2. HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND (1959)
3. the BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE (1959)

So bad it's good or movies that most consider bad that we like?
Adjusted my ranking and combined for a full 20 movies list
1. The Room (2003) – Tommy Wiseau's bizarre masterpiece of awkwardness and nonsensical dialogue.
2. The Wicker Man (2006) – Nicolas Cage delivers one of the most laughably bad performances ever ("Not the bees!").
3. Sharknado (2013) – Tornadoes full of sharks wreak havoc, in one of the most infamously bad disaster movies.
4. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) – Ed Wood's notorious low-budget sci-fi horror.
5. Sleepaway Camp (1983) – A slasher film with laughable dialogue and one of the weirdest twist endings ever.
6. Troll 2 (1990) – Famously unrelated to the first Troll, this movie is gloriously terrible.
7. Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) – Absurd CGI birds attack in this eco-thriller disaster.
8. Pieces (1982) - A wildly nonsensical gorefest that somehow manages to be both utterly repulsive and unintentionally hilarious.
9. Samurai Cop (1991) – A poorly-made action film with laughable dialogue and awkward acting.
10. Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) – Famous for its "Garbage Day!" scene, a hilariously bad slasher sequel.
11. Howling II ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf (1985) - A baffling mix of werewolf erotica and 80s glam-rock camp that feels like it escaped from a fever dream.
12. Space Mutiny (1988) - A sci-fi disaster featuring recycled "Battlestar Galactica" footage, wooden acting, and the most absurd character names ever conceived.
13. Miami Connection (1987) – Martial arts rock band fights ninjas in this unintentional comedy.
14. Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002) - An unintentional comedy where the terrible CGI is only outdone by the even worse dialogue.
15. Trog (1970) - Joan Crawford battles a caveman in a movie so absurdly bad it makes you question reality itself.
16. Breeders (1986) - A sleazy, nonsensical alien invasion flick that's more offensive than entertaining.
17. Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare (1987) - A heavy metal fever dream where bad puppets and worse acting collide in gloriously absurd fashion.
18. Nightmare Weekend (1986) - A techno-horror mess that feels like someone threw random ideas at a wall and filmed whatever stuck.
19. Terror at Tenkiller (1986) - A lethargic slasher where the only terror is the painfully slow pacing.
20. A Night to Dismember (1983) - A film so poorly edited and incomprehensible it feels like the director forgot what they were making halfway through.

I just wonder how anyone could have thought it was a good idea. A shark with a grudge against a family 😆
Quote from: LordGraal on January 07, 2025, 04:55:15 AMI just wonder how anyone could have thought it was a good idea. A shark with a grudge against a family 😆
yeah, it's ridiculous. I mean, certain animals can apparently hold a grudge... there's a story about a bear who attacked and killed a specific camper who'd hunted and chased it previously...
shark vs family though :bouncegiggle:
I'm really surprised there's been no 'official' part 5. kind of relieved, but also surprised
^ Why VON RYAN'S EXPRESS? That's not a Bad movie in any sense of the word: at least not to me. It's well made and well acted.
Quote from: Trevor on January 07, 2025, 07:01:15 AM1. THE SHINING.
like in an unintentionally hilarious / campy / inept way?
cause I can't see that aspect of it (wish I did though!)
(I interpreted 'Top... ' to mean movies you actually enjoy.)
Ok. Starting a list. I like FX films, even if the FX are bad, so expect a lot of those.
In No Order:
1) Message From Space
2) Planet of Dinosaurs
3) The Day Time Ended
4) Krull
5) Space Hunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
6) The Magic Sword
7) Attack of the Puppet People
9) Dinosaurus!
I'll try to add to this later.

Yeah- I think this is a classic and in NO way a Bad film.
As far a s good books not being followed to the tee in films- it's a different medium, and sometimes needs to make changes. To make the SHINING into a plot exactly like the book would be a hopless task. Passages in the book- as when Jack is in the basement reading newsclippings describing the sordid history of the Overlook Hotel would meander for too long time and take away from the main plot. Films need to be tighter. Can you imaginge Mary Shelly's FRANKENSTEIN sticking to the book word by word? Egad!
The cinematic experiance is a whole different animal. Why one can't apperciate both the book and the film on it's own terms is beyond me.
seems like Trev's deleted his list... hope not cause it caused an interrogation! we're all entitled to our lists :thumbup:
for e.g. I honestly think THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is one of the most unintentionally camp movies I've ever seen... it could've potentially made my list! there's parts of it that just drag though
^ I wasn't degrading his list or criticizing it, just expressing my thoughts on why some books won't translate to screen in the way the director wants in order to make the film he wants. When a number of painters does a portrait of the same person, the styles certainly wont be the same. If you don't like said translation- more power to ya!
10) Plan 9 From Outer Space
11) War of the Robots
12) Cosmos: War f the Planets

16) Pokémon 3
17) Pokémon 4Ever
18) Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys.

I remember waiting ages to see that film. It was in a local video rental shop and was hired out a lot so it took a while. I love the dinosaur effects - great stop motion. Completely at odds with the rest of the film though.
To Trevor - please put up your list again.

I's a rather standard sub-par independent 70's sci-fi film. Slow, about people wandering through the desert, with a bunch of speeches the writer or director thought were philosophical. But the dinosaurs are awesome, & they make it worth it.
And, yes, Trevor, please post your list again. Steven King thought Kubrick's version of "The Shining" was bad too. A novel with a ghost story should result in a movie with a ghost story.
Some on here that I'm very curious about.
What is DEATH DIMENSION (1978)?
I don't think anyone has mentioned PROJECT: NIGHTMARE (1987). I like it, but by most standards it is a Bad Movie of epic (though bad) proportions.
^ DEATH DIMENSION is an Al Adamson movie with Jim Kelly.

a low budget kung-fu meets not kung-fu..... thing?! kind of a mishmash of various grindhouse exploitation tropes. I love it
interesting cause it stars both ex-Bond George Lazenby and ex-Oddjob Harold Sakata (who is the worst actor *ever*)
check the trailer!
