NY too. Then there's the XMen movies, especially Wolverine. Calling Breakfast Club a terrible movie!?!? That's blasphemy. Breakfast Club is an amazing, wonderful, uplifting movie. One of the greatest ever made. :D I liked the Proposal but I'm a big fan of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Not such a big fan of Jennifer Lopez (except maybe Enough). Gigli is one of the few movies I had to just turn off - I couldn't stand it. But, probably my favorite really BAD movie is.....Grease 2. What can I say, Michelle Pfeiffer singing, how do you beat that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is a bad movie, but it classified that way sometimes. Reign of Fire with Christian Bale. 5.8 stars at IMDB.

KrissiK Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 So, what is our criteria for a bad movie? Some of the ones on this list I wouldn't say are bad movies. They may not be deep and thought provoking, but I wouldn't say they are bad. And then... there are some "critically acclaimed" movies, etc. that I thought were trash. I saw "The Saint" on there and I enjoyed that one. I love chick flicks like "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle". I saw "Baby Boom" on this list and I loved that one, too. I wouldn't say it was a "bad" movie. It was just light and cute. Some people might say "Airplane" was a bad movie, but I thought it was hilarious. I also loved, "Monty Pythons's Search for the Holy Grail", which had horrible acting and cinematography, but was hilarious, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would break into a disco at certain points. Oh, please tell me about the music...I have to say I haven't watched the movie in eons and don't remember it. It's 80s techno music. You know it's a medieval movie, you expect orchestral music, but no, you get a synthesizer. :lol: I thought of another one. Accepted with Justin Long. This is the perfect movie for those who follow a non-traditional academic path. :D Despite the abundant use of the word SH!+ though out the movie, it has THE BEST monologue ending ever.

BMW Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I loved Lady Hawk... I was just a teen back then and really liked it... I had no idea it was a "bad" movie until years later when I re-watched it with my girls (they really liked it, too!) Another one was just mentioned... " Reign of Fire with Christian Bale. 5.8 stars at IMDB. I love this movie, it's like watching a medieval war against a dragon and then they pop in a modern military." That was a fun movie...

Peela Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Well I took "bad" to mean not poor quality or cheesy, but bad. So the one that jumps to mind for me is Pulp Fiction. That movie is so outrageously funny. I couldn't remember much of it the other day (hadnt seen in in years) and we had it taped so I told my teenagers they should watch it....they, especially ds15, love bad movies (not bad as in cheesy, but bad as in violent etc). Well, when we got to the drug scenes I took a deep breath, stopped the movie and talked to them about it all. Couldn't let that pass without some comments. Enough to turn anyone off drugs, though!

Shawna in Texas Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I love Idiocracy. I don't know if it is considered bad. Not bad. Wise. Unfortunately, I don't see it as a comedy. It's a prophetic film. :tongue_smilie: When it comes to science fiction or fantasy films, I can't differentiate between good and bad. I can tell if something is especially good (meaning I like it), but I'm not particular otherwise. I pretty much have a thing for all of them.

The movie is still great, but the music almost ruined it. Imagine how AWESOME it would be if they re-scored it! Oh wow! I'm getting shivers just imagining!

sparrow Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Dead Alive (I believe it was released as Braindead outside of the US). It's a Peter Jackson film before he became "Peter Jackson, director of LOTR" fame. Horrible, disgusting, over the top gore and hilariously written! Oddly enough, I'm NOT a horror fan, yet my next choices are horror, too: all the Evil Dead movies. I love Bruce Campbell. Finally, I will watch The Cutting Edge any time I see it's on TV :blush:.
