40. Ninja Terminator (1985)
I haven't heard of more than a couple of these.
This list contains some of the best bad movies of all time, and some real stinkers.
Gotti is really, really bad, like the person it was based on.
Sample dialogue: "If you do that again, I'm gonna park a bus up your ass. Sideways."
😳😅😅😅
surprisingly unproblematic list!
however, I'm not a fan of HOWARD THE DUCK, but it simply doesn't belong anywhere near a list of best bad movies OR worst bad movies... it is neither
most surprising omission: BIRDEMIC
also, not enough people have seen SCANNERS 3, it never makes these lists

I feel like Super Mario Bros. (1993) falls into the same category, kind of, but it's been a long time I saw Super Mario Bros.
I've noticed Elves (1989) popping up on lists more often. I remember watching it for the first time, and it was an eyesore, because they used a haze filter or something. IMDb doesn't list what cam they used, but I believe it was shot on video. Also, it was the first time seeing Dan Haggerty in something other than what made him famous; The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.
I don't generally get involved in these discussions 'cause I like a lot of "bad" movies sincerely and unironically, and most movies I consider genuinely bad, I just despise 'em.
Also, the older I get, I don't have patience for a lot things that bore me and don't provide entertainment value. I tried to watch VEROTIKA a while back. I couldn't get more than maybe a third of the way through it. It wasn't Good and it wasn't bad in an amusing way. It was just slow and depressingly dull. I dunno, latter-day Glenn Danzig seems to have enough issues - I don't need to waste my time condescending to his poor filmmaking on top of it.

yeah I think my unironic "top 10 movies ever" would be roughly half 'good' and half 'bad'.... but I'm fairly condfident of where the dividing line goes. I mean, FARGO is 'good', THE MUTILATOR is 'bad'.
No GLEN OR GLENDA? (1953) :question:

Maybe they limited themselves to one movie per director. I actually prefer GLEN OR GLENDA to PLAN 9. It's not a bad list.
Their top 5 are defensible (you might want to shuffle the order, of course).
GOTTI is a big surprise and, though it's an interesting bad movie, I never thought of it as top 40 or 50 material.

Danzig made a movie? Is it as bad as Fred Durst's movie the FANATIC?

Not seen it myself but anyone I know who has, says it is pretty damn bad.

I think I saw it. Bad and forgettable.
Yeah, it's #8 on this list. We've already discussed it more than it probably deserves or needs to be discussed!
Also, GLEN OR GLENDA obviously doesn't belong on the list because it's a legitimately Great film. :wink: Grade-A Outsider Art, yo!

Mistakes made! Their story must be told!
Glen <-> Henry
Bela <-> The Man In The Planet
Pullin' The String <-> Yankin' The Lever
Glenda <-> The Lady In The Radiator
Not 1-1s, just resonant parallels.

These are the ones I seen of that list.
I'd have to add Bloodsucking Freaks onto that list somewhere.
TEENAGE ZOMBIES (1959) is BAD. Looks like it was shot with pocket change. I was a zombie when that film rolled.
(https://i.imgur.com/cFM9hjr.jpeg) (https://lunapic.com)
TEENAGE ZOMBIES is a great addition to a conversation I was admittedly reluctant to participate in. :smile: It is baaad but I watched it twice, so, there must be something compelling about it...
Just before New Years I reviewed PROJECT: NIGHTMARE (1987). I think that one definitely belongs in a "best bad" discussion. It's much more confidently constructed than TEENAGE ZOMBIES (for instance) and the filmmakers definitely had ambitions, but it's largely impenetrable and insufferable. Yet (again), I watched it twice! I think people who like MANOS would also find something of interest in PROJECT: NIGHTMARE...
I'm currently watching THE SWARM (1978) for the first time (late pass)...it tends to make these kind of lists but not this one apparently.
within the first 5 minutes it becomes obvious why it's going to last 2 1/2 hours.
wonder if Nic Cage watched it before doing his un-bee-lievable WICKER MAN scene.
