Favorite Bad Movies

[Jack Corbett]

What are yours? I've already listed mine on an earlier post.

[Alan Smithee]

Well, mine are "bad", but hold a special place in my heart. These for me are a few of my guilty pleasures:

Logan's Run
The Last Starfighter
Battle Beyond the Stars
Krull
Dune (David Lynch)
The Black Hole
Flash Gordon

[Jack Corbett]

I watched Flash Gordon so much when I was younger that my Nan either hid the tape from me or I lost it at my house.

So much crap to choose from!

Sorority House Massacre II
Slumber Party Massacre
Curse of the Komodo
Arachnid
Moonbase
Centipede!
Boa vs. Python
Lethal Target
Fatal Conflict
Moontrap

[onionhead]

Si, si.  So many to choose from, although my personal favorite remains Equinox; some love it, some just don't get it, but it's great to see Herb Tarlik sans leisure suit.
Frankenstein's Daughter, with Donald Murphy's scene chewing as Oliver Frank(enstein) is my favorite 50s flick
Damn near all of Al Adamson's stuff
Ditto Roger Corman
Ditto William Castle

[Menard]

Dang...with titles like that who would have guessed they would be bad?  (:

I'm so old-fashioned --
It just seems to me that older bad movies have so much more . . . panache, than do the newer ones.
Mine read like a 101 primer on the topic:
Plan 9
Robot Monster
They Saved Hitler's Brain
The Creature From the Haunted Sea
Invisible Invaders (Now this one IS under-known/obscure, and deserves a wider  celebration!!)
Beginning of the End
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavara (Yeah, yeah, I know . . . it's just that they get everything so RIGHT!!)
* * * * *
I've certainly enjoyed the badness factor of other films, but these mostly older films are to me the quintessence of anything I'd find likeable in other bad films.
(onionhead:  I gotta say, I am one of those who don't get Equinox -- Bad, to me, it is, but it's more of a skin-crawly bad than an enjoyable bad.  Ah, me . . . such a variety of tastes . . .)

I am assuming this means movies you actually stomach watching more than once.


The Angry Red Planet  (When we finally go to Mars don't forget the machetes)

Invasion of the Saucer Men (Bugeyed little creeps inject teenager with deadly alcohol)

The Blob (Strawberry jam from outer space terrorizes small town America)

I hate the picking favorites thing, I just like too many movies bad and good.

My two cents:

Body Rock (Insane breakdancing movie starring Lorezo Lamas - a must see!!)
The Apple (1980 musical set in 1994 when the future is glam-rock-disco)
House of the 7 Corpses
Cool As Ice
Escape From Galaxy 3 (Nice 70's Italian  sci-fi cheese - hilarious)
Uninvited
Psycho Cop
Chopping Mall (good fun to watch with the dvd commentary)
Meet the Feebles
Colossus - The Forbin Project

Big fan of the site.  Many thanks for all your hard work.

Dear God! Lorenzo Lamas in a breakdancing movie? Are there any limits to what filmmakers will do?

[Jack Corbett]

Not bad, not bad.

[Wence]

STARCRASH - the best SciFi-Film ever!
Hard Rock Zombies

[Paul Westbrook]

Favorite bad movies are; Swamp of the Lost Monster (which had the bad b movie line that I mentioned in an earlier post), Creature from the Haunted Sea, Hardware Wars, Horror of Party Beach, Teenagers from Outer Space, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (ok so it really wasn't his daughter), Dracula vs Frankenstein (can't beat afro Drac, and ya just hafta love the echo in his voice, not to mention the ring) Attack of the Giant Leeches , Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Incredibly Strange Creatures who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ( I mean what is with making the Bee Gees sing Beatle hits anyhow?) , Plan 9 from Outer Space, Robot Monster and finally the 1998 version of Godzilla which nearly destroyed my interest in the series completely.
