This is hard.
So many to choose from.
 For the moment I will say

1.BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1955) Bela in his last movie and Tor. Oh yah-Ed Wood made it.
2.the BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE (1959) This movie scared the s**t out of me as a kid. When I first started collecting VHS tapes in 1990, this one was the first I bought from Sinister Cinema. I still have it.
3.FASTER p***yCAT,KILL KILL! (1965) I'm new to this movie. A classic I never got the chance to see until our own Allhallows turned me on to it.
4. BLOOD FREAK (1970) The turkey head monster movie. I can watch this s**t all day long (if I'm drunk all day long.)
5.the DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE (1971) with Erica Blanc. She turns into a succubus and kills people in Vincent Price kinda ways.

 I have watched these movies more than any -even good ones. I don't know why. (Except the GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, which I have watched over 100 times)

And just for kicks and jollies, here's the whole movie of FASTER,p***yCAT, KILL KILL!
This movie will change your life! Tarantino must have been a fan because DEATH PROOF seems to be homage to this.

THE MUTILATOR has slowly but surely become my favourite bad movie ever. I don't think there's much chance it will be removed from its throne now, but never say never...

GRADUATION DAY
CHOPPING MALL
SCANNERS 3
PIECES

possibly? there are so many


p.s. I think FASTER PU$$YCAT is legitimately good. I believe Russ Meyer knew exactly what he was going for with that movie, and achieved it :smile:

Wow. Your like old school Fangoria. Not a bad thing!  :drink:
I agree PIECES is a f**ked up favorite.

PIECES is a classic of it's kind. Mindless butchery with the stupidest plot ever. Great film.  :drink:

PIECES (1982) trailer.
This movie is f**ked up!  :bouncegiggle:

The kid is sawing his Ma in half!  :bouncegiggle: That kills me!

My top 5 based on views/rewatchability

1. Troll 2 (1990) - I love the reactions when I showed this to people not familiar with Troll 2. This film is rewarding in so many ways, and I never get tired of watching it.
2. Showgirls (1995) - combines everything a bad movie lover should like. A modern camp classic delightfully silly and awful.
3. A Night to Dismember (1983) - Doris Wishman's psychedelic murder mystery slasher is pure Z-Grade bliss. A truly mindblowing experience.
4. Nightmare Weekend (1986) - This one is like A Night to Dismember and Troll 2 mixed together. Probably the most underrated bad movie ever.
5. Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues (1984) - Never seen the MST3K version and I don't want to. This one easily entertains me, no guidance needed. My guilty pleasure among bad movie favorites, if that is even possible.

Honorable mention: Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985)

A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER is a special kind of movie.
It stands alone.

That trailer is amazing  :bouncegiggle:

Love the history behind A Night to Dismember. The majority was filmed in the late 1970s. A disgruntled employee set fire to Wishman's film lab, destroying 70% of the original negative including audio. Wishman patched the leftovers together, added new scenes and redubbed the entire movie, including mimicking sound effects (dog barking, car crash).

I must fly the South African flag:

The Demon
Space Mutiny
Nukie
Survival Zone
Laser Mission

somehow I've still never seen SHOWGIRLS...need to check it


one of the guys in PIECES also starred in (and I think directed) DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS, which is on a similar level of crazyness. worth a watch if you havent seen it...

Does a fat girl fart? :thumbup: YES- I seen it!

The Guns of Navarone
Lawrence of Arabia
.... oops, wrong thread  :wink:

FASTER p***yCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965) 
BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS (1970)
GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE (1972) 
GYMKATA (1985) 
STRAIT-JACKET (1964) 

There are "better" films that I think are BAD, but not necessarily badly made.  Maybe just BAD for you. 

1. Space Warriors 2000
2. King Frat
3. Lone Wolf McQuade
4. The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made
5. Shaolin Invincibles

Here's my p**s-you-off BAD movie list: 

CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962)  Definitely a top 5 favorite, a masterpiece.  And bad!  :thumbup:  :teddyr:
DEATHDREAM (1972)  Definitely a top 10 favorite film, good or bad; I think DEAD OF NIGHT is BAD for multiple reasons.  Highly recommended.   :thumbup:
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974)  Maybe the GREATEST horror film ever made.  Also a masterpiece. 
The perfect example of an important great film that is BAD FOR YOU.   :thumbup: :thumbup:
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972)  An important film.  I hate it.   :hatred: :thumbdown:
CANNIBAL FEROX (1981) aka MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY  :lookingup:  Stoopid, gross, mean... Hate it.   :hatred: :thumbdown:

definitely carnival of souls, for sure!
flesh eating mothers
jack frost, the russian one
santa claus, the mexican one
tossup between the day the earth froze and the magic voyage of sinbad

what can i say, i'm obsessed with russo/finnish fairy tale movies, lol!

Now- I gotta disagree with CARNIVAL OF SOULS and the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE as bad movies of any type. Yes- they were low budget. Bad? Not even close.

As far as awful BAD movies- yeah- CANNIBAL FEROX and LAST HOUSE. I would also add CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and Joe Spinelli's MANIAC.
But that should be a separate thread.

Hmmm... gives me an idea.... :wink:

none of those movies are bad

I never seen DEATHDREAM- but I found CANNIBAL FEROX bad in a different way-which I started a thread about!

Have you seen the late '50s Russian SNOW QUEEN?  I saw it first decades ago on TV... of course, that one's good. 

Deathdream is dope. vietnam war guy comes back as a zombie.

I can't remember cannibal ferox

carnival of souls is in the dang criterion collection I mean...

I have. I have it on one of them 100 movie Mill Creek things.

 


Doesn't anybody READ what I write? 

I will assert again, some movies are BAD though they are GREAT.  BAD does not necessarily mean low budget or unwatchable.  Three of those films I cited are GREAT but also BAD (in my opinion).  I don't see things as just black or white.  Including "bad".  Bad can be BAD for you, or BAD taste, or BAD production.  If you don't get me, you never will. 

I read what you write, Allhallowsday.

Awhile back you said there are movies which are bad for you, & you listed Carnival of Souls amoungst them. You consider these films, not films with low production values, the true bad films. Your list wasn't a list of your favorite cheesy movies; it wasn't a list of movies you liked in spite of their limits; it was a list of movies you consider bad for you.

oh yes! and house with the crooked windows, and goldenhair and about 45 more when netflix had a run on them on dvd about 7 years ago. to ME they're all good, but my friends think i'm bonkers because the effects and such are pretty bad. the kids in my life, and my husband, love them too..kids have a better grasp on the fact that the story IS most important in these, and the effects are pretty funny! i like yokai movies too, pretty much any kind of ethnic fairytales . you should see my books, they are getting tattered from kids reading them, lol! i'm cool with that, anything to get a kid to read is a good thing, even dripping popsicles on the pages is allowed.

RONNIE! which set, and does it have more of the same type of movie???

I don't know if I'd considered CARNIVAL OF SOULS bad for you (tho' I might've - I "reed" you!) but, I've long disagreed with forum opinions regarding what a "bad movie" is.  For me, it's not just "bad".  Here I go again: yadayadayada. 
Mmm... well, I don't think you get me either.  But thanks for reading!   :thumbup:

I'm glad I get to pick five, because I honestly have no idea which to pick for my "all-time" favorite so I guess I'll just mash them all together.

The list is by date, not by favorite, in case anyone was curious.

Fiend Without a Face (1958): This one's a classic and by far, one of my all-time favorites. They are literally hopping brains that use their spinal column to strangle people to death! They also bleed jam, and to top it off, they even have eye-stalks! Honestly, I don't know what could possibly be better.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964): Oh boy, this one. This is one of those movies that's a totally hilarious and cringe-worthy trainwreck, but the faces of my poor friends and family members I subjected to this awful movie were absolutely priceless.

Gamera vs. Guiron (1969): I had a hard time choosing exactly which one, but I had to choose something from the Gamera franchise! I mean, when the protagonist is literally a giant turtle with rocket jets, it's hard not to include it. I picked this one because it has tin foil space ladies and a giant lizard with a giant knife for a head that can fly and spew shurikens.

Space Amoeba (1970): An amazing film from our friends at Toho, the creators of the Godzilla franchise as well as many others. It is essentially just another "horrible things that happen at a mysterious uncharted island", but I find the costumes to be what makes it a highlight for me, especially the star of the film, Gezora.

Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends the Movie (2009, and boy that's quite a name): Out of the Ultraman-related movies that I've seen, I think this one's my favorite, despite being a more modern piece. It's a movie adaption to Ultra Galaxy: Mega Monster Battle (2007) series, which is pretty much Ultraman's answer to Pokemon (basically, a select few people as well as aliens have "Capsule Monsters" (which surprisingly predates Pokemon, with the concept being reused from Ultraseven (1967)) and basically they have their kaiju duke it out in exciting battles). The movie is fun and has a fairly decent story, and although it's certainly not the best film out there (thus being a B-Movie), it has its charms and I found it entertaining to watch.

Weeellllllll, if I like a movie I don't think it's bad. But as for movies a lot of people would say are bad...


Lucy. Yeah yeah I know the whole "10% of your brain" bit is BS but I still like this movie. The idea of a human attaining total transcendence and maybe even becoming god is fascinating.

Planet of the vampires. I thought it was good even tho it had a lot of bad movie elements, especially "speed racer" dubbing and some bad effects and goofs. (Barry Sullivan catches a   "ray rifle" clearly backwards.)

The keep. Yeah most people think it was bad I think it was good. Plus dead Nazis killed horribly.

Zone troopers. A loving tribute to the Gernsback era. Ray guns, bug eyed aliens, Hitler getting punched by a Brooklyn boxer, Tim Thomerson. Honestly, there is nothing about this movie not to love!

The invisible ray. Boris Karloff with an afro. Bela Lugosi as a good guy. Horrible science!  Hilarious stereotypes! Hammy acting!

Gee, I can't recall....I think it was 100 HORROR MOVIES or some such thing.... I got in 2006. It had Italian Hercules movies, the SNOW QUEEN, some old Monogram films from the 40's- a mixed bag, most which weren't horror at all!

Freaks-I mean, c'mon.
Jack Frost-the Russian one? Or Ukranian? Witch, man turns into a bear for a while.
Redneck Zombies
Troll 2
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

I kinda like "the green slime" and "the x from outer space" and boy were they so bad they were hilarious.

I love both those movies. I love them.  :cheers:

My favorite Toho movie is one most hate- YOG-MONSTER FROM SPACE (1970)
I saw it at the Strand. In 1971!
"You are powerless against me".
