Hey,
I found this forum while searching for bad films from 1977 for a radio show I'm doing.
When I saw this site i figured out that I'll probably find the experts here.
so, if you know any terrible films from 1977, I'd love the hear about them.
(and it'll be even better if they were noticeable movies, and not necessarily only low budget ones)

Many thanks,
Chen

Welcome aboard!

Well let's see 1977...

There was Orca, Kingdom of the Spiders, Kentucky Fried Movie, Airport 77, Tentacles

and Empire of the Ants starring... Joan Collins!

I'm sure that there were others.

1977 was a bit of a watershed for "bad movies".  Though almost every one of them has gained at least a slightly positive cultish appreciation, there are a few that seem to defy a progressively softening reputation.  ORCA, for one.  No matter how hard I've tried to like the movie(bending way over backwards to infer Moby Dick as much as humanly possible) I just can't get past it's shoddy construction.  My enlightened folks took me with them to see this and as a 7 year old, the baby whlae popping out of the mothers carcass on deck was easily the most horrifying part of the whole thing.

Despite it's justified inclusion in such a list as in this thread, I'm a little partial to AIRPORT 77 personally.  It's got Jack Lemmon in a Flanders-worthy cookie duster, giddly-pretty young Kathleen Quinlan and Christopher Lee in a wife-beater sucking face with Lee Grant.  Plus Kennedy's 'Joe Patroni' became my first childhood idol.

Here's a crazy clip from the Dinah Shore show, where the consumate gentlelady Oliva De Havilland plugs for the upcoming blockbuster itself.

This clip proves two things I've been growing to suspect...
1.  There is almost nothing from my childhood I can't find on YouTube
and
2. Shirley Jones was as hot as I thought she was when I was 7.   Wink

Yeah, definitely go with "Squirm!" -- "Empire of the Ants" and "Kingdom of The Spiders" have moments of goodness, so probably not as awful as "Squirm!".

Aww....  They cut out the clip of the movie! Although it's true what you said about Youtube. I have reconnected with so many parts of my youth it's amazing. I do defend the rights of copyright on occasion, but I am glad that so many others don't. But, before I call myself a hypocrite its not my fault that the copyright holders haven't the brains to take on a bit of advertising and just post their crap online. They're not making money keeping their gems in the closet so likewise it's their own fault if they feel they're losing out.

The words "good" and "bad" are synonymous at this forum.

Don't agree.  There's "good-bad" and "just bad."  Wink
