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?

79

I haven't seen those two, but the best of the best of the best worst movies of all time is "The Room" (2003).

I honestly can't imagine any movie being as perfectly terrible as The Room. It gets even better when you start to look into the director/lead actor/writer/producer, Tommy Wiseau. I'm fully convinced that he's either D.B. Cooper or an alien. Maybe both.

Yea! She hasn’t seen that one so I’ll run it by her.

Oh God. Prepare yourself for a confusing alien nightmare. The acting isn't so much bad as surreal.

The original Mortal Kombat movie.

That is a great movie.

If you want a shitty fight movie watch the Street Fighter movie. Van Damme, Kylie Mongue, and the dad in Addams family...I mean what more do you want.

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.

Those are all great suggestions. Super Mario Bros. is a classic!

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.

Hudson Hawk. Goofy heist movie with Bruce Willis who plays a cat burglar who is hired by a rich dude to steal several pieces of art which contain the secret to transmuting lead into gold.

Kung Pow. It's so bad it loops back to being good.

They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.

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

Yes, I see your edit.

But I'm still angry. I will try to forgive you but it's gonna take work.

new neil breen film should be dropping soon so i'm holding out for that

what a new one? is there a release date yet? is it another guy spoils the governments plan with throwing books against laptops? is it twisted pair 2? it's a magical day the sequel? i can't believe she commited suicide? can't wait to torture my friends with his newest creation!

Cade: The Tortured Crossing

he's currently running some strange gamut of film festivals, think it'll be about in the next few months. not having how he ai quantum shits and cums all over the corrupt politicians spoiled (he's terminator btw)

House Shark is a cinematic masterpiece and I'd watch it again anytime

Fukushima 50 - the overacting was hilarious at times. Knowing it's based on a real story I felt bad at times for laughing so much.

Moonfall. So where to start...

It was a big budget action flick, with sci-fi mixed in. Now don't get me wrong, I can suspend my disbelief just fine - you want to tell me that a zombie can rip a mountain in two, so be it. But the scientist in me just couldn't get past a couple things. It's an absolute blast of a movie, with great visuals. Mild spoilers below.

They successfully hide from gravity behind a concrete barrier. A space shuttle launches from the ground through a tsunami (literally in the water). Just absolutely bonkers. But so, so fun.

Top secret with val kilmer

Kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer are also good.

I'm sorry to post off your comment but there's no icon I can find to comment on the main thread in Jerboa.

But, we just watched Die Heart. It was just silly and fun.

It looks like a speech bubble with three dots inside it, to the right of the like/dislike buttons at the bottom of the post.

"Evil alien conquerors", it even has its own theme song!

Samurai Cop (1991) This movie is just so incredibly bad, it's fantastic !

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

Ok, now if you are looking for a movie that is all style and low on substance, may I suggest: Repo! The Genetic Opera.

It’s a very 2000’s rock opera with pretty good visuals. It’s got a really fun vibe and very goth aesthetics. There isn’t much depth but you will probably be signing along by the end of it. REEEEEEPO MAN! REEEEPO man!

Maybe not favorite, but Zombie Strippers was a lot better than it should have been. They should have also kept the deleted scenes, like the stripper logic.

Probably Sucker Punch. Has nothing to do with a crush I may or may not have on Jena Malone, and exclusively to do with the straight-played, over-the-top ridiculousness of the entire film.

Franklyn (2008). I love Eva Green and the Steampunk vibes at the beginning.

Rubber - A sentient tire rolls around causing destruction.

Iron Sky - Moon Nazis

The Day After Tomorrow. It is exquisitely bad. In the third act, they run out of ways to make weather the bad guy and randomly drop in a pack of wolves to attack everyone. It’s a hilariously entertaining disaster movie

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

Plan 9 From Outer Space redefined bad movies for me. It's inexcusably bad. Many bad movies are really just doing the best they can with the skills of the cast and crew. But the filmmakers of Plan 9 From Outer Space just keep making decisions that are so much worse than they have to be. It's amazing to watch.

anything neil breen did. especially twisted pair.

Fateful Findings is my favorite, Neil Breen is the best worst director ever.

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

Any of the Death Races but the old one "Death Race 2000" is so awful it's great again.

If I like it, it's not terrible (plus I agree with /u/netburnr).

That said: G.O.R.A. and Accion Mutante are great campy Sci-Fi movies. The latter is a bit more gory.

In the same vein, Star Crash is one of my terrible favorites. With David Hasselhoff and a guy that stole the hair from David Hasselhoff.
