Well as of late I feel like i'm hitting a brick wall regarding my Bad movie purchase. And I just wanted some recommendations from you all!
Heres my DVDAF

Ok, my suggestions:
Jack the Giant Killer (1962) ~ there is also a legendary musical add on verson of the 1962 movie; although I have not see that version yet.

Black Magic (1975)

Mystics in Bali (1981)

Black Magic: as always, the Shaw Brothers work theirown brand of magic that always entertains in that unconventional way that only Chang Cheh and company could do.
The one actor appears to be a young Ti Lung back when he had hair.. as far as Ti Lung goes, don't forget to see his fabulous performance alongside Alexander Fu Sheng in Avenging Eagle. Perhaps his best film, ever. :thumbup:
Those all look pretty good. Black Magic caught my eye especially.
I saw a number of Godzilla titles on your list but I didn't see DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (though it might be on one of your box sets somewhere).

I'll third the BLACK MAGIC recommendation. Definitely worth seeing.
there is a part 2 and a part 3 in the Black Magic series...

I do have Destroy All Monsters on VHS and I think I have a DVD-R of it somewhere.
Planet of Dinosaurs - Goodtimes DVD is a nice cheap option. There's a special edition but they "enhanced" the special effects. Probably worth getting for the commentary, though.
Cameron's Closet
Dark Star
Here are a few essential bad movies (some you might own or seen already) from a list I made:

FRANKENSTEIN ISLAND (1981)

Well, last night I watched A BULLET FOR PRETTY BOY starring Fabian as depression-era bank robber Charles Arthur "Pretty Boy" Floyd on Netflix streaming video. Amazing cheapness from trash director Larry Buchanan.

Destroy All Monsters was the all-star cast of monsters and actors.
All of Toho's monsters, plus actors such as Jun Tazaki, Akihiko Hirata,
Yoshio Tsuchiya (The Human Vapor) Akira Kubo and many more.
Also, a small bit part by Susumu Kurobe as one of the alien bodyguards in the beach shootout scene. Kurobe was Lt. Hayata in the 1966 Ultraman TV series.
In any case, D.A.M. was THE monster movie. And that flawless dropkick to King Ghidorah's back by Gorosaurus was so beautifully done! SEE THIS MOVIE! :cheers:
1970s dystopia films seem to be missing. No OMEGA MAN, No SOYLENT GREEN, no PLANET OF THE APES (1968) and its sequels...

I chose by his preference ...he seems to have lotsa Japanese films and B basics.
Well on that basis, there's DOGORA, ATRAGON, MATANGO, SPACE AMOEBA, VARAN, THE H-MAN...and if one likes that stuff, one might very well like the works of Ray Harryhausen too.
Oh wait, he does have OMEGA MAN on Blu-Ray so my initial suggestions aside from that above seem valid too.
I was really into Black Magic when I saw the dubbed version on vhs. Not as much when I saw the rereleased on with subtitles on fullscreen. weird.
Still, it's not actually a very "bad" movie, just outrageous and over the top. Shaw studios stuff is kind of campy in places but not you know, Ed Wood campy.
my pick:

The Omega man is one of my favorite 70s movies so I think you hit the nail on the head with it JaseSF. I've been meaning to watch Soylent Green for a long time now.
and thanks for all the other recs everyone else. :thumbup:
Teenagers From Outer Space, The Room, Troll 2, Hobgoblins, The Creeping Terror, Eegah!, and Godzilla's Revenge are all favorites of mine
