I don't really re-watch movies often.

I tend to see the Guy Ritchie films and sit down on it if I see them.

Snatch
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrells

Raising Arizona

Moonstruck

Leaving Las Vegas


I think that is about it.

All full of plot holes, logical leaps, clichéd characters, and implausible action sequences.

All of them a lot of fun. Especially Independence Day.

I've seen Independence Day and now White House Down WAAAY too many times and will watch them again and again.

The acting was horrible, the story was weak, special effects were OK for the day. I still can't pass it by.

Back before streaming movies were overly common place. I love Roadhouse because it is so bad.

I remember reading where whichever channel used to show Road House at least 3x a week said that it always brought in the ratings so that is why they endlessly showed it. I guess you can't argue with the numbers. I, personally, never could get into it.

I guess you could give this guy a run for his money on what is right or wrong with that movie.

The ideal in Plato's Republic, the philosopher king...I mean the philosopher bouncer.

He is the cooler.

Me either.

Incredibly cheesy and stupid movie, but there's some great one liners from John Malkovic and Steve Buscemi.

"Are you crazy?"
"According to my last psych evaluation, yes. "

"Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing around on an airplane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash. "

"NO, THAT'S CLEVER!!"

Buscemi is an American Treasure he is such an amazing actor. And he actually saved two really bad movies - "Con Air" and "Armageddon". Without Busceme these movies would have just died away.

I love his scene at the end of Con Air *spoiler*

"New shooter coming up. Does the new shooter feel lucky?"
"Yes... Yes he does!"

Larkin: I know a good body shop in Fresno if it's insured.

Cameron Poe: Why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?

Local cop: Yeah, it fell outta the sky. I don't think he's an astronaut.
Larkin: What's this got to do with me?
Local cop: It's got your name written all over it.

Baby O: [refering to Garland Greene] What's wrong with him?
Cameron Poe: My first thought would be... a lot.

Cyrus Grissom: [to Johnny 23] I despise rapists. For me, you're somewhere between a cockroach and that white stuff that accumulates at the corner of your mouth when you're really thirsty. But, in your case, I'll make an exception.

Cameron Poe: (watching the car attached to the plane) : On any other day this might seem strange.

"Showgirls"

*** feels so shamed in saying that, it's like saying I love to see Nickelback and Creed do a world tour together ***

There is just something so viciously backstabbing bad that makes this movie so so so so bad but fun to watch! In a way it was suppose to be an insight into a naughty little world similar to what "Boogie Nights" did for the Porn Industry. But "Boogie Nights" is an extremely well made movie (and Julianne Moore was once again robbed of an Oscar). "Showgirls" is just so awful that even the sex scenes are like the biggest turns offs out there. But it's a trainwreck I can't turn away from if it's on TV. And it's made so much funnier when they try to edit it for Television. If anything it's the edited version I like better because you can see how badly they hacked it up with the floating pixilated bra and panties they try to put on these naked women.

*** crawls in a corner and cries a tear for her dignity lost writing this post ***

for that Nickelback - Creed concert.

"Showgirls" is so bad that during every scene one screams silently in one's head: Whut ..... no .... this isn't happening ... WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? How did they persuade the actors to do these things? Everything about it is spectacularly absurd, as if a comic book mated with Playboy magazine and gave birth to a movie. I cannot look away. My mouth falls open and I breath through it. The twitch in my left eyelid returns. The clock ticks. The Earth hurls through space.

"Flashdance" is also fun because of badness of story and dialogue, but at least the dance parts are good, and the clothes (because the actors keep theirs on).

LOVE it

You can almost see Patty Duke thinking, "This is going to get me my SECOND Oscar!"

I have the special edition on DVD and pull it out every so often.......it never fails to utterly DELIGHT me

I think some of the sixties styles still look great, and they really played that up.

although the impossibly lovely Ms. Tate would have made a potato sack look sexy

My friend's sisters were talking about how "scandalous" it was.

but I remember my mum reading the book and I do remember it was considered quite racy

in my town.

no INDEED

So I could relate to that movie.

I love em

With the great Hugh Beaumont.

Steven Segal and tommy lee jones.

Can't stand it. Can't stay away from it

It was filmed in Little Rock, Arkansas. The Arkansas State Capitol Building looks exactly like the US Capitol.

"Oh, a counter-offer. That's what we lawyers - I'm a lawyer - we lawyers call that a counter-offer. This is a tough decision here. Get my ass kicked or collect $200. Let me think... I could use a good ass-kickin', I'll be very honest with you... nah, I think I'll just go with the two hundred."

should be put into the category of bad movie. Marisa Tomei did win an Academy Award for her acting in that movie.

...but I love it. You correct it's definitely not a bad movie.

"The Bad Seed" was on the other night and, imagine-- it still gives me chills some 50 years later. We never see any violence-- it's all off-camera-- but when the character Leroy is burned alive and screaming, and we see only the actors' horrified expressions as their eyes follow his screams is far, far worse than seeing anything graphic. Far worse.

I know... a bit off-topic

It's one of the classic black and white horror movies. I agree that atmospheric horror is far more effective than the graphic stuff, like Cat People (the original), The Innocents, The Night Of The Demon, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Night Of The Hunter, Cape Fear (original), The Haunting, The Spiral Staircase, Carnival Of Souls, The Leopard Man, Psycho, Diabolique, The Hound Of The Baskervilles (Basil Rathbone version). This first clip is from Jacques Tourneur's very atmospheric The Leopard Man, where we see no gore but we get plenty of suspense through the use of shadow and light. Another Jacques Tourneur gem of suspense is Cat People, where a woman walking alone at night is stalked by the cat woman and hears sounds and sees branches moving but nothing else. Creepy.

What can I say- it's so bad it's hilarious. And surprisingly, it actually has some decent acting in it.

What the heck was Bela Lugosi doing in a movie about cross-dressing, with a buffalo herd superimposed?

and was out of work too, I think, so agreed to do it for those reasons

Not to mention what "pull the string" was supposed to mean.

for they will be from outer space.

And the monsters were laughable.

great flick@!

Richard Dreyfuss, but love "Jaws".

Especially the scene where Quint is telling the story of the USS Indianapolis...and then the boat starts to turn around in a circle


Oh...and "Airport". Great cheesy movie

Robert Shaw wrote that part of his dialogue himself.

Airport was a pretty big moviexwhen I was a kid. Mostly because the interior and exterior airport scens were filmed at MSP. the sequals can be considered awful, but not the original. Helen Hayes won an Academy Award and the film was nomibated for nine others.

if I already knew Shaw wrote that part, but it was awesome.

playboy pilot (Dean Martin) having an affair with the pretty stewardess.

And the stereotypical tough-guy-not-taking-shit-from-anybody and saving the damaged airplane from crashing when he gets the stuck airliner off the snow-filled runway at the last minute (George Kennedy)


But I fall for it every time!

but back then, there were hijackings of airliners that were not terrorism related. The subsequent 'Airport' movies certainly were silly. This one was a good film.

Probably what redeems the entire movie.

it was delivered just about perfectly by Quint...his voice...his accent...his timing...

And you're right. All the words that immediately came to mind to describe it were timing, pacing, cadence, etc.

And the payoff was choice. That is one seriously beautifully rendered story.

In fact, that whole sequence of 3-men-on-a-boat/calm-before-the-storm was like a whole 'nother movie.

One of the best thrillers ever made, even better than 99% of the crap in theaters today.

What was bad about Jaws are the sequels which got worse with every picture. Jaws The Revenge, now that's a BAD movie!

with great special effects. I knew all the destroyed landmarks.

In the movie, the volcano erupts in the park between the LA County Museum of Art, and the Page Museum, which is about the LaBrea Tar Pits and all the fossils found there. I lived maybe five blocks away .... before the volcano.

Must've missed the memo on that one.

For reasons that weren't intended.

Love it.

I felt badly for the children and the domestic help, but Joan Crawford was one bada** woman, not to be pushed around....

I find Van Damme's terrible acting in that movie quite entertaining. And I think Chong Li, the bad guy, carries the movie, with his grimacing, mugging, and insane blood lust. To me it's a fun movie.

I love when the deer wakes up in the back seat and I don't want to know the person that doesn't think this is funny

Jeff Goldblum in white chaps...enough said

Otherwise Pootie Tang...but not back to back. Could cause Brain Damage.

Greatest movie of all time.

Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

However, apparently we're the only two who do.

Obviously many of you do not know the definition of a bad movie.

At one point a guy splints his broken leg with a severed arm.

If you see it offered. Watch it.

The first taste is free. As always.

Seriously, if a tornado is large enough to send cattle spinning through the air, surely it would have been strong enough to pick up and launch the pickup the actors were riding in during one of the tornadic scenes..

But yeah, I'll watch it every time it's on too.

"It's not coming ... IT'S ALREADY HERE!"

Trust me, if you haven't seen it, check it out!

I even have the PC video game.

The ships even whipped around the Moon just to pick up some additional cheese.

...incredibly cheesy film, with enough gore to stock a blood bank for ten years...Richard Burton would have been arrested on the spot in Nazi Germany for his hairstyle alone...the three traitors all look so alike you can't tell them apart...and who cares. If it's on, I'm watching it...

You gotta love Arnold's "I'll kill you, last"

Every time someone gets killed or there is an "Ahnoldt line" you drink.



None of us made it past the army surplus store scene.

At least, the original shown in the U.S.. It's childhood nostalgia.




And there's one more, but it's so bad that I won't admit to watching it even anonymously on the internet.

I wish I could love it, but I can never get over how his EX so completely and utterly stabs him in the back. No sympathy at all for her character.

THIS one, lol.

I used to have some epic debates with a co-worker over who really won the battle in Godzilla vs. King Kong.

those old movies, where Godzilla is a man in a suit stomping through a toy city, and all the characters' mouths move way too quickly for the English voice overs.

Cheesy in the extreme, but then, kids like cheesy, and the special effects were what they did at the time, lol.

Wolverines!

Sadly, it isn't on very often.



Although I'm not sure it qualifies as a "bad movie". It's utterly ridiculous but that's the point.

"You keep what you kill."

Because, somehow, that makes sense.

You described the phenomenon perfectly: yet you will still sit there and watch the entire movie every time you see it on.

The Ninth Gate.

It is so, so sick to watch this movie even twice.



Cher

Here are some of my reasons:

a) Love anything to do with rare books.
b) Old dilapidated mansion with fountain (Fargas house). Found after going doing a long, forested road. Spooky!
c) Always been fascinated with forgeries.
d) Deals with supernatural, another major interest. I find it funny that the devil himself wrote a book and put his initials LCF on it.
e) The Girl jumps off an embankment or a stone wall and her eyes turn luminous green.
f) The Baroness' book collection. Wow.
g) The castle.

and Frank Langella and Johnny Depp!!

Now, having written about this, I am craving a viewing and the good news is that Netflix has it!



Cher

book by Carl Sagan

movie by Some Satan

pisses me off but i can't turn it off...

sP

why they just didn't put somebody else in the machine and compare their experience with Jody Foster's character.

in the machine... they still don't believe them.

sP

Not sure I'd call it a bad movie, however.

That and anything that MST3K narrates!
