I've seen ten of those and at least heard of all the others.

yeah no.

I've seen 9 of those. Of those 9 I only really hated Batman and Robin.


Of those I haven't seen I wanna see Showgirls (uncensored VIP edition), The Giant Spider Invasion, The Giant Claw, Frankenstien Island and Road House.

Mofo Rising

I remember telling a Filipino friend of mine about this absolutely amazing movie I saw called For Your Height Only, the Filipino 007-knockoff starring a 2'9" midget named Weng Weng.

She told her dad about my recommendation, and his only response was "I don't think you should be friends with this person anymore."

Probably good advice, but she is still my friend. I'm surprised I have any friends at all, considering I spend a good amount of time finding horrible movies perfectly tailored for all my friends, and then I make them watch them.

I've seen 16 of these.
SATAN'S SADISTS isn't that bad at all! DRACULA VS FRANKENSTEIN-now there's a movie to reckon with!
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

I've got Rollerblade and Rollerblade Warriors in my collection, but even I haven't bothered with the Rollerblade 7 lol.

Still need to see Showgirls.

Seen 20 and heard of all but the Bed that Eats, wonder what the motivation for the bed? Is it from the same family as "The Lift"???
Road House, although a cliche ridden bad movie is nowhere near the others.

Rev. Powell

I've seen 12. I wouldn't say they were all "unmissible." HOWLING II was fairly forgettable except for Sybil Danning. BLACK GESTAPO was simultaneously disgusting and boring. TINY TOWN is great for 5-10 minutes before the joke wears thin. ISHTAR was just boring, nothing special. ROAD HOUSE was dopey but hardly "unmissible" to me.

Molokai: I didn't see DEATH BED but someone else wrote about it for my site. All he had to say about the bed's motivations was "The artist also attempts to explain the bed's convoluted origins—which involve a demon trapped in a tree and a young woman whose corpse has never decomposed—but these stories invariably raise more questions than they answer..."
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

The Burgomaster

I probably own close to half of them and have seen about 70 - 75% of them.

I've seen two of them.

"Terror of Tiny Town"

An one-trick pony, but certainly no worst than alot of B westerns that came out about that time or later.

"Plan Nine from Outer Space"

I never understood why this one has gotten so much heat over the years. For me a "bad" film is one I've seen once and never want to see again as long as I live. And that is certainly not "Plan Nine from Outer Space." Actually, I enjoyed it alot more than alot of films that come highly praised by both critics and audiences.

I've seen 13 or 14 of them. I can't remember for sure if I ever saw Howling II--I think I did. I also can't remember for sure about The Giant Spider Invasion--it sounds familiar, but if I saw it, it wasn't particularly memorable. I agree that Road House doesn't belong on this list. I get quite a bit of enjoyment from that movie. Yes, it's far-fetched and silly, but it's well done and very quotable and, overall, very entertaining. And, as the article admits, Ishtar isn't nearly as bad as it gets credit for being; it's just a financial flop whose reputation as a bad movie has grown over the years. And as for Batman and Robin, I've never understood the hatred; it's full of cheesy dialog, but it entertained me as much as any of the other Batman movies. But then again, I am probably not the biggest fan of the modern Batman movies--Adam West will always be my favorite Batman. I also don't understand why Mommie Dearest is on the list. Even the writer has nothing bad to say about it beyond calling it an "outrageously campy biopic," which is debatable; I remember seeing it when it aired and being affected by it, at least to some degree.

I want to see Death Bed and a few others on the list; I'll have to see if I can hunt them down...
