You know how every once in a while, you'll see a movie that's deemed terrible by most of the movie-viewing population, yet for some reason you still love it?


What are your favorite "bad" movies?


I'll start, mine are Grind and Ready to Rumble.

    For my part, I didn't think that The Last Samurai was all that bad.

    No one thinks Last Samurai is bad. It's a good movie.
    Grandma's Boy is fucking hilarious, give it a shot.

    The Wild Wild West. I thought it had a bit of a Ghostbusters, light camp feeling to it. It was my first DVD and I watched it a lot.

    Commando.
    The network TV dubbed version.
    My friend has a copy of it on VHS, complete with mid-80s TV ads. All the swearing is dubbed over and all the deaths are edited out. They redubbed "motherfucker" to "mothercruncher." It's fabulous.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Waterworld.

    I don't know, I guess I'm a sucker for any post-apocalyptic futurism in which all the bad dudes hoon around on waterskis, while the hero roams the oceans on a catamaran rigged with mechanically unfurling sails and sick ass harpoon guns. Oh yeah and Dennis Hopper was pretty entertaining.

    Patrick Swayze is a gun smuggling truck driver who tries to go clean, but has to make one last run. His nemisis is Meatloaf. Features an awesome downhill truck racing scene.

    Also the movie version of Clue, which has more one-liners than pretty much any other movie I've ever seen.

    Huh? I don't think anybody would disagree with you. At least, if not best, certainly top five. I mean, it's a classic. I don't think I've ever heard a critic say any different.

    Hmm, it gets a luke warm 6.4 over all on IMDB, but I though it was one of Cage's better films. Not as good as Leaving Las Vegas but probably better then The Rock.

    If you are talking about the Rowan Atkinson Rat Race, then that was actually pretty good, until the ending where they all went crowd surfing at a Smashmouth concert, and I'm like whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

    City Hunter

    It's an early Jackie Chan movie based on an anime with the same name. It's bad and it's dumb, but I love it for so many reasons, one of the most memorable being a fight scene where everyone for some reason turns into characters from Street Fighter II, and Jackie Chan for some reason is Chun-Li. Pure magic. Also, it was originally Chinese and the voice dubs are wonderfully horrible.

    It may be critically acclaimed; but I think nine out of ten people who see it, hate it. The ending probably being the biggest reason for it.

    I think I saw a clip of that. Oddly enough that short scene was more like Street Fighter than the live action movie of Street fighter.

    For me I enjoy the arrival for some reason.

    Hard Target with Jean-Claude Van Damme is possibly the greatest action movie I've ever seen.

    EVERYTHING gets shot. EVERYTHING explodes. EVERYTHING is in slow motion. The "logic" of the film is wonderful. Jean-Claude stars in a movie with people that make HIS accent look good.

    Hard Target and Commando make murder so common it's actually comical and awesome.

    *edit: Roadhouse is the greatest movie about a bouncer that cleans up a Red Neck bar EVER.

    Sweet Sweetback's Baaddddasssss Song.

    I gotta love it, being that its credited with starting the blaxploitation genre and does have all the coolness of a blaxploitation film, but damn, it's just horrible. The tittle character only has 6 lines throughout the movie and so much time is wasted watching the character literally just run. Some one could shorten the flick down by 30 minutes and it might be pretty good, though.
