The fact that the He-man movie only passably resembles the cartoon is in no way a strike against it.
Take off your nostalgia blinders. The cartoon was worse than the Holocaust.
Also, I honestly believe that Frank Langella's performance as Skeletor is probably the best cartoon-villain acting job I've ever seen. Maybe tied with Saruman.

All things considered, the He-Man movie was pretty decent. It wasn't a terrible film, once you consider that the fantasy film genre is weak overall, even moreso at the time it was made.
Manos is only bearable with Crow, Tom, and Joel in the foreground. Otherwise it's a crime against humanity.
MST3K did do some movies that I think are badgood. Parts the Clonus Horror, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Diabolik, Squirm, and the Master Ninjas.

Skeletor fucking rocked. ANd what the hell, I'd throw Evil lyn one.
I don't think so, Qingu. Kung Fu Hustle isn't a Best Worst movie, it's a Best Best movie.
Yeah, it's probably too self-aware to qualify.
I'm wondering if Shaolin Soccer would qualify, but I think it's just as self-aware as Kung Fu Hustle.
Dude, Shaolin Soccer has the 'Evil Team' who get not only roided up by, but exude demonic smoke after being pumped full of 'american medicine.' That is just too damn awesome.

I just love the fact that they call the stuff, 'American Medicine." (or at least, that's the translation my girlfriend gave me - I've never seen it in English).

hahaahah, it's definitely "American Medicine" when you translate it.
God, I love that movie soooooooooooooooo much. I think I'm going to go pop open a beer and watch it again tonight.
That movie actually came out the same weekend as Army of Darkness. My brother and mom overruled me on AoD, and we saw Best of the Best instead. Eric Roberts as an action hero? Evil Wayne Newton? Good times.
And while I'm on the subject of my early 90's theater crapfests...
In this movie, WWF-star Rowdy Roddy Piper's character finds special glasses that reveal the world as it truly is—overrun by evil aliens posing as humans, advertising and billboards riddled with menacing subtexts ordering you to OBEY, etc.
In the above scene, Rowdy Roddy Piper has a friend, and he understandably wants this friend to try on these glasses to see what he is talking about. The friend refuses, and they brutally, inexplicably fight each other for like five fucking minutes.
WHAT?! You'd call that movie good/bad? I'd say it's pure fucking awesome. The fight scene alone is worth the price of admission.
RRP and Frank are fighting cuz Frank refuses to wear the glasses! It's about as inexplicable as Humphry Bogart telling whats-her-face to get on that damned plane.

It looks like a standard, awesome, Chinese magic martial arts fest. But actually it revolves around some white kid who gets transported from our world into this alternate/ancient magical Chinese world, a la The Neverending Story. Fucked up.

Oh, I'll have to check that one out. It looks like something I will enjoy, pass onto my parents, then they can pass onto my brother and his wife. I love buying movies when I know all 5 of us will get use out of it.

I got Suburban Commando used at a gamestop for very cheap. Best purchase I ever made.
I am thinking about trying to find Mr. Nanny or whatever that other movie was. the trailer had a part showing him doing ballet with the little girl and the voiceover said "some to look up too-too" awful. gotta have it.

Clips from Sextette: That is the fastest Mae West moves throughout the whole movie. At one point, in the middle of a musical number Dom DeLouise starts dancing with a cardboard standup of Mae West, and just from the blocking in the scene, it's pretty obvious the script called for him to actual dance with her - the director must've been afraid Mae West would snap in half if she went any faster than a meter a minute and substituted the standup at the last minute.

The part I could never wrap my head around was how he suddenly knew how to speak and understand Mandarin.
Like he's furrowing his brow, and Jackie Chan is all,"Su ing wai ni mae zai xen zen hard enough! You're not listening hard enough!" Bam, full comprehension in mid-sentence!
The redeeming part of the movie is the fact that it has both Jet Li AND Jackie Chan in it. FUCK YES MARTIAL ARTS ORGASM ALL MY DICKS NOW KNOW KUNG FU ETC.

I assume we all get to say this once in this thread soo..Yea I'm gonna have to go ahead and let it be known that this Movie belongs in the " Most Awesome Movies Period" thread, not the "Best Worst Movies" thread.
Come on now, sure it was ridiculous, but in a totally fun awesome way, they took ridiculousness and embraced it, and made it something totally sweet.
The movie is like every single disaster movie cliche combined with logic loopholes large enough to drive cars through, i still can't quite get over just how good/bad the movie is.

While the old grandma getting out of the boat to push them to safety in what is rapidly becoming a lake of acid is high quality in the worst possible way, I never quite found Dante's Peak to be good-bad enough as a whole to watch with friends the way I would most of the others suggested in this thread. I find it strangely watchable when flipping past it on cable, but it doesn't really qualify as party entertainment for me in the way I believe the truly best worst movies should.

Best of the Best wasn't awesomely bad (in my opinion). Eric Roberts, Sean Penn's brother, and James Earl Jones all talking about how it's being a team that matters.
Ok, so it's cheezy.
And I watching the original Batman. I loved the first scene with the Bat-Anti-Shark Repellent. Then Bats wails on the shark since they spray doesn't do anything.

Dante's Peak and Volcano are both very silly movies, (the grandma in Peak, and the heroic train guy hopping into hot lava and melting being highlights of both), but one of the draws of good-bad movies are low production values, and while bad, being technically competent makes them not so memorable.

I watched The Thing last night on hulu. It's always been a favorite goodbad movie of mine.

What? The Thing is probably one of the best scifi/horror films ever made...it is not a "bad" movie by any definition of the word.
I dunno, the dialogue kind of sucks, the introduction is mailed in, and the ending is pretty predictable.
I think it's only a "bad movie" in the sense that most genre pieces are going to hit a wall somewhere on the Serious Film Scale. It really is a great movie, though.
It has everything it should and, while not revolutionary, it is entertaining, tense and just thought provoking enough to stay with the viewer.

But I liked that movie as a kid! And I think I watched it 3 years ago and still enjoyed it.
My suggestion is Tokyo Gore Police. watched it for valentines day and it was really enjoyable. but bad. so bad.
