Movies that are so bad they're good

    See, I think Mahogany is the ultimate "so bad it's good" movie... but it's getting old enough that nobody's seen it.

    Just let me tell you:  Love triangle = Diana Ross, Anthony Perkins (you know, from Psycho) and Billy Dee Williams. 

    Yes... it's Psycho vs. Lando Calrissian. Like that's a debate.

    Lando would give you the clap.

    But penicillin doesn't fix dead so Lando it is.

    I met Billy Dee once. He admired my big bootie.

    It is excellently bad. For the scene you mentioned. For the gratuitous screaming half nekkid chick in the storming the house scene. For the gratuitous inclusion of Flea and Anthony. And finally for the line:

    "I am an FBI agent!"

    I feel like Keanu does this to every movie he's ever been in. Minus Bill & Ted. He was most excellent in Bill & Ted. Probably because he wasn't acting.

    What?!  Horrible example.  That movie is excellent.  

    ETA: so is Point Break!  The scene where Keanu blasts his gun in the air lying on the riverbed floor?  Come on!

    Totally agree with you here! Yes

    I see what you mean.  I really do.  But... no.  Somehow, and I can't explain it, you're seriously, simply, god awfully wrong here.

    Lori Petty. I rest my case.

    Yes!  Andplusalso:

    Bring it on (It's already been broughten!  LOL!)

    Bring it on again

    Stick it

    Clearly, I have a thing for this genre of bad movie...

    And yes, Center Stage is a miracle. I love how Cooper Nielson says "BALL-et." Effing Canadian. :D

    Margot Fontaine had bad feet!

    Flash Gordon!  OMG I LMFAO at that movie.  Sooo soooo bad, but it just made it that much better!  Andplus, Queen soundtrack!

     

    Do you want to live forever. Hawkmen... DIIIIIIVVE! 

     

    Come on people, Max von Sydow and Queen. And super cheesy script with terrible acting. How could this lose?

    Oh, because someone made The Rocky Horror Picture Show, that's how. Tim Curry and Meatloaf.

     

  • Really? No one's said Iron Eagle? Because....

  • Footloose - it's one of my husband's favorite movies to watch and laugh at. 

    Girls just Wanna Have Fun - with SJP is also another one of those - that I love... and have turned DH on to :)

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

  • Not the whole movie, but somehow this clip fits in the thread:

    Dang it, let's try it this way.

  • Battlefield: Earth

    Road House

    Judge Dredd

    Signs (I can't get through it without laughing my head off at how horrible it is)

  • Earth Girls Are Easy.

    Back then, Jeff Goldblum was hot and I'll always love Geena Davis :)

  • LHC, I love you!  Killer Klowns is an all time fave, as is Imitation (and we have to be talking about Lana).  My best friend and I have watched Imitation together about a dozen times, and when we've lived in different states, we've watched together over the phone.  Our husbands think we're insane.

    Valley of the Dolls   "Ted Casablanca is not gay!  And I'm the dame that's gonna prove it!"

    Mommie Dearest  "No more wire hangers!"

  •  Purple Rain

    Better Off Dead

    Xanadu

  • Whoever said Hocus Pocus - that movie is amazing! It's my must-watch Halloween flick.

    My vote is for What A Girl Wants, starring Amanda Bynes and the always charming Colin Firth.

     

    ETA: I second Purple Rain.

  • Bunny, Iron Eagle is awesomely bad.  Great choice.
  • Jesus Christ: Vampire Slayer is hilarious but it's aware that it's really bad.

  • Some have already been mentioned, but:

    Bring It On

    What A Girl Wants

    She's All That

    Mannequin

    ...Slap Shot is GREAT, so thus it doesn't belong in this thread.

    I see what you did there. 

    I am serious...and don't call me Shirley.
  • Adventures in Babysitting

    Yes, KA! Better Off Dead. I forgot about that one.  

    Mannequin

    Girls Just Want to Have Fun

    Flowers in the Attic

    Red Dawn

    The Seventh Sign

    Red Dawn is quality, and really should be required P&CE viewing, so everyone really understands why we need nukes pointed at Russia at all times.

    It's EXTREME maaaaaaannnn!!!

  • My picks: Center Stage, Delivery Boys (it's almost incomprehensible), The Room (you need to be in an altered state to truly appreciate this, I think--I was pregnant when I was subjected to it, so it was extra painful)
    I am serious...and don't call me Shirley.
  • Dude, Where's my car?

    I'm not kidding.  Hal Sparks in bubble wrap?  Yes, please!

    OMG, ETA: Center Stage.  The first time I saw it I was all "What the eff is this garbage?  Who changes a hairstyle in the middle of a routine?"  But I watch it every damn time it's on tv and Cooper Neilsen and your giant bulge, why aren't you in my pants, already???

    Go babies Caden!
  • imageFrkls:

    somewhere in time (i love that movie, but oh so much cheez) 

    i completely agree about flash gordon.  "go, flash! go!"

    half baked.  oh.my.god.  i love half baked

    FRKLS, I am DYING to quit a job this way.  I mean, I am 31 and I still dream of doing this.  Maybe the day I retire.
