Terrible movies that you enjoyed because they're terrible

[mutantdonut]

Basically enjoying a movie for the wrong reasons

Breakin' - a movie from the 80s about b-boying (aka break dancing) with some of the most cheesy 80s stuff all shoved into one movie. Never watched the sequel unforunately

The Mummy - featuring Tom Cruise. Seemed to have one absurdly silly sequence after another. The further the movie progressed, the more ridiculous it got.

Oh, so many! This is one of those subjects that I love, but also makes my brain seize up from thinking about all the options. I'm a huge fan of Roger Corman, Troma, Full Moon, and so on. They're pretty self-aware in regards to where they stand on the spectrum of art vs schlock.

Speaking of the emergence of urban counterculture in the 80s, my favorite movie of the genre is Krush Groove. The soundtrack is great, but the story and acting are definitely not great.

This scene from Dogma (also a fun but not very good movie) sums it up well.

wat in the wat

Dogma was amazing.

Dogma was amazing.

I'll admit my bias extends from the fact that I was working at a movie theater at the time it came out, and I saw it every day for a couple of months. All the cracks become apparent under that much scrutiny. Unfortunately, it's ruined pretty much all Kevin Smith movies for me -- except for Mallrats.

 

[Deleted member 37064]

I honestly can't think of any..

Usually, I either turn it off and find something else to watch. Or, I've walked out of movie theaters before because couldn't handle them...

TROLL 2 x'DDD idk if it is really terrible, I think the bad acting, cheap costumes, ridiculous everything is on purpose hahaha

 

[Tara_Card]

I mean, obviously Spice World is a classic bad/good. Also Coyote Ugly. I love so many bad movies I can't even think of more right now.

 

[yummybrownfox]

Bad Biology

I believe the opening scene starts out where the woman says that she was born with 7 clits. Lmao. The movie is just intentionally weird/dumb as fuck. Haha.

All 6 Tremors movies

I'm genuinely shocked to see Dogma in this thread, but to each his own. My interpretation of the topic at hand would be a movie that by all standard measures people would say it is a bad movie, but damn do I love it.

My number one in this case would have to be Surf Ninjas. For any not familiar with the film:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surf_Ninjas

Everything about this movie even with my kid brain would say it is crap. But I have loved this movie for 25 years now. I've had roommates and Fraternity Brothers in college who had never seen it and I have got them to love this movie. One of my best friends and I have long running bits about "buying knives", "Finding Spain", and "Moto Surfing" strictly because of this movie. I'm laughing even as I type this. To that end we got his wife to watch it with us about a year or so ago and she's like "I have no reason to like this movie, and yet I like this movie" She wanted to do other things with her time and her day and she couldn't get up to walk away from the movie.

I'm sure there will be some others that might come to me, but right now they are all in the distance compared to Surf Ninjas in my late night brain.

CRITTERS.....critters 3 is a work of art!! I frequently daydream I could be an angry puffball that shoots nails and my means of transport is fucking ROLLING AWAY....hahahahah

 

[BalleRenee]

Jason X and Resident Evil 2 are movies that would fall into this category to me

 

[Dan Epstein]

I have so many crate dig ups for this thread....Let's start with a direct insult to the intellect shall we?
Anyone remembers the 80's masterpiece Whoopee Boys?

I love me a truly awful film, and Saturday Night Fever might be my favorite.

Every scene is so corny and the dialog so ridiculous that it seems like it might have been written by the Saturday Night Live team. This YouTube clip has some of the funnier scenes.

 

[JoleneBrody]

Killer Clowns From Outer Space!

 

[sphbilly]

Return to Oz....... if you've seen it, you know why lol

 

[FreqALeak]

Tropic Thunder. Robert Downey Jr. wouldnt survive playing a character in blackface in 2019! And the Simple Jack character played by Ben Stiller has also caused controversy recently, when Snowboarder Shaun White dressed up as the character for Halloween.

 

[DFT]

I have a strange nomination. The Favourite

Olivia Colman - brilliant. Rachel Weisz - impeccable. Emma Stone - engaging.
Sets and costuming were flawless.

I think it's not a good movie though. It's confused if it's a drama, comedic or just what with an art house film ending.

The Death of Stalin - a comedy with drama. It's clear on what it was throughout and such a better movie with less effort in the performances.

 

[curvyredhead]

I would like to 2nd Spice World

and add ShowGirls

 

[curvyredhead]

Grease 2

 

[sexyvanessa4u]

Not Another Teen Movie, Bring it On, Honey

Would never win any Oscars, but I like watching these types of movies as a guilty pleasure when I just want something lighthearted to watch that I don't have to pay close attention to.

 

[Pira]

a newer one, but Serenity with Matthew McConahuwoehfy (I love to spell) and Anne Hathaway.

absolutely bonkers. no clue how it got made, let alone with such names.

 

[Pira]

oh! also The Evil Bong. it's a franchise. it's about basically a succubus-esque bong that talks and also captures the souls of the guys who smoke from it, beaming them into an evil strip club where dancers' bras eat the guys. yeah.

Leprechaun in The Hood from 2000, Ice-T is pulling out weapons from his Afro wig in the opening scene, can you really ask for more?

 

[ElaySmith]

Napoleon Dynamite. I though it was terrible when I watched it in high school, thought it was terrible when I watched it 6 months ago but it makes me laugh so I continue to view it from time to time.

It's a great movie, and don't forget to vote for Pedro!

i saw Leprechaun returns to the hood on TV not long ago.

 

[Capryce]

When I was a child, A Nightmare on Elm Street used to scare the hell out of me! 20 years later I still watch them to have a good laugh

 

[mutantdonut]

I enjoy the first Starship Troopers more than i initially realized. The gung-ho soldier mantra was over the top, along with the some of the quotes. You always hafta question why they waste a million bullets just to kill a single bug when it's far more efficient to destroy a bunch of them with one bomb.

 

[KingMarti]

Oh there are so many, theres a b-movie company, cant remember the name off the top of my head but they specialize in ripping off current popular movies, they are all so bad that they are watchable, the more serious the movie the better.... bad darma and horror is usually good comedy.

One of the awful films I remember watching that was so bad I watched it 3 or 4 times was the evil bong series...
