It takes a certain kind of bad movie to entertain a group of people, because everyone has their own tastes in Bad Movies.

In my opinion, here are the 4 criteria for a BAD MOVIE PARTY...

1. A FAST PACE (Too many pre-1985 movies are nothing but SNORE FESTS with nothing happening between scenes. Keep the party going.)
2. CONSTANT BAD ACTING (Nothing makes a bad movie as entertaining as consistent bad delivery.)
3. TERRIBLE WRITING (It's not fun unless you are saying "wait... WHAT!? The more over-the-top ridiculous, the better.)
4. UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY (If it's not a sincere attempt at quality, it's not a glorious failure.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some examples of what I would consider The Best Bad Movies For Parties...

1. Riki-Oh
2. Birdemic 2
3. Miami Connection
4. The Room
5. Hard Ticket To Hawaii
6. Deadly Prey

'Chopping Mall' springs to mind. I've stuck that on with a few people round and everyone enjoyed it. It's fun, it's corny, it has babes and robots, not too intense/gory... goofball classic.

NINJA BACHELOR PARTY

The Fist of the North Star has already been reviewed by Andrew on this website. I remember my friends and I playing the movie at parties at my buddy's house back in the day. It meets all the qualifications listed in the OP.

I also nominate Bachelor Party, that old Tom Hanks vehicle from 1984. Certainly one of Tom Hanks' "finest" early films. Man, the '80s were certainly cheesy. Hardbodies is another great bad movie from that year. Andrew should give that one a quality review sometime as well!  :cheers:

THE FINAL SACRIFICE
HARD TICKET TO HAWAII
BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS and ABRAXAS are both pretty brilliantly stupid.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

ABRAXAS?! are you guy out of your minds? That movie is slow and boring as hell. I would never show it at a party.

Different strokes for different folks, princess.  Don't ask for other peoples' input if you don't actually want it.

I DO want input. That's the whole point of making a post like this.
I'm also entitled to having an opinion as much as you are. If you don't like opinions, then forums may not be your cup of tea.

Thanks for referring to me as a "princess" though. I think defining me as such, just for pointing out what I feel like is a neglect for the "criteria" mentioned in this thread, seems very warranted.
You're really awesome and mature. Thumbs up!

Troll 2, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Room, Robot Monster, Bride of the Monster, Hobgoblins, Glen or Glenda and Birdemic were big hits at the bad movie parties I've hosted. I'm guessing Sharknado and Birdemic 2 would as well.
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

I don't really want to intervene much, but I just wanted to point out that the picture in your avatar says "Holly", which is a girl's name. So the "princess" nickname seems rather fitting.  :wink:
