Not your best, but your worst! B-Movies abound!

Give us your sick, sad, filthy pleasure flicks that you love to hate.

Rules: The Room is too popular at this point and doesn't count.

My list:

  • Hard Ticket to Hawaii
  • Frankenhooker
  • The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
  • Dead Alive
  • Deadly Prey

Special Mentions:

  • Cabin Boy
  • Space Truckers
50

Agree, Hard ticket to Hawaii is amazing!

In the same style, i would mention:

  • Miami Connection
  • Samurai Cop
  • Eliminators
  • Street Trash

Airborn (the one with the rollerblade race down Devil's Backbone, the biggest hill in Cincinnati)

Bubbahotep

Bloodsport

Krull

Bubbahotep

Bubba Ho-Tep is a fucking masterpiece and you'll sit in the corner and watch it as many times as you need to to change your way of thinking.

I already indicated I liked it. It's a great movie. But it wasn't exactly made for the big theatres, and has a B-movie kinda feel to it, so I decided that was enough to qualify it. Its definitely not bad in the same sense that Airborn is bad though.

Joe Dirt!

It was so hilariously awful, I love it.

Don't really have a top list, but that's the one I always come up with when asked.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Within a few minutes of watching it I knew it was going to be awesomely bad, and it lived up to my expectations

Mausoleum, highway to hell, bodymelt, house of whipchord annnddd chopping mall πŸ€–πŸ€–πŸ€–

I guess I don't really watch too many 'bad' movies because I don't have many in my head, but the first thing that springs to mind is Velocipastor.

But is Velocipastor really a bad movie if it did exactly what it set out to do?

Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey

I'm mostly just thrilled that Disney finally lost something to the public domain. (And, yes, I know it was acquired by Disney and not originally created by Disney.)

Disney finally lost something to the public domain.

I'm not convinced that the legal right to make that film was there. Yes, the copyright has expired in the USA, however the film was produced and filmed in the UK. Winnie The Pooh is still under copyright until 2026 in the UK (70 years after the author died)

Good call. I didn't realize there were still places where the original works were still under copyright. But in retrospect, I should have thought of that possibility.

I suppose that makes Blood and Honey a pirate film, which is still good in my book. It'll be interesting to see if Disney decides to bring any legal cases in the UK or anything.

I only have one, and it is 'Samurai Commando Mission 1549'

The japanese self defense force goes back in time to defend Japan against from... Also the japanese self defense force. The plot never makes any sense, nothing gets resolved. But it's glorious.

Timeline (2003) just for β€œNight Arrows!”

Iron sky: for the moon Nazis, it does not take itself seriously and benefits greatly. Cockneys Vs Zombies: better than it has any right to be

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting, but here's what comes to mind:

  • Birdemic
  • Samurai Cop
  • Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Special emphasis on Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don't see enough people talking about this one. It really sucks you in, and it feels impossible to stop watching.

I am a fellow connoisseur of bad film here are some of my favorite

Show Girls - Everyone in this movie is a top flight actor or dancer, except the star who is awful at both

The Room - Duh

Troll 2 - Double Duh

Leprechaun 5 - takes blacksploitation to another level, this movie is a wild ride

Bangkok Dangerous - Nic Cage stars in a stereotypical action flick that veers sharply off a cliff when his then wife at the time randomly appears and makes it a love story. However, she didn't really speak English so they made her character a deaf mute.

There are a ton of awful softcore porns from the 90s, would be glad if someone could add to the list but I really like playmate of the apes

  • Night Feeder: featuring The Nuns, it's a very bad movie that was clearly made with a lot of love
  • Hobgoblins: MST3K classic
  • Blood Theatre: the music is somehow catchier than it has any right to be
  • Undefeatable: Cynthia Rothrock "masterpiece"
  • just... all of the American Ninja movies
  • The Abominable Dr. Phibes
  • Dr. Phibes Rises Again
  • [insert any three Ed Wood movies here]

Misread it first, it's about favorite bad movies. Let's start with the Expendables and let me think about it

Reanimator

Basket Case

Terror vision

Nightmare in a damaged brain

Demons

Brain Damage

And I could go on

Nice to see love for Frank Henenlotter. Basket Case and Brain Damage are both quite good. I couldn't tell you why I had a preference for Frankenhooker. Maybe it's the Super Crack?

The only possible answer is House of the Dead, followed by all other Uwe Boll movies.

Ah Frankenhooker, a certified Jim Glickenhaus classic!

All the classics of course, but to go for a lesser mentioned one: Frankenfish.

Living in Israel for over a year as a non-Jew, the religious laws really got to me. Not being able to take public transit on Shabbat (particularly the train from the airport). When they cordoned off the leavened bread in the markets for passover. The long holiday season when everything was closed for weeks (though that must be how Jews feel everywhere else in December).

I think Lemmy farted and you ended up in the wrong thread…

Or maybe their choices are so bad they couldn't live with the shame of sharing them.

It hurts me to type this, but I know Highlander is objectively a bad movie, but I will always love it regardless!

  • Re-Animator
  • Club Dread
  • Repoman
  • The Fly
  • The Hobbit, The Battle of the Five Armies

Repoman is so underrated it is possibly criminal.

Club Dread is my favorite Broken Lizard film. I guess that is my humor, and it is not for everyone.
