CONFESS!!!!! What really really bad movie did you watch and actually like

[LynneSin]

I saw the movie "Swept Away" on HBO this past weekend (The version starring Madonna and directed by her husband Guy Ritchie). Outside the excessive hitting that was going on, I actually enjoyed the movie and I cried at the end of it. I was pleasantly suprised.

Go figure

:shrug:

What skeletons are in your closets when it comes to really bad movies that you like!!!

Edit Note: For some bizarre reason, if I find Glitter playing on HBO I have to watch it. It's like I'm compelled to sit through something that really wasn't that good, but entertains me nonetheless!

[vi5]

1. 2 movies....

1)Bring It On: Horrible movie about competetive cheerleading that I always watch when it is on.
2)Airborne: Horrible movie about a california surfer kid who moves to the midwest and bonds with kids over rollerblading.

[LynneSin]

4. I love "Bring it On"

WHAM! channel plays it about once a month and I'll actually watch it. I think the boyfriend (not the cheerleader ex, but the one she gets a crush on) is a real hottie!!!

[kmla]

15. Me too!

Except substitute in the boyfriend's sister (played by Eliza Dushku) for the hottie in your post - That is my sentiment exactly!

[imax2268]

68. She was in a movie...

Called "The New Guy"...Didn't like the movie...but I always watch it...
same with Bring it on...Eliza Dushku is a hottie...second only to Halle Berry...!!!!

[Red State Rebel]

64. Guilty as Charged.....

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. Josie and the Pussycats, Until the End of the World, Mallrats.

[terrya]

3. "Xanadu"

Lord almighty, this movie is awful. Preposterous plot, horrible acting, cringe worthy moments (the animated sequence is a perfect example)

But, I LOVE this movie. I've seen it maybe 7 or 8 times. I also have the CD soundtrack (full of swell music)

[Enraged_Ape]

7. XANADU is a classic for all time

Olivia Newton-John, ELO, the Tubes...what the hell more could anyone ask for?

I love this movie. When I die, I hope I go to a Xanadu-like planet. Nothing but 40s-era-Big-Band roller disco with beautiful women 24 hours a day.

[lefty_mcduff]

5. Big Trouble in Little China

Battlefield Earth (though I must admit to not evern realizing that this was a bad movie - I dug it). So sue me. :P

[MrBenchley]

12. Have you paid your dues? Yes sir, the check's in the mail!

I love Big Trouble.......

"You were not put on this earth to 'get it', Mister Burton."

"I took a magic potion..I can see things nobody else can see, do things nobody else can do...why are you wearing that?"

[Loonman]

6. Sugar & Spice

Well written, good cinematography, poor marketing campaign.


Some Julia Roberts movie was probably out, or something.

[impeach the gop]

8. Attack of the killer tomatoes

It's so stupid, but i loved it

[MrBenchley]

9. Roadhouse....

Every frame brings something to giggle at, and repeated showing reveal new treasures...

My favorite part--bad guy Ben Gazzara tells his henchmen to go round up hero Patrick Swayze and "bring him here" WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT HE'S ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY IN AN ADJOINING HOUSE.

The henchmen leap into their pick-up truck and drive off. About 10 minutes running time later in the movie, they show up in Patrick Swayze's yard and say "We been looking everywhere for you." They then tell Swayze that Gazzara wants to see him, Swayze climbs into the truck and they all trundle off to see Ben Gazzara WITHOUT NOTICING THAT HE'S ABOUT 300 FEET AWAY IN AN ADJOINING HOUSE. Wonderfully, thanks to earlier scenes in this cellulite masterpiece, we KNOW that Swayze knows Gazzara's over there and vice versa!

[ProfessorGAC]

46. That's Mine Too

Really crappy movie, but somehow i still have to watch it. Go figure.

A guity pleasure, i guess.
The Professor

[LynneSin]

49. Yes, but there was a River Between them

were the henchmen suppose to swim across the river and then drag him back across the river once they got him???

But I agree - I love this cheesy movie!!!!


BTW: I liked the bar better when it was a hole in the wall hellhouse instead of the 90's discoteque that Swayze changed it into.

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Yeah, But Lynne. . .

. . .the stage for the band was so much better after the remod. I mean come on! Playing on a plywood stage behind chicken wire!

The place did have character before, but i'm all for good conditions for the musicians. Call it a protective bias.
The Professor

[LynneSin]

57. Yeah, but when you started seeing girls with Big Hair show up

you created a bar that decent folks like you and I would never ever go to!!!

[AngryAmish]

59. Roadhouse rocks

And bit parts with two of my favorite people, John Doe and Terry Funk.

[LynneSin]

61. Word's to live by: From Dalton, the bouncer at the Double Deuce Saloon:

All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice.

Take the biggest guy in the world, shatter his knee and he'll drop like a stone.

People who really want to have a good time won't come to a slaughterhouse. And we've got entirely too many troublemakers here. Too many 40-year-old adolescents, felons, power drinkers and trustees of modern chemistry.

If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both be nice. I want you to remember that it's a job. It's nothing personal.

I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.

If only we could have Dalton for President instead of that idiot we have now

[onebigbadwulf]

10. Airborn, Starship Troopers, Batman Returns

[blackcat77]

11. Starship Troopers and Twister

Both are pure corn from beginning to end with bad acting and contrived plotlines but they're both really, really fun to watch.

[mastein]

14. Starship Troopers is Nazi propeganda

Worst. Movie. Ever.

[Loonman]

27. Broad dark satire

Not Nazi propaganda.

[MrBenchley]

16. Love the ending of Twister...

Okies aplenty are dead and injured and have suffered millions of dollars worth of damage, but Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are together again, so it's a happy ending.....ho-kay.

[LynneSin]

18. I love watching Starship Troopers

It's so freaking overacted that it's awesome!

I mean, what other type of movie can get away with such memorable quotes likee:

You're some sort of big, fat, smart-bug, aren't you?

or

Shoot a nuke down a bug hole, you got a lot of dead bugs.

FYI....

They're making a sequel???!!!!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367093/combined

[skypilot]

13. "Dude, Where's My Car?"

Harmless fun. And a great boy/boy kissing scene.

[On the Road]

33. I Thought "Dude, Where's My Car" Was Quite Funny

I also think that "It's a Wonderful Life" is possibly the greatest movie ever made.

[Zolok]

17. "The Shoes of the Fisherman"

Anthony Quinn becomes Pope and decides it is a godly thing to avert World War Three....

[terrya]

20. That's the one where Pope Anthony sells all of the art treasures in

the Vatican, right?

That movie was pure science fiction. :-)

[Zolok]

43. What can I say?

I really miss the ominous prospect of Sino-Soviet war...
These days, OH how I miss the prospect of Sino-Soviet War...
:)
Also loved Rod Stieger in "Waterloo" (1971) great holiday viewing for the whole family.
Marshal Ney "France will not follow you@"
Napoleon "France...Will...Follow...Me...To...The...STARS! If I give her one more victory!"

[THUNDER HANDS]

19. Battlefield Earth - Waterworld

I don't know why, but I just like em.

[leftofthedial]

21. Zardoz

even bought the DVD

[TrogL]

52. It's worth it just to see Sean Connery basically naked the entire movie

I don't know why they even bothered with the loincloth.

[uberotto]

22. Death Race 2000...

Cheap, sleazy with David Carridine and Sylvester Stallone. I just can't help it, I likes what I likes.

[Nomad559]

23. Freddy Got Fingered

:evilgrin:

Freddy Got Fingered

[moroni]

24. Dune

The original. I think the singer named Sting was in it. Terrible, but I seem to find myself always watching it. Not the best use of time.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

32. It was better than that goofy Sci-Fi channel remake.

[WoodrowFan]

25. Army of Darkness!!

Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart!

[adriennel]

45. better than Evil Dead II?

Dead by Dawn--that's my fave

[moroni]

26. Dune

The original. I think the singer named Sting was in it. Terrible, but I seem to find myself always watching it. Not the best use of time.

[Mr. McD]

28. Flash Gordon

:shrug:

[WoodrowFan]

31. Queen Music AND Ornella Muti as the Princess

cool.

[jukes]

29. Cherry 2000

I'm so sorry...



:cry:

[myrna minx]

30. Kiss meets the phantom of the park.

My friend gave it to me for Christmas, this year. My gawd, I don't think the film makers used light meters for this film. It is wonderful!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

34. Completely incredible.

I remember, as a kid, losing sleep waiting for this.

[YNGW]

35. The Eggplant That Ate Cleveland

A real spine-tingler

38. I've never heard of that-- enlighten me

I'm wondering because I remember the song The Eggplant that ate Chicago performed by Dr. West's Medicine Show & Junk Band, written by Norman Greenbaum (author of Spirit in the Sky)

http://www.lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/t/theeggplantthatatechicago.shtml

[YNGW]

42. Old "B" movie

Just a really poorly done horror flck that came out in the mid-70's, sorta like the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" movie. I don't remember much more than the title which obviously stuck with me because of the name.

44. ah so they stole the title

from Greenbaum, since his song is from 1966.
Just curious, thanks.

Thought I would mention that the song is pure camp, completely cheesy and quite intentionally a send-up.

[Skittles]

36. VALLEY OF THE DOLLS

ABSOLUTE F***ING DREADFUL MOVIE I WATCH EVERY TIME IT IS ON TV

[ploppy]

40. Me too, Skittles!

Love that movie. Now the theme song is stuck in my head - again.

[Skittles]

73. TELL ME ABOUT IT

Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Kathy in Cambridge]

60. Me too!

Susan Hayward as helen Lawson was awesome.

[stinkeefresh]

37. Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, also-

the greatest bad movie ever:

The Last American Virgin

[ajacobson]

39. Road to Wellville

Anthony Hopkins, some poopy jokes, Dana Carvey being spastic, nekkid Bridget Fonda.

What's not to like?

[UnAmericanJoe]

41. Chris Elliot's masterpiece

Cabin Boy!!!
What a great flick

[CanuckAmok]

47. Starship Troopers and Leage of Extraord. Gentlemen

Sue me.

[boneygrey]

48. Electric Dreams

Can't believe I admitted this.:shrug:

[Nomad559]

71. Electric Dreams

I really liked that movie, Edgar the computer had a devilish attitude. :evilgrin:

http://www.theavclub.com/avclub3613/fttf3613.html

[Lisa]

50. "Starship Invasions", with Christopher Lee ...

The man is amazing. He makes B-movies like "The Land of Faraway" worth watching.

[terrya]

51. Interesting that no one has mentioned "The Bodyguard"

The classic bad movie with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.

It's entertainingly bad, but I have to deduct points from it because it contains one of the most annoying songs ever recorded..Miss Houston in full diva mode doing "I Will Always Love You". Gad.

[LynneSin]

58. That song was a remake from another Bad Movie

It was originally the theme song for "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" done by DOlly Parton!!

[chiburb]

53. HEY!!! You stole Arwalden's "Confess"....

Shame on you!

[SaveElmer]

55. Revenge of the Nerds

Nerd persecution must end !!!

[Spirochete]

56. Moving Violations

Bill Murray's little brother was in it.

[spychoactive]

62. showgirls!

gina gershon, elizabeth berkley, campy bad acting, gratuitous nudity, stripper politics, this gem has it all kids!

one love
spike

[LynneSin]

63. They tried playing that on commericial TV

I mean, it's just not feasible there is so much freaking nudity in the damn movie. Almost like trying to play "Boogie Nights" on commericial TV - you'd lose have the story by the time you're done editing!

[Breezy du Nord]

65. I liked Josie and the Pussycats

It has Alan Cummings and I really like him.

[Iverson]

66. Blood Freak*

*but only with the extra sound effects dubbed in by The Ghoul.

[areschild]

67. The Postman

got terrible reviews, buy my son and I thought it was really good.

[LWolf]

69. Billy Jack

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid;

and Clint Eastwood's old "spaghetti" westerns, most notably:

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly,

and some of the american versions:

The Outlaw Josie Wales
Two Mules For Sister Sarah

And:

Godzilla

War of the Gargantuas


Are these really, really, bad, or just not good, or?

[CShine]

70. Ruben & Ed!!!!

God, I was stoned as hell when I watched that one! Laughed my butt off. Funny things is, I didn't laugh so much when I watched it sober. :)

[CanuckAmok]

76. I loved that one!!

[Garage Queen]

72. Showgirls. (hangs head in shame)

I even bought a used copy for $8.

Worst. Movie. Ever. But, oh so much fun to watch so you can witness Elizabeth Berkeley's career implode right before your very eyes.

[jimbo fett]

74. Waterworld

I'm a sucker for anything sci-fi though. Especially post-Armageddon stories.

I also liked Costner's "The Postman" for similar reasons.

What's really crazy is that I don't like Kevin Costner.

[scottcsmith]

75. Cabin Boy

Wanna buy a monkey?
