RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie Thread!)

Class of Nuke'Em High (1986)

This is a Troma movie.  This is perhaps the single MOST troma movie that doesn't have the words "Toxic" and "Avenger" in the title.  You already know if you like it based on that alone. 

A highschool half a mile away from the worlds worst maintained leaking nuclear power plant is terrorized by a group of 80s punks (that we're told used to be the school's honor society).  In addition, the radiation cause other mutations while continues to while the power plant continue to try to ignore it/and or cover it up.

Fun movie, but by no means a "good" one.

A Bond/Dredd team-up would be lit! 

I unironically enjoy and appreciate CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH and think of most of Kaufman's movies as "good" movies.

Freak Orlando (1981)

Supposedly an adaptation of Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel. I haven't read that, but I doubt if it is anything like the movie.
Far too artsy for its own good. IMDB claims it is full of eccentric humour, I can't say I have found any. It is mostly just people doing weird scenes in strange costumes (on a very low budget).
The Freak is the title is a clear reference to Todd Browning, as it deals with sideshows and freaks. As such it has been hailed for celebrating people with non-standard bodies.
This has an amateurish and improvisational feel to it, from a time when competence was considered bourgeois. You get the impression that the troupe found an interesting location, brainstormed for a bit and then recorded some scenes. There is very little to hold the attention. Everything is very slow and painfully drawn out. Fans of 70s and 80s experimental theatre might like it.  It works a lot better in stills (which attracted my attention) than as an actual movie.
